Like it says I use to be a Minmatar supporter how because I personally could relate but I was soon reborn as a pure Amarrian/Kameira clone to send death to all non-believers but I still hold true to my Minmatar ways. |

Do know that the Amarr Empire itself is a Minmatar supporter, just not a Minmatar Republic supporter. |

You know I'm sure that's what people think about me. "What this dude is preaching against the amarr then suddenly starts to fight with them. He must be unstable." My mind changed to fight with the amarr not because of religious values but because of the fact that there is not a lot of talented mercs fighting for them. Its the main idea of supply and demand. The demand for mercs to fight for the empire is much higher then the supply at the moment. Which means I can earn a lot more isk even if i fight for the loosing side. So what I am saying is that your reasoning seems rather stagnate.
( I am trying to just add to the discussion I hope we can see some more events like caldari prime. Difficult to talk about stuff beside news ) |

You do not need news to have a discussion, there's plenty of discussion to be had about the different faiths in New Eden for instance. There's moral problems to argue, even announcements for upcoming events can spur some discussion. But just announcing: "Hey, I'm leaving now so, yeah, just thought you'd want to know, y'know, okay?", doesn't have much to discuss about. |

You My friend live by false ideals, such as that of being superior than others, this will be de down fall of the Empire because it is just a matter of time before others just like the Minmatar rise against the oppression of the Empire. You dare call me a dog? When you are the one that does the Empire's bidding without questioning it and does so happily. You are but a slave to the Empire. no better than a dog. |

Rights and freedom are not anomalies, they are the very heart of every society and without rights or freedom we become anything but pawns to those who subjugate us. It was the Empire's arrogance that lead to humiliating loss to the Jove.
Even though the Empire may never collapse it will change if it is to have a place in this Modern Era. |

I thought that only True Amarrs were God's chosen people and everyone else was to be subjugate and be used to do the Empire's biding. But then again I am but a heathen. True Adamance, your faith is to be interpreted as you see fit. But do not expect me to stand idle while you try to impose it to others forcefully.
The Minmatar Republic is not being used in any way. If the Republic seeks help from the Federation why should it be denied? I should always advocate for freedom and liberty. The Minmatar a capable of deciding their nation's fate without requiring "a firm hand".

Even though the Empire may never collapse it will change if it is to have a place in this Modern Era. Let me clarify my terminology a little, soldier.
A "right," in this context, is not something granted by law, but by the universe. Legal rights do exist in every society (they are the latitude of action an individual legally possesses). A right in that context is reduced to "what you are allowed to do." It's the same for a freedom.
It is only the Gallente who regard certain rights as inherent, inviolable, and sacred. The idea that there are rights that can never be taken away-- that is a historical anomaly.
Is that the sort of right you were talking about? Otherwise, "rights" are as ubiquitous as "money," and their existence says about as much about the nature of a society (to wit, that it is a society with some minimal level of sophistication).
Most of us are relatively comfortable with the idea that rights are artifacts of the mind, something we cooked up for ourselves rather than anything "real." They can be broad, they can be narrow-- either way can work in the short term. The experiment is whether you can build a society to stand the test of ages by effectively making Freedom your god and Rights its divine agents, combining these into a national religion. |

Whilst certainly there is some ignorance and perhaps even corruption within the Federation, that isn't necessarily why people support it. Of course there are flaws - Every society has its flaws, yours included. That's the way of things.
The Federation is about people making their own way through life, free of significant state obligation or major religious influence. You can certainly choose to see it as an 'ignorant and corrupted society', as there's some truth in that, but it's hardly fair to dismiss the only truly free society in New Eden as simply that. I'd also like to know why you consider our values of freedom hypocritical. Do you mean to say we're figuratively slaves to the political system?
I do find much of the extremism that my fellow Gallenteans tend to exhibit rather tiresome though. Patriotic they may be, but blind verbal attacks against other empires only reinforces the sad perception of us as an 'ignorant' society. |

It might be so, our society does uphold certain rights and freedom above everything and will fight fiercely for them. For outsiders it might be seen as a far fetched ideal. For you it might be seen as an anomaly and as somewhat unnatural.

Frankly, I don't believe anything can withstand the test of time. not even the Federation, but its presence will remain. A thoughtful answer, Mr. Callazar.
I do understand where you might come to think I was criticizing the Gallentean approach as unnatural, but the real issue is more that it's aggressive. Like the Amarr, the Gallente seem to feel that they have found a great truth that they have a sacred duty to share with everyone.
Only, not everyone worships the god Freedom, and not everyone wants to. We have our own histories, faiths, and cultural outlooks on the universe that are inconsistent with Gallentean-style individualism. That there might be valid reasons for not wishing to embrace your faith is an understanding the Federation has been reluctant or unable to accept, and so our cultures inevitably clash.
As it is with the Amarr, faith calls you to spread your truth. As it is with the Amarr, the rest of us will fight to keep our own truths.
It is ironic, but your faith in the god Freedom makes you conquerors.
I do not blame the Gallente for their beliefs-- as with the Amarr, you largely seem to do what you think is right. It is just that, because my own society disagrees with you about what is right (or what rights are, as the case may be), we have chosen to resist.
As a defender of that civilization, it is my place and role to protect my own home and way of life with violence when need be. And it seems that there is indeed a need.
It is nothing personal, soldier; nor is it even really a criticism of the Gallentean path, but I cannot allow that path to be extended through my home. |

The conflict between the Federation and the Caldari State is much more complex and does require some thought. For both sides have reason to fight and to blame for the conflict escalation and attrition between both sides. I do not agree with some of the instances taken by my government towards Caldari State. However I cannot stand idle while it opposes a treat to the Federation and its citizens. I also would not describe my belief in what the Gallente society stands for as a faith, we don not worship Freedom, we admire and respect it. As soldiers, we must fight for what we believe in and defend it at all costs. Because war is what we know. Even with our differences I know when I meet a worthy adversary, if we meet in the battlefield I shall fight you with honour!

An honorable invitation, Mr. Callazar; I should like to be able to take you up on it.
Sadly, while we may, indeed meet, our senses of "honor" may differ somewhat. As a scout, a straight fight (with great respect to those who engage in them) is the very last thing I wish to become involved in. Trickery and foul play are my tools-- my work is more remote explosive traps and nova knives than what most soldiers think of as honorable warfare.
As a scout, my credo is simple: to do the job, and do it efficiently.
That being so, in the event that we do meet on the field, you would honor me most by fighting with all of your cunning and ingenuity. |

I too am a scout by trade, I am a hunter, tracking the enemy and infiltrating the enemy lines are my trades. If indeed we meet, we should play a game of cat and mouse, and we shall see which of us will become the other's prey. At least should be entertaining. In the end it seems that we are not that different my friend. |
