Tell me why! How come? SAY IT! SAY IT!

Somebody already beat me to a line about Heroes not being the ones to think about Genocide. Heroes also are unlikely to think about breaking regulations and rules. If you're familiar with the story-line of CoH, Heroe's weren't always accepted with open-arms by the communities of the world. In many cases, beings with meta or super-powers are still viewed with suspicion, hatred, disgust, and other negative emotions.

While Supergroups, Anti-Heroes, and Aliens are more accepted in today's Paragon City... the rest of the world treats the quarantined zone with a bit of... distrust?

Statesman alone wasn't responsible for the fight against the Rikti. He worked with a wide range of other organizations and super-powered beings directly. As such, I'm not really sure he can be faulted with not wiping out the Rikti when he was probably physically capable of doing so. As was revealed in the external comments, Statesman's Freedom Phalanx aren't really the optimum group for taking the fight to the Rikti to begin with.

Was it a mistake for the Power's of Paragon City's Dimension to not wage war against the Rikti? Or against the 5th Column? Or against the Praetorians?

In some aspects... yes. In other aspects, a peace treaty with the majority of the Homeworld Rikti Society is within reach... as those who play through the RWZ arcs find out. Perhaps once the Rikti Lord of War is defeated once and for all, a genuine peace can be discussed, and we'll find out what super-powered threats the Rikti face in their world.

I am bored too btw.

Here is the real story... I have to be nearly dead to call in sick on a Monday or Friday. I never want my boss to think I am extending my weekend. In 13 years I may have called in sick on those days once. I am also bad of coming to work and trying to make it, when I would never expect or demand that of my staff. Heck even my boss would rather I just stay home sick.

Lets talk about vacation days. I don't get how people take whole weeks off at a time. I can only remember taking a whole week off since I started working once. I like taking an extra day for a 3 day weekend or slipping out a few hours here and there.

While you may find my response dull, it did entertain me for a few momemts.
