Topic: Starship Troopers: Warning?

Amazing how many people miss the point of Starship Troopers; Warning.
Well, that is what I think.

Let us pretend for one moment that we are not all well-balanced, honest, brave, intelligent, and capable of learning from our mistakes. Let us pretend that we are capable of being too arrogant, too prideful, to obsessed with saving face to admit our mistakes, and then deal with them logically and honestly.
Done that? Good. Now: Is it a perfectly possible future?

USA + EU + Allies = Federal Hyperpower

Want to earn the right to vote? Do the Fedral Government's bidding and die in some ridiculous war it started for small gains.

Remember citizens, privacy is a crime!

Nah, not really, I knew about it... I was wondering whose cage I would be first to rattle.  I was sure Skoe would beat you to the punch.  smile

Now lest us pretend that we have enough common sense to know [that] I am not talking about our invading someone elses territory, looking surprised when we are not welcomed, and then proceeding to "defend" democracy.

Re: Starship Troopers: Warning?

[F] you, Morbo the Annihilator! I have dreams of 'flying' millions of light years to fight giant cockroaches in my lifetime! I just played a game where you mow down zombees (sorry it's a term of endearment, I've come to love blasting them) with rifles, chainguns, rockets, other rockets, other rockets (expectly my favorite, all 3 types), sniper rifles, and, recently, even two types of lasers! Oh, and flamethrowers. But that's obvious, as well as fun. I'd like to keep thinking that advancements in space travel will occur in the next decade or two and I won't be too old to serve my country [Edit: PLANET! HA!] in the fight against giant cockroaches. Not exactly possible my ass. It's gonna happen! Just you wait!

[I wish I could obey forum rules]

I don't understand where invading someone else's territory comes into anything.

In the movie, IIRC, the "bugs" were the aggressors. They smashed some city in Africa with an
asteroid.

Hmmm...maybe i should watch the movie again... If not to see Denise Richards get felt up big_smile.

The original novel by Robert A. Heinlein was so much better in every way. Paul Verhoeven should have quit after directing Basic Instinct.

The cartoon was pretty good, but can't say I'm sad that I haven't watched any of the sequels.

I'm going to be nicer promise

Google sarcasm. The re-read my posts.

Wrong!
[WE invaded THEIR territory first, we refused to leave when we realised this, we got raped with tenacles, and all because WE deserve more living space than THEM]







Seriously, re-read my posts.
