Let's move on.

I'm not trying to sound rude, but it's starting to get idiotic that you two (and by you two I mean Bacon and PMC) are STILL throwing shade at each other despite saying you'll stop arguing. JUST STOP IT, NOW.

Okay, dad.

Bad form to shout at everyone anyway, dude.

I know, I know, I regret shouting at all of you.

But, dad, he continued it!

I'm not in the mood for this. I've got a headache a mile long and I don't wanna get myself worked up over this again. Please, just play nice.

Here, I'll just link to the best post that completely counters PMC (who offered no counter to it, btw) and leave for a while.

I wonder if Remix auditioned to voice Gohan. Also, his Popo voice his spot on, but with the lines in this video, it's hilarious.

So that scene in Super 13 Abridged where Nail and Kami reference this... At some point, the two of them would have had to coordinate what they were saying, and convince the other what to say. Which basically means that at some point Nail convinced Kami to say a line about "green dick".

Which youtuber would you guys like to voice any , or all, of the Majin Buus? I'd pick Markiplier for Super Buu.

~sigh~ The majority of that was talking about completely unrelated arguments and the only part that was relevant was addressed when I later dropped the Nature vs Nurture angle to narrow my argument.

It's a viable strategy because of brainwashing and nearly uncontrolable giant monkey powers, both of witch can be stopped.

And as for bug aliens, if the saiyans were bug aliens with almost nothing else changed, then yes it would sttill be wrong, for someone who knows all of the details, to kill them.

I want Fat Buu to be voiced by Cr1tikal.

Me. I do.

I haven't watched many sci-fi's that have hostile, insect bug people, only thing that comes to mind is Starship Troopers and maybe Alien.

I really wouldn't, knowing what those aliens are like. Humans try to tame the Xenomorphs and it never works, they have a biological imperative to kill other species.

I mean, the Xenomorphs haven't quite been established as sentient.

There was Ender's Game (good book, shame about the author), where the ending revealed that the first war was due to a breakdown in the concept of communication, as the bug-like alien species not only didn't know Earthling language, but didn't have the same concept of individual intelligence as humans. When they realized that what they'd done was less like interacting with a group of drones, and more like killing countless queens, they fled and tried to never return. But it was too late to make amends; humans gave chase.

Well, that's certainly interesting. Poor Communication Kills, eh?

Also, most insectoid aliens I can think of are almost always under a Hive Mind and have little to no personal intelligence. Killing babies in that case wouldn't really be any different from killing an adult.

Off the top of my head, I can only think of one insectoid alien species that weren't under a Hive Mind and they were ridiculously cool (the Luminoth from Metroid Prime 2).

Touche.

Dang, I actually read that in high school, but it didn't come to mind. Yeah, right at the end, Ender finds one of the infant 'Buggers' and from what I've heard, ends up taking care of it in the sequels.

But that was a series of poor communications. The bug aliens fought back at every turn. Attacking their homeworld was an understandable precaution.

Plus, when you encounter baby bug aliens, they're often of the 'ravenous swarm currently trying to eat you' variety. The comes a point where one worries more about self-defence.

Don't forget both the American Godzilla movies. First one is more reptilian than insectoid but the second fits perfectly.

They aren't sapient, though, which is the point. No one was defending killing a dangerous baby animals that will grow up to kill you.

That grows up to kill you without exception.

You talking smack about the savior of the earth?

No, Godzilla's a cool dude. It's the MUTOs that are destroyed as eggs before they can become monstrosities like their old folks.
