Heathens, let me enlighten you on this.

"So the Lord sent forth the Chosen,
to bring forth the light of faith
And those who embrace his love
Shall be saved by his grace
For we are his shepherds in the darkness
His Angels of Mercy.
But those who turn away from his light,
And reject his true word
Shall be struck down by his wrath
For we are his retribution incarnate
His Angels of Vengeance"
- The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 4:45

We, God's chosen, were sent to redeem the various races. But many turned us away when we peacefully offered them a chance at salvation from their eternal damnation.

In the beginning everyone was equal, but chaos and blasphemy ensued. True Amarrs lived by God's side and were chosen to rule the world. So no, there is no equality between the races anymore. We True Amarrians are superior to all else.

Denied. Your fantasy book proves nothing, all people are equal in the eyes of Claudia. It is your actions and attitude that I shall judge you on when the time comes.


Typical words of a heathen. Please continue to be ignorant, eventually all who deny God will be purged from existence.

Typical words of a Zealot. Please continue to live in your fantasy, your God is impotant.

impotant. I like that word, since it defuses tension.

Those who believe can pretend he meant to say important. Those who don't can pretend he meant to say impotent.

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.

I think he is a she.

And I think she is a Gallentean.

On reflection I think you are correct - although I'm not certain why it's relevant that Claudia is Gallentean, unless you're confusing me with Kim-haani.

All in New Eden know...try to reson with an Amarr is like, trying to talk to a Jovian...waste of time. As a proud gallentean i love freedom and demoracy and the idea we are all equell is a good idea...but we are Capsuleers...we are imortel. Thats what makes us diffrent...but this diffrence is in biology not mind. The worst for us (all in New Eden) are Capsuleers who think of them selfs as Demi-Gods above mortal Humans. Killing without mercy! Let us at least be human in minde...for the sake of all. Together we could make New Eden a paradise. Oh i forgot the Amarrians. As long those scriptur lovers dont change, abandoning the view of them selfs. All of New Eden is lost and it will end in Blood and Death.

Confirming both Gallente and female. Also, confusing you with Kimmy would be difficult. You have wit.... And a handsome jaw line.

Well, I'm shocked I made that mistake now I take a proper look at you. Thank you for handling my oafishness so well.

My oafishness is handled well by many, I would be a poor person if I couldn't respond in kind.

It's an understandable mistake. I keep mistaking Gallente boys for women too, given the lack of proper Civire chiseled jawlines or that Brutor bulk. I suppose it could also be all the times I'm asked if I'm a Gallente male for that matter.

I for one would love to see a minimum standard of intellectual honesty.

As somebody who always attempts to use impeccable logic to make a point, it can be somewhat frustrating to find oneself in an argument with an intellectual pygmy.

There is so much selective perception in this post, it's like seeing things through a mantis shrimp's eyes.

... Yeah, I thought I'd given the only concise and to-the-point answer to the OP. Too bad it got buried by everyone else proving my point.

Half of the job is presentation, Morwen. It's no good being right if you're right in such a way that nobody pays attention.

That thread.

Hmmm. People?

Can't you, for whatever supernatural entities or our undead not-so-sleepy posthuman overlords sake, please understand the fact that after spending 20+k years on separate worlds, you're simply different?

I mean, as different as it can ever happen without going different species different.

Can't you just accept the fact that a Caldari arguing with a Gallentean on the merits of democracy is only a few thousand years (that means, a bit) short of a slaver hound arguing with a... ergh, never mind... that Intaki cow thingy about the merits of being a herbivore?

You're different, people. Just accept it and kill each other in peace like other animals do.

Exploring differences is how you improve your own kind. Examine everything that is different, unknown, difficult or out of the ordinary. You'll find either flaws or improvements that can be applied or weeded out of your own societies, or even come up with something completely new should the right combination of information slosh around in your head in the right quantities.

No. Discussing the merits of a system of governance is not even remotely analogous to your rather stretched metaphor. It's the only way towards self-improvement.

Or you could of course just "kill each other in peace" because that's been known to do a whole lot of good.

I agreed with you immediately and left the thread ages ago Morwen.

Wasting attention on it is a waste of time.

edit: unless you were offended by the op, why would people post here aside from trolling or entertainment? let alone follow O_o I prefer nature and informational non-fiction myself, not this gallente holo-drama drivel.
