of course they should be destroyed... need is not the right word. I mean, did cloud need to try and save the earth, no technically not, he should try to save the world, but he didn't need to.
AND, neither weapon is difficult, I don't know how many times I have to say this about Ruby but you can cast STOP on him, or use Hades, it works. Then he's a sitting duck, or sitting weapon if you'd prefer. Emerald is easy too, even in under 20 minutes.

As for the homo sapien argument, it's stupid. Who cares if we call ourselves human, we invented the language we use anyways, so who says homo sapien is even a justified word for us to use. It really doesn't mean anything, cause think about it. The first word wasn't defined, and was used to create other words, which defined other words, and so on. Therefore, language is based off of something completely undefined. SO technically, I didn't really just say anything.
