That was interesting, but not surprising. Reading what you provided, tends to narrow the possibility of s/s romance in ME3 in reality IMO.
The summary black gave was indeed interesting
The entire article is pretty interesting, but it's also pretty lengthy as it covers a lot of points and material. I don't necessarily seeing Bioware having s/s romance in ME3, but have not ruled the possibility. Anyway, it just goes to show that there are a lot of things Bioware has to actually consider. But, as the article (and other citations) have stated, the individual can bring about change, so a topic like this is encouraging.

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.
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.
One thing to watch out for: causation fallacy (correlation does not imply causation). But now we're getting into a more philosophical debate than anything. Mimaiselphenai states that "humans are inherently evil," which is based on the theory of Original Sin--we are all born with sin; it is a theological (Christian) outlook.
Of course, there's also
Tabula Rasa, which literally means "blank slate" in Latin. It states that all humans are born 'blank' and that we are shaped through our surroundings, experiences, etc.
This has obviously been a long-time debate: mankind's nature. Look up John Locke (men born good) and Thomas Hobbes (men born evil).
It's important to note the multitude of variables to consider as well as the technologies that have evolved in the last century alone (I mention this specifically in regards to child psychology and cognitive development; the frontal lobe and amygdala are of particular relevance imo).
Btw, how the heck do we keep getting off-topic?
