Intergalactic Summit

Go cut yourself, heretic.

We rebelled for these very reasons, and we're labelled barbarians.

I have destroyed my share of enemy vessels, Pilot; over 100 in single combat at last count.

I dont flaunt "jingling dog tags" and beg for a treat and parental praise like a child who has completed his chores.

Dear Miss Starfire,

Had you been a "held one" with the Cresthill Holders, you would not have missed out on the nurture and parental guidance that would have shaped your spirituality to a fulness that you now obviously lack. I am very sorry that you were taken a slave by a false holder and never shown the true compassion and love that a true holder would have shown you. It is not too late for you to receive the parental praise that the child's heart within you craves. The Cresthills would gladly take you under our compassionate wings and help you walk in the light and mercy of God. You seem to me like a very hungry soul, much in need of reclaiming.

Now that's just creepy.

Right down to the bit where I'm almost confident you were looking over her Galnet profile image as you were writing this.

Perhaps you should stop projecting your own twisted, godless, perverted mind on others and concentrate on the need for your own empty soul to be reclaimed, Mr. Marellus.

The so-called free nations are under a false assuption that liberty is obtained by freeing the body to self-will. Problem is, the mind and spirit become imprisoned in depravity, violence, hedonism, and self-destruction. Amarr "slavery" as you call it, "holds" the body of the wayward in subjection while liberating the spirit, mind, soul from bondage into the freedom of God. Eventually, when the slave is set free, that whole person is free, not just a free body in a depraved, imprisoned mind and spirit. The true holder is the real instrument of emancipation.

Don't pat yourselves on the back and praise yourselves for how advanced you are. You are spiritually primitive. Yes, you need to be reclaimed.

The fact you understood where I was coming from proves my point.

Interesting that you say I need reclaiming, that suggests I was already owned once and require re-owning once more. I was born free and live free and one day I'll most likely die free.



So what you're saying is it's not slavery, you're just holding people against their will and subjecting them to various methods of discipline and torture until they are programmed to think as you do. You see this I'd accept as something other than slavery if you didn't spend the time they were going through "education" serving you as you see fit. You see that part? Yeah that's slavery, and there's no nice way of dressing it up with words to suggest it's anything else.



Except they're programmed to think along another person's set of ideals and repeat an endless cycle. You're only one step below Kuvakei on the madness level in that you have to actually break your subjects instead of using implants to simply erase and program. That's not a good thing though.



Using religious belief as an excuse to justify barbarism is spiritually primitive Captain, you see if there really is a God you're claiming to do all this in their name without so much as actual acknowledgement. Pretty sure that's blasphemy, and no some old writings from a few men who had a bit of clout and opinion to convince their local masses to follow them is not proof of justification.

On the other side, if there's a God who can take their creations and gladly have them subjected to slavery to their equal in kind, then they're not my God and I wouldn't follow him even if they came down and demanded it to my face.



Try it, I'll let you know now the outcome. You'll reclaim exactly one bullet for every attempt, now here's the beauty of free will. I'll let you dictate which part of your body gets hit each time.

Oh and before you use the above to suggest violent actions as barbarism and proof of a lack of spirituality and blah blah blah.. I'm not the one jingling dog tags of men and women he's gunned down.

Sorry Dad. Pass me the weird smelling stuff and I'll join you in the make believe world.

...says the guy who belongs to a Corp called "Kings of Kill."

Moral bankruptcy?

That's a laugh. You use poison to ensure loyalty. You invade and enslave anyone who doesn't agree with you.

You have no claim on the moral high ground, Arkonnis.

One of the hallmark dividing lines between Amarr culture and the devolving civilization of Gallente is illustrated by the quote above. Amarr derives value from Scripture, obedience to God, serving humanity, seeking to redeem all, self-denial and unselfishness.

Gallentean culture, if you can call it culture, derives its values from holo-vids. Its self-indulgence, hedonism, careless views of personal liberty, godlessness, etc., are the characteristics of an entertainment based society. Gallente will eventually rot at its own roots from its own moral decay.

Astera forms her opinions of good and bad from watching holo-vids. Hmm...
