Who would be the worst enemy?


  • Total voters

i am surprised that more people are answering that it is us that is the major threat. i put that option there cause i knew that if i didnt then i would have heard about it either way.

what i am saying is that in our society we have to reassure ourselves all the time that we humans are the biggest threat to ourselves. its like its a lil drug that we are addicted to.
It is not a matter of re-assuring ourselves about whom is the biggest threat, but rather it is about acknowledging & accepting the fact.

If aliens were to land in the middle of the White House Rose Garden, I'd be less concerned about them then I would be of the human who decides that the only way to save humanity would be by destroying it.


PS: Nice avatar. :D
 
I agree with that not surprisingly.

not to turn this into a political thread but...if you think Gov Palin is unwilling to compromise, what think you of Nancy Pelosi, who essentially told the Pope to take a hike?

My hero!

Anywho, we are our own worst enemy... Greed, greed and oh yeah greed...
 
i chose 'other', specifically i meant the Thrintun, or Slavers, of larry Niven's Known Space stories.
The Thrintun lived on a homeworld where everything was just a little telepathic, hence they evolved a sort of hypnotic command ability.
of course to any species from a world with almost no psychics, the slaver power is omnipotent. In Niven's book 'World of Ptavvs' just one Thrint gets loose on earth and is pretty soon almost running things. with an 'amplifier helmet' a thrint can keep a whole world obeying its mental commands.
Im talking about the ability to kill by simply commanding it. To make you wait on them hand and feet and die for them and like it too. Thier major weakpoint is that the thrint are by and large not very intelligent, and tend to leave technology and labor to their slave races. One such race, the tnuctipun, brought on their downfall by bioengineering giant creatures called bandersnatch that were immune to the slaver power. The thrintun civilization died of a billion years ago in Nivens unverse, but throughout the galaxy their are a few in stasis from this era, and in a few of Niven's stories they escape and cause hell.
 
you know i just had to get the movies 2001 and 2010 again and watch them and i didnt think that maybe the worst enemy would be the obelisk from the movie. whats more scary that something we can figure out and have no idea what is going to happen next.
 
Those monoliths, or the intelligence behind them, were so advanced that they could swat us like flies, but did anyone read the novel '3001' ?

I didn't get the ending at all....
