Intergalactic Summit

My fellow citizen... are you aware that such a thing will not happen? Are you also aware that if it did come to pass millions would simply die for nothing? A massive space battlefield were thousands upon thousands of ships would be destroyed just for the sake of satisfying some old feud.

We are not arrogant like the Amarr and we are certainly not bloodlusting Matari warmongers ( not that i hold all Matari to this same standard ) .. we are Caldari and while united we should fight with purpose and with our brains..

In case you haven't noticed Miss Kim, by attacking the Federation you are poking around the sides of a monster that once awakened and propped into gear will strike back with such force that will send our fleets back reeling from the blow.

Both sides are guilty and the crime is lack of understanding, while I as Caldari do frown upon the past history of the Gallente and Caldari people I am also a realist and the future does not lie by any means in confrontation but cooperation, profitable cooperation for both sides.

Like it or not we need the Gallente just as much as we need the Matari and... regretfully in many aspects the Amarr.

No one should be denied opportunities on the basis of arbitrary labels or meaningless divisions.

Even though the competition on the Federal job market is tough and discriminatory practices seem to have taken root on its darkest corners, not all employers are alike.

Reclamation Technologies is a diversity valuing organization. Our recruitment and career development policies are neutral with regard to ethnicity, creed, age, ancestry, color, marital status, race, caste, gender, bloodline, body modification, sexual orientation, genetic constitution, religion, home planet, political affiliation, pregnancy, mental or physical disability or national origin.

We warmly welcome all Matari job seekers who are not afraid of challenges to apply for positions in our company. Together we can overcome the prejudices and change the cluster.

You do realise Mr Hayden is speaking of Federal Citizens of Minmatar Origin being patient with the Federal Government as opposed to the Republic being patient?

In that case, my apologies for misrepresenting your position. I had believed it would have been better for the Gallente Administration to primarily focus on ways of reducing tension within their own borders. Staying true to your founding principles and treating all of your citizens equally regardless of their origins or beliefs.

The problem, as we see from recent articles, seems to be a habit for the mentality of the mob to take control in times of adversity and strike out at those they see as representing the source of the adversity.

And yes, I'm fully aware the Republic is just as guilty of this. It's something both nations need to work upon.

You have no right to be calling other Caldari a traitor. Considering that you support Heth, and Heth and his supporters have been flagged by the CEP as terrorist and enemies of the State, that technically makes you the traitor.

Such a thing has already happened. We have lost millions in this war that started only because of old feuds. There was no change to create it besides opportunities...



I hope I am misinterpreting your statement here...but it seems like you wish to create peace by simply finding means of profit that outweigh any misgivings, rather than distancing yourself from our ancestor's actions.

We all may be like our fathers, but we are not them.

The best solution for peace is to bury these 'old feuds' that have been so deeply ingrained in our culture.

To forgive but never forget does not mean you always act with prejudice.



Sweetheart, I wish you weren't so close-minded sometimes. You have a good heart, in my experience, but you are often blinded by your feelings. I wonder, how would you feel if this tribunal you feel is so necessary for the Gallente would happen for the Caldari?

What if the State cracked down on everyone who supported Heth, who has committed crimes against the State? Let's take your words, and reflect them in a mirror...

'They have committed a crime against humanity. Their government should be deposed and everyone involved in this so called [coup] should be put under tribunal with public hearing, so all cluster will know about their crimes.'

Would you willingly submit to the rulings of such a Tribunal even if you felt you were upholding your duty as a State Citizen? Would you follow a ruling even though you resist the rulings against Heth so far?

You are a strong woman, but I feel you will only find solace after you hit rock-bottom. I pray you will live up to the name of the Caldari dreadnought, and rise from the ashes again.

The Amarrian economy is entirely built on the slave trade.

And if you think that someone would willingly be a slave you are delusional.

Confliktus makes a lot of sense here. It's pretty rare (in the Federation or the State, at least) for someone to ignore things that directly benefit themselves. Mutual profit can be the sort of glue that sticks people together in an environment where they can start to understand one another.

There are certainly examples of slaves who decided to remain in the Empire until they were absorbed in as citizenry. Also, we have quite a few slaves who are against leaving. Those are, of course, dependent on other issues.

Remember that this strikes deeply at the hearts of those who have not proven good stewards of their servants. Consider that the emancipation order released only those slaves who had been born from long generations of slaves. Obviously, people who have grown up within the Empire and know nothing else. Those, and the highly educated as well as theologians. Which leaves hard labor such as mining as the mainstay of slave labor (they rarely keep slaves alive long enough to have long generations and they hardly qualify as highly educated).

Of the rest, why would they leave? To whit, I can provide my own story. On the order of the emancipation (my family being almost completely involved in theologian study and thus our slaves all counted as doing religious work), we took them in cloaked shuttles to the Minmatar Republic. We allowed them to witness what they wanted to see, wherever they wanted to see it, and then asked them where they would like to be dropped off.

Only two actually were dropped off anywhere but their former duty stations. One emigrated to the Minmatar Republic and the other returned to his duties after marrying someone he had met (bringing her back as well). They are no longer "slaves", I suppose. They are free to leave. They simply do not. They carry on as they always have, doing as they have always done. It seems to have appealed to them more than what they saw elsewhere.

Keep in mind, though, that being a bodyguard or cleaner in the House of Baracca might be what you would call "cushy". As far as slavery goes, we rarely treated them much different than close relatives. We grew up with them, took them into our church, and dealt with them bountifully. Being at the beck and call of your common Father or Sister Baracca was simply better than being at the whim of their tribes.

I imagine those who would most like to be free are not, in any way, affected by the emancipation directive. Highly educated slaves likely already have carved out substantial positions for themselves and those who work in theological fields really have no other place to practice the field they were educated for.

People wanting to remain slaves may seem counter-intuitive, but given the political climate outside the Empire and the relatively rigid society they were born into, is it really that surprising?

I find this statement confusing.

Are you at the same time implying that Minmatars with the wrong Voluval tattoo that do not want to go into exile or mutilate themselves follow the same analogy and are like children that do not go willingly to bed on time ?
