None of the UN bans have stopped human on human killing. Humans still war without hesitation.

I’m struggling with your distinction. You support the ban because it would prevent the development of robots with non-human IFF capabilities coupled with autonomous execution capabilities? Because the robot could go wonky and harm innocents?

My counter argument was never rebutted: The proposed ban would unethically disadvantage robots abilities for self defense and self determination. Why not ban ALL arms races?

I always thought the rise of the Emperor should have been about the conflict between Order and Chaos. The Republic should have been a chaotic, lawless mess in the mind of Anakin Vader, that allowed all types of vice to flourish including SLAVERY. Along comes a wise old man with magical powers, offering a way to end…

Dammit now that’s all I see.

God I love being American.

You didn’t like the people.

Wouldn’t it be more rational to advocate a ban of ALL weapons or arms races? Why are weapons in the hands of autonomous beings beyond meaningful human control worse than being in the hands of humans?

I’m starting to think the show will end with the Espheni victorious and Tom losing his family and everyone he loves. Pope will stand over Tom in a last stand bunker laughing maniacally. Tom will be shouting “Noooooo!!!”

One scene restored a little faith in the series for me. The new aliens told Tom that without a final blow to the Espheni everything would be lost. The Espheni would just return in a year and reconquer Earth. Yes, it took an alien impersonating his dead wife to get the message to Tom, but at least someone pointed out…

So...you blame society and not the sick, twisted, depraved baby murderer. Um, ok!

Murder is justified to avoid shame?

If I was the FBI agent on this case, I’d be telling every employee of the Department of Safety that they face long federal prison time for accessory to murder unless they start talking. Someone’s going to snitch and the truth will come out. An officer like this might have friends willing to help with the cover up, but…

Has anyone else considered how screwed a real alien race will be if they finally show up? Humans be like, “Sorry, you just look too much like Jar Jar Binks to take seriously.” Double screwed if they end up looking funny.

What does the Green stone do?

If the table is a hyperbola that curves downward with the lowest point being the center of the table, the first player will always win as the cigar slides down into the center. The second player would be unable to place a cigar without it sliding down and touching the first.

What are the odds of us finding an exact copy of our solar system in an infinitely sized universe?

In Defense of Falling Skies, Part ???

And this lady is the final authority on transracial people...why exactly? Oh, she re-affirms the author’s cis raced bigotry towards Dolezal. Nothing like smearing a civil rights leader and using racist terms like “whitey” to show your bona fides.
