  1. If my kid is threatened by an alien and it states it will kill my kid if I don't follow this alien, I would say "Eat bullets." and give the alien more holes they could count.

    1. @doates I'd say 99% of any futuristic life forms out there won't be harmed by our (to them) historic weapons.

      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:32:03 UTC from web
      1. @mrdragon I say they will, Because they're be so worried about lazor beams they'll forget about bullets.

        1. @foxgopher A civilisation that can travel through light speed or even faster as well as the fact they'd be able to find and home in on other life forms of intelligence as well as create technological wonders that make us look like pre school kids with paint on our hands? I honestly don't think so. But that's why I left a 1%, someone out there may be stupid. But I think that's only our race.

          1. @mrdragon They'll get killed by our germs. It happened once.

            1. @foxgopher 'in a movie'

              Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:36:46 UTC from web
              1. @mrdragon IT WAS A BOOK

                Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:37:28 UTC from web
                1. @foxgopher AND a movie, two actually. An original and a remake. In fact I think there's been a few more about that kind of thing.

                  Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:38:20 UTC from web
                  1. @mrdragon It was also a radio broadcast. Anyway. If the movies are any indication, we'll win, because of our fighting spirit.

                    1. @foxgopher Each race has to come to terms that their time will come to cease eventually.

                    2. @foxgopher Or we'll get our butts whopped

                      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:40:53 UTC from web
                      1. @doates This is clearly the most viable scenario.

                        Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:41:21 UTC from web
                2. @foxgopher AND subject to an Asylum adaption. H.G. Wells is spitting in his grave.

                  Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:39:27 UTC from web
                  1. @doates ROLLYROLLYROLLY

                    Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:40:10 UTC from web
              2. @mrdragon But that is likely. Immune systems could be different due to the aliens homeworld. Now, If we are dealing with a xenomorph-like creature then that doesn't matter. In that case Guns help.

                1. @doates Nuclear weapons usually do the trick. Collateral damage may be a *****, but not a lot can withstand that.

                  Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:40:32 UTC from web
                  1. @eaglehooves You never saw the episode of Star Trek where the primitive Nazi culture tries to nuke the enterprise and they basically just power up the shields and flip them off, I guess.

                    Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:41:17 UTC from web
                    1. @ceruleanspark No... I guess most movies where that works they sneak it inside the shield first.

                      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:42:19 UTC from web
                      1. @eaglehooves Though, there's Dune, where atomic weapons are still in the "WMD" tier despite ready access to laser weapons and shielding.

                        Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:43:19 UTC from web
                        1. @ceruleanspark Whatever gives me an excuse to say "Nuke it from orbit"

                          Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:44:52 UTC from web
                          1. @eaglehooves Why bother nuking it from orbit? Propelling any massive object down from orbit at speed will cause a phenomenal amount of damage without any lingering radioactives.

                            Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:45:58 UTC from web
                            1. @ceruleanspark Realistically, that's what I'd use. The line is "Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure," though.

                              Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:48:21 UTC from web
                          2. @eaglehooves The best use for nuclear weapons in orbit is to detonate them there to create an EMP before you deploy your own troops.

                            Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:47:14 UTC from web
                    2. @ceruleanspark Is it that one where a Federation diplomat went cuckoo and introduced nazism to this planet that is at war?

                      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:43:32 UTC from web
                      1. @doates That's the one, yeah.

                        Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:43:54 UTC from web
                        1. @ceruleanspark I prefer the gangster episode.

                          Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:46:52 UTC from web
                  2. @eaglehooves Nukes can't solve everything. Just look at Godzilla.

                    Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:42:03 UTC from web
                    1. @doates They do in Fallout! Irradiated super-mutants and ghouls? Fat man cleans those up nicely.

                      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:43:29 UTC from web
                      1. @eaglehooves nukes have the major set back, but if you don't care about the collateral damage, then use the h-bomb. Or even the Tsar Bomb.

                        Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:46:03 UTC from web
                        1. @doates Personally I like the MAC cannon from Halo, but no one seemed concerned with logic or collateral, just getting rid of aliens with what we've got now.

                          Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:49:30 UTC from web
                          1. @eaglehooves The C in "MAC" stands for Cannon.

                            Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:50:02 UTC from web
                            1. @ceruleanspark Redundant video game dialogue is redundant.

                              Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:50:54 UTC from web
                              1. @eaglehooves It's probably on account of it sounding weird /without/ the redundancy.

                                Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:51:42 UTC from web
                            2. @ceruleanspark Mass Accelerator Cannon I believe

                              Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:51:00 UTC from web
                          2. @eaglehooves of caurce nothing is as powerful as the friendship canon.

                            Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:52:28 UTC from web
                            1. @doates Or hydro-cannon

                              Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:54:32 UTC from web
          2. @mrdragon well - ou can kill a human with ancient weapons...

            Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:38:44 UTC from web
      2. @mrdragon Or they could have gotten to the point where they didn't include that kind of armor, because "who still uses those primitive kinetic weapons?"

        Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:34:57 UTC from web
      3. @mrdragon Then I'll just do a random dance and confuse them.

        Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:35:44 UTC from web
    2. @comradeconventrix If you only have heap rum,you can't drink that fast.

      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:41:18 UTC from web
    3. @comradeconventrix Buck you communist. I won't lose to you...

      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:44:57 UTC from web
    4. @comradeconventrix russians made it. I believe it is the bomb with the highest amount of megatons.

      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:48:59 UTC from web
      1. @doates The Tsar Bomba, you mean? That thing had an insane amount of power in megatons.

        Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:51:09 UTC from web
        1. @alptraummond Makes it worse that the russians made it during the Cold War.

          Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:54:06 UTC from web
      2. @doates I knew I heard of that before. http://www.cracked.com/article_19546_7-nuclear-weapon-screw-ups-you-wont-believe-we-survived.html

    5. @comradeconventrix You clearly are more drunk as I am. In fact, I think I make less typos in this state :3

      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:50:33 UTC from web
    6. @comradeconventrix U drunk?

      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:51:27 UTC from web
    7. @comradeconventrix I never saw someone drunk on RDN before.

      Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:53:32 UTC from web
      1. @doates now you do - even two of them

        Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:56:36 UTC from web
        1. @hakupony you sound more buzzed to me than drunk.

          Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:58:00 UTC from web
          1. @doates Sorry, wht exactly is the difference? (language barriers... I need to live in an english seaking country to get better at the internet)

            Monday, 02-Jul-12 23:59:33 UTC from web
            1. @hakupony Buzzed is before you get drunk. Buzzed, you usually just get wuzzy/dizzy.

              Tuesday, 03-Jul-12 00:01:00 UTC from web
              1. @doates At least it is noticable, I'm not sober. and thanks for the explaination.
