Us humans are superior to most aliens anyway, so why shouldn't we look down on them?

Only a handful of races truly matter. Everyone else is just so much chaff.

I know such a concept is probably beyond you, but shouldn't we respect and allow dignity for all sapient life?

I fail to comprehend why I should see all sapients as equals, when they obviously are not.

People are people. There are saints and sinners, winners and losers. ect. Other races are no different.

Of course, but some people are more equal than other.

And looking down on a different race that is on your level of intelligence or even has the potential to be just because of different looks and stereotypes is inherently racism. It's the same mentality of white supremacist groups.

I fail to see the correlation, and I don't look down on the aliens just because they happen to be blue or green.

It's better you just roll with the equals thing before someone reacquaints you with your own inferiority, Kaiser.

Intentional Animal Farm reference?  Nah, you're not that smart.  Or this whole pompous act of yours really is just an act.

Nah, you look down on them because of your delusions of grandeur... which you may be pretending to have.  Dunno.  The AF quote threw me off.

Tough words, Admiral, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Do not imagine, comrade, that my superiority is a pleasure. On the contrary, it's a deep and heavy responsibility.

Delusions, how... cute.

Obviously all the races are not equal, at least to some extent. Otherwise all the races would be on the council.

Hence why we must undo the unjust tyranny of the Three.

The lesser races need to unite behind humanity's lead and overthrow them.

[Blacklash93]

The three council races need to be taken down a notch, sure, but overthrown? Why not rally for reform so all races are equally represented?

I don't know if that would work. (at least in terms of dreadnaughts) As per the Treaty of Farixen, for every 5 dreadnaughts the turians build, the asari and salarians (and humans after ME1) can build 3. All other races can only build one. So that's elcor, hanar, krogan, batarian. 

So say the turian fleet has 100 dreadnaughts. The asari would have 60 and likewise for the salarians and humans. That's 280 council dreadnaughts. So for those 100 dreadnaughts, the elcor, hanar, krogan, and batarian could each build 20. A total of 80 dreadnaugts.


There's a TON of other factors, but the reasoning behind the treaty was to provide council stability, translate safety of the council races.

That's just no fun. 

[Seboist]

It's long overdue for the three council races to pay the piper. If they submit then they may still be granted an interests section in the citadel.

Yep, Kaiser was faking it all along.

Bravo--you had me there for a while.

Because my vision does not align with your own?

How typically narrow-minded of you, dear.

[Shifty-looking Chicken]

I have to wonder, what does this Kai Leng fellow think about chickens?

Psssst: Animal Farm was a parody of the Communist revolutions.  The fact that you quote the pigs that took over in an effort to back your idealogies show that you either a.) don't get it or b.) do get it and are using it as a source for comical purposes.

I disliked how that book protrayed chickens. We are far more intelligent creatures than those filthy pigs, what with their constant rolling around in the mud.

That they look legit.

[What a Succulent Ass]

He hates them because they're not human, and that means that they are a threat to humanity. That makes him an extremist, not to mention a racist, but Kai Leng likes that just fine.

Wow, Cheez, truly you are enlightened. I honestly did not know that...

Oh come on, who do you think you're dealing with here? Some illiterate child? And the fact that you only see those two options serves as further proof to that narrow-mindedness I mentioned earlier.

Sometimes, yes.

Oh, there's more, but most of them involve you being a colossal douchebag with a superiority complex.  I prefer to think you're a generally nice person who pretends to be a douchebag with no compassion whatsoever to feed his inner troll.  Better to be a complex, relatable, and playful individual than a stupid jerk.

And no, being educated, eloquent, or well-read doesn't make you stop being a moron.

Or at the very least a narcissist.

[Shifty-looking Chicken]

Oh, this is getting interesting. I would post a picture of a cartoon character enjoying a bag of popcorn, except that a) as I am new, I cannot yet post images, and I have heard people have gotten bans for that sort of behaviour.

[Shifty-looking Chicken]

Apparently I have just popped my double-post induction filter.

I should probably apologize, but my roommate is watching a loud movie with her stupid boyfriend and I can't go to bed.

SO I TAKE MY RAGE OUT ON YOU! AND YOU! AND YOU... HUMAN!

[Shifty-looking Chicken]

I'm not a human; I am a chicken. Thus your rage has little to no effect on me.
