Intergalactic Summit

I'll take the quiz, I'm bored.

1. Freedom is worthless unless you do something with it. Freedom itself isn't too spectacular, it's what you can do with it that makes it so special.
2. It is for some, not for others. Some people best benefit themselves and society when they make themselves stand out, otjers are best off trying to fit in. What you need is to allow individualism, not make it a requirement.
3. Hedonism is horrible and poses the greatest threat to the Federation. That said, as long as people aren't hurting themselves or others, they should be allowed to indulge in what they enjoy.
4. Tibus Heth was not a terrorist. A brutal dictator and possible supporter of terrorist, but not one himself, unless it is confirmed he was.
5. Not entirely, Caldari Prime and Caldari Prime's orbits and moons belong to the Caldari. However, the Gallenteams living on and above Caldarie Prime should be treated with respect.
6. We will never be able to tell who truly started it. All we know is both Gallente and Caldari did things to prolong the conflict once it started.
7. "Freedom fighter" is a subjective term. Regardless, both guerillas and professional soldiers play vital roles.
8. "Democracy is the worst form of government, but it's the only one that works."

Hopefully this will help you understand that these topics are far more complex than you might believe.

Hopefully...

As this thread has deviated completely from its purpose of civil discussion between capsuleer experiences of being exposed to, and maybe taken in by, other cultures, I would like to request closure of this thread. Thank you those of you who responded constructively.

Still this is a reply of a patient, soaked through with gallentean propaganda and disrespect to Caldari heroes, culture, history and ideals.

So...you haven't.

While not originally a Nomad of sorts, I was given what ammounts to an unpleasant shove onto that road. Early in my life I was a good and loyal Ni-Kunni believing in what I had been taught and believing in the righteousness of the Faith and of the Empire.

All of that was lost, along with my expected future and my family in one night. I turned to some old Ni-Kunni traditions. I moved around, I traded, I got to know people. And while my travels seemed to take me to just about every corner of New Eden, nothing felt quite so welcoming as the Republic. Sure, it was pretty rough to begin with. Most Matari take one look at me and think something akin to "Amarrian Lap-dog." But I persevered and I earned the trust of the Vherokior Tribe.

Now this would not be all that out of the ordinary if it was just me or me and a few others. But over time, a small group of Ni-Kunni expats have been able to transform our influence, trust and effort into something special. The Vherokior have been more than welcoming to both myself AND many of my countrymen. There is now a small but healthy community of Ni-Kunni in Republic space. Many have even chosen to follow me into reviving some of the old ways, the ways my people used to follow before the Amarr came to Mishi IV.

In the end, I guess I am a pretty terrible Nomad as I have been lucky enough to bring my Culture with me to a point. I love and respect the Republic and I have fought and would be willing to fight for it again. But nothing feels quite so welcoming as walking into the Ni-Kunni district and enjoying both traditional passtimes and seeing the magic of two proud Cultures mixing as well.
