Trust an Amarrian to point out the technical problems, rather than the ethical ones...

You are a monster, Griff Philips. Your murder of innocent men and women in the pursuit of "scientific enquiry" is beyond forgiveness, and I will very gladly lend whatever aid I can to the cause of hunting you down and podding you so hard that your clone will think it's three weeks old.

It is good to see even the Caldari and Amarr condemn this appalling fraction of human rights.
"Even" the Caldari and the Amarr? What, are we all supposed to be a pack of amoral thugs or something? Are two entire cultures automatically incapable of ethical thought and action through simply having accidentally not been born in the Federation?
If you really must open your mouth, please try to assemble something other than fedo gas behind it before you do.
"Even the Caldari and the Amarr"... good grief. Some of the most diehard bigots I've ever encountered - including yourself, Captain Hues - are of Gallente descent. Do us all a favour and THINK before you open your noise-hole in future.
Oh, and Captain Kador there does not speak for his entire race. I wish to to the spirits of space that he'd learn to shut up as well...

Have you ever experienced explosive decompression for yourself, Captain?
Well, okay, I suppose you have, being a Capsuleer, but I'll wager that it happened to another clone AFTER your mind was sucked out of it.
Let's just say that if you aren't familiar with the gory, unpleasant details of just what dying in a ship explosion is like, then let me just inform you that it is by no means a clean, quick or pleasant way to go. Nor was it just "a handful of slaves" either.
Those five hundred and thirty-two slaves that Philips butchered in the name of his "experiment" died in agony, and in screaming terror. Every single one of them. I'd call that "unjustified torture" myself...
These were not "simple executions", but vicious, brutal murders. I suspect that any Amarrian court would declare such treatment a violation of an Imperial decree.

You're a callous bastard at heart, aren't you?
If it happened to you, I somehow doubt you'd be as philosophical about it all.

This is one area where Angel philosophy is refreshingly honest: "Sure, they're people. So?"
Hah! Yes, I have to agree, that is rather refreshingly candid, even if I don't agree with the philosophy itself.
Oh, and Harald - Sometimes people deserve insulting. I have been far, far more insulting to people in the past than just calling them a "callous bastard", and I've done it using language that is far more "civilized".
In this galaxy, being accused of callousness is a figurative paper cut. Hell, I'm callous - tens of thousands of human lives have ended because of me, but I don't really regret a single one.
I do, however, apologize for the rather indiscreet insinuations I made about your parents, and hope that they can forgive me in the fullness of time.

Debatable. I can justify every last one of those deaths as having been necessary for the good of some cause or another.
Nevertheless, when I lost a Falcon the other week, my first thought was on how expensive the loss was. The ship's destruction was so sudden and so absolute that not a single one of my crew made it to the lifeboats, yet all I was worried about at the time was how I was a hundred and eighteen million Kredits out of pocket.
My intellectual sense of morality calls that attitude "callous", and thus I am a callous man. And callousness is not an admirable trait, pilot - It is, however, necessary.
We are what we think we are, more than what others say we are. If you're going to call me a person of strong character and will, then I thank you for the compliment, but I'll continue to think that "callous" is the most accurate term. Everything else is just a euphemism.
