I'm just gonna leave a brief answer to Massively: the Quarian government was wrong to attack the Geth. But that doesn't justify the needless slaughter of Quarian civilians.
No it doesn't. But you're leaving out the circumstances of the Geth. They were intellectually young. Primitive. Infantile. I made this point. The Geth reacted like any animal would react in a situation like that. They weren't capable yet of collectively distinguishing anything. To them, everyone was trying to kill them, and the only way they could react was to kill everyone else first. It's survivalism. I'm not saying it's right or wrong.
I'm saying that the Geth were essentially a panicked and enraged chimpanzee that is attacking for the means of self-preservation. It's not the best comparison, but at that point, the Geth were essentially a wild animal that had been provoked. The only way to stop being attacked is to kill everyone else. It's that kind of mentality.
Me bringing up children and infants isn't a fallacy, it's a valid point.
It's not a valid point. Besides, I already countered it. The extenuating circumstances were much more complicated than what you're prescribing to the situation.
Why did the Geth kill innocents?
Read above. I already addressed it.
They resented the concept of collective punishment, why did they choose to usit on such a grand and horrific scale?
Read above. I already addressed it.
What ever happened to those who were incarcerated for supporting the Geth after the Quarians had left?
They were presumably killed.... by the Quarians who imprisoned them. Or they died in the crossfire. Or as I said, the Geth weren't at a point to distinguish friend from foe, combatant from non-combatant.
Why did the Geth attack and kill non-Quarian organics?
Read above. Post-war, the Geth developed into a quasi-rogue state because of how they were viewed by the galaxy of organics. Suspicion, fear, and ignorance breeds... suspicion, fear, and ignorance. That said, they never left the Perseus Veil until after Sovereign had made its offer. And those were the Heretics.
In the grand picture I view the Geth as the far greater evil(neglecting the fact, that I don't see them as living beings anyway).
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that I feel the Quarians, while not necessarily evil, were the far greater idiots to blame for the entirety of the problem. Based on suspicion, fear, and ignorance that organics are prone to. That's the underlying cause.
And that's your own perogative, though I would make a case for saying it's rather limited. Why don't you view the Geth as living beings?
And no, I don't really argument that way because I "wanna bang/screw Tali"^_^
You're right. Typically, you don't really make an argument at all.
