Didn't we just argue about Stargate being the best of the best and not having these problems?
No, actually, we argued about not having these problems to this degree, a fact which seemed totally lost on you in your desire to strawman.
So then they ARE all varying levels of bad, just like real life. Which is what I said.
And you bring up the concept of altruism which was pretty well shot down but I'M the one with the strawman. Who ever brought up altruism in the show? You can still be altruistic and yet a total jerk.
But back to the main point, I'm glad the show does what I really wanted in a Stargate show. It shows people how they are in real life: selfish, greedy jerks.
