I think you're all insane. That's right. All of you. I'm painting with a broad brush - a paint roller, even. I'm slathering paint all over the place right now. Because you're all crazy, and it's driving me crazy, which in turn makes all of you seem even crazier, which drives me to some infinite loop of ever-increasing nuttiness that I don't even care to pretend has a quantifiable value.
All I ever hear about is crazy nonsense. People enslaving other people, people killing other people, people mind-borking other people... I think you loons have been spending too much time in your pods and not enough time planetside. Get some air that hasn't been artificially recycled! It does wonders for the body and mind, really. It does, and it doesn't cost a thing!
What kind of depraved person doesn't take the time to stare at funny rocks and make wierd sounds with makeshift grass flutes? Or spend an entire afternoon running barefoot in a muddy field?! We're talking about the essence of life here, have a little respect, you know? I mean, maybe I'm just crazy (maybe), but I think the dotted darkness is sucking us all in. It's like, we're spiritual chameleons, and we've always got the void to our back, so everything inside is turning black with holes.
Lunatics - I just wear the black on the outside. Roll over and cough that junk up.
And eat some candy. Candy is good for you.

I think you have been using too much Frentix Boosters personally.
You might want to check yourself into the Academies Drug treatment center.
Hope you get better soon.

Stims are for suckers. If you can't hack it, you can't hack it! Find another job! Boosters... honestly, I've never been so insulted. Maybe you should try slamming your head against something that isn't submerged in insulating liquid. It hurts!
Some people are thinkers, some people are shooters. Some people are boring, and some people are dangerously attractive. Moi? Latter, and latter.

I disagree.
He's free to express himself as he wants, he's free to go running naked in the grass if he wants to.
there are too many who don't have that freedom.

Planetside life is a thing of the past. Nothing gets done in the gravity well of a lump of rock terraformed to pack people onto. It is nothing but a circular prison that our technology finally allowed us to escape. Granted, there are certain beauties planetside which are quite worth enjoying - but that is all they are worth, simple enjoyment. Addictions to planetside life represent nothing more than a form of archaic homesickness - that somehow we belong more with ground beneath our feet than the hulls of our vessels.
Progress, is in space. The galaxy changes in space. A boundless place without any restrictions - be it gravity or any of the structures we have forced ourselves into over the ages and are only beginning to break free of.
Anything planetside can be but an artificial construction of openness and freedom that any capsuleer can experience - if they so choose - anywhere in space on a daily basis.

I understand your concerns Vicarrah, however Kazuma has chosen his path among the Ebon Seraph. As such it is my responsibility to guide him.
His duty and ability to express himself is not in question.
Such debates often degenerate into insane and barbaric comments. This leading to public humiliation's for all concerned.
I merely reminded that he need not lower his standards among the insane.

Debating the insane can be rather intriguing. Try it sometime.

Eggers in general, I should think.
Certainly not pirates, ambitious heretics, zealous paramilitarists, mercs, militant post-humanists, and any other standard fare in this Summit.

i'll send a few psychiatrists your way, that might help.

Charsi, it seems you have lost your way with God. Running through fields of green and breathing the fresh air is all well and good, but without faith in God, all these things are meaningless and ultimately only a quick fix solution to your troubled soul.
Walk with God and breathe the real air.

(Dotard walks to a dusty old box hidden under his pod. Blows the dust off and opens it. "Passed down thru countless generations of my family." he states as he pulls an old revolver out of the box. He fumbles around the box and finds the one and only bullet for it in existance. He loads the round in the pistol, sets the barrel against Ash'el Zeal's head, and pulls the trigger.
As Ash'el Zeal's body slumps to the floor, Dotard returns the revolver to it's box and says one word..... "Fixed".

The funny thing is Dotard, I've never met you, and I've definitely not been in your pod getting shot at by your primitive weapon. Pods aren't made for two I'm afraid.
A bold claim indeed, but false none the less.
Nice story though.

I tend to take a walk with him when I have the time and opportunity to go planetside, he's one cute, fluffy little thing on a leash. Cant say he makes air more real than it already is though.

On the contrary. Planetside is still where we'd belong if we didn't have duties elsewhere. In space, everything you can find freely on a planet is something that has to be fought for, by tooth and claw.
Air, Water, Ground to stand on, roofs above our heads, heat, food and even gravity. All of those things are available almost without effort on any terraformed planet (being resupplied by a self-replicating, self-repairing and self-adjusting system) and are only accessible in limited amounts in space.
Space is hostile, and until you start to be able to survive without technology in vacuum and zero-gravity any "home" you find in space is just an illusion. It's not home, it's always hostile territory and you're only separated from death by a thin layer of metal and carbon compounds.
Of course it's probably worth nothing to you, but being on a planet is being human. Being anywhere else is being less than human because we can't afford to be truly human anywhere else.

My initial response to you, the OP, was to describe in detail the manner in which you should go about ending your life. But I'm not going to, I'm trying to be a better, less impulsively violent person. But it's hard, I skirt the lines between helping defend neutral traffic from piracy, and wanton murder. But I digress. Besides who am I kidding, I do what I do because right now it's my job.
You're catching me on a good night, before I start drinking in this station.
I'm exactly the kind of depraved person who doesn't want to sit in a mud puddle and play my grass flute before rolling naked through the flowers. What matters, as has already been stated, is what happens in space. The happenings planetside on any rock that happens to be populated is no longer an important matter. We the nations of Capsuleers matter, and they playground of all current politics is not anchored to the ground but is in space! Why am I explaining this to a fool?
Why did you go through with becoming a Capsuleer if you detest the lifestyle so much? Why did you go out of your way to get on a console to then get on Galnet to tell us all about how lovely it is planetside? Are you bored, or did you suddenly have an epiphany and need to spread your newfound wisdom? What's wrong with you?
I'm getting more angry now. Eh, to hell with it, while your planetside tie a log around your leg and go jump off a bridge.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Nomakai seems to be the only person here with a scrap of clarity to speak of. I do what I do because I wanted to see something different, and because I could. I am a firm believer in taking all things in moderation, and that too much of anything can drive anyone crazy.

Redpants, you're a smartass. Get involved in a discussion that warrants being one, as this one does not. Oh, and do your damn laundry.
Captain Manalee-Thorne, you are right. We live in a world of thousands of dead crew per downed battleship out in the black. Any shred of sanity is to be held to as one clews to one's own children, and if one can't get some time planetside once in a while, one's doomed to a life of confusion, fear, and impulsive fatality.
Finding a way to counter this, or balance it with the need to be here in space, is something that living planetside won't be enough to cure. However, there are a few experimental solutions.
VR technology is, thankfully, a good way to treat the symptoms. If you'd like to find out what I mean, contact myself or Captain Delateriel when you're in your capsule and we can show you a few interesting places.
