Question of the Day, May 24, 2010



A recent survey asked kids what they liked better: Earth or videogames. Forget about the impossibility of such a statement for a second (can't play videogames without an Earth), and make a choice.

As much as I like videogames, I love Terra more. So much beauty to behold.
Also, without Terra, there would be no Terrans, and no videogames. But more importantly, no Terrans.
We can't deprive the universe of Terrans. That would be unfair.

I don't really care, as long as I have a place to play my video games.

 

[reg42]

Earth, because, you know, it's what we live on.

 

[Daveman]

So what... imagination vs reality? Imagination... actually screw that reality is always weirder. I WANT TO CHANGE MY VOTE.

 

[Tartarga]

I prefer video games. I don't know why, I just do. When I look at the natural beauty of this planet all I feel is meh.

 

[evilninja60]

vid games cause i don't really care about the earth and i plan on destroying it in a couple of years muhahahaha

 

[LadyCatra]

I said Earth, of course. But, then wondered if I was just saying that because it was the "right" thing to do. Hmmmmm. What an odd question.

I like your spin on this!

I voted videogames because my general view with regards to the Earth is that its a bit ego-tistical to think that Humans that have been around for 100,000 years or so, could destroy a planet thats been here for 4 billion. Also, nature hates me

 

[Jaebird]

Uh, hello? You can't live on a video game console. It's too small, and larger hard drives are stupid expensive. The Earth on the other hand has trillions of terabytes.


...Puns!

Videogames of course!

We won't need earth anymore, as soon as those space-center people like the ones at NASA or ESA realize we can just live on space-stations.

It will need to be big space stations though, there won't be only room needed for a few billion people to live, but also for farming grounds and forests and whatever else is needed to support life on the space-stations forever.

Earth.

It's where I keep all my stuff!

Plus, no videogame yet has beat a sunset.

I assume Kratos will get to that soon enough.

I vote video games because they let me escape from an Earth where people run such stupid surveys.

Games. Who needs a planet to play them on? I'll play 'em on Mars!
