Only animal able to be capable of great good? Seeing as humans are also the animal capable of the most evil I would say that's only balancing itself out.

Majority (not all) of humanity's "good" deeds are developed for survival for themselves or greed.


Or to counter evil deeds.

I don't have too much faith in the human race as a whole anymore. <_<

I'm a cynic can't help it.

Why not? We've done great things. It's true that humans are capable of great evil, but we're also capable of great good as well. The only animal able to, in fact.


:huh:

Only if you think you are responsible for the actions of others, which you shouldn't be.

Every organism is selfish. Thankfully, humans are able to steer the farthest away from that.

Which 9/10 are for survival, to make themselves look better than the other. I'm not saying that humans don't do good, self-sacrificing deeds but its no where near as common as the reverse is.

That's proooobably a common opinion.

There's nothing wrong with acting out of need for survival. This is what animals do all the time yet they don't get flak for it. It would be selfish to expect people to act selflessly all the time, IMO.

Thus the balancing act. We're talking about humanity as a whole. I never said there weren't people who were self sacrificing for others. There are. But most aren't. That's just the truth.

Every organism is selfish. Thankfully, humans are able to steer the farthest away from that.


Mostly because we are on a higher level of intelligence compared to those other beings. We have no other species to truely compare ourselves too.

What
you're saying its not true? (The stat is made
up true but the amount of self-sacrificing people are vastly
outnumbered by those who aren't.)

Much appreciated Blackveldt. Is that the same article from a few years(2006 I believe it was) ago or is it more recent?

I know this is off topic but i have to say it, "The true saint is the one hates being saintly but still does it anyway"

Animals also don't expect to be found saintly for helping their kin or better than humans for doing so. Just sayin. :bandit:

I'm not expecting people to act selflessly all the time. Though I wish people would stop acting like doing so makes them "OMG so special!"

You sure about that? I'd wager that most people are pretty decent. It's only those in power who ruin it for everyone else. Of course there are criminals, but these are few and far between as far as the general populace goes.

Let's not begin posting what the thread thinks is attractive in men.


Aw. :crying: You stealth my funz.

Anyways. MShep x Kaidan could be handled really well in ME3.

It's not going to happen, thankfully. Wasting resources there to make a new romance just for players who 
a) Had Kaidan survive.
B) Are male.
c) Are into it.

By default, male Shepards virmired Kaidan. So you can't have your gay friend only play ME3 for gay kaidan love.

I thought Hendel already had a boyfriend. Just make new characters that are gay or bisexual, best route. Joker could be bisexual. Not gay, unless he is a gay man taking scholarly interest in hardcore asari porn.


Meh Hendel's boyfriend could always meet with an....unfortunate accident. :whistle:
 
But yeah Kaidan's not likely. :crying:

Joker...actually Joker would make a lot of sense. And if he's made into a LI for FemSheps would take a lot less work than Kaidan. 

Hm...I did read a good MShep x Joker fic with Joker having feelings for MShep but not acting on them until the final game time period. It was really good actually.

But yeah any male same sex LI would be Bi. I doubt they'd ever be just gay.

Though Joker x Shep (both genders) has a lot of potential.

Heck he's the last of Shep's main companions not to be romanceable!



Hendel is single and living on a quarian ship, i don't really think he has a boyfriend :P

That was interesting, but not surprising. Reading what you provided, tends to narrow the possibility of s/s romance in ME3 in reality IMO.

Most people are more of the apthetic side so far as I've seen. Hell I've seen people with stab wounds being walked over with no one bothering to call the amublance in a crowded street. Laughter while a little kid is beaten up by a group of grown men. Some girl screaming for help with just whispers as she's dragged away by an older man with no one saying a word.

They didn't cause the pain but they sure in hell didn't try to stop or alleviate it. <_<

So excuse me if my experiences left me doubtful of the human race.

Yes I'm aware that their are people who will risk life and limb for others. But those people are rare. (I wish I could count most police amoung them but so many of the cops I've met have been dirty, corrupt bastards that need to be kicked in the face).

I am still confused as to why the majority of the community sees homosexuals as lacking the ability to reproduce. I don't think it has ever been set in stone that any person must bear children with his or her lover (or whatever you want to call it). Creating offspring involves a fertile man's sperm and a fertile woman's egg, not a fertile heterosexual man's sperm and a fertile heterosexual woman's egg. Just because it has always been tradition that people in a relationship reproduce together, does not limit reproduction to that situation.

Oh, no. It's true on at least some level. I'm just saying that most people with half a brain can recognize it without being told. I think it's pretty obvious that evil outweighs good. Or maybe power outweighs lack of power, and evil people have all the power. Or maybe power corrupts, so in essence, power is evil. Or maybe power is just money, and money is the root of all evil. But who created the concept of currency? Humans. Therefore, humans are inherently evil, because we planted the root of all evil. Unless evil aliens landed on Earth and gave primitive humans the concept of currency inplace of barter, in which case we're simply foolish victims. Nah, we're evil. Humans are definitely evil.

The fact that homosexual men are well, homosexual. Not attracted to females. And probably would not have sex with females if they can get help it. Although I share some of your sentiment.

Raping and pillaging still takes place in modern society. Just in more subtle forms. =P

The only thing in my experience is that the raping and pillaging now goes behind closed doors and no one says a word. <_<

Anyways more pleasnant and on topic topics: Woo's words made me think that maybe there won't be s/s in Mass Effect but in future games? 

Most likely DA2 if there's no m/m in da2 I will cry like a newborn baby. :(

And no assassin sleazy elves next time please BioWare? :innocent: A sexy templar would be nice.

I think people are either corrupt or not.  I don't think power or money corrupts them.  They may not have appeared corrupt before they had money or power, but gave in to themselves so to speak once they have the money/power.

I think it has more to do with the natural biological order then anything else.

I don't think humans are evil per sa as much as mostly apathetic and selfish. It gives the illusion of evil with out any actual malevolent intent.

And the apathy and selfishness increase as power and wealth increase until it either becomes selfishness to the suffering of those around you.
