Primative on a planet from Andromeda: What are you!?
Protagonist: I am the vanguard of your destruction.. Heh..
Done. Instead of telling me how to engage in a conversation, maybe you should read your own posts.
Not done at all. I'll continue to tell you how to engage in conversation once you've done what I've requested. You want to accuse me of something you've manifested in your head, I'll continue to point out how delusional you are. I'm acutely aware of what I posted. Clearly, you don't grasp what criticism is.
Please, go ahead and point out where I criticized anybody. Because what you just quoted contains precisely zero criticism whatsoever. Nice going. How foolish you look. Try again....

Ok, I'll change the word to mockery then, if that helps. You sarcastically attacked his assessment of the character. If that doesn't do it for you, you clearly don't understand the English language and there's nothing more to say.

I simply observed the fact that he doesn't like the show solely because the protagonist is a meth dealer. You say words like "criticized" and "attacked", when that's just your own pessimistic interpretation. You're a bit over-sensitive. There's people you can talk to about that. I'm definitely not one of them.
This is the part where somebody walks in and says "take it to PMs guiz lolkthxbai"
There's a difference between goodie two-shoes, a troubled hero, an anti-hero an anti-villain and a villain. Mr Meth was somewhere between the last two,
Basically I handle shades of gray. I don't do shades of black.
Really? I haven't watched the show, but I'd place him firmly in anti-villain. He may be doing a lot of bad stuff, but he's not doing it for himself. That qualifies as 'grey' to me.
On the subject of MEA, I'm not sure why this is even a discussion. Our little expedition is more likely to be a boat of refugees than a colonial armada. Unless the Milkies attack without provocation, I'd say they're in pretty solid moral ground. What kind of assholes tells a bunch of refugees with nowhere else to go to go **** themselves? That's a rhetorical question; I've known quite a few myself.
I can already picture it. "Those damn Milkies, taking our jobs!"

No, you didn't simply observe it matter-of-factly. The post I quoted was dripping with sarcasm, particularly the "or any of that nonsense" bit. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but then the problem is in your lack of communication skills.

Well, those aren't refugees with nowhere else to go.
@Jim Raynor: Doing good things for your family (or people you like) is a selfish act, or at the very least, neutral. It takes nothing extraordinary to do good things for someone you like.
BUT, I love your term "Milkies" - Bioware, this is gold, use it!
And I agree - refugees is by far the likeliest outcome.

Well, we don't know yet. But as Medhia says...

Sure, but change Breaking Bad to be about a guy engaging in crime so he can live in the lap of luxury before he succumbs to cancer and you get a very different show. And in all likelihood a considerably less sympathetic villain. And if you remove the cancer part too, well then he's just an ******* and I don't think anyone will feel the slightest pity for him.

IKR? It was a masterful stroke of inspiration!
I still hope we'll go there after a cannonized synthesis ending with our new reaper friends. You know, because the only way to ensure peace in the universe is to synthesze everyone and everything. Otherwise organics over there may create synthetics and those synthetics will inevitably rebell, eventually develop inter-galactic drives and destroy us. So we have to go forth in our rightous green cause and synthesize them all. For the good of everyone, for peace and for the betterment of life itself, we shall bring them closer to perfection. It is what The Shepard would have wanted!

I know you are being facetious, but I actually think this is necessary. And preferable.
Granted, I think there's more to synthesis than what is implied in the ME3 ending, but I think that it is the only solution to the issue.
Otherwise, no, ordinary people can't be trusted with their own destiny. Especially in the regard of synthetic life.
Any act you choose to do is a selfish act. You are, fundamentally, doing it because you want to. That's why you chose it.@Jim Raynor: Doing good things for your family (or people you like) is a selfish act, or at the very least, neutral.

Selfishness is a universal consequence of free will.
Trolling aside... When I enslave you, I'll wave this post in your face.
Seriously, where did this weird, unsupported idea that the Reapers ever got to another galaxy come from???
And yes, as somebody said upstream... Turns out this thread has to a point disappointed me too; when people in 2015 actually says colonization and even conquest is okay...
There is no "good" and "bad", there is only "weak" and "strong".
(by the way, i would really like to play a Krogan)
@Syvlius the Mad: Are you seriously telling me you don't know the difference between a largely self-serving act... and an act that garners the only reward of you feeling good about the act? You draw no distinction between the two?
I feel like this argument is just an excuse to not bother doing anything that inconveniences you.
"Oh, I don't work at the soup kitchen because it's just a selfish act that makes me feel better." Sounds like pitiful reasoning to me.
Maybe off topic, but for the record, if you exchange "live in a lap of luxury" with "repair his damaged pride", that description of the show is actually more accurate.Sure, but change Breaking Bad to be about a guy engaging in crime so he can live in the lap of luxury before he succumbs to cancer and you get a very different show.

@Blackguard: I think what I would consider 'weak' and 'strong' would be very different than what you do.

Isn't it great, how much diversity exist in the universe? 
@Blackguard: Not the response I was expecting to be honest. Yes, it is quite great.
Its very simple.@Blackguard: I think what I would consider 'weak' and 'strong' would be very different than what you do.
@Blackguard: Not the response I was expecting to be honest.
I am an unpredictable old scoundrel.
Its very simple.
Do you have the power to enforce your view to the others? Then you are strong.
Your only options is to die or submit? Then you are weak.
So Mr Muscle lands on a deserted island with a group of 3. He tells them everyone must do as he says or he will beat them up. Mr Ranger ignores him and goes off on his own. Mr Engineer and Ms Botanist tells him to **** off and they run off together.
Three days later, Mr Muscle is dying of thirst. He sees Mr Ranger (who is perfectly fine) fishing and tries to grab him to force him to give him water. Mr Ranger simply throws a crab at him and runs off. Since Mr Muscle cannot track anything, he gives up. Later he finds Mr Engineer and Ms Botanist near a makeshift shelter with a dew collector. He succeeds in grabbing them and tells him to give him water as he does not know what is a dew collector. Ms Botanist sets up the collector and gives him water after an hour. Mr Muscle dies from the odourless plant poison Ms Botanist put in his water.
Who is strong? Mr Muscle who could force his views onto others?
Strength is measured in various ways and one who is strong in one situation is a useless weakling in another
