OT: Galactic sterilisation

[Puke]

Look here kid, you didnt hurt me ego, so dont be quite so proud of youself. I dont want any part in your political arguement. Yep, we're bullies. Yep, we dont want anyone else to have the weapons and power we have. Yep, we want to be the only superpower. A bit concerned about China and all the smaller fringe Groups that can pose a decentralized threat to our supremacy, and a touch worried about the unified European economy, but basically happy to be the top dog during this brief moment of history.

So now that I've gone an agreed with all the evil things you'd like to accuse us of over here, I'll repeat the reasons why I think you're being silly. First, you seem to think you've discovered some great secret, or that what we're doing is contrary to human nature, or that what you're doing is the next step of evolution. Get over your self. Neither of us are that special.

Second, you are plainly ignoring history. The dark ages Lasted hundres of years. The Pope begged kings and warlords to stop using crossbows and to stop killing other Christians. The Germans invaded Rome and put puppet popes in the Vatican on numerous occasions. France and England were at war for 100 years. Spain was conquered by Arabs and then took Iberia back, and started an inquisition to burn out the Last traces of forign religion. Its not the Last century im judging you on, its human history. And its not just you. im not just looking at the first half of this century, im looking at the history of our species.

China fell to the barbarian hordes, whom became the leaders of new dynasties. Japan underwent centuries of constant warfare. The age of exploration and the age of imperialism saw the bloody conquest of the entire globe by European superpowers. less than 200 Spaniards butchered 80,000 Incas without losing a man, and that was just one battle. England fought wars in China to force them to continue to buy opium. The Aztecs conquered and enslaved their neighbors. The plains indians of north america had mass graves where they burried the entire tribes of their enemies. Islanders from New Zeland conquered almost every other island in the pacific, reshaping them in their own image.

Cave men had sharp sticks

Monkies had rocks

If you still have your peacefull and borderless society in 200 years, you will have a reason to brag. Right now, the only thing you are telling me is that you are a hapless victim of propoganda. Which is okay, if most of the world didnt believe what they are fed by the media, how would the powers that be stay in control?

Good one, Puke. Not too rough, not at all apologetic.

[Fyron]

I have little to add to what Puke said (though he was being his usual pukey self there... ). My post that disappeared in the transition from notepad to internet touched on several of the issues he addressed anyways.

Now is the perfect time for all of you that have not yet rated Puke to give him the 1 that he so wants! (and according to Puke, deserves)

(and you can go do a search to find the several threads (or many) in which he has specifically asked to be down-rated to a 1)

I can't tell any more if this is a discussion of or an argument for galactic sterilization.

[Fyron]

Argument for perhaps...
