Intergalactic Summit

It Is Impolite To Criticise the Hostess During The Party.

I did not attend, so I must ask: Who is being mentioned here?

Wait.

General Seriphyn Inhonores brought his daughter to this?

Wasn't Ms. Vitalia talking about having gladiators fight to the death in a bloodsport arena?

Was this known prior to the party? Because otherwise, seriously, what in the hell?

May I ask you to elaborate ?



If the "change dissoluting individual identity"you talk about is truly undesired , then why are people adopting it to various degrees ? That sounds like contradicting itself to me.

This is the first time I have heard of such a device, and I find it to be vaguely disturbing.

Aren't you an Ammatar? Are you really asking me if I'm threatened by other cultures infecting my own?

Do you realize how ridiculous you look? Have you not learned anything about me at all?

I never mentioned anything about denying my fellow Matari their free will. You might be projecting a little there, hun.

Gallenteans don't know what good manners are. If you are invited to a house as a guest, you MUST follow house's rules. If you don't accept this culture or habits, just sit tight, smile to other guests, and if you can't bear it, try counting sheeps in your mind. But your culture is so degraded, that you prefer to show protests and complaints. And thus it puzzles you why everyone, who hates gallentish culture, didn't show disrespect to owner.

Gallenteans think that only their culture has right to exists and try to enforce it, destroying others. It is according to gallentean stereotypes everyone behaved in this particular party like stereotypical gallentes, only because atmosphere in this party was close to one, that gallenteans used to. In fact, everyone just showed RESPECT to owner, like a proper guest should.

Gallenteans have troubles in understanding it, because if that party had something inacceptible to gallentish view, stereotypical gallente would outcry with whining protests and complaints.

And you reference to activities of the lower level. But do you know, what was the most disgusting? It was a gallentish child, visiting this party. Have you ever imagined, WHAT will grow out of her? But, after all, if this is a standard for gallentean...

Anyway, all cultures have right to exist, even those, that you don't accept, even if they allow slavery, even if they allow drugs, public nudity, or whatever else, that can be viewed as savagery from my or your point of view. Even your gallentish degraded "culture" has right to exist (provided it is well caged from outside civilised world).

But if you will dare to bring your gallentish narcotics or whatever filth to MY house, you will quickly find yourself laying helplessly on your back with my boot on you pretty galentish nose!
Dare? Go ahead and try!
Frog!

I do not consider myself especially Ammatar, but if it suits you better, then do it by all means. I do not really care. But now you mention the Ammatar, to begin with, didn't they choose to be... "infected" as you say, by another culture ?

I am not asking if you are threatened by other cultures, I was merely asking why people keep complaining that some cultures somehow "infect" their own, where the real culprits are probably their own kin that choose to convert to that so hated foreigner way of life. If people are not happy when their culture starts to disappear, to shift, to transform, to blend, or whatever else is a perfectly normal process when different cultures start to meet, then instead of choosing the usual scapegoat that is the other culture in question, they could ask themselves a few reasonable questions before hasting themselves in their views. I am also not suggesting that they should run witch hunts amongst their own people that are open to foreigner cultures a little too much to their tastes, but I am more suggesting that they should actually focus themselves on the culture they seek to protect and put some value on it to keep it alive, if really they care about it, and be explaining to people that the excesses they sometimes seem to go into are maybe not the best choice of their life. It is not by forging inter cultural wars that kind of issues will get resolved.

In any case, as far as I know, the Caldari and Minmatar cultures are well alive and definitly not threatened by extinction, so you will excuse me if I have a hard time to believe in the cultural plagues and pandemics you all speak about all the time. Cultural blending is a natural process that has always come with globalization, with its whole lot of pros and cons, and dangers that have to be minimized. Either that, or a full autarky, which has never leaded to anywhere. People always point in the direction of the Amarr Empire (for its forced cultural conversion) or the Gallente Federation (for its invasive mercantile culture), but you just have to take a look on almost every single border world in anyone of the four factions. The borderzone between the Amarr Empire and the Federation is quite interesting on the matter. People would think that the Amarr systems bordering the boundary are heavily influenced by the Federation's culture, but the reverse is also true. It is the same between different cultures everywhere as long as they are trading with each other, or accessing to the other's pieces of cultures. It is also the same on a bigger scale where people only see the gallente culture spreading everywhere in the cluster, where actually the Minmatar one for example is getting pretty popular in different regions, even if distorted, or misunderstood. Even the Sani Sabik faith has appeared in different shapes and colors in the Federation.

On another note, I am not sure why I would look ridiculous, and I hope it was not just yet another ad-hominem, the kind that are hold so dear on the IGS and the Summit. Anyway, no, I have not had the occasion to learn a lot about you considering how little I have spoken to you, so my apologies if something was misunderstood somewhere.

How typical, resort to violence.

You may not know me and I consider this a good thing, but I certainly know you. I've watched you spout venomous hatred and ignorant filth over these discussion forums time and again. I've watched you hurl one insult after another while heralding your own perceived superiority. I've watched you disintegrate otherwise intelligible conversation into ire-filled, degenerate propaganda.

I would suggest you take a piece of your own advice:
