(Survey)Which planet would be destroyed?

Post by LordShaithis »

You're on the bridge of the Death Star with Tarkin, and he announces that he is going to blow up one of four planets. The thing is, you must choose which one. If you refuse to choose or otherwise try to get clever, Tarkin will simply blow up all the planets out of spite.

Here are the choices:

A - Planet of six billion "normal" people
B - Planet of six billion institution-grade retards
C - Planet of six billion fundamentalist Christian creationists
D - Planet of six billion Trek dorks who think the Feds can beat the Imps.

Now, just list the planets in your order of preference, starting with the one you would be MOST likely to choose for destruction, and ending with the one you would never choose.
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now! All votes for me! Wheeee!" -- Lagmonster

Is this the situation where you choose one particular answer, you think like Hitler? I seem to recall hearing something similar like this... :?:

Nobody's harmed by someone who think that the E-E could take out an entire Imperial fleet, but they're still stupid, that's why it's third.

Hypothetical situation - planet D is spared. The ambassador for planet D suddenly hails the Death Star and says something along the lines of "Hahahaha, you're scared of our mighty Starship Enterprise! And your puny death star could never harm us anyway, because it uses a laser!" I wouldn't like to be anywhere near Tarkin or the Death Star at that point.

Although, I would prefer to use Chemical weapons on the fundies, something that kills painfully, Mustard Gas perhaps. Fundies deserve to die slowly.
