Just one that refuses to leave me alone

One of the Autobots (can be canon or some random bot that has no name) decides that the humans are not worth protecting or worth dying for. He says that the Autobots would be better of without us scrambling around all the time, causing trouble in battle with the various hostage situations and that human tech and knowledge were so far behind their own that they shouldn't even be associating with us. And he lists every single thing wrong with human society.

The other Autobots (while inside may believe that what the mech says is right) don't want to admit it and they tell him to shut up. Too late. Several humans overhear everything before the Autobots discover their presence. Several tense moments pass, shocked faced and on the verge of tears, the humans walk out silently and don't talk to any of the Bots as they head back to their homes.

Now this could go several ways:

1. Human pride has been insulted and a challenge has been issued. Human governments across the globe clean up their acts and humanity is slowly, but surely repaired, without the help of the Autobots in anyway. Humans even begin to repel Decepticon attacks by themselves.

2. Human pride has been insulted. The governments will not take this action lying down.

3. One of the humans who overhear the anti-human Autobot says, "At least we haven't started a war that's destroyed our entire planet and gone to another so we can keep killing everything there."

Morality/Social Justice class has been making me ponder about the state of the human race. While it has improved significantly over the several million years since humanity evolved, a lot of new challenges have come to light along with a lot of new injustices. Sort of makes me wonder if the human race is even worth saving...

That's really interesting. If I didn't have twenty other things to do already, I'd totally snag that.

I wish you would. It's fangs are very sharp and are currently buried in my right leg.

Oh all right.*Grabs bunny off of your leg and tosses it in with the others*

I'll post a link when I'm done.

I've had the same idea for a while as well! I wish it would leave me alone too. :(

(BTW, what books are you reading for this class? I'm curious, because I'm a total nerd like that. XD)
