Silver,
Didn't I tell you a 120 page dissertation is only useful for toilet paper or to heat my fireplace?
I love my siblings. I will love my kids when I have them. If the alternative is strapping guns to their homes and taking them to war then I will exhaust all peace options however unrealistic or impossible they appear. I have nothing to lose by doing so except at worst my life. My life is worth the lives of my siblings and children. There is no justification in my world for the Quarians to not have spent those 6 months actively in peace talks. Tali and Leejin were talking before Lejin went dark and there is no evidence the Quarians ever officially negotiated peace or determined from the Geth their conditiosn for peace. None.
Further more, the rules of war are clear. If you arm civilians or place them with military personal then one of two things happens. They are either enemy combatants or you are guilty of trying to use human shields. Those are the only two options and under both if they get killed the fault lies with you and not the enemy that kills them. The former is actually better because you can claim you conscripted them which a government has a right to do. The latter is worse because human shields can be considered a war crime. So I don't need you long winded opinion. I need you to understand the rules of war and explain to me why the Quarians arming or mixing their civilians with the miliatary is not one of the above two things.
And finally, Leejin found the signal, end of story. There is nothing in the game that says EDI could find it without Leejin
You did, hence the reason that I called you out on being prejudice, sociopathic, amoral, cruel, ect.
The altertnitive is to DIE. To say that you would rather die and let your kids and siblings die, for the sake of your pride - for the sake of trying to prove a point - that's
amoral. If anything, it shows that you could care LESS about them or their well-being, as long as you get your last word in. That you'd gladly throw them under the bus if it ment you could prove a point that's irrelevent now, given that war is the only option left.
But hey, if you entire family's death is worth it, go ahead and burn them at the stake for your pride.
I don't agree with him most of the time, but there is
one instance where Javik has a point on something;
"Because you still believe that this war will end with your honor intact. Stand in the ashes of a
trillion dead souls, and ask the
ghosts if
honor matters."
"The Silence is your answer."
Inflexible morals can cause just as much harm as having no morals at all. That's why @DenionSlayer and @sH0tgUn jUliA hate metagamers that blindly follow one side and don't consider all options and the logic and reasoning behind them.
If they are on the verge of the end, and there was a massive threat that was assured to kill you when it reaches you, and the only hope if reclaiming the homeland, anyone that REALLY cared about their kids and siblings would take whatever chance they believed would work. Not risk everything on an unprovible maybe against an enemy that has always been ruthless. They actually CARE about their families enough to not gamble their lives like that. Unlike someone else.
It's no more dangerous them Moses' exodus, so stop trying to tote that as a point.
Also, FIY, LEGION cut the contact after the geth sent out a call demanding he return. It was NOT the quarians that sent him off.
Also, AGAIN, Tali straight-up tells you that she and Legion went to the Admrials and presented this, but without any proof, Gerrel and Raan didin't believe in Legion's word. (I leave Xen out of this because she would not change her views no matter what).
And when the hell do rules cut it?
So a terrorist comes before you. He's responcible for a dozen bombings. Yet right now, he's unarmed. You are saying that you should let him go and bucther more people just because he isn't armed now?
Also, those rules break all the time. Like when military are
evacuating noncombatants and civilians. THAT'S a situtation in which they are togther, yet it's NOT in your little slate of rules, is it?
You are basically saying that butchering those million or so civilians is okay to kill the hundred or so soldiers guarding them. How sociopathic. If you have ANY shread of morals, you would not shoot on an enemy that didn't fire, or are incapable of firing. And just now, you have basically stopped trying to pin the deaths on quarians, and saying that's it's okay to butcher civilians. That it's fine to gas an entire city of millions to take out one squad of soldiers.
How prejudcied. Your morals are nothing short of the mosntorus ideals used by the genocidal madmen, or ruthless dictators: inflexible lack of morals. You already tried using Godwin's Law more then once in this debate when you couldn't refute the point yourself.
And finally, "The Nromandy is EDI. She sees and feels through the sensors."
She monitors every strip of commnication, and every data process made.
Anything done using Normandy's equipment and sensor data was done with help from EDI.
END OF STORY.
All you have done is show you prejducied and amoral YOUR views are, and that you think you are God and derserve to pass ultimate judgement on one race for doing something you consider a crime, yet defend another race for doing the same exact thing, because - Godwin.
It seems like I was wrong on ONE thing: you are more like
Xen then you are a Heretic geth.
