You keep using this word. It doesn't mean what you think it means.

Please stop. Please take this argument to private mediums. It is derailing from the purpose of this thread.

You still don't get it, do you. One of the reasons might be that you expected better from a cartel and "almost" call him a friend.

And lieutenant is right, so I'm out.

Only holders have the divine right, wisdom and disposition to own, guide, and reclaim slaves properly, with proper oversight of the Theology Council and Ministry of Internal Order. I will continue to fight against the abuse and ownership of slaves by capsuleers until it ends.

Not really. What is likely to amount to a terrible bureaucratic oversight that you and other filth have abused does not for God's Will make when Scripture says much otherwise, including as well to a whole lot of what tumbles out of your mouth.

Yeah, another way that dealings with and among us might maybe resemble dealings with and among nation states.

It's pretty anomalous as a system for individuals, though. ... Well ... unless we count each capsuleer as a petty monarch....

TCMCs are banned across Ardishapur space for their harmful effect on the spiritual growth of slaves.

They are not humane. Whip, don't chip.

It is more cost effective in the short term. But over the long term it creates a person far less capable of creating and teaching future generations. TCMCs are at their most useful on first generation slaves and other stubborn and resistant troublemakers who require harsher and more expensive education techniques. But after several generations of service you should be relying on the family structure to rear up faithful and dutiful children, as that is cheaper, more effective, and continuous.

A Holder looking at the long term profitability of their slave stock understands that the effort and cost spent to break early generation and rebellious slaves will be made back after a few generations. Late generation slaves produced from properly-taught lineages need few if any whips, collars, guards, fences, sensor equipment, slaver hounds, overseers, or vitoxin, because the family will take care of the teaching for you. That is the ultimate goal of slavery, a lineage that can be trusted to raise its children properly without any need for strict oversight.



Pain is how God intended for us to be taught. It is the natural response to a dangerous, unwise, or self-destructive activity, and serves to teach the body to avoid that activity. Pain is a necessary part of toil! Poor behavior should be associated with pain because that eaches a person to avoid that behavior. It is the most natural and God-given means there is to teach right from wrong.

Even if you use a TCMC that only makes slight changes, rather than the full personality and memory remaps that have been reported in use in the Kingdom, it still takes away from the learning experience. If God didn't want us to feel aggression or other negative impulses, he would not allow us to feel them. But we can feel them, we do feel them. He did not create a universe of only good, he created one where there is both good and evil. It is the duty of God's Chosen to cultivate the spirit of man. We must be taught to choose good over evil, by our own free will. Only by learning how to choose it out of our own free will do we grow into righteous adults. If you simply prevent a person from ever even experiencing temptation, they will never learn how to overcome it on their own. They will be forever children.

Any Holder that uses TCMCs has demonstrated only their poor ability at teaching properly. It is the easy path. It is, itself, a temptation that you are falling to! It is the sin of sloth.

Whip, don't chip.

I whip...AND I chip.

I whip because God is glorified in the destruction of Minmatar.

I chip because God commands obedience and cares not whether that obedience be freely given.

Whip AND chip. Thus saith Nauplius, Prophet of God. Amen. Amarr Victor.
