Is it cuz that the quote points out the painfully obvious? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2111 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 |
No, its because it implies that all humans are 99.99% alike, not that 99.99% of all humans are alike. |

Fixed. Might well have been in Oblivion, I wouldn't know, but if it is, it's an homage to LoZ2 |

I came up with five reasons off the top of my head including how it's logically wrong, how it's wrong in a literary sense, and how it's wrong in a moral sense, but I'll go with the most scientific. DNA isn't the only thing that controls how people grow; there's diet, stress, enviornment, and these things around DNA that activate how and when they're used (I can't remember what they're called off the top of my head). Let me compare this; saing that people are the same because of their DNA is like saying Halo 3, Half Life 2, and Meteroid Prime 3 are all the same because they're all FPS's. Only someone who has no idea what they're talking about would say that. Apologies for being so smart. Out of curiosity, what were you thinking? |

Vault Legend  Posts: 2202 Joined: 30 Jul 2008    | Hrm... "Sometimes, the swirling Force is just a swirling Force. But it gets us old Jedi excited so that we go 'Oooo, destiny!'" "Dear Humanity: "Life isn't always like it seems, sometimes even the old and wise do little more than stand around flapping their beards. Action doesn't always mean progress, sometimes it means recession. Movement, though, isn't something you simply give up. The only way you're sure to regress is to not move. Get up and go, because the only time you are sure to regret is when you don't even try." "It's too bad that the state of forums is such that people trying to have a genuine discussion of opinions on the Internet have to go to such great pains to ensure that no offense is intended." "Greed is a nice, sterile motivation. If the money's right, you don't need to know someone to take advantage of them. You don't have to hate them, or love them, or be related to them. You don't even have to know who they are. You just have to want money more than you want them to keep on breathing, and if history is any indicator, that isn't a terribly uncommon frame of mind." That's it for now, I'll probably have more later. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 75 Joined: 13 Aug 2008    | When life gives you lemons clone them and create an army of super lemons. I hate what you have to say but I will defend your right to kill me for it. All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. |
