Three topics I wanted to talk about… or maybe just express my asinine opinions on. 
Unethical Military Weaponry
Now there’s an oxymoron: unethical weapons. Seriously. Since when is an instrument of death and destruction ethical? Gotta love human rational. Anyways, that’s not the topic of my rant. Rather, it’s about people who think being ethical about weapons is going to stop the inevitable unethical research and development about them. For example: weapons in space, genetically engineered soldiers, and physical enhancement drugs. All of this is either happening now, or it’s going to happen. The militaries who refuse (or are unable) to adapt or improve in “unethical” fields will quickly find themselves defeated by tactically and strategically superior weapon systems. So all those scientists who keep pleading for their nations to not develop… lets say, orbital artillery and weapons that can attack into space: what the hell do you think will happen when a nation who has developed orbital artillery - and the means to defend it - will drop a titanium telephone pole on your capital city and transform it into a crater? I suppose the answer would be, “nuke the SOB’s.”
But wait, that’s unethical!
Peaceful Aliens
You mean to tell me, that just because an alien race has the means to travel the cosmos, they won’t have any inclination to destroy other civilizations? What a load of crock. First off, if these “aliens” are so “alien” to us (i.e. in mindset, physiology, intentions, etc) – it’s pretty retarded to assume they’ll be peaceful in our definition of the word. Peaceful to ET might mean obliterating other species without them knowing it. Or perhaps being cosmic nihilists who think its their universal duty to put everything out their misery and destroy creation one star system at a time. Sure: there’s a chance Visitors will be friendly - but don’t ignore the possibilities that destructive Invaders are out there. Advanced civilization doesn¬Åft equate to peaceful intentions. It just means you have bigger and better “toys.”
First one to get to the other guy’s planet wins. Winner gets to decide how the spoils will be divided, and history be written.
Peaceful Coexistence with Earth
Gather round children, and let Uncle Narg tell you a story. It’s a story about creatures we call Dinosaurs. Now these Dino, lived peacefully with the Earth. They didn’t build ugly cities or exploit resources or destroy the ecosystem. No. These Dino lived millions of years, evolving without harming the world. So one day, Mother Earth repays their benevolent existence, with a giant space rock. BOOM! Dino died everywhere. The end.
Last time I checked, there have been dozens of mass extinctions throughout the Earth existence. The Earth, isn’t a peaceful world. Not to say I recommend turning the entire planet into a concrete parking lot, but “peaceful coexistence” with the planet, isn’t going to happen. Sooner or later, the slate gets wiped clean. Get this: the Earth NATURALLY eradicates the ecosystem. Wow. Who new? Sucks to be the lifeforms, eh? Oh wait! That’s us! Even if you ignore all that, in about 5 billions years, the Sun will clearly take care of everything. Permanently.
We need the Earth, but the Earth doesn’t need us. So what we need to do, is get to a point where we don’t need the Earth: not huddle around trees and throw our hard earned science and technology into forgotten. There’s a lot of space rocks out there boys and girls… and Mother Earth is always steering into them. She sure loves us, eh?
