No,most renegades here are zealots that refuse to accept any choice but their own as logical,no matter how good the argument.


When we finally see a logical argument we'll concede.

Go back and read FishScouts argument.

Not accepting logic=/= logic not being there

@ Lotion Soronnar

 It is not universal law that the strong dominate, nor is it a law of logic that it is always to their advantage to dominate

 The reason we have evolved as social beings with co-dependence is that survival pressures meant at some point there was a strong benefit to co-operation. That evolutionary history has left us with emotive responses against actions which, though they may benefit me as an individual, would harm others, That is why there are numerous examples in great apes and ourselves of people sacrificing their own interests and even life for others

 Strength may be the best defence, but there is strength in unity. 

 That the whole history of humanity tesitifies to that real politik view is an outdated view, grossly outdated. I don't think you are being stupid for assuming that the other races will attempt to dominate, but I disagree that it is a necessary truth that they will


Then you are ignorant of the way the world works.
Dominance isn't in the past. It's just that in modern times, it's hidden behind smiling faces and fair sounding words and catch phrases.
It's wrapped upin a nicer looking package and hidden better. But it's still there.

What if i told you my own country was basicly bullied into signing an unfavorable trade agreement with country X (which shall not be named), because if we didn't they would made our entry into EM more difficult? What is that if not domination?

And you are missing the point wiht your pargraph about evolution. Unitiy is well and nice and it works. Especially among small groups or individuals. But nations are a diffferent things alltogether.

Relly.. do you belive POLITICIANS of another nations have the best interest of your country at heart?:lol:

This is why these debates go nowhere,you let bad writing make you think that was the reason we blew up the base,what shepard says and why I blew up the base have nothing to do with each other,would you have rather watched a 15 minute movie of Shepard explaining to TIM that he can go **** himself?

I kept the base and my Shepard STILL said it due to the misleading dialogue wheel options.

Oh, but if Renegades choose to keep the base it's because they're Space-Na.zis interested in subjugating the rest of the galaxy based on TIM's "securing dominance against Reapers and beyond" comment right?

Hitler structured his Third Reich into autonomous, independent cells?

 A terrorist is someone who attacks innocents in a country so as to force the governments/nations involved to change their policy, out of fear that their population will continue to suffer such attacks

 So though Cerberus are many things, they are not specifically terrorists

See, this is why Godwin's Law originally came about. 

Well,not exactly like Hitler,I was refering to the all info eventually gets fed back to him. I probably should have specified instead of that gross oversimplification.

I should think it natural that ''all info" should eventually get back to the leader of an organization or nation, although if that's all it requires for someone to "be like Hitler" then the world is in deep trouble.

One man's terrorist is another man's patriot.

I don't see anything Cerberus has done as being particularly evil and certainly none of it is terrorism as I understand it. The Council can far more easily be handed the terrorist label considering they use intimidation to achieve their ends on a regular basis. They just dress it up in pretty language.

My response


When did Cerberus ever use high-profile attacks in conjunction with media frenzy scare tactics to influence the actions of governing bodies? 

"Terrorist" and "terrorism" have become emotional buzzwords used to invoke irrational feelings of panic and terror by the very people who bandy the terms about. 

You might as well start posting a color-coded Cerberus Threat Chart next.

That'd be easier to believe if the Cerberus antagonists in the books weren't such blatant racists.
