Not true, you clearly don't understand how a social mammal behaves in nature.
Trust me, a chimp DOES care if he/she sees another chimp suffering, just to give an example.
All the great apes are capable of showing empathy and act towards a moral code that's not so different form ours.

We are not so different from other social mammals, we're just furter evolved, that's all.

And where did I say other animals weren't capable of basic society?
The point is when you move into society you have gone beyond pure survival of the fittest. Evolution and nature aren't rules set in stones, they're reactions to enviroment. If those reactions eventually evolve social animals then survival of the fittest becomes a lesser factor.

I don't think you understand what survival of the fittest means.

It doesn't mean the strongest individual survives.

It means genetic traits that are the most condusive to getting passed on get passed on, its impossible for it really not to be true.

This doesn't just need to be at a individual level, this could be at a societal level.   Societies share common genes among itself, so a "self sacrifice gene" is viable.    An individual gibes up his life/chance of passing on genes other members of the society, which share unique and common genes survive.    

Same with helping people gene.    A society where members help each other are more likely to survive then thoses who do not, to a certain level.     This has the same princepals as a self sacrifice gene.

Survival of the fittest isn't just at a individual level, it operates at a familial, a societal, and a species spanning level.    At the same time, the invididual is no less important.    A person who gives everything they own to society isn't particularily feasible, if he does so with no good reason.

Pressing both triggers at once would result in something amazing

Like when you flush a toilet thats on the equator...

Ive always been puzzled by that one...Will have the water go one way and the other half go the other? Or will the water simply just go *whoosH* strait down w/o any swirling?

My 11th grade history teacher always said it just blew up in your face, hahahaha.

Had to check it out on youtube and apparently the water will go straight down without swirling.
It looks really cool
Kinda like giving Liara a kiss and a slap on the ass at the same time

I'm more interested in finding out where all the damn mods are for this game! Googling around the usual channels is finding nowt.



As for who gets jiggy with whom I respect the right of writers to not have to write characters as gay or bisexual if they choose not. However that said it strikes me as odd that they shied away from the massive hotness potential of fuzz on fuzz between the foxier female members of the crew. I mean would it really have killed them to put a pillow fight scene in there or something?



As to the whole sexuality issue, having sex with a man or a woman, regardless of your own gender, is pretty far down the squick-o-meter compared to bumping uglies with a member of an extra terrestrial species. I mean that's borderline bestiality. If anybody is going to get prudish about anything that ought to be the first stop.

Owwwwww please, are we allowing creationist v.s evolutionist bullsh*t into a Mass Effect forum now?

No, people are talking about applying social Darwinism to their lives.
Social Darwinism is applying the rules of evolution to a sapient society, which doesn't work because survival of the fittest doesn't apply to us.

*laughs* natural selection is very hard to keep down. I would call it "success and proliferation of the fittest" now, rather than survival of the fittest.

But some politicians are striving to remove it's refining influence from our society altogether...dragging us all down into mediocrity and stagnation.

Natural Selection is more or less obsolete. The only factor that ensures someone will reproduce these days is physical attractiveness. People no longer need to be strong enough to resist disease, or fast enough to escape a predator.

Mordin doesn't get to bang Miranda?  I am shocked and appalled at Bioware's incessant hate on Salarian scientists and their insistence on preventing them from getting their end away!  This is a travesty! :innocent:

Actually, the bible doesn't even acknowledge the existence of romantic love.

Romantic love doesn't even exist until six to five hundred years ago in the west, though eastern cultures have used it in literature for thousands of years.

Would you please, PLEASE stop saying idiotic things? This is like your third post in a row where you excrete complete and utter nonsense like some mentally handicapped baboon.

The history of western literature is literally littered with examples of romantic love. Medieval literature, Greek literature - and yes, the bible, too.

For proof, pop open a nearby bible and look for the Song of Songs. Or better yet, just look here:
http://www.fourmilab...of_Solomon.html

That's not to mention Egyptian love poetry, Sumerian erotic verses, etc.

um.....last time I checked egypt and sumeria weren't counted as western.    Medieval literature occurs after/around the time frame I picked (well, a bit earlier to be fair).

This is the part where I get to call you a bat****crazy retard.

Their is almost nothing romantic about the Song of songs.    It was written in the middle east, drawing heavily from sumerian influences (as opposed to the bible, which the version we have now is originally written in a more western standpoint).    It describes the affectioniate bond between God and you that parralels that of a husband and a wife.    

So you've failed in a whole lot of ways.    First  of all, it isn't coming from the west.    So its out right their.    If you wanted to ignore that, you could have just quoted the tons of romantic poetry in the east, from that area and others like asia that are romantic.   

But somehow, even ignoring that, you still failed to provide a romantic piece of poetry, instead, you cite one that is intended as an allegory between god and man.    Which I'm pretty ****ing sure isn't suppose to be a modern romanic bond.

Thats a lot of failures.

The Greeks and romans didn't have romantic love.    Their language lacked a word for love in the romantic sense, having only "like" and "lust".     At least you didn't cite greek tragedies, because the Greeks focused on plot structure, a focus on characters was considered the mark of a terrible writer, a characteristic that lasts like until the renaissance from what did come out of european literature during that time.    (very little)

Plato hates love.    Aristotle makes no comments on it.

I was hoping for a scenario like this after Shep romances someone.

Legion: "Creator Tali'Zorah, Geth have this extension we do not understand. Perhaps Creator Tali'Zorah can answer"

Garrus walks in.

Garrus: "Oh my.. what do we have here?" *with his smug mocking voice*

I think that's more than enough religion, politics, gender role, and inappropriate discussion for this topic.



End of line.
