You seem to be under the impression that the Amarr have some unique divine mandate for oppressing people. Power gives us that mandate. There is nothing holy or cultural about it.
The free market owes nothing to the idea of upholding Amarr cultural restrictions. The free market belongs to no single Empire, and it would be a toxic precedent to bend to some poorly defined, arbitrary social moray that only the vocal elements from a single faction care about.

Samira Kernher wrote:How dare you accuse this of being a facade. What undesirable results could possibly arise from going back to the trade restrictions that we maintained without issue before the SCC was spawned? What was wrong with the original trading laws, like the Gallente-Amarr Free Trade Agreement? Under those policies, trade goods were strictly controlled and only Holders and licensed representatives were allowed to engage in business with foreign traders. Those policies preserved our cultural values, they upheld our religious principles. The liberal economics of the last few decades have ruined all of that. Maybe Amarr is making more money as a result, but it is the Deceiver's money.
Forgive me for actually caring about our traditions. Forgive me for asking that Scriptural laws be held above secular foreign ones. Forgive me for actually caring about what happens to the people I came from. Then I take it, you are content with how this debacle was handled so far? Made in to this public parade for all to see, turned into shame and blame crusade, involving people who shouldn't have a say in such matters.
Did you consider how none capsuleers holders and high-ranking ministers, officers etc will see this petition? Do you want to see unrest and turmoil in your own home? And what if your petition will go unanswered, do you even comprehend how you are making MIO and Trade Registry look? Does it not raise any concerns that after "signing" this petition of yours some amarr capsuleers were erased from the face of universe?
If you truly care about traditions and the Empire, then don't be so naive and shortsighted.
And please don't compare your "thing" with Gallente-Amarr Free Trade Agreement; it was made internally, by the right people, without outsiders pushing for their agenda.

As a new capsuleer who earns a relatively lucrative source of stable income transporting slaves purchased via the SCC market I can not support this petition.
I would ask how those in opposition propose that the transport of slaves be accomplished without the market acting as intermediary between capsuleer transports and holders through out imperial and Khanid controlled space. |

As a new capsuleer, I have to say that I detest other new capsuleers that are unable to find lucrative sources of income that do no include unnecessary transport and unauthorized resale of slaves.
The Empire lives and breathes by a very specific set of rules, and opposing those rules is as futile as opposing God's will. |

Shouldn't minmatars rather welcome free slave trade so they can just buy them back? Or they are just puny warmongers, who use cultural difference of the Empire (slavery as cultural institution) to make their excuse to wage war against them? |

Signed, strictly for the purposes of ending the institution overall, rather than, I am sorry to say, because of a belief in the rights of the Holders. I know it is unlikely to ever end within the Empire, but taking steps to curtail it outside of Imperial territory is a good start.

There's nothing particularily horrible about slavery. If one finds themselves a slave, they should perhaps consider why God is pissed off at them, quite frankly. They've probably been little a**holes. |

Ok, granted I've been out of the loop for a few years.
Given my previous status as a slave of the Empire, I would like to just put here the last official statement I remember from the Ministry of Internal Order:
"1) It is not illegal for capsuleers to transport slaves as cargo within the Empire. 2) It is not illegal for Holders to place their slaves on the open market within the Empire. 3) The SCC-controlled and maintained interstellar marketplace is considered a legal open market by the Empire due to CONCORD treaties. 4) It is not illegal for individuals of all social standing within the Empire to purchase goods and services off an open market. 5) The SCC does not mandate any restrictions based on social standing on any transactions that occur on its interstellar marketplace.
"I can only comment on the base legality of the situation, but am unable to provide commentary on the social, moral, or ethical implications of capsuleers of non-Holder birth who own slaves." -Grand Inquisitor Ohrud Omel.
Quoted with all due respects. Apologies if I've missed any official Imperial change since this was written (YC: 115).
If you have a problem with Slavery and open markets, take it up with CONCORD. Amarr doesn't hold a monopoly on the market and every other government signed off on this.
It should also be noted that slavery is different in Khanid, but the above regulations with the SCC are equally binding.

What is binding is Scripture, and Scripture defines that only Holders have spiritual authority to own slaves.
And Amarr does hold the monopoly. No other nation has any right to engage in the practice.

What is binding Lieutenant, is Scripture as defined by the Theology Council. The Ministry of Internal Order deals with individuals who do not follow the Council's definitions. I do not think it is a very wise move to suggest that you know Scripture better than a Grand Inquisitior.
You are also incorrect in that Amarr holds a monopoly on legal slave trade. Khanid is a sovereign signatory on the referenced treaties.
I sincerely hope you will take a moment to deeply consider not responding to this thread any further.
