Hi everyone, I just want your input on this:

I can't help but notice that all of our mechs are very well armed, with the
exception of a few which simply look intimidating enough as it is.  Each one of
our creations is gifted with large destruction capabilities.  Unlike most of
the creations in "space", we have been manufacturing one weapon of war after
another.  My Zero had a "compact" 2ft long beam rifle for example.  While most
of the other mechs don't go overboard with their weaponary, they are not
manufactured by the Peacecraft family either.  On a side note, I have noticed a
dramatic drop in the number of smily faces figures in recent Lego sets.
As most of you have already guesed, I am thinking about this due to the last
episode of the 8th MS Team which portrays a Zion engineer in a somewhat
negative way.

Well thanks for letting me waste your time again.

  Re: Are we doing the right thing?
 
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on this matter. I was very impressed to see everything from general ideology to specific war scenarios in the 20 and some odd posts. Needles to say I can not agree with some of the opinions I have seen, but (...) (23 years ago, 1-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
