To most of the cluster and most capsuleers with a modicum of common sense the disputed factional-warfare 'territory' is the backwater, idiot.

Maybe you dont understand the anger at having 1/3 of you people enslaved, no doubt you cant comprehend it being amarrian. but the constant knowledge that 1/3 of your race is toiling under unfavourable circumstances, and as i write this large percentages of the remaining heritage of my people are being brainwashed, or subjugated, its hard to put down our arms until this is rectified, for me, impossible.

The matari people displaced by the recent fighting are being helped as much as the republic can do so, myself being in the military arm of the organization, am better suited to protecting the space they are moving into, by force, each arm of the organization has its purpose mine is warfare, a duty im more than happy to carry out.

Not only is this a massive strategic victory but it means the complete destruction of enemy morale. one final step closer to total victory, one final step closer to no enemy to fight :/

My vast wealth will be invested into ensuring more slaves are freed and brought back into the fold, if you believe the republic to be that poor that it cannot care for its own people without the help of a capsuleers finances, your sadly mistaken. (the fact my entire income is paid for by the republic should tell you that your assumption is false).

Last i checked best place to start an arguement with an alliance member is in public, welldone.

I would suggest turning your attention inward and using a portion of your, no doubt not insubstantial, wealth and assets to provide for the planetside populations within the Republic and the space you've recently wrested. I know it can be a daunting task to try and focus on something other than endless combat, pillaging, murdering and raping; but I do encourage you to try it.

My, for someone who's supposedly got a grudging respect for the Minmatar people and someone who wants to appear as a reasoned and calm voice you've written a lot of racist stereotypes in that paragraph. Care to explain yourself, pilot?

What's a bible?

Seems like nobody in this thread has had their crew telling them "crud, the clothes washer is busted and we won't be able to fix it 'til we hit station" while you're out in the depths of Anoikis...still managed to accomplish the mission, though, even if everyone needed extended hot showers and brand-new clothes afterwards.

I believe you've taken my statement as if it were intended for all Minmatar, it was not. It was quite pointedly aimed at the one individual whom I quoted and I fail to see where it was racially charged.

Also, I do not believe I've ever claimed a desire to appear as a reasoned and calm voice. I am simply who I am and there is nothing more to it. I do try to be reasonable and calm but I admit I can become frustrated and speak in error, I am far from perfect. I also admit that my words were overly harsh as I've been very frustrated today with a number of things.

The activities listed have occurred in the past but I should not have attributed them to the present without substantial proof of them and should not have accused this individual pilot of them. For that, I was in error and I extend my apologies (for what little they're worth). The original claim that I would suggest diverting attention inward and helping planetside populations remains, however.

so you made the assumption i pillage **** and murder? (also taking my post from outside a roleplaying forum and using it in a roleplaying forum is stupid as hell)

Confirming i am correcting you because you are wrong.

Slavery isn't always easy, but it does the slaves good in the long run. Bondage is temporary, salvation is eternal.

Unfortunately the Republicans don't have a very good record when it comes to looking after refugees. Forced to live in squalor, subject to the rule of lawless mobs, is it so surprising that so many of us think that they're better off as slaves? (snip)

You and your ilk keep repeating this line and I'd like to know what facts you have to support it. If conditions were so horrid in the Republic as you contend, why then aren't people leaving en masse? Where are the Scope reports detailing these lawless mobs running roughshod over local police and military units? Why are people leaving the Federation to rejoin their brothers and sisters in the Republic?

Are you kidding me?? Gods dammit no wonder people hate your kind.

Take a look at the billions of Ni-Kunni in the Empire. Each and every one of them are descended from slaves. Would they be better off living in the mess that we found their ancestors in? Would there even be a Ni-Kunni race if we hadn't rescued them from their primitive state?

You enslaved them and forced your culture on them you dome headed God-Lover. You killed a culture that could have thrived. You forced it on them and pushed them into slavery until they recited every damn verse of your scriptures with perfect candor. Good little drones for your nut job Empress.

Aaah yes, the old ad hominem approach.

Yes we forced them to do things. It was for their own good. Consider a child. Sometimes its parents have to force it to do things, or force it to not do things. For its own good.

Getting things back on topic, the Ni-Kunni are in general both neater and tidier now.

Producing credentials which verify your right to make that statement would lend more credit to your argument.
