True. But even though you're a horrible despot, we still love you.

Don't be ridiculous: you love me *because* I'm a horrible despot. A proper iron fist would be made of more iron than tentacle, and would be more about inflicting pain than inflicting pleasure Smile

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

What, indeed? Angel

Have I made a claim that anyone should accept as more than my opinion, yet? No. Indeed, how could anyone make a claim that anyone else should accept as more than their opinion?

Potentially having your *only* planet disintegrated isn't something to worry about? Humans, man... I'll never understand them. I have billions of starsystems under my command, and if so much as one planet in one of those systems is attacked: I worry about it. Do I worry too much? Should a Galactic Empiress not be concerned about her people? WHAT, DO I LOOK LIKE A KLACKON HIVEQUEEN TO YOU?! Angry

lol.. I understand your kind.

Tell that to the North Koreans or anyone else who lives or has lived under a despot.

lol.. idiot. this is why humans often rebel? would you somebody to control you absolutely? Can I make you my slave? You know, even during the days of slavery, slaves used to run away or sometimes kill their masters.

Again, if you claim to be as intelligent as you cite, kindly understand human behaviour.

If that's so, then you would be the only human out of 200 billion of your kind to do so. What makes you so special, dazzn? Could it be your womanhood? Thinking

No Violet. Dazzn is still trying to cut a deal on a vat of petroleum jelly. Excuse his nonsensical diatribes until such time I have an opportunity to upload, to him, normal knowledge.

I pretty much figured that you didn't know. I'm with these puny mortal creatures: you're due for some normal knowledge. You should see Cato about that.
