I have been viewing these archives for a while now, and I have formed a hypothesis. One that I desperately hope is incorrect. But still, in the interest of proper experimentation, I shall put it to the test.
My challenge, fellow capsuleers of New Eden, is for each of you to make four statements, one each describing the people of the Amarr, Minmatar, Caldari, and Gallente. There is a restriction for these descriptions: a member of that people must be able to wholly approve of that statement, with no objections given nor offense taken.
Seem easy? Think again. I predict that nobody will be able to give four statements that fulfill that restriction.
Ready to prove me wrong? We gazed up to the stars and decided that they should belong to us, so we rose up and claimed-áthem. We gazed upon immortality and decided that it should belong to us...so we reached out...and took-áit. |

Yes, because every Federate is the same? Every Amarr? Every Minmatar? Every Caldari?
Nope. This is stupid. |

Wow, Laurentis has already brought up one of the points I was going to bring up after a few people attempted. Well done.
Yes, one of the reasons I predict that this is impossible is that people are by their nature as people very different from each other. This makes it difficult to not only find something that equally applies to everyone of a particular group without offending someone, but also difficult for people to take the challenge at all seriously. This results in a belittling of attempts to find such statements with declarations that they are a "waste of time" or "stupid" instead of making an attempt of one's own.
I am still interested in being proven wrong, so let's see what happens. We gazed up to the stars and decided that they should belong to us, so we rose up and claimed-áthem. We gazed upon immortality and decided that it should belong to us...so we reached out...and took-áit. |

Interesting challenge Osiris...
The Amarr say... "God says I must kill you my brother..."
The Minmatar say... "You have killed my brother, now I must kill you"
The Caldari say... "I can see you two are engaged in killing... can I sell either of you two weapon systems or naval vessels?"
The Gallente say... "Why are you guys killing each other?? You guys are sick! Instead we should all join hands and sing 'Kumbaya'...." Insanity is not hubris, not pride; it is inflation of the ego to its ultimate - confusion between him who worships and that which is worshipped. Man has not eaten God; God has eaten man.

If I had a brother and he was stupid enough to get himself killed....... that's his problem, though I'd still probably return the favor anyways...

The Gallente have democracy. The Minmatar have Tribes. The Amarr are religious. The Caldari like merit.
Do I win?

Wow, I hadn't looked at it quite that way. Whoops.
Anyways, I see that many people are finding creative ways to complete this challenge. It looks like my hypothesis is close to being contradicted. We gazed up to the stars and decided that they should belong to us, so we rose up and claimed-áthem. We gazed upon immortality and decided that it should belong to us...so we reached out...and took-áit. |

The Gallente thinks everyone else is too stiff. The Caldari thinks everyone else is not stiff enough. The Minmatar are still arguing with each other over what they think of everyone else. The Amarr thinks everyone else should shut up and listen to the preacher. |

That, sir, is not wholly accurate.
I, as an Amarrian, did indeed get an Impairor upon my initiation into the world of the capsuleer. But I did not fly it. I got into it, dragged it out, and was shot to pieces before I knew what an energy turret was -- never mind the fact that I had one to begin with.
However, even though my part-time capsuleer career has not been a very long one, my skills have grown. I no longer crash ships or haul them out to be podded by the nearest malignant force. I fly them, and bring God's justice to the nearest low-born pirate scum out there. |

Okay, let me try this game.
Amarr are religious and devoted to God. Caldari are children of Raata. Gallente are those, who bombed Caldari Prime, who downed CN Shiigeru on Caldari Prime, who occupied Caldari Prime and many planets in Black Rise, who rammed peace conference in Malkalen, who torture Caldari POWs in hidden prisons in Black Rise and who prefer democracy and individualism instead of working for the good of many. And Minmatars are just tribals.
No offense? No objections, I hope?... |
