Congratulations to the people of the Republic. You have proven to be exactly what some of us have known you to be for so long. Rabid cattle to put chains on, and to sell to your betters to do as they please.
That's a nice thing to say about your ceo. |

Two points to consider next time you feel like being clever and tripping over yourself; He is not part of people of the Republic is he? My comment was not about race you nitwit.
You forgot to write the second point

The first sentence is a question leading up to the point.
The second sentence is the point.
There is no second point.
Furthermore "people of the Republic" the CEO in question has twice been a "member of the Republic," once as a member of Republic Military School, and once as a member of Sebiestor Tribe. So, a "rabid cattle who should be chained" has turned out to be Mr Pryce's better.
Have a nice day ma'am
PS - The "it's not racial" excuse hasn't worked in quite some time |

The first is a rhetorical question - you know, a question that is a statement in and of itself; only asked to make a point and not meant to be answered - stating that his CEO is not part of the Republic, and that your comment about his CEO is therefore irrelevant.
The second is that his comment has nothing to do with Matari as a whole, but the Republic specifically.
If you're going to resort to attacking people's grammar, you've clearly run out of valid arguments and are just spinning your wheels in the mud.
Furthermore, having RMS or a Tribe on your employment record is a CONCORD requirement for when you are not employed by a capsuleer-run organization. It is not a valid statement of 'membership' and should not be construed as such.
Ma'am,
A statement broken down into 2 parts does not constitute 2 statements.
Furthermore specifically he said two "points," a point is an idea that one is trying to convey. We received one idea (that the CEO is not part of the Republic hence its not about race.) There is no second point.
It is well understood that the above is mere sophistry, nobody really cares if it's 1 point or 2 points, but it goes to discredit the original idea, which was more sinister.

"People of the Republic" = "Rabid cattle to put chains on, and to sell to your betters to do as they please."
We can ignore the second part describing the "what" and focus on the "who."
"People of the Republic"
"People" and "the Republic" can mean different things, could mean people born in the Republic, could mean "Republicans" (altho why would one would say "people of the Republic" rather than "Republicans" which is shorter and more concise) could mean people living in the Republic, or just visiting. We don't know.
"of"
of (v, v; v when unstressed)
prep.
1. Derived or coming from; originating at or from: customs of the South.
*truncated for brevity, the rest of the definition :http://www.thefreedictionary.com/OF
So we get :
People derived, coming from, originating at or from, the Republic = "cattle to put chains on, and to sell you to your betters to do with as they please."
I won't draw a conclusion, to avoid more sophistry, feel free to understand it however you prefer. |

I would be interested in seeing how long Cipher's argument holds water with the Republic loyalists among our numbers.
Miss,
No offense intended. Apologies. |

Born of the Republic he may be. But that's not the relevant context here; I think you know that, and at this point are blowing words just for the sake of being contrary.
Well no, I'm blowing words because I felt the statement is an attack on me.
No idea why you're blowing words.
Still new to how things work around here, apparently you don't have to be polite, as long as you understand how to tactfully schit on people (which I don't, silly me.)
Oh well, see you round. |
