Oh, thank goodness.

You are memories sent through a fluid router and into a crafted artificial body. We all are.


No I'm not. I'm a special snowflake. With special transfers. And special artificial bodies. And special memories. And special something something I forget, but it's special.

Snowflakes are special? They are pretty, perhaps, but I don't know if I'd call them special...

Every snowflake is unique and special. Just like people.

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

Indeed, all peoples are unique, like snowflakes, because of unique DNA.
We all are different and no one is equal to other.

And this is why gallenteans are so stupid, when they say people should be equal. It is against nature of humankind. But these gallentean savages simply can't understand.

Equal rights =\= equal being. Everyone should have the opportunity to showcase their skills instead of being forced into roles chosen for us based on our bloodlines. We are humans, we can learn new skills. What is against nature is refusing to adapt.

Rights can be equal among equal ranked students, to allow them learn skill and show their abilities, what they can do and what they can't.
But as people's occupations, ranks and abilities form, their rights change as well.

Rights shouldn't change, privileges and responsibility should. A farmer shouldn't be denied his rights or cast down to a lower tier of society because he wasn't born to a military leader or a CEO of an industrial superpower, and should have a say in how his life is run.

Ah, the irony... That you've got a better grasp on it than the one who most rabidly insists she knows what "Caldari" really is.

Equal chance. Not equal measure. The right... The DEMAND, that each individual develops as fully as they can, for the betterment of the whole. The right to earn what you're worth, not what your percieved worth is by dint of circumstance, with even those born of heroes getting their start at the bottom. The right to rise on merit, rather than some notion of superiority by birth. The right to your share of what you contribute to, farmer or soldier, so long as you contribute.

Rights are earned in the State... But they sure as hell aren't decided on by birth or circumstance. Once you're a citizen, at the age of majority, you've earned the same set as anyone else. After that, it's all about what you do with them.
