I am not using that as proof, I am using that as pointers that TIM cannot be tursted.

Maybe he was behind Akuze or maybe he was not (I would not be shocked that he was behind it).

Understanding the extent of the Reaper threat and wanting to find keep the cache of Collector technology and secrets that could help defeat the Reapers makes him untrustworthy?

Well maybe you should wait until you know whether he was or was not directly involved with Akuze instead of just murdering people willy nilly.

How will he then use that tech after the Reaper have been beaten then?

Hes only goal is to make humans the domanet race in the galaxy.

There wont be any humans left if the Reapers are not stopped. It's difficult to justify to someone that you didn't save their family from a violent criminal b/c you were afraid of being sued.

And what's wrong with wanting human dominance, in and of itself?

History in itself proves we suck at that....I would prefer equal footing thanks....What I would REALLY like to see is all species with a place on the Council.

How will the other races use the Reaper tech that they get post Reapers?
No matter what the galaxy is going to get loads of Reaper tech if the Reapers are defeated so we might as well use what we're given so we can defeat the Reapers.

Untrue.
He also wishes to proserve, advance and protect humanity.

What about them? I'm a pretty thorough paragon, and my personal canon destroys the CB, but I disagree with your motivations to do so and your excuse to justify killing TIM.

Frankly, other species only matter to me in how they can help humanity advance. Every other species, in a general sense, has a similar perspective. The Salarians and Asari did not create the council b/c they wanted to help the other, they made it because it was more beneficial than the likely conflicts that would arise as they competed for territory and resources. It is a means to ensure their continued dominance.

They let the Turians and Humans onto the council b/c both of these species would simply take power by force if they were not allowed into a co-equal situation. Still, they all still compete for power, regardless of weather it is economic, political, or military, but they enhance all of their own interests by abiding a the Citadel Accords in order to avoid open war, which would be mutally destructive. They only help others so much as it helps themselves, either now or in the future by maintaining the credibility of their position and authority.

Would you mind citing an example of how we 'suck at that', or how the Council's dominance is better? [sarcasm]I'm sure that the Quarians are perfectly content with the Council's management of galactic affairs, as well as the Krogan. and the Rachni[/sarcasm]. Meanwhile, humanity has managed to unify under the Systems Alliance without any outside influence.

Your (assumed) premise that we should work for the benefit of everyone except ourselves is a deeply flawed philosophy that has never worked in history, and does not reflect the reality of the political situation in the ME universe. Everyone is out for themselves, even if they get the most by cooperation rather than intimidation and force.

So Miranda says but when on the Collector Base even she turns her back on him.

They will be enslaved, oppressed or just killed.

Isn't that great?

Not only was it out of character, I'm surprised she didn't slap herself in the face with those breasts of hers with that speedy heel-face-turn of hers.

And because of that out of character moment with Miranda we don't have a single female squadmate that endorses keeping the Collector base. Now that's bull****.

If you feel T.I.M. deserves to die, that's your own perrogative. But if you're trying to prove it's the better option, you should definitely cite some really good evidence. The point of the matter is that we don't have all the facts yet. You can't make a judgment like this so easily.

Evey time I take her with Shepard to fight that human-Reaper I think that every time.
When I first played I thought  that she would betray Shepard if he tried to blow up the base.

I don't think she was out of character if she is loyal...and if you use her on Pragia/the collector ship.
