Considering the sillyness of the anti-starship plasma bug, I LOL at you thinking they can't breed a FTL capable bug big enough to push a asteroid. Is it nuts? Sure, but it fits in well with the rest of the movie. Heck, there's telepathy in that universe, so there might be telekenetic bugs.

Dude. They are the giant bug ship.

And how did the humans work out FTL, and artifical gravity? Meh. It's a movie, don't gotta explain shit.

While it was more aimed at Edgeworthy, I'll bite. Yes.

The whole "equal share of a nations wealth" usually leads to welfare, the rich giving to the poor. "Balancing the scales", and all that shit. It doesn't really help, the reason why somebody's poor or rich isn't so easily fixed. State ownership of stuff, I haven't seen that as a part of...

First, I could use a good bridge. I'll put tolls on it. Anybody know where I can hire a troll? Second, what's your definition of Socialism?

I was told that Socialism was wealth re-desribution, without choice or real recompense. Under that description, welfare is Socialism but most of the stuff you guys are talking about isn't. Oh, and Stone age tribes are mostly slaves of the chief and the shaman. Freedom? The freedom to starve.

That, I'll agree with. I disagree that this is proof of anything other than needing to risk to win. War can be like that. That's more mixed. I know that just giving a trooper morphene and letting them die has happened, and that was legal. It's pretty much the same thing. You're mixing...

When does that happen? Ok, a death happened in training, acidental, but that happens in all dangerous training. What fascism? There isn't even close to enough details to say that. Were they willing to beat their women? Were they willing to exclude anybody who isn't a mormon? Honestly, we...

I don't get that. And I watched the movie a few days ago. Where does that come from?

Well, it took a while, but you guys are working on that, right now!

Uh. Huh. Now you're just trolling.

No, the Roughnecks say they fought in Klendathu, the Outer rings and Zegema Beach. All three, and there's no mention of any other war. They fought on Zegema Beach. Human paradise world. And lost it to the bugs.

From the movie? The mere fact there was accurate ground fire with unguided plasma fire that hit, and destroyed warships in orbit, tells us the bugs have a reason to need anti-starship weapons, experience with that sort of senario (you never get a working mass production unit, first time), and...

How long would it take to calculate all the details of the trajecory, and fire said missiles? How about flight time? We're not even close. No IRL rocketry could hit such a target without being seen minutes or hours earlier, and being dodged. All of this not noticing they can biologicaly create...

It's been a while since I saw the film. But, I do remember the bugs having anti-starcraft plasma bugs, that could target, and destroy, warships at ranges we couldn't even come close to today. Saying the bugs are hopeless primatives that the Feds beat up on doesn't make any sense. The sheer...
