They claim they are building some sort of Utopia. But they never smile! I've never seen one smile. And especially not Tiberious! So I am not surprised that he's constantly mean. Seems more like some sort of dysopia instead!

I think I've seen Deadrow grin. That's almost a smile...

Well, no, fair point, kirjuun.

*tears up excessively* I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mother and father, without you I wouldn't be here. My brother, for all the support you gave me during these hard times. All the loyal members of the church of Claudia (you know who you are). And to my cat Tibbits for, well, being my cat. I humbly accept this great honor and promise to work hard to bring you the quality of random nonsense you have come to expect from me in all my future endeavors. *walks away clutching the award, teary eyed and smiling*

Take note of question mark. Meant I was leaving it open for the "right person" to affirm it. Gods. Is humor lost in this galaxy?

You are trying too hard. By the looks of your post records, you do not come here very often.

Perhaps this will help. As a wise old man once said:

"The Intergalactic Summit. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

I love everyone who is in my collective.

It is not my job, however, to love the crazy people who somehow manage to get themselves a pilots license.

Myth: The Apocryphon says all people are equal.
Fact: The last two lines of the Apocryphon text proclaim nothing at odds with the strict hierarchy of man as proclaimed in the canonical Scriptures:
As Garrulor rules the skies; as Frisceas rules the sea;
As Emperor rules Holder; as Holder rules Serf;
Yet all under Heaven serve Me;
So shall Amarr rule the worlds of the Heavens.
— The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 3.19 - 3.21
That God would say, “you are all my creation” can hardly be considered a statement on the equality of man, for Fedos and Slaver Hound fleas are also God's creation, and surely they are not equal to holders and Emperors. That God would say, “all are equal in my kingdom” says nothing about those outside the kingdom, a group which must include at least all those outside the faith. Indeed, even within the faith, Sani Sabik have not held an expansive definition of equality, as nearly all such groups identify savants, persons (like myself) of superior intellect and spiritual insight meant to serve as rules and leaders. I suspect that the “kingdom” mentioned in the Apocryphon is actually Paradise.

Mr. Nauplius, equality of people is a myth and misconception, nurtured by inferior subhumans like Gallenteans to subjugate other species under their rule by their propaganda.

You don't really have to look into Scriptures and other sources of transcendent, metaphysical origin, since concept of equality and inequality of peoples isn't something, that one can believe or not believe into. It is something, that can be proven with science and facts.

Every educated Caldari child will tell you that there are no peoples with equal genome, equal rights and abilities, unless they are clones. Who we are and what we can be, was dictated to us by our birth, when the nature, or the God, or scientists (who messed with our genes), programmed whom they want to see.

Let us leave facts to science, and religion for explaining things outside of it. Of course, even facts and physical laws can have metaphysical background and based on things we can't explain by science.

But would you agree, that you don't appeal to molecular structure of chopsticks when you teach how to use them to eat your food, right? Then why would you appeal to divine when you describe facts, that can be proven just by science?

I agree that nudity should be kept to a minimum; however, without a bit of nudity during ritual sacrifice it is not possible to make accurate cuts and collect the blood. Trying to sacrifice a clothed person would just mean sloppy cuts and bloody clothes.

When they were taking my blood in medbay, they didn't order me to undress at all.
They just grabbed my hand, applied strong smelling disinfectant and made small accurate incision to my finger and collected the blood into a test tube.
See? No nudity, sloppy cuts and bloody clothes required.
