If some are truly willing to stand for peace, then they should. If they don't, and Eternal War is the grace of the Lord, then it shall be fulfilled.

I would like to be proved wrong, but I feel the only end to the Minmatar question will to the barrel of lasers and artillery.


Something tells me you've not bothered to try very hard before moving to the easy solution. Does God embrace the quick and easy? Or does he challenge you to rise above that? According to what I've read of your Scriptures, the Amarr are his representatives. I don't know about you, but I'd be pretty bent on having representation that actually tries, were I am omniscient deity.


Do I wish for war with the Minmatar? My heart does, but my mind knows it would probably mean disaster. A war with Matar would be anything but quick and easy. I know my fellow Amarr feel the same way.

As I said, I would like to be proved wrong and peace be maintained, but I have a strong fear that may be impossible. Only God knows what the future has in store.

One can but hope. I'm glad to see a perspective grounded in reality, rather than wishful thinking and assumption. Do the Cluster a favor, and never lose that gift of clarity.

Sweet Maker wept you're a dense one. Where did I state anything about you asking for respect? Do you now fail as much at comprehension as your attempts at dialectical questioning?


Ad personam again ?

I was questioning your worth and character from the outset solely as questioning your worth and character. Ad personam would assume it was an attack where I would have been disingenuous by not focusing on an argument presented. An argument you did not present, and typically never do, because as I said you fail miserably at your attempts at dialectical questions.

Try again, dear.

"Sheets to the wind on an empty stomach and in the drink with you," is how Javier puts it... oh, good morning captain! Let's putter over to that reef, there, and the boys can practice grabbing fish with their little paws.

I should note the drink here is quite pleasant, actually.

I presented various counter arguments, you chose to answer by ad personam.
