Nudity on statues is hardly indecent, and similar statues are present in orthodox Amarr places as well. The human form is a beautiful thing. What is indecent is the revealing of it at inappropriate times and for inappropriate purposes. Indecency therefore is a matter of time, place, and purpose--the human body itself is not shameful or wrong in any way and it would be blasphemy against God to believe such. The purpose of sculpture is art, to present timeless depictions of the beauty of God's holy creations, and so there is no indecency here.

It is rather childish to get bothered by such things. Especially when the typical statue in Amarr capsuleer quarters is still more covered than swimmers and manual laborers who work with their shirts off--something that is common in all of the empires.

Lieutenant Kernher, what would have happened if I myself have appeared, for example, in PIE ball, wearing clothes just like these statues?


That is irrelevant, and shows that you clearly missed the point.

You are not a statue.

Yes, I don't understand it about... such "art", it looks incredibly inappropriate to me!
I mean, they are installed in public places and should inspire citizens... how they inspire with missing clothes. It really looks very gallentean to me.

As for manual laborers, we were often working during the training, digging trenches, setting camps, and making many other things. Instructors never allowed me to work without shirt, unless it was an emergency.

Hmm... makes sense, though I would think there would be something caldari based..... perfect breeding ground for some repressed urges to be revealed and all, ya know?

I am a soldier, not a medic, Ms. Vess, to browse files with human anatomy.
I am pretty sure there are enough educational material on this subject in the State domain, and it isn't indecent, because it is professional, but it is outside of my area of interests.

Not really. It's mostly college students fighting over political ideals and pictures of cats. You actually have to go looking for official government statements, and p0rn sites rarely pop up unless you make a habit of searching for them. I imagine it's the same cluster wide, our college students are just more fun to laugh at.

Bit out of the blue, but since you mentioned college students...

Fraternity initiation. Never could wrap my mind about that, truth be told. I mean, these people audition for the role of "Idiot" like it's their life's ambition, while the Federal Marines struggle for recruits? Weird.

But the allure of watching people do monumentally stupid things keeps me giggling anyways.

I was never a member of a fraternity, but I have seen some hazing that would make a DUST merc cringe.

Oh Maker... I am currently immersed in something that resembles a bad Gallente teen-coming-of-age holo. Seriously. I got asked if I wanted to join a Fraternity...

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.

Mine was called "SPECFOR Training" and "Graduation Exercise". Not sure how to compare the three.

And Pieter... If you do... I. Want. Pictures. Lol

and you wanted to learn dirtside in-person

UGH.
I'm telling you, distance learning from a space station/ship is the way to go even if you don't want the data dowloaded straight into your implants.

If it resembles anything of Gallentean... just run, killing everyone who will try to stop you, and leaving ruins behind!
No, really...

And what the heck is this "Fraternity"?..

I can just imagine the casualty report details in a military unit if citizens were this sexually repressed:

"So?"

"Well, I simply couldn't imagine giving them field triage if I saw their boobs, sir!"

It's like reading the script for a parody-caricature sketch show.

First.
I believe these statues are males, and not females (although I can't be sure).

Second.
If you weren't missing classes, you would know what does public appearance mean.
And if you can't perform your duty only because of inappropriate look, you are just sad kakku, Gesakaarin-hnolku.


It's like you're trying to make an actual point and then failing miserably. Much like that time you tried to engage and destroy the Heron and Kestrel of my COO and myself with a Zealot and Falcon and failed just as miserably.

Now, see what I did there? I set up that punchline in one context, then switched it up and deployed that tight spread of irony loaded torpedoes right on target. Because I was attending classes on how to be a First Grade Caldari Badass when you were still half a zygote in the paternal sack; and marching in jackboot cadence in duty to the State while you were still getting those beatings you keep on talking about no doubt for being about as useful to society as a bag of dicks at a lesbian convention. Explanation enough in my mind for the continued domination over a military reject such as yourself.

Granted, appreciation of irony is beyond you, just as much as the subtleties of social wit due to what appears to be your present state of hydrostatic-capsule induced autism. Or perhaps your continued displays of always failing to get the joke and making a point is a product of irreversible brain trauma that carried over to your infomorph engrams due all those beatings you bring up at almost any available opportunity that it could almost be assumed that physical masochism is your kink. Regardless, you do at least have my thanks for being that gift that keeps on giving in actually managing to violate the metaphorical laws of entropy and thermodynamics by being a joke that continues to write itself in the perpetual motions of abject mediocrity.

There is something to be said about not kicking an idiot again when they're down, and in most situations out of kindness and decency I would not. However it really does seem that beatings are your fetish, and thus what I might have considered cruelty instead becomes an act of personal largesse to be bestowed with gratitude upon yourself. This I am more than able to grant if only to paraphrase some particular jaijii lyrics:

Because my pimp hand is way strong.

Ms. Kim-haani has paid visit to our establishment, but has only kept to the outsider - public areas.
Now I kind of regret she hasn't decided to explore further.

Nevertheless, the invitation still stands, Diana. After all, to know true indecency and decadence, one has to be able to cite several sources.
