Capitalistic nature? I didn't known that capitalism was part of our genes. I think we were merely brainwashed into it by society.

And by the way there's this strange place called Europe. Maybe you heard of it. In many of its countries they are acutally practising a cult called "social market economy". Market driven economies and capitalism exclude social responsibility only if you are an asshole, as a matter of fact.

Yes sure and let's just forget about the fact that we have no idea what really to do with all the nuclear waste. We'll just tuck it away underground for 10.000 years? Well how well have we been doing conserving any critical information for just a tenth of that time, say, 1000 years? How much of the buildings and information from 1011 is still in a good shape? Nuclear fission has no future.

Comment We don't need Military Games for killing civilians (Score 0) 431

Thank god that we don't need military games for killing civilians! I recall that Carmageddon's sole target was to run over pedestrians with your car.

That was an awful lot of fun! And believe it or not, I'm driving accident-free since 22 years.

By the way: In the UK the pedestrians got green blood, so they could be considered non-humans and everything was fine again. Good to know that killing innocent life is only bad if it's normal people.
