If the purpose is hunting for food and clothing, then thats an aurgument of survial. If were seen as being put down for this, then whats the difference between us hunting them for food and animals hunting other animals for food?
The Decepticons needed the humans for survival. Is that any different?
I'm not a Decepticon sympathizer, I'm just throwing it out there.
Yes, it is. The difference is we inhabit the same planet that we hunt food on to survive. We need to eat. Thats a fact.
The decepticons destroyed their own planet due to there greed for power. They then proceed to another planet for resources to rebuild. They did not need our slave labor. They had been living on our planet in disguise for years as so did the Autobots. The Autbots found a way to co-exshist with humans that did not envolve us as slaves. There is no reason the decepticons could not do the same.
one would think that if a certain way of life (aka the decepticons greed for power and the resulting war) destroyed your home planet, that maybe you should be rethinking about your cause. Its does no good to rebuild if your doomed to just repeat your mistakes.

Of course we did! And we earned that right, too! We didn't just drop in, decide we were best and take over. We started as a bunch of monkeys and fought and clawed and earned our place as the dominate species.shamone wrote:do we meed t eat meat
Sure. But then if you want to go the whole "Eating meat is wrong" stock argument, you're going to have to apply that to every species. In which sense, Lion's are jerks. And Dolphins are thrill-killing serial rapists. (Look it up, seriously)shamone wrote:have we not been destroying our planet, look at the climate, look at the ice caps, look at the rain foresr
Ah, this old stock argument. Every time someone pulls it out, they conveniently forget how we're desperately trying to undo the damage we did, once we realized how serious it was.

Do animals need to eat meet? Like Shadow man said, would you consider Lions, Tigers and Bears (Oh My!!) jerks in the same sence?

1.- We have realised our mistakes and are working to correct them (Please go back to my point about history)
2.- we are not trying to find a sub par planet and use there population as slave labor.

ROTF had kind of a moral that nothing can stop you from fulfilling your destiny (even death). Even if you do die, it was still your destiny to do so and nothing can stop it.
And DOTM had one of "How far is too far?" It showed both humans and Cybertronians taking drastic measures to save their worlds from extinction. It was really a reflection of the two civilizations.
I really think these movies are deep to an extent.

I think the first film is very deep and has a really nice center. While it's hip to rag on the movies as far as plot goes, there's something... kind of magical about it, for lack of a better word. There's a child like innocence to the flick. It feels like ET or Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Not to mention, it's completely absurd. No one at NASA is dumb enough to consider Mars a suitable replacement for anything. It's not capable of supporting us, the planet is entirely dead. It's like replacing a dying car with an already broken-down one.

We didn't either. We earned our right to rule this planet.shamone wrote:so the cons have developed and fought to be the new dominant species. do they have the same right
No, they have their own planet.

And yet starvation is still a serious problem. Funny that. Likewise, look at the deer. We actually have to hunt and kill them each year; it's been proven that they don't know when to quit, and if we don't hunt them they'll overpopulate and end up starving themselves to death.shamone wrote:the stock argument is the factual argument.

No, it's just the one that keeps getting parroted while ignoring new facts. The cons are trying to fix Cybertron by destroying Earth.

Except there's no other usable planet that we can actually travel to. Mars is a dead rock, we've known that for years.shamone wrote:Our first steo was not to amend our behavior but find an external solution
Okay, so instead of amending out behavior regarding the treatment of our planet, we instead went looking for a solution...which, when applied, would amend our behavior regarding the treatment of our planet.
You could make a Vulcan's head explode with that kind of logic, you know that?

I have no doubts that in 200 years time we will be able to colinise on other planets. But thats not the aurgument.
The aurgument is that if this were to ocure, (Such as the mars example), we wouldn't be pushing another speices off, or enslaving them to rebuild our world. The decepticons were.

Evolution says we turn into a space-faring planet-conquering species? I don't know which evolutionary step that was. When, exactly, did we wipe out an entire species for our convenience?shamone wrote:5. you mistake the logic. The first thing we did when faced with ele event was find another planet, not change our behavior. thats my point
And whoever made that decision was an idiot, and no one listened to him. There aren't any other habitable planets in this system. The next star out? Consider this, Mars is about .5 AU away from Earth, and the trip is estimated to take several months. Proxima Centauri, the star next door, is about 268,000 AU out.

You're acting as if the planet itself is in critical condition right now. Here's an idea: Take a deep breath. Did you drop dead? If not, then the air around you is safe to breath, and will be for centuries to come. Will Global Warming happen? Most likely, but not soon. And anyone who is responsible for any sort of pollution is already working right now on correcting their mistakes.shamone wrote:4. I didnt actually say that.

Seriously, stop using older evolutionary steps as an argument.

Um...the buffalo--or more appropriately, the American Bison (Which is often wrongly referred to as the buffalo, as in that link)--isn't extinct.

The senior NASA official, I think. Because if you think replacing a dying planet with a dead one is a good idea, you're an idiot.
Okay, I'm just going to ignore shamone now. He's just posting these blatantly wrong arguments to ruffle our feathers, and it's really not worth the headache.

I should say the exact same thing to you. I didn't even bother reading the rest of your post, but my best guess is that it uses a ton of misconceptions about environmental, sociological, and biological sciences pertaining to evolution and humanity's effect on the environment.
