But normally, windows don't protect you. That's not even taking Microsoft into account.

Just because its shitty at its job, doesn't make it less of its job.

And no, i don't understand myself either.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

I think we're all missing a larger point here.  What exactly were the Earth Space Marines or whatever they're called expecting to find in Ferngully that warranted bringing a small army of mechs and gunships?

At least its jingoistic enough to assume that America alone makes it to other solar systems, accents and all.

Yes, they are. But no window material usually compares to normal armor in protectiveness, therefore windows are usually just holes in armor. The fact that the one most vulnerable part of the vehicle is supposed to sit right behind them doesn't help.

Half way through this movie I realize this was sort of Dances with Wolves/Independence day...
It made me have no sympathy for the non-human characters, and it made me quite upset that the movie assumed the humans were completely wrong. They go, Oh no if our home tree is destroy then they'll all die. They don't... It was just so strongly environmental that it bordered on being alienating. and the fact they assume the humans won't come back....

And yes, they were after a material worth 20 million dollars per kilo. I bet some other corporations will get on it.
