Quote:Which is exactly why I said species. We are a terminally flawed race, we seek to better ourselves with the sole goal of killing OTHER people. We claim to develop technology to live longer, to cure diseases, to repair damage to our genetic pool, to travel into space, to break new boundaries, but in reality these 'noble goals' are just facets of this constant urge to KILL THINGS. Humans will never change. But it sickens me to see the amount of effort and material wealth being funneled - no - thrown at weapons research. It will only continue to spiral, more and more and more until eventually we finally destroy ourselves completely.You are a member of the species. Killing yourself might help mitigate the horror that humans seem, in your view, to visit upon the Cosmos.
A species with this lack of self-control, really have no business being here. We have the potential for amazing things, but we piss it all away, and for what.. a chance to 'rule' a piece of irrelevant landmass so we can pretend to be Lords and Masters of all, until we die off and are replaced with another megalomaniac the next day with a new set of rules and distinctions of whats 'right'?
No thanks, I'm starting to think the Silastic Armorfiends of Striterax were on to something.
Sorry to derail, proceed.
But I doubt it. You aren't that important.
As to "we piss it all away," I do not care to be included in your concept of "we." I have higher standards.
