[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Spartan1995324[/quote] Being wary isn't the same as wanting to continue fighting and exterminating them though. There's nothing funky about being wary even if they like them, I wouldn't find that weird at all, not really anyway. You seem to be grossly underestimating the passage of time and how that plays out on feelings and emotions...after all the people who've directly participated in the war have died off, there isn't going to be anymore intense hatred, it's eventually going to fizzle out as anything widespread. Take the Holocaust for instance, it's always going to be a sore spot between Israel and Germany, but the two nations get on well enough with each other (well about as well as Israel gets on with any other nation...they're rather suspicious of everyone, and with fairly good reason) and Jews and Germans get on well enough with each other...time fixes everything. And after a 30+ year war, humanity is tired of fighting, and the Elites are still about a million times stronger than humanity militarily, if war actually was started up again they'd stomp all over whatever humans fought them just like what happened during the Human-Covenant War...and advances with Forerunner technology are not going to be made quickly, by the time humanity would be able to put up any kind of decent fight against the Elites or any other faction using all Covenant technology, the emotions of the war would have long faded from mainstream opinion and view. No, what Parangosky is doing is being a petty -blam!-. Her actions are not helping humanity in any way are just the seeds for more war if not handled properly, which is what's happening, she is displaying every ounce of incompetence and lunacy she has. All of Parangosky's actions and manipulations are just the seeds for humanity's extermination. Both sides are tired of fighting and don't want more war....but because Parangosky is an arrogant -blam!- and thinks she knows better than anyone, she's decided to be a traitor and put her own interests before the UNSC's or humanity's. And, no actually, all it takes to retcon anything is a few simple sentences.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RobertoJH[/quote] Gravemind? Seriously? That's your source? Hah XD I'll take anything that chronic liar says with a whole universe full of salt...everything it says is some sort of manipulation, outright lie, or twisting of the truth in order to suit its own ends and get people to do what it wants. Nothing that Little Shop of Horrors reject says can be trusted. Any truth in what it says is so covered up with lies that it might as well be lying outright. What the Terminals says about the Forerunners is not something that can be described as evil. It's being over-protective and taking a good thing too far as well as being rather lacking in foresight, but it's not evil or anything that can be considered that way. When did I ever say the Forerunners were perfect or never did anything wrong? They clearly have flaws...but that does not make one evil or un-heroic, even the best heroes have flaws, but that does not make them unworthy of respect or holding them in honor and high regard. The Forerunners are heroes and amongst the good guys in Halo, just like the characters from both sides of the Human-Covenant War who've rallied together to stop the Flood and Truth and his rabble of zealots. Glasslands and Thursday War begs to disagree with you. Jul is not motivated by wanting to save the Elites, not completely, it's primarily hatred of humans. Do you forget that he views them as vermin and the scum of the earth? Or any of the other Elite characters we see besides the Arbiter? They all express the same opinions on humans as Jul does....all of which are motivated by hatred and in addition, we get Phillips, the so-called "expert" on all things Elite, saying that every single one hates us as well, and no Elites who agree with the Arbiter's views on humans are even mentioned at all. You also have every 99% of the planet going -blam!- nuts and on a rampage just because Parangosky's evil little cronies set foot on Sangheilios to extract the Elite "expert" Phillips. And I am not generalizing anything, as I have quite explicitly stated things only terms of "majority" and "minority" I have never once said that every single Elite ever shares the same view as Thel. And unlike Traviss I am not making bull--blam!- up to fit my own agenda...it's all over Halo 3 and the promotional material for it as well as Halo 2 and the guide book that came with it (Conversations from the Universe), and every single piece of the lore released after Halo 2 all the way up to when Travissty cocked things up with her shyte. No they haven't ONI has always been directly subservient to and monitored by the UNSC, that's how the lore has always treated it, from the very start, aka The Fall of Reach. As long as there has been an ONI, they have been treated as being held accountable for their actions by the UNSC. They are not separate, they are a division of the military and under the chain of command of the UNSC and the government itself, the UEG. ONI has no right to encourage more war when humanity is in such a precarious position and on the verge of extinction still and who they're trying to piss off and start a war with would be able to stomp humanity into the dust so that they'd never rise again if they wanted to. If a war was started with the Elites, it would be the same situation as in the Human-Covenant War all over again and humanity would be wiped out, no amount of trying to start a civil war is going to change that. ONI would not be acting as they are in Glasslands if they were really focused on humanity's best interests and what would serve them....they would be working Hood and the rest of the government to secure alliance and an official truce with the Arbiter for the Elites and humanity. Instead, Parangosky is showing how much of a petty, spiteful, and selfish -blam!- she is by acting in her own interests as opposed to those of humanity. [Edited on 11.05.2012 4:53 PM PST]
