Good Caldari. The one that lets actions speak for themselves.
Bad Caldari. The one that might cut himself on the edge he's swinging around.

I would very much like to purchase an edge upon which I can cute myself. Not particularly bothered if it makes me Bad Caldari, since being good isn't at the top of my agenda.

Ladies love cute, right?

You apparently like reaching for low hanging fruit too. That desperate for attention, or did someone I **** off pay you to snipe me?

I do indeed enjoy low hanging fruit. I am better prepared for activities that actually require thought because of it.

Regardless, It was honestly meant in jest. Don't take it so seriously, you'll do yourself an injury.

Be blunt?

Right, my time in this thread is over, as I have been soundly defeated by Father Baracca here...

I dislike being put in a good or bad box.

I'm a lawful evil Caldari citizen, and proud.

I don't ever remember you being evil. Was I just not paying attention?

*Grins* That's because you're a friend, I'm always lawful to my friends, evil to everyone else.

Heh, who am I kidding. I'm a softy all 'round really.

If you're flying with Q-Cats you're a pretty worthless Caldari. Just saying.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

I tend to find that thinking about being Caldari is a bit like thinking about breathing. The dissection of it interrupts it's continuation, somewhat.


I see your point, but like most things the definition of Caldari is always in flux and that affords us the opportunity for insight. Different moments in history, different leaders and different circumstances provide us the necessary distinctions for introspection.

Today's good Caldari can be tomorrow's bad Caldari and vice versa.

That is because nobody is the totality of an idea - they are all people, first and foremost. Even the meanest of people can, sometimes, be inspired to rise to the occaision. Even the noblest of people can fall in an hour of need.

Essentially, this is the heart of our need for kirjuun. None of us can be a good Caldari in splendid isolation, because we are only Caldari at all when we are collectively striving for the good of ALL Caldari. What few issues I have with people like Verin stem from this feeling - that separating yourself from the rest of us to go and be a better Caldari outside the State is, essentially, missing the very point of being Caldari.

But I am aware that this opinion is just that, an opinion. I still honour all those who strive to keep to the Way and honour the State in their daily lives.
