Whats the point of living at all if you're STERILE? I mean damn.. STERILE? No way. I'd fight to my dying day just to AVOID being STERILE..

I say fight. If we start to lose we can fire all our nukes at them. If it doesnt kill them at least it will spoil the planet so they cant have it either. They may take our lives but they will never take...OUR FREEEEEEEEEDOM!

if we lose, we can turn the nukes on ourselves; if we cant have the planet, No-one can. lol; sounds kinda sadistic doesnt it? but then worst comes to the worst, which would u rather do?

So you'd rather be dead than sterile? I'm just glad that most people who actually *are* unable to have children think otherwise...

Some people also CHOOSE to be sterile too

True. I'm not saying it's not a terrible, terrible thing to be sterile, just that most people prefer being that over being dead.

I think the entire quesition is selfish. deciding to 'improve' the quality of living for ONE generation, but not allowing the next to EVEN have a chance to live. bah! selfish.

Just keep one thing in mind: the next generation doesn't even exist yet.

My first thought was that I would fight them. But then I had a better thought.

Why don't we let the Americans fight them and see how they get on.

While we kick back on our sofas, munch on popcorn and drink soda? In any case, the home video should be good, if morbid.
