Intergalactic Summit

And yet you choose. While I understand your point is practical and I mine theoretical. An individual makes a choice. I choose to kill for politics or for money. Do I kill or do I not.

I don't know Rule 34. Is there a Rule 34?

The discussion was not about whether someone should or should not fight in a militia. It was whether or not the proxy wars could be stopped by those involved in the fighting. Switching the topic once several people responded to your absurd assertions does not help your cause.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

I was unaware that I had a cause. I will endeavor to make my point less opaque. If no one fights there will be no war.

I don't think that the problem is that capsuleers don't want peace, unfortunately. Plenty of us think there are better uses of us as resources than unending legislated warfare. The problem is that the factional warfare isn't something the capsuleers started and certainly won't be something we can finish with a handshake. Even if someone managed to take over the whole of the warzone for their people, it would never be safe so long as the treaties that make that war stand continue.

You're simply talking to the wrong people. It would be like telling a battle line sergeant that he needed to end the warfare. It isn't in capsuleer hands to make those regions safe(r) for travel.

Mr. Stane.

We must seem very cynical and jaded to you.

But this is a road long traveled.

I hear from our mutual acquaintances that you are a moral man with an ethical center lacking in many of your capsuleer kin, including I regret to say, myself.

Don't become discouraged, but don't assume that the theoretical will ever vanquish the practical.

Peace will come in its own time.

Oh and for what its worth Pieter, you are one of two Caldari, loyal to the State, that need never "hesitate" to speak for me.

There's an easy solution for this feeling by the by...

Stop caring.

First peasant to figure out how to beat his plowshare into a sword, eh.

Let me boil it down to it's simplest terms...

Your appeal will remove only the patriots from the warzone - those who care about the reputations of their respective militias. Those with a vested interest in maintaining the law of arms and interstellar law. It will leave in place those who fight solely for the money - in effect making a bad situation infinitely worse.

Moreover the presence of those mercenary elements demands the presence of patriot elements to secure and protect the interests of their countrymen.
