Thats why whoever is participating is participating. They want to, they weren't forced to... so why do you all have a problem with it?

For me, it's because a Machine liaison and some of these very Machine captains approached us to speak about peace.  ...and then they make a move to assist Cypherites in laying a trap to kill or capture our former Commander.

I will do what I must to assure the safety of Jason Lock.  However, I fear what will become of the future and our peacetalks because of this...

You really have to wonder if the Machinists are fighting this "war" for themselves, or because the Machines told them to.

I've said it before. If the Architect had never made his declaration that the truce was at an end, would you still have the same people that seem so bloodthirsty now? Somehow, I don't think so. If you don't think so either, then ask yourself why that is?

Unfortunately the Architect did make that declaration, though and we have to deal with that in whatever way we choose to do so. We can't deal in if's or but's.

I think it's fair to say there's been no backing down from either side and a fair share of "bloodthirsty-ness" on both sides since the truce was ended. Both have many members who are not in favour of the war, but are not prepared to climb down. That was the problem in the past too, however, with there being such a high risk in stepping back it's not one either side is likely to make anytime soon. Which brings us back to the merry-go-round of debating things here.

Isn't it funny how people like Merrit can see all that he said in his opposition but he can't see it in his own people. Yas is quite right, both sides are guilty of this, strange how we're the ones who can see this though. Zion and EPN are too busy pointing fingers to see that they forget all about their own doings...

Why is it that every Pod-Hugger runs for the Code Bomb crutch when their motives are questioned? If you're that upset about the force-freed who actually survived the process, go find 'em, tuck 'em back into bed, then reinsert yourselves back in. It's a fairly simple solution.

No no no.. you DID want to be awakened. It was your choice, you took the red pill. They didn't shove it down your throat. Think of Cypher's case. He chose his path. But once he realized the truth, he saw things he didn't like. He wanted to return to a life without the fears of war, even if it meant slavery. He wanted to be able to taste the steak, and believe it was real, and just enjoy it while he could.

Speakin' of Cypher... correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he just reinsertin' himself back in? I'm almost positive that he could care less about anyone else goin' back.

Seems like the entire Cypherite org is based on misfortune, misinformation, and the misled.

Here's a little poem i wrote to stop the mindless warfare that incurrs when the Geek Disease approaches.

Twas' GamiSB who posted one day,
To try and find the results he may,
For self egotists and self bigomists,
The ones who use fingers for war instead of peace and bliss.

Just remember to have fun!

EDIT: was to stop my atrocious spelling.
