Ello all
I am a pacifist and a miner by trade, do you think there is room in Eve's galaxy for honest workers like Me?
There's always room for a capsule pilot who's willing to work.

Every place I look poeple are killing and being killed, and this is being encouraged be the cloning corp's.
I see that I can't stop people killing its due to there genetic failings, and the cloning corp's know this but do nothing to stop it why?
You might as well ask why an ammunition manufacturer sells ammunition, instead of banding together with other ammunition manufacturers to simply choke off the supply and end the killing.
The easy answer is that if they stopped, someone would simply pick up where they left off and reap the benefits of brisk business.

Because to do so would put them out of work.
So I ask you is there any little corner of Eve's galaxy that I could call home and does not smell of death in my minds eye.

No. As long as ships make purdy 'splosions, and people like fireworks, they will blow things up, especially because the availability of cloning technology makes it virtually risk free for the capsule pilot personally.
I feel for the poor crews of these vessels (and their families) who die in every explosion, with no clone. It's permadeath for them.
It's amazing that for every crew member you lose, there's 10 more in line at the nearest station to take his place. God rest their souls.

My opinion in no way represents that of my corp or anyone I am associated with, and is probably entirely wrong. |

[justify]Hmmm, a pacifist is something of a rarity in the Eve Universe. Holding a pacifist ideology is a hard thing to do; however, it does not necessarily mean that you are barred in putting a different definition in the word "Pacifism." The universe is infinite, and so does that concepts that influence human understanding.

Pacifist? Is that like when you have sex with an Intaki girl and she just lays there face down with her head in the pillow? Because if that's what you're talking about then I'd say there is a place for you in my galaxy. And by that, I mean my bed.

There is plenty of room for you in the Universe. After all, miners are needed everywhere! I'm in need of one in fact. (Contact me if you want to join my corp).

If I can get one other to stop killing and they do the same I will be happy.

It has been a long time since I have visited this thread, and still today I have the same question -
Is there any little corner of Eve's galaxy that I could call home and does not smell of death in my minds eye.
Has anyone found such a place in Eve's galaxy?

Pacifism does not suit any man named Agemmemnon.
In fact, war and death seem to follow him around. Call it Fate, mate.
p.s. Don't get attached to your daughter, make sure your son loves you more than his mother, and absolutely keep that mind's eye or whatever other extra eye you have on your wife, especially when you have your back turned. Just friendly advice.

To the OP:
Pacifism is more than "not fighting" I think. It means to be willing to sacrifice for a peaceful life, to deny the obvious solution as it conflicts with your ideals. It means to endure the opposition of others without attacking them for it and instead lead by example. It means to strife for a world without injustice and to boycot the use of violence for one's egoistic goals.
You do nothing of that. You are not willing to give up anything for your ideal of a peaceful world. You want to live as a pod pilot and have all the advantages but don't want to take the negative effects that come with it.
You process minerals without caring what is made from them while knowing perfectly well that half of them is used for war machinery. You attack others for they choose to approach problems on a more violent level and call them genetically defective. I don't think you are a Pacifist at all in the true sense of the word.
There is a simple way of leading a peaceful life. Settle down planetside, grow the things that you need, live on peacefully to the rest of your life. You cannot have butter without milking the cow.
One more thing to add as I see the tribal marks on your face. When your people suffer the life of a pacifist is not an honourable one. Ignoring their pain means supporting the ones who cause them. There is no honourable way to lead a peaceful life as long as your people are suffering.

I would add when any people suffer under the yoke of an oppressor pacifism is a sad refuge from reality.

A)There will always be the struggle between good and evil.
B)To be a pacifist is to accept that you will never actively belong to either, and thus, always be subject to one or the other.
C)Only those willing to fight can truly forge their own way in this world, unless your way doesn't mind dying.
A) The struggle is no longer balanced. With clones being used, good and evil are no longer turning within the same cycle.
B) To be a pacifist is do be part of the cycle of life and not death its the counter balance to killing without the will to stop
C) To forge your way through this life is to force others to your why of life dictated by your genetic and social heritage.
Your reasoning is not sound and sadly blinkered.

I bring thee Pax
it seems you suffer from a error of logic, it seems you think death is evil, and life is good.
yes murder and the like are evil but death itself is not inherently evil.
likewise life itself can be preverted to serve evil.
instead look to life and death as one cycle that those good,evil and otherwise can use for their purposes.
I admire your wish to find a refuge against what is a seemingly unescapable fate of conflict, but fear your wish to do so may lead to dissappointment.
I can only offer this as a fellow intaki,
"any advancement is an inherently iterative process. One does not simply take sand from the beach and produce a Datacore. We use crude tools to fashion better tools, and then our better tools to fashion more precise tools, and so on. Each minor refinement is a step in the process, and all of the steps must be taken."
let peace be your destination and the cycle of life and death the means to get there

I fear there is no place for peace in this universe.
Don't believe the Amarr. They cannot bring peace.
I'm sorry but at least you have clones.
