It is Written, in the Apocryphon, that All may become Chosen, that All people are Equal in Gods Kingdom.

Everyone says that I'm suposed to be smart and good with machines, but I'm not. Is that bad? Is that being dishonest? I'd love the be brave, strong and an excellent pilot, I really would! But right now I'm just content of being able to afford a research laboratory filled with gadgets and gizmos for me to play with and a ship to fly in. And I got to meet so many people in the meantime.

Like Mister Nauplius for example. He is a mean monster, that says he hates me for being born the way I am, but I don't hate him or even dislike him. He is very passionate with his scriptures and preaching, however, but he could use more friends. I'd be more friendly to him if he didn't thought of it as an insult.

Miss Kim on the other hand, is the coolest pilot I know and I want to be just as cool as her! She takes no nonsense from anyone, loves the people she protects and upholds their way of life! Like a superhero! Everyone thinks she is wierd and overzealous though, and like to make fun of her way of thinking. I don't think that's very nice...

But I figure if everyone I meet in space is on top of the transhumanism pyramid, being quirky and passionate about their lives and activities is the only way we can stand out as individuals. And that's okay! We should accept everyone for what they are, even if we think what they do is wrong.

I was slightly touched by this sentiment. For a second or two.

I guess the ugly looking minmatar slave has a point...

Nah.

The cultural and historical choices made by some groups have made them reviled, so they are subject to scorn and ridicule for being monstrous slavers. I look forward to the day when that curse no longer exists in New Eden and all the slavers have all been reformed or eliminated. Our state has made a tragic misstep in siding with this malignant evil that seems to be infecting the pure soul of the Caldari people. We need to stand for freedom, ours and for everyone else also.

This is the worst crap I ever heard so far from "Caldari" person.
Being so much brainwashed by gallentean "anti-slavery" propaganda is simply disgusting.
Such weakness must not be tolerated!
I hope you will die soon and dishonor you brought on your family will be washed with your blood, and your name will be erased from family archives.

I can picture your DNA readout next to your picture hanging on the walls of genetic facilities all over Caldari space with a sign that reads GÇ£KEEP A SOBER WORK PLACE, WE DO NOT WANT TO MAKE ANY MORE OF THESE!GÇ¥

I don't know, Diana Kim's killboard is pretty good; the Caldari authorities may be thinking, "if we had a couple hundred more of these, then the Federation wouldn't last a month".

We could, at least, form a multilateral board of peer review for evaluating the intellectual honesty of IGS posts. While this wouldn't prevent the sort of behavior the original poster was complaining about, we might encourage a slight shift in discourse by rewarding contributors with some unofficial recognition.

Surely there are pilots with the time to do this.

While such a thing does not exist at the moment, there are some Galnet channels which are intended to function similarly. For instance, I am connected to the Amarr-aligned channel, and I understand a Minmatar variant exists as well.

Democracies are hypocrisies and ineffective, tribalism are primitive and heavily influenced by irrational emotions, only people that realise these can be considered a person of intellect.
But it is clear that there are exceptions to every social stereotype, like not all Gallentes are hypocrites, and not all Minmatars are impulsive monsters.

The Amarrians though, I think we need to consider them as aliens. Like a horde of angry old aliens.

Many Caldaris are sympathetic to the 'democratic' federation, as such it can be derived that even amongst us there's the usual degenerates.

There is no singular 'perfect' or 'superior' governmental system (except the law of Claudia). Just as how there is no such thing as a perfect automation system, a perfect power grid, a perfect locomotive system or a perfect integrated circuit system. Everything ever devised by human hands and minds will always have a flaw somewhere that needs to be identified and planned for.

However, what works, works. It can always use some improvement, because even if it works most of the time it still isn't perfect. It still has flaws or it can be made to work better. However, unless more of us can bring ourselves to swallow our pride and admit that everything we devise is not perfect, is flawed and can be made better can we start actually making steps forward as a species.

This.

Tsk tsk, all this rage. You all need to sit down, pop a few boosters and play some cards. Chillmode engage.

Heathens, let me enlighten you on this.

"So the Lord sent forth the Chosen,
to bring forth the light of faith
And those who embrace his love
Shall be saved by his grace
For we are his shepherds in the darkness
His Angels of Mercy.
But those who turn away from his light,
And reject his true word
Shall be struck down by his wrath
For we are his retribution incarnate
His Angels of Vengeance"
- The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 4:45

We, God's chosen, were sent to redeem the various races. But many turned us away when we peacefully offered them a chance at salvation from their eternal damnation.

In the beginning everyone was equal, but chaos and blasphemy ensued. True Amarrs lived by God's side and were chosen to rule the world. So no, there is no equality between the races anymore. We True Amarrians are superior to all else.

I would like to challenge all those who speak here on IGS to meet the minimum standard of intellectual honesty when posting about groups of people that are GÇ£otherGÇ¥ than themselves, to apply all the rights, privileges, capacity, and humanity they attribute to themselves to the GÇ£othersGÇ¥ equally. If that standard is met I think it will elevate the overall conversation here on IGS.

Denied. Your fantasy book proves nothing, all people are equal in the eyes of Claudia. It is your actions and attitude that I shall judge you on when the time comes.

It's the Sebiestor Plot.
