Because execution collars and mutating viruses that cause painful deaths if not constantly dosed up constitutes decent care, right? There is a reason billions upon billions of Minmatar wanted out, a reason the Federation intervened, and a reason the Jove helped them. That reason is that they are maltreated. To a Caldari wage-slave, perhaps it doesn't seem so bad. After all, most of you spend your lives toiling away for nothing, so poorly treated slaves dying by their millions isn't a concern. Numbers on a spreadsheet. That's all people are to the Caldari. How can you believe that programmes like the HEP are anything close to ethical? Minmatar slaves are butchered by the Amarrians for the slightest of reasons. The Amarrians even funded Sansha's monstrosities. And yet you still have the gall to say that they're not treated that badly.
Treatment of slaves varies from Holder to Holder, and even then that depends on the Holder's political views, the political pressures on specific holders, and more so than not their dispositions. You assertions that slaves are butchered by Holder is incorrect and unjust as you cannot support such accusations nor are you privy to the personal life on any such Holder.
As for the HEP? While not ethical it yielded certain benefits for the Empire which cannot be denied.
Now to suggest the Empire knowingly supported the formation of the Nation is another foolish suggestion and equally as ridiculous as suggesting it was the fault of the Caldari because Kuvakei was born of their bloodlines, or the Federation was to blame for their cultural exchange that may well have shaped Kuvakei's utopian ideals.
The thing to remember about the Nation was and remains that every empire see's them as a valid threat and an ethically abhorrent pirate group, and that each empire provided personnel and materials to the campaign in the Stain region to see his fleets and secret enclaves brought low.

At least we don't kill people because they are randomly selected. Not to mention your P.o.Ws I wouldn't be surprised if a gallente came out to say All Gallentes are gods and Caldari a worms!

Odd that you should mention POW treatment. All the ones you take end up in labour camps, typically until they die, given that mercy is not an attribute the Caldari possess in any great measure. Or any measure at all.

I do notice you don't even bother attempting to defend your suggestion that the Minmatar slaves weren't treated poorly. Do you recognise that you were wrong?

Where has this come from?
Quote: 2, I'd rather be in a labour camp than be beaten, raped, and killed by the Gallente.
Would you rather be in a labour camp and have the same treatment?
Quote: 3, I never said you. I say it's been said you you accuse me of claiming you said it?
Many things have been said, most of them irrelevant. Most discussions with you end with you claiming that something was said that I did not say to refute one of my points. How does that work?
Would you care to provide a quote on this, anyway? Anyone can say 'Oh, this was said and that was said', but whether it was actually said is another matter entirely. Regardless of whether it was said or not, I do not hold that opinion, and so it is pointless to attempt to use it against me.
Quote:4, I never said they were treated well, nor poorly, only that sir RAVEN WING wrote: The slaves are not treated as bad as the federation would tell you. 5. there is two reasons I didn't defend what I didn't say, they are that I didn't say it and your comment that the Caldari are all slaves.
Do you deny that the slaves are treated in the manners I described? If so, then you are wrong. If not, then you were wrong earlier.
Shall we play the semantics game? I never said the Caldari are all slaves. I simply commented that there are a great number of parallels between Caldari wage-slaves and Amarrian slaves.

I doubt either you have even met a Holder before. As such you comments are no more than hearsay and speculation borne of a general cultural bias against slavery and substantiated by low budget holo-films and second hand accounts of the coddled son of the son of the son of a Matari immigrant who claims to have been a slave.

I can absolutely support such accusations as there are numerous well-documented cases of this happening. An entire planet's population was eradicated after one slave rebelled and killed his master. Freighterloads of slaves were killed rather than allowed emancipation after the 9th generation laws. Karsoth ordered the Starkmanir exterminated after survivors were found.

I'm hardly denying the benefits of the HEP. I'm stating that it did not constitute good treatment of slaves.
Quote: Now to suggest the Empire knowingly supported the formation of the Nation is another foolish suggestion and equally as ridiculous as suggesting it was the fault of the Caldari because Kuvakei was born of their bloodlines, or the Federation was to blame for their cultural exchange that may well have shaped Kuvakei's utopian ideals.

I will concede that the Amarrians did not want Sansha's Nation to exist. However...
It was the Amarrians who funded Kuvakei's experiments. Interestingly, since the advent of Insorum, some of the methodology used to control slaves in the Empire is very similar. Transcranial microcontrollers are based on the same principles as slave implants. Using those to control a slave and force them to work is exactly what the Sansha do.

The vicious treatment of slaves and the lack of care from Amarrians killed two of the greatest scientists the cluster has ever seen, as well as crushed a bastion of co-operation between the Caldari and Gallente.

You could equally morally justify that as two slaves having murdered the scientists, one of many reasons slavery continues to exist within the Empire, by consigning them to the fate of one respectable Hier that arguably before his encounter with the Speaker of Truth, the same speaker PIE escorted through Kor-Azor's region, and was redeemed.
Within the Empire the empire there is no law against the exchange of slaves, only the slave taking itself, which was carried out by a neutral entity. Within the Empire that would have been the Kor Azor Heir's right.
It it equally fair to lay blame on the State and Federation for pulling their funding and security forces from the project leaving them susceptible to the depredations of pirate organisations....an act that reflects poorly on your own people and not mine. Moreover the Crielere Project itself was rife with corruption and intrigue if you believe the unofficial reports regarding the origins of the Morphite technologies....not something I would hold up as a shining beacon of State-Federation relations.

Considering the Caldari openly stole the blueprints from the project, creating the initial instability, blame cannot be laid entirely equally.
Regardless of the corporate backstabbing that ultimately sank the Crielere ship, I think we can all agree it was a tragedy. Touvolle and Umailen did not deserve that end. Nobody did. Why were slaves so poorly treated as to die in so short a time? That's hardly done with the goal of religious enlightenment. That's just cruelty.

As I said that depends on the disposition of the Holder.
The Kor-Azor Heir was, and I put this most respectfully, troubled in his youth and was subject to formal investigation and severely punished for his crimes.
This is one example of a what happens when a Holder is not treating his sacred duty with the diligence it deserves. Other examples of Holder's who treat their slaves fairly and with the care they deserve exist, even if more so on a pedestrian scale. I for one do not treat my slaves unfairly, to suggest otherwise would cause me to name you a liar, nor would I treat those belonging to others in a disrespectful manner.
Dr Adad's Wild Time, an example of a popular children's holo-show in the Empire, actively teaches the younger generations of Amarr to respect and treat their slaves fairly.
