*dogscoff uses his stellar manip components to trigger a black hole event in the middle of the thread. Those people actually reading the thread for the on-topic stuff are prepared for the burst of Gamma radiation and manage to shield themselves in time. Everyone else is too busy discussing politics to notice and gets fried instantly. Sorry guys.

One thing about this whole black hole sterilisation theory is that it assumes that alien life-forms are as (un)resistant to radiation as humans. There could be life forms out there that would are highly resistant to this stuff and would therefore survive.

Isn't the center of our galaxy some super mega black hole? I seem to recall a show on the Discovery channel that talked about this. They figure that in about a billion years we are bantha poodo.

Interesting how you read what you wanted to hear out of Puke's post, and not what he actually posted JurijD. Though, I suppose that was to be expected.

no, you are still not paying attention. i'm not appologizing for anything. im admitting that we're on top, and behaving badly. theres no excuses here.

im telling you that you are downright stupid (i said silly before, but you keep dragging it out) for glorifying yourself, vilifying those whom you think are your enemy, and ignoring historical realities in favor of your own rose-colored worldview.

people are animals. wake the hell up, and stop crying about it to me.

you want to argue politics, do it with someone else. if you haven't noticed, im not disagreeing with anything besides your propoganda about one group of people (which has never been one unified group) being a peace loving, brotherly, pillar of civility.

So go ahead, continue your political discussion as if I hadnt interupted. Just dont complain when I poke my head in and make fun of you, when you are ignoring everything we know about history from written accounts, verbal traditions, and archeological evidence. Dont worry, I'll make fun of the Americans, too.

definitly an arugement FOR galactic sterilization. crimeny, i hope it happens sooner than later. preferably after a good night on the town, and before the hangover.

Or the murderer:"Don't blame me for killing them, It's in my NATURE, its in my blood... I couln't help it"
okay, maybe i was saying that. but i stand by it. people are killers, its what we do. im not telling you our way is the right way, or that we are so great, or that people love us, or that we're helping anyone, or even that most people in our country like what we are doing. thats why i try not to get into these things. Our empire will probably be over in a few hundred years. I doubt we have anywhere to go but down. Thats the way history is. There will be someone else after us, and someone else after them.

You cant just choose not to participate, and have your peaceful society on the sidelines - those are the people whom are crushed and exploited by whomever is in power at the time. The Incas would have been happy to have not participated, so would have the Japanese in the 1500s. So would have China. So would have the tribsemen in the Congo, and the Inuit, and the Maori. But 'opting-out' isnt a valid option, its eat or be eaten. Thanks to modern society, we have stopped evolving biologically - but cultural evolution continues. Yeah, lots of people would like to live in peace - but unless there really is a divine hand in the universe, they're not going to get to.

oh yeah, lets see how clever you think that is, when the space ship of Giant Mutant Radioactive Cockroaches actually LANDS. good thing we had 50s 'B' movies to prepair us for the day...
