Can a tree be murdered?
#7
RE: Can a tree be murdered?
In cases like that, a 3500 year old tree, certainly warrants harsh punishment, it can never be called murder.

Murder has a lot of definitions, but once you start defining murder as killing anything with living cells, it starts getting absurd.

It has to have at least sentience in my opinion to be reliably called murder.

Still unbelievably disgusting and I hope the penalty is severe all the same.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic.
