Do you think this might lead to the eventual criminalization of animal slaughter? I wonder if/hope it might.

Imagine, technology could enable guilt-free cannibalism.

If that happens we'll use the same technology that allows terrorists to create those things to fight them (the diseases). Technology is a double edged sword. I've known that from day one. It'll take more than that to kill this boy's optimism.

I know exactly what you said. I quoted it in my post.

I don't think it's in our best interest to eliminate disease. Eliminating suffering is more humane, and to what degree can you allievate one without the other, I don't know, but I know that I'm not on the side of disregarding our own mortality.

That was the point. I know it probably isn't intelligent. I'm not that lucky. The article just confirmed my assumption.

My first thought: It can't be alien contact. I'm not lucky enough to be alive for that.

IIRC its more of a fuck the Parliament Day.

Wall-E has a generation ship as a fall back plan. If the reconstruction doesn't take they can just use that the way they did for the last 700 years.

Its super van city and it ruled. There was a toy I got serious mileage out of. I was having gundam battles with my little sister with that at 15.

I got so much mileage out of those freaking fences.

Tying a dead body to your truck and shooting people in the back for their shoes is psychotic behavior.

I think of it the other way. I'd like to think I wouldn't murder a little girl for the benefit of the species but when I think about how desperate I'd be to end the horror of a post apocalyptic world I don't know what I'd do.

Yep. Good people like Ellie....

me too!

In the universe presented to us, it's more than just 'some'

The fact that atrocities occur in an area should not be used as an excuse to condemn everyone in it to death. Imagine a nuke was going to hit Flint, Michigan (one of the most violent cities in America) would you be okay sentencing 500,000 men, women, and children to death just because they live in a craphole?

Yes.

If Kaiju organs really cure OCD I'll take one down bare handed.
