Completely unintended. I just wanted to avoid words such as dirty, kinky and nasty.

Eh, doesn't matter anyway, I deal with Amarr regularly. I can take a quip without flipping out.

I suspected it was unintended, and just wanted to make you feel awkward, though.


I've seen Verone and Vincent Pryce run past me in Bikinis.

There are few things left in this galaxy that can make me feel awkward Captain.

Please don't try to sully my people, Caellach.

For that matter, don't accuse me of being baseless in my allegations against the Gallente. It's frankly saddening that you can't embrace your own genetic... gifts, however base your collective vices may be. I'm not trying to bring insult upon the Gallente Federation. I deal in hard facts and it is embarrassing to see a grown man who cannot accept who he is, it's in your blood.

Back to the previous topic; confirming that the Civire are admirably effective 'Before's in 'Before and After' campaigns. No doubt the Caldari nation saw the profit in such advertisement strategies and manipulated their genetic pool to produce the traits of the Civire en masse.

While you have to admire the business acumen of the Caldari in creating a race of super-effective advertising assets, due to their sheer hideousness nonetheless, I do think that is a shame that the outcome was so refined to that point, so specialized, that the Civire turned our absolutely incompetent in every other conceivable area.

... I feel like a drink.

There's a beautiful bit of irony here. I'm not sure if you're serious or a master of deadpan humour, if it's the latter then bravo.

I didn't. I just pointed out that it wasn't a Gallente who started the lewd commentary in this thread contrary to your rash and thoughtless accusation.

Genetic gifts?

Also in rebuke, I find it sad that someone feels the need to stereotype and conform to their genes or heritage, rather than carve out their own individual personalities. Be who you want to be, not what people expect you to be to conform to the norm. Infact I'd say ironically, that is being Gallentian, by choosing who and what I am.

Now we're talking my kind of language.

Please don't be ignorant. I'm sorry if I offended you, but I am most certainly offended myself that you would lecture me that our paths are our own to carve. Do you not think that has been a Matari mantra for most of our history? Think about what you're saying using your head, not the quafe cocktails and mindflood no doubt pumping through your system.

Besides, we wouldn't be having this conversation if there weren't established racial trends. Just take Khanid fashion, for instance.

Now who's being ignorant?

Though I find it ironic that you criticise for not accepting my genes and what's in my blood and accept who I am as if it's suppose to shape and design me, then tell me how you embrace carving one's own path.

Perhaps you should look beyond racial stereotypes, because you're exceptionally closed minded and a tad racist.

I disagree. I'm exceptionally open minded. After all, I enlisted in a War with Gallente allies.

Racist? No. I'm a superb judge of character, it's a curse and I accept that lesser enabled bloodlines would like to diminish my abilities by branding it as 'racism'.

I'm trying to be tolerant, logical and foremost, celebrate the ridiculous customs of the Khanid Kingdom who prefer to wear their hair like savage beasts, devoid of the elegant braids and beads worn by Matari artisans. Meanwhile you are being quite rude and derogatory. This, I could accept if you didn't make up absurd fantasies about the Minmatar such as us being born on the "darker" side. I don't see myself, or any of my people entertaining such illusions.

So you're not racist, you just think like a stereotype Pure Amarrian but from a Matari perspective, gotcha.

Wait, you mean to tell me your entire long rant of stereotyping and hypocrisy was all because you got out of the wrong side of bed today, and took a comment meant in jest as a serious accusation of an entire race?

Suddenly everything makes sense... though in future I suggest you approach certain things with a light sense of humour and a firmly bitten tongue if you're unable. You might actually offend someone if you continue with that attitude.

Ouch. That actually hurt... a lot. It's been a while since I've had that feeling. I thought that you were misguided, but I didn't realize that you were actually malicious. Kudos.

Sometimes it's tough love that is needed to bring the point across.

I'm sure you won't lose too much sleep over it, if you do then I'll contract you a nightcap from my private reserve.
