Observe: In reguards to your first post, I don't think even one post in this entire thread but yours specifies a specific country or group of countries.
In reguards to the posts saying that we can because there are no regulations stopping us, I view that as a very self-centered thing thinking that we as a species are so far superior to that of other species that we can simply do whatever the hell we want to another planet without thinking about what'll happen to the planet in the end. If theres no life, then ya sure I could care less if we blow the thing up as long as it wouldn't effect other planets with living organisms. If there is non-intelligent life then thats a trickier subject. If we can do what we need to do on that planet (in this case live in it) without causing any side effects to the ecosystem then i don't see a reason why not to do it. However if there is intelligent life then living on the planet should be avoided at all costs. NOTE: If the human species is in a dire situation and would be practically wiped out if habitation on a planet isn't possible, and the only viable planet has life in it then yes, we should do whatever it takes to habitat it. Sorry ET, but survival of the fittest comes first. |

Omg man, we ARE dominant over certain things, so fuck, why not live with them, its not like we purposely kill our animals and lesser species here, okay well we do, for food, but still. We preserve the planet as much as possible, or at least we try to.
No animal group better stop us from colonizing another planet, or i'll seriously smack them. Animals can't tell us no, unless they're crazy animals that kill us all. Face it, its not self centered. We have a right to live too. We're NOT going to purposely destroy other planets.

(Mad props to those who know from what movie that quote came) Please, we're humans. We lord ourselves over every other species on this planet; it's only natural that we think we're awesome because we've practically taken our species out of the giving end of the food chain. If there are other planets with life forms out there that have things we want, and we have the capability to get them, go for it. If we can take over an entire planet, that pretty much shows superiority right there. Has anyone else taken this debate and applied it to imperialism here on earth? Would everyone who agrees with "our unconditional right to take what we want from other planets" condone a large nation conquering a spear-chucking African tribe just for the nearby diamond mine? Aside from the species being the same, the argument is identical. Also, it raises the discussion of whether or not you can have superiority/inferiority inside a single species. This is a topic I like to discuss... --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |
