Since it is clear neither of you wish for a discussion and are blatantly ignoring my questions then this conversation serves no purpose. If anyone else has any questions and would actually like to participate in a dialogue I welcome them. Other then that, this is finished.


Again Miss Polevhia, I answered your question. You simply did not like the response. And so you have snatched up your ball and stormed off towards home with your pants in a bunch.

No matter. Given past experience and the lack of demonstrable reward that actually comes from slaving yourself to Sansha Kuvakei it will probably only be a few months before your ego needs to be massaged once more and yet another 'Clarifications'-style vanity thread appears.

A'voir until then.

So glassing our planets you get a pass on, is that how it works?

Firstly, tu quoque or argument to hypocricy is a logical falacy. Citing the moral or logical failings of others is not a valid argument against one's own moral or logical failings.

Secondly, there's no reliable evidence of widespread "glassing" by coalition forces. This is an argument mainly used by Nation apologists who provide little further evidence to back it up. Coalition military action was mainly focused on spaceborne targets related to Nation's industrial backbone and military forces, because these were relevant targets. The civilians in Sansha's Nation - i.e. the True Citizens - were almost entirely irrelevant, since they were largely artists, scientists, architects, thinkers and other assorted intelligensia for whom the burden of menial labour and military service the True Slaves had been specifically created to alleviate in the first place. In point of fact, the civilians were even more irrelevant to the military of Sansha's Nation than they are in conventional societies.

Thirdly [link]:
GalNet Article: Sansha's Nation wrote:
Since the revelation of Sansha’s twisted experiments came out into the open, the Nation had lost most of its inhabitants. Only the fanatics and the True Slaves remained.

The vast majority of civilians had abandoned Nation before the coalition even launched its attack, and the True Slaves had no choice in the matter. The only individuals with personal agency who remained were people who were very much aware that they were engaged in support of a society that was engaging in widespread abuse of human rights and unethical scientific experimentation - I imagine their mindsets were not particularly different to your own.

So, the irrelevant canard of the coalition's own ethics aside, I ask you again - do you consider empire civilians to be inherently guilty of a crime that justifies ignoring their basic human rights and preferences? Yes or no.

Basic human rights vary from culture to culture. By your definition of basic human rights and preferences?

Yes.

Everyone stop the presses. Someone in this thread gave a straight and direct answer. We must all write this down in our diaries.

Not going to take sides or anything, but you haven't. You've missed the point she tried to made by miles and then, when asked again, stood there and watched it ride into the sunset.

I would like to state that with Ollie Rundle's logic I have proven the Amarrian Empire's loyalty to Sansha's Nation by flying in formation without being shot at by their military frigate. Thank you and have a nice day.

It is a peak of hypocrisy when Ixiris calls someone insane.

No, the peak of hypocrisy would be you calling someone a hypocrite....

Unfortunately you have done little to prove that loyalty to Sansha Kuvakei (from anyone) is rewarded, despite your bombastic assertions that it is. Do keep trying though. Failing unequivocal evidence to support your claim you do have an eternity to find out how to twist the right words into a fiction that will satisfy not only your own delusions but those of all the other desperate and fearful souls who might flock to his Nation's banner.

I do very much enjoy it when you make a response with a quote, that actually does nothing to address what you quoted. You skills at evading anything that doesn't fit with your preconceived notions of the Nation are rather stunning. You still seem stuck on these "rewards" and if you are really that worried look up Surin Efur and talk to him, he seems willing to work with just about anyone. I promise you that if you do what he asks, you will be rewarded.

Also, I must say you seem terrified at the thought of people thinking differently than you do, is it really so hard to understand that the Nation is not the abhorrent monster under your bed that you wish it to be?

In fact, only gallenteans and their bootlickers.
Add to them those, who work against the State and disrespect Tibus Heth, but that alone makes them gallentean bootlickers.

Good to know that the entire Caldari government is nothing more then Gallentean bootlickers. Roll

There is a fundamental reason for our inability to implement a system in which we can live in peace and happiness with ourselves, and few understand what the problem is. We want to be good and do well, but we can't find a way to change the basic nature within us that holds us in evil’s grip.

Is it in us to direct our own nature?

If so, then we should have done so long ago. Utopian ideas have always included restructuring our environment to effect a change in our nature. That man by controlling his environment will create for himself a better world by making a just system of government, engineering a fair social system, supplying all physical needs through an equitable economic system and even equitably redistributing space, hoping a better chance of somehow changing human nature for the better. This, of course, is the crux of the matter.

If man chooses to live without the benefit of the revealed knowledge, man is left to devise his own societies, civilizations and philosophies with the inevitable consequence visionaries will adopt the idea that the end justifies the means resulting in war and conquest to impose their visions upon less-enlightened people. Much tribulation has come on the world because true believers wanted to experiment with their view of the way the universe should be.

When man's nature is changed from within, man's environment will also change. When man's nature is changed from enmity toward Truth, to one that seeks it, only then will the ever-worsening problems of society change for the better, not the other way around.
