Murder is killing with malice aforethought and is not restricted solely th mankind. Homicide is the killing of a member of the human race whether illegal or not, though I think the American penal code does confuse the two.
The senseless killing of animals for body parts which is forbidden by international treaty is murder. It is a double crime because small groups of people make vast profits out of this when properly looked after the game could attract large numbers of tourists and raise the standard of living of all the local people. |

ˈmərdər/ noun 1. the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. "the stabbing murder of an off-Broadway producer" synonyms: killing, homicide, assassination, liquidation, extermination, execution, slaughter, butchery, massacre; More verb 1. kill (someone) unlawfully and with premeditation. "somebody tried to murder Joe" synonyms: kill, put to death, assassinate, execute, liquidate, eliminate, dispatch, butcher, slaughter, massacre, wipe out; Murder is term for killing humans unlawfully. Otherwise, I guess I'm guilty of murdering flies and mosquitoes with malice aforethought, not to mention a few squirrels, raccoons and chipmunks, and all my friends who hunt and fish are also guilty, as is the entire meat industry. There is a reason that homicide detectives exist, not murder detectives. Creeping post-modernism. Even if the entire human population believed that birds were in fact fish, birds would still be birds and fish would still be fish.

Gendarmarie officer Lt col Arnaud Beltrame, who selflessly and heroically exchanged himself for a hostage during yesterdays terrorist siege, lost his fight and died during the night. This right here is what a hero looks like. This isn't the movies. This is real life. This man showed bravery far and above what could've been expected, and paid with his life. He is a national hero and deserving of every single honour that should be rightly bestowed.

Wile. E. Coyote
He also speaks with a refined accent in a few cartoons with Bugs Bunny - Operation Rabbit and Compressed Hare - there may be others.

How DNA can be used to store computer data
British scientists think DNA could be used to solve a global problem - where to store all our data. They have developed a technique to store computer files on DNA code. Details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/science...-computer-data Sorry - as much as I like "Johnny Mnemonic" the movie, I dont fancy a future with real life Johnny Mnemonics carrying data around the globe...

Anyway, what's wrong with, say, storing VEF content in your DNA? |

And I dare say there are people in the UK only too willing to have all these people and their wealth in the UK and couldn't care less about what's gone on in Salisbury if it doesn't affect their business interests. Without doubt, HMG will know a good deal more that the general public about the two Russians who were attacked in Salisbury and are probably dead, but maintained on life support equipment. However, if our government expect the general public to support them when they have a long track record of withholding the truth and sometimes misleading the public with nonsense like the WMD saga, they are going about this all the wrong way and appear to have nothing to show us. Right now, HMG should stop playing games, because it's starting to look as if the FSB (assuming they are responsible), are running rings around us. As for any (low-life?) actually supporting professional hits on UK soil, I've no idea who these people are, as nobody appears to have voiced any support for what has the look of an operation that would not be out of place in a James Bond movie. And isn't it somewhat surprising that the normally outspoken President Trump, has been relatively restrained in his remarks about all this? |

Russia unleashed an “extensive” operation in Britain after the Salisbury spy attack, with thousands of suspected robotic accounts spreading doubt and conspiracy on the internet, officials believe.
It is understood that an estimated 2,800 such online accounts are suspected of posting material about the attempted murder of Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, according to monitoring reports prepared for the government. Messages posted by the suspect accounts are thought to have been interacted with 75 million times and to have reached at least 7.5 million people in Britain. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/2...acks-zf6lvb3nc |

Murder is term for killing humans unlawfully.
Otherwise, I guess I'm guilty of murdering flies and mosquitoes with malice aforethought, not to mention a few squirrels, raccoons and chipmunks, and all my friends who hunt and fish are also guilty, as is the entire meat industry. Quite right, Murder is strictly a term for killing humans (with malice aforethought), though the term has been stretched to mean 'the taking of life in an extreme manner' according to my 1980 Shorter OED. Your friends who hunt, (I think you mean shoot rather than chase foxes on horseback), and fish and the meat industry do not murder because there is no malice and criminal law is not being broken. Creeping post-modernism. Even if the entire human population believed that birds were in fact fish, birds would still be birds and fish would still be fish. Not sure what post modernism is, but I doubt it's a disease I have. Birds and fish are different, but why should comments about the poaching of mammals threatened by extinction have anything to do with it I can't quite fathom. Perhaps it's something Canadian, too much moose milk or something like that. |
