much as i would like to say that i would love to sacrifice the world for my LI... i dont know. See, here's the thing. its so very very easy to say "i would kill these tons of people to save the one i love" because its personal. those many thousands or millions of people are just a number. if you think about it, its too big to comprehend. when someone says to me, "300 thousand people were killed in an earthquake, etc" then i say "wow. that sucks" and then move on with my life. cause it doesn't affect me. i know, on an intellectual level that its really terrible, but because its so distant from me, its hard for me to... care. and that sounds callous, but there you have it. and that's human nature.
They say "there's children starving in third world countries." and while we can all look at a picture of these kids and feel bad and want to help... soon as its out of sight its out of mind. its too hard to care. it takes too much focus to care. and really? its just too big.
look at the wars that go on. so many people die. and while we all know it sucks, we're all so far removed from it that we just don't think about it for more than a few minutes unless given one hell of a reason to.
Bubble, I see your point. and honestly, the sacrifice/genocide of ANY race is terrible. i dont care how much of a bastard that race is as a whole. hell, even the geth. just because they may or may not have feelings doesn't mean that they deserve to be destroyed. They are a living thing. well, living things.
so to answer that question of would i sacrifice my LI...the person who was my world and my life for an entire race? honestly? it would really really have to depend on the circumstance.
so there you have it.
and i'm gonna agree with tsk16... the geth are adorable.
edit: i also apologize if i offend anyone and for helping to derail the thread. i just like to speak my mind
