Originally by: Rytha Main It is ironic how you call "false god" when you come from a society of many different idols and divergent belief systems which can not all be true.
They neither need or require to be 'true', as you put it. The whole tapestry of Matari traditions, lore and customs are so rich, diverse and yes .. innately beautiful ...that you, if you were to be exposed to a concentrated burst of how it actually feels to have the raw strength of the Brutor, or the beguiling sure-footedness of the Krusual pump freely within your veins --why, it might overload your frigid monochromatic psyche in milliseconds. You and your kind would not cope.
Clammy-cold granite and dreary lime-stone, are you. In the dank charcoal-black caves where your mind dwells, you truly belong. We as a free people, by comparison, are as rare gems -multi-faceted, splendid and priceless due, in part, to the rich-ness of our many customs and the variety of them.
Unlike mere inert metals, however, all Free Matari are alive. We feel alive. This is the only 'truth' that matters. You cannot understand.
Congratulations and respect to the Murie boys and all of the TLF.

Originally by: Rodj Blake Au contraire, things have changed. Lord Kor-Azor is now a totally reformed man and his earlier excesses have ceased.
Aritcio Kor-Azor is living proof that Amarrian justice works.
If you honestly believe that Aritcio is a reformed man, rather than just the same sociopath he was previously, having just learnt to be a little bit more careful about how he expresses it, you obviously know nothing of criminal psychopathology or human nature in general. There is not one historical instance prior to Aritcio where prolonged, systematic torture has produced a sane, psychologically stable individual.
Originally by: Rodj Blake I'm sorry, but I wasn't aware that you had been involved in the discussions held by the Privy Council and the Theology Council. Because you see, they were held behind closed doors.

Originally by: Lyn Farel would be glad if you did not associate me with such pseudo rhetorics.
Tough. If you don't wish to be included in discussions regarding the Amarr Empire, forswear your allegience to it and formally disavow your belief in the God it serves.
Being included in discussions regarding the Empire is not the point. |

No, there really aren't. She "died" in a capsule - you were actually present at this event, as I recall. Hundreds of capsuleers do every day what she has done precisely once, and lo and behold, you call it a miracle. Jamyl Sarum - chosen of God she is certainly not, but I will hand it to her she does have an unmatched and enviable ability for duplicitous theatrics. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

Well so much for an attempt at humor. I'm beginning to think you don't like me, Andreus dear.

You have physical evidence of this?
This is quite a separate topic from that of this thread, however. If you have issues with Jamyl perhaps start your own thread, I'm sure the rest of the Imperials would be excited to hear your insightful thoughts on the matter.

I did not threaten you, Ixiris. Unlike many of the troglodytes here, most anyone who knows me, friend of foe, can vouch that I NEVER make claims or threats that I do not back up. There is far too much of that on the summit as is. I take exceedingly specific care to say precisely what I mean, and to make no threats unless they will be carried out, or boast no claims unless they will actually be accomplished. In other words if I WERE threatening you - you would know it; because I would be shooting at you, succeed or fail as God wills.
And I ask again, you have physical evidence of Jamyl's 'death?' You recovered a body from the wreckage? You have sampled the DNA of that body?

That would have made her ineligible to be Empress.
Since she is now Empress, she cannot be a clone.

Not nearly as bad as, say, repeatedly dismembering a person on national television.
I assume that you're referring to Aritcio Kor-Azor?
Hmmm, I don't know... he could be talking of the public torture and execution of Anvent Eturrer?

Not our finest moment, certainly, but we didn't repeatedly dismember the man, you see - we at least had the mercy to leave him dead after the first time we killed him. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

Originally by: Public execution on Gallente Prime On the vidscreens, Eturrer's body dismantled itself in an orgy of immolation. His skin bubbled, reddened, smoked and burst; his hair self-alit, and his bones bulged and rippled as tumors and other malignant growths forced themselves through the soft flesh of his organs and tore their way to freedom. Eturrer's mouth opened to let Eturrer's voice through, but his screams were lost in the crowd.
Hmmhmm?? Yes... very merciful...
We could learn from you guys!

Originally by: Public Dismemberment of Aritcio Kor-Azor Using an electric scalpel, the surgeon slowly and methodically cut off pieces of Aritcio's skin. The Heir's blood was immediately sucked up by a proliferation of plastic tubes that fed it into a dialysis machine, from where it was pumped back into his body.
No anaesthesia was applied. The Heir had a rubber mouth guard affixed to his mouth with leather straps, and bit down on it with such force that veins stood out in his forehead. With each cut there was a raspy noise that onlookers had at first thought to be disturbance in the audio section of the broadcast, but turned out to be the Heir's hoarse voice, screams that got no further than his throat.
Sometimes the doctors would use lasers, so as to immediately cauterize the wounds, but since lasers also killed nerves, the public had deemed it grossly unsatisfactory. Scalpels were now the tool of choice.

I believe in the Federation Kor-Azor would have died of old age, while the senate endlessly tried to reach a 2/3 majority vote on the proper scalpel to use. Taking into account of course, the emotional needs of the scalpels, and weather their universal rights and freedoms as scalpels were being respected, etc.
I found Kor-Azor's punishment quite fair and Just. While you might find it cruel, it actually was quite inspiring to many of us, showing that the Law applies to all of us in our own way, in every facet of our society.

What emotions do you feel when a corrupt politician is brought to your justice? Or when a Federal criminal is publicly executed? Do you cry and moan about the tragedy of it? Or do you feel proud of your society for justice being served?

Originally by: Silas Vitalia What emotions do you feel when a corrupt politician is brought to your justice?
Our corrupt politicians are generally stripped of their titles and put in prison. This I feel satisfaction about. Torturing a man clearly unfit to rule and then leaving him in his former position is not justice. It's barbarity.
Originally by: Silas Vitalia Or when a Federal criminal is publicly executed?
Eturer's execution was a debacle, the last, desperate gasp of Foiritan's rule. It was neither indicative of the Federation as a whole, nor was it satisfying. I would have prefered they had just left a pill in his cell so he could end the problem himself quickly and quietly. The way he died was abhorent because it made us just a little bit more like you. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

I agree. At least our way leaves room for the atonement of a soul. It is common knowledge that Aritcio has come full circle and is now a benevolent man of faith. I for one was inspired, as you said.
While we concern ourselves with the turning of a man, the federalists would sooner rid themselves of a menace once and for all without regard to the eternal state of his soul. That is their prime failure. If we are wrong, then the sufferings inflicted by our hand are in this life only. But if the federalists are wrong, then they damn a person to a Godless eternity.

It is difficult arguing with a simpleton like Mr. Ixiris. He can not understand a society where reality is grounded in absolutes. The relativstic concept of "justice" to a Gallentean changes day to day and in accordance with their own agendas.
