thought experiment
you wake up tomorrow and a massive spaceship is hovering over america. the aliens take over our television and broadcast as follows: we have been watching you and have seen you attack your neighbors, suspend habeas corpus and torture. we also beleive your sysyem of govt. is oppressive, your religion laughable (hold up picture of noahs ark) and your leaders corrupt. we generally think you make the universe less safe. you would be much better off living under our system look at what we have. they then go on to show burgers w/ 5 patties, 4d porn and levis which make your ass look perfect. they also live to be 200 and and have no word in their language for pain. now they come back on and say theyve traveled the universe to bring this message and dont have time to waste waiting for george bush to figure out its in his best interest so we have 2 weeks to get rid of our current govt. and submit to theirs or they take us over by force and kill the entire administration on tv. what would you say? would the aliens actions be just? some would fight the aliens, how would you feel about those people? mmmmmmmmmm 4d porn.
