Do you think that your family members have more rights than anyone else, and do you have an entitlement over being over anyone else?
That's your problem, not mine.
Hell, your argument says that it's sufficient to just save humanity.[/quote]
That's not what I asked. If push comes to showe and ou get to choose between saving your family, and someone elseses..whihc will you choose?
99,9% of people will choose their own. That's normal.
And no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying it's normal to value your own more.
As for rights? In a game of galactic dominance and survival, your race only has what rights it can secure.

[quote]Again, Cerberus wants to work with the aliens to defeat the reapers. Tim encourages you to do so.
If you manage to find one piece of evidence that Cerberus wants to eradicate other aliens races, I'll give in.[/quote]
Worst argument dodge ever.[/quote]
Looks who is talking.
I'm still waiting for evidence....
[quote]
Cerberus is not trustworthy because:
- TIM has lied to you in similar situations.
- They have shown to be incapable of much simpler tasks.[/quote]
Irrelevant and wrong.
[quote]
[quote]They can't do it alone..don't you get it?[/quote]
Source.[/quote]
Because they quite honestly can't. Humanity alone CANNOT defeat the reapers. Hackket tells you quite cleary that we're not ready.
The galaxy united has pitifull chances, even with new tech.
[quote]
[quote]Cerberus and humantiy need the other races just as much as they need them.
TIM is apprently smart enough to relize this...why aren't you?[/quote]
At no point did TIM do anything to help another race, no matter how much you try to convince yourself that he did. What he did do is to go too far too many times to ensure the mere domination of the human race.[/quote]
Oh? This is where you are wrong.
TIM encourages you to gather allies from all races.
They also assasinated a Pope just to quell tensions between humans and Salarians and Turians. That's the opposite of spreading alien hate.
Also, up to this point Cerberus didn't have to do anything to help the other races. Tehy seem to be doing rather fine on their own. It's resources are there to help humanity get stronger.
Now with the reapers coming..it's another story.
[quote]
Common sense and logic. That a base that did NOT create a single Reaper will defeat by itself multiple thousands.
Common, maybe. Sense and logic, hell no.
You know how tech works? What's inside the base? I thought that the possibilities are endless.
Last time I checked you provided some examples who couldn't have any significance -especially by themselves- those were answered, and then you switched to "but the possibilities are infinite!"[/quote]
You didn't answer anytihing. You handwaved and ignored.
You dug yourself in your litttle bunker of "
nothing can defeat the reapers, nothig can help...except my redicolous bomb idea! Yay me!"[quote]
And again, if you think that using words and phrases with no real meaning or justification such as "No." "Agree!" or "logic and common sense" "infinite!" helps win an argument, then that's not just your problem, but also the hypocrisy of the people who hold the same stance as you do and don't bother to rebutt you.[/quote]
All those phrases have a meaning. You'd do well to learn it.
[quote]
All that is seen here is the simplistic statement of "The possibilities are infinite!" and the downright refusal of further explanation.[/quote]
You really want me to explain to you the basic principles of science and advancement? That's what school is for. That's what books are for! I'm not here to write a disserations.
[quote]
[quote]You claim that a amssive base (10km in length at least) filled wiht all kinds of tech and mechienery used to build a reaper (and a reaper corpse) would in no way advance our technology, defenses or weaponry.
This statement is so utterly senseless that I don't know how to respond to it. Flat and young Earth proponents make more sense than you![/quote]
Filled with tech and machinery? Source?
Tech and machinery to do what exactly? Build a single Reaper? Did they do it? Can the base help us defeat all of the Reaper using a small part of the technolodgy the Reapers have, who also happen to be more experienced, intelligent and multiple thousands the times that the HR would have been, should he have been completed?[/quote]
Source - the game. It IS filled with tech and machienry. WTF you think it's in there? Air? TIM specificly mentions it.
Are you honestly telling everyone here that a shipyard used to build ships doesn't have the equipment and parts necessary to build ships?And can the base help? Yes...yes it can.
Every thing we find from it increases our chances of survival.
[quote]
[quote]I have and Idid. But you cannot graps how technolgoy works nad how it INTERACTS and how one new inventions/discovery open MANY new possibilites and avenus. [/quote]
Yes, I can perfectly understand on a very basic level how technolodgy in the MEverse works. It is not too far from our own.
How it interacts? BS.
There is very specific tech in the MEverse, you need to specify which one could be advanced to the point of making us win the Reapers, and how the CB would affect that, or else you are claiming that the CB is "standalone".[/quote]
I already have told you. Given multiple examples. Tons of smaller enhancements or a few larger ones. Either way, our ships getting better shields, better guns, increases of efficiency in other areas...etc..
[quote]
[quote]And hostory proves this. go read some history books and see how many inventions and devices, designed for one purpose, were applied and used in advancing many other fields and devices. Uses the original creators never though of.
You spit on the creativity of human beings and the great inventors and visionaries.
People that were obviously not like you.[/quote]
Give me examples and I'll explain exactly why you are wrong in every single one.[/quote]
Go read some books. tht's what tehy're for. Or if you're not the reading type, watch documentaries. There's a good one on Discovery Channel, called Weirdconnections (IIRC), and plenty of others.
It's a historical fact that inventions often transcend their original purpose and find aplications in other areas.
[quote]
[quote]Untill you don't know the final outcome...nope.[/quote]
[quote]And it remains a metagaming arguments, which renders it null and void. Yet you constantly keep retuning to it. Desperate much?[/quote]
Are you serious? How could you manage ending up responding to my original argument which said "Yes, it is metagaming, but this is why you should stop acting as if it is a good choice." by saying "BUT THIS IS METAGAMING"[/quote]
Because they are two different arguments. Don't drag things out of context.
While the argument on how smart the choice is when made In-universe doesn't depend on ME3, how that choice ends up does.
In other words, you cannot say "this choice is smart because Cerberus will end up turning on you".. it's wrong on 2 accounts.
1) it's metagaming
2) you still don't know the final result, so you still can't tell.
[quote]
[quote]It's a sufficient answer.
You're assumign a less likely scenario. [/quote]
Uh..
you are claiming that a terrorist organization wanted by pretty much everyone will drop by and distribute valuable tech here and there.[/quote]
Yes. It's already been doing that.
[quote]
[quote]That everyone in cerberus will simply ignore the danger of reapers. That no one will disagree with TIM if he decides to keep all tech. that there will be no defectors and snitches. Taht TIM would even do something like that in the first place.[/quote]
There were no defectors or snitches when TIM murdered two politicians. And a Pope. When he abducted asari and experimented on them. When he started killing Alliance soldiers. And Admirals who ask questions. There were none when he ordered building a camp which abducts children and experiments on them. None when he irradiated a colony and caused brain tumors to multiple infants. Do I need to go on?[/quote]
Yes.
Becasue those are not the same as survival of an entire galaxy.
Not to mention that you do not know if there were defectors.
