Oh I'm quite aware. I am just saying that our Tribe's spiritual matters have never interfered with our scientific endeavors or our technological prowess. There has always been room for both. It is odd to see such vitriol towards an integral part of our tribe and ways.
Is it just snark at a government you don't like, or is there something deeper that trouble you? |

So I can just talk without regard for others? Alright, let's play 'tourettes' for a bit.
I liked when Heth was in charge. I had a good job, and people actually thought I was cool for being a Provist and I felt pretty good about the ideal that we set. But now he's gone and the State means nothing anymore.
Now all the kids are going to grow up with no idea about work ethic, our rich culture will slowly be muscled out by the Quafe corporation, and all of our women are going to run off and marry brutors because despite the fact that I was grown in a gods damn test tube the State didn't have the forethought to give me a large enough penis!

And, if you are being grown in a test tube, that would mean you have all necessary appendages designed for optimal functioning. And, finally, as, unfortunately, being a woman myself, I could say you, that IF I wouldn't be that lucky and needed to... perform this function, I would choose appendage... you know... better SMALLER than bigger, okay?! In fact, I would prefer to do it by injection with syringe into my stomach instead of this silly filthy disgusting and painful... natural.. way. And I'd choose for this tiny tiny tiny VERY tiny needle. Okay? Okay.
AND NO MORE QUESTIONS. I AM NOT AFRAID OF THEM.

Pity Caldari women! It would be way easier if you could just go and buy yourself a Brutor. Right? And no need to run off, and marriage will stay intact. Life is so easier in the Kingdom!

Wait, what? I knew the State was into their patriotism, but I didn't realise they were quite so Facist as to ban interracial marriages. What counts as interracial anyway? Can a Civire marry a Deteis? Or a Deteis an Achuran? I think you might be letting your wishes get in the way of reality Kimmy.

Nothing wrong with being highly spiritual, as long as you don't let it mess with realities.

There are corporate authorities that provide matchmaking services and arrange marriage contracts directly. or authorize requests for the same. It's usually not out of love, but duty, a contractual obligation to provide the benefits of financial and job security as parents and married couples are afforded greater perks and privileges than those who remain single.
And yes, marriage between a Deteis and anyone else not Deteis would be considered an illegal and interracial marriage as most would define it in the State. And yes, most Megacorporations operate under Fascist principles at least under the ideals of political corporatism where the goal is to integrate the individual with society under a singular authority and control -- personal, familial, private, public, and at work. The individual is considered as a subsidiary element of the central body corporate.
There is a reason why the State produces so many independent military contractors -- it's about the only occupation in which you are afforded a degree of personal freedom outside the strictures of regular corporate life. Where you're expected to cultivate a degree of personal disrepute by contravening societal norms, and by breaking them, your own dubious reputation saves face for those you are bound to serve. It's tradition in a sense I suppose, those who once could not live under the protocols of Oriyoni, Fukuyima, or Raata would often serve a Warlord during times of peace by playing the bandits, rogues, and pirates against another House. |

So the State requires a marriage licence, do they ?
Is there a test ? A written theory test, followed by a practical assessment of marriage skills in an open environment ?

And also influence. The unfortunate reality is that arranged marriages within the Minmatar Tribes usually take into consideration the influence, power and wealth of the involved families, everything else being secondary. The ideal is that either the son or the daughter (really depends on Tribe) marries up the social ladder, while the other party suffers no disgrace from the arrangement.
I am sure this sounds familiar to quite a number of us.
As for the non-arranged marriages, well, the union is due to a myriad of reasons rather than the usual social and economic gain of the involved families. Regardless, there still needs to be a blessing from both parents and also the clan heads, and the union still must not lead to disgrace in the families of either parties. An unblessed marriage is usually seen as the road to hardship and, very likely, ruin.

How peculiar.
When I wanted to get married I had to seek out the permission of my company (Pyre Falcon) CEO and the pair of us had to travel to the Hall of Records and submit to genetic compatibility testing. There was also a practical assessment of marital skills in the form of an extended courtship and Mrs Tuulinen was the one who graded me on that.*
Having secured company permission and achieved a passing grade genetically and practically, the match was allowed to continue.
The precise value of family in the State is an interesting question. It is perfectly possible to prosper without the backing of a family unit and some even argue that it steals loyalty from the wider corporate consideration, on the other hand we're encouraged to do our ancestors proud and families boast of lineages of service to their communities and corporations.
(* - I'll allow you to privately speculate on the manner of that assessment. As well as the obvious it involved hand-to-hand combat training, mountain climbing and some other criteria)

Yes, sorry; I was unclear. With "family" here I meant "who are they and what's in it for us if we form/strengthen the alliance", roughly.

I may have had too much festive cider or somehing, but I have to report in this thread that I
...Just created a character in a Gallente Network Free-To-Play Game that is called "Societies War III", all that while being docked at Dodixie...
...The said character is a member of a species of sexless sapient plants, that are vaguely modelled after humans, because the mother plant of the said species from which all the drone plants that are the players come from grew up on a grave of a human being...
...The said character has a pet jellyfish...
...That I named after Annabella Rella. That is, the pet digital jellyfish of my imaginary sapient hunter plant is named Rella, and I experience perverse joy while hunting undead with it.
Derp. On the other hand, someone please close this thread because it may inspire people to actually bicker in it! |
