Intergalactic Summit

To offer something that's actually on topic, while I'm not especially enthusiastic about a celebration of this nature, best of luck to the competitors, and well-wishes to those hoping or planning to attend. As always when fireworks are involved, please celebrate responsibly.

Lyn, I was only kind of joking. This thread has been derailed enough.

I do not wish to derail the topic any more. If I had responded, I would have clarified that I never meant to advocate the involvement of unqualified people in the practical side of the education process. I also would have pointed out that the claimed failings of Foiritan's cultural and education policies actually improved the status of the private operators on those sectors, resulting in more options to choose from for the families and communities. In many respects, my response might have echoed the point of view represented by Mr. Kross. However, any further discussion should probably be conducted elsewhere, as suggested.

Instead, I would like to encourage all the female capsuleers browsing this discussion topic to take part in the beauty contest.

What would be a better way to show that you are not afraid of what other people think than stepping in the spotlight and letting the audience drool over your tight, trimmed body, smooth complexion and hot, self-conscious smile? Being a capsuleer is a massive individual achievement, you have already beaten almost everyone else in almost every conceivable way. You know you were born to win. Show us some mercy, and let us worship you on the beauty contest stage, as a star among the stars.

Well, nothing is preventing you from doing so and I do think you would be able to make unbiased assessments on the beauty of the male form. Even if my own talents lie elsewhere - I've never exactly had the physical perfection of a Brutor, say - and I don't exactly think an audience would drool over my... tight, trimmed body, smooth complexion and hot, self-conscious smile.

They'd probably want to sue me for mental and psychological damages.

Meh, Tiber lets show our patriotism by drinking massive amounts.

Are we sexist? Yes.
Rude? Sometimes.
Debaucherous? Only when we are not sleeping.

Dearest Aelisha, I know you don't understand us as your comments show this. I don't expect you to either. To give a little insight however, we act this way because of those "shaky Fed patriots" whom fought to give us the freedom to express ourselves. We don't know what tomorrow brings, so we save what we can and then enjoy today. At least that's what the Fed means for me.

All in all, when death cant stop you what else can you do but live?

Let's keep Federation Day apolitical, shall we?

The Federation is, after all, its peoples and societies, not its government.

Looks like a winner to me.

The very strange thing is that I perfectly understand all possible meanings of the individual words involved in this statement, but when you arrange them together in that specific fashion, they cease to make any kind of sense whatsoever.

I will attempt to make it, both in the sexiest Hull I can find, as well as the sexiest outfit I can find. One can't truly appreciate one set of curves without the other, after all.

All this talk of 'debauchery,' it's as if no one watches Gallente holoshows. Using those as a baseline, this 'competition' seems hardly derogatory, and actually quite tame.

I would be interesting in judging a competition of it's like with some fine male flesh, given some people are forced to attend.

What time are the festivities set to commence?
