Just imagine how terribly we polluted the environment that a terminating robot had to come from the future to fix it for us.

Arnold Schwarzenegger : " Let's terminate pollution!"
Pollution: " I'll be back..."

Reporter: what is the gas mileage of the vehicle that you drive?
Arnold: 9mpg, but I'm special and not a minion like you. Do as I say, not as I do.

Only Arnold can say Terminate with such authority.

"you can have the best crapitalism in the world, but if people are dead, they're DEAD. It's over" -Truer words have never been spoken.

"But if people are DED, they're DED... It's OVAH!" -That personally scared me. Not because of the climate changes threats, but 'cause it came out of Arnold's mouth.

"If people are dead, they're dead. It's over".
This is it, in a nutshell.

This is the guy who drives a massive hummer. Kind of ironic. Change and adaptation is smart and promotes survival. Glad the terminator is forward thinking.

I don't object to the use of the word "Liars", it's the use of the word "Leaders" that bothers me. Arnold really holds back.

Arnold:"If people are dead, then they are dead..so COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE"

[rationalityrules]

We are a species of narrative. "Tell the story" is bang on.

“You are famous for bodybuilding and movies…”umm maybe mentioning that he was governor of the state with by far the highest GDP in the USA for 8 years would be more relevant here.

In today's world we don't have Leaders but Bleeders ! Who have destroyed every little thing !

Arnold: "Let's terminate pollution"

Pollution: " He's coming, GET to the CHOPPER".
