But he is right in this regard. Except that we’re not talking about the state of slavery, we’re discussing good advice that an all powerful, all knowing, all seeing, omnipresent God can give to slaves. The ONLY advice you can give to slaves is to get out. And if they can? Hit them on the way out. A...

And telling them to rebel would have gotten them killed.

With that, we're done Absalom.

Disgusting. Absolutely revolting.

Your "100%" is defined by culture and the various consequences thereof. Whatever you think Jesus was wrong on, a significant number of people think the contrary, and what you think he was right on, yet again a large number think the contrary. It always annoys me when people go ragging on subjects l...

I think the Loroi aren´t in charge of the Union because of her beliefs as Soian appointed successors, but because they have the biggest stick. The funny looking apes from the backwater planet aren´t going to change that. The biggest stick is worthless without the warrior to wield it, and you can't ...

Humanity coming into the picture basically kicks the legs out of the Umiak propaganda machine there, since it proves the Loroi are not Soia descendants. As far as Loroi mythology goes, I don't think that styling themselves as Soia descendants has a major spiritual or cultural bearing for them. It's...

Humanity being the Loroi's template species will likely shake things up for the Loroi on a propaganda and existential front, but the day to day line officer or factory worker is unlikely to be affected by such matters. Politics will shift, the narrative of the war will change, but life for the aver...

Razor One I am sorry to hear you say that. I apologize for being unclear, I was responding to around a page of posts covering genocide and it's usages. Here is my thought process. Have the Loroi committed xenocide in the past - Yes Do you think it likely or unlikely that the Loroi will commit xenoci...

The likelihood is entirely dependent on the circumstances in question. Answering the question as a yes or no without establishing circumstances is putting the cart before the horse. In short; there is insufficient data for a meaningful answer to your question. I disagree, we have all the informatio...

As Absalom and Harlequin pointed out, there are circumstances which prompt the Loroi into acts of xenocide which may make them likely to commit such in the future. It would depend on the circumstances of a given species whether the Loroi would (attempt) to wipe them out or not. I was just about to ...

Cool, so do you think it likely or unlikely that the Loroi will commit xenocide in the future?

Cool, let me just walk you through my thought process that lead to my previous comment.

Have the Loroi committed xenocide in the past?

Razor, are you a forum Moderator? Just wanted to confirm.

Even with the War going on, I can see the Loroi sending out punitive expeditions, or resorting to aggressive gunboat diplomacy, but unprovoked species level genocide? No. As Imperialistic and militaristic some of the loroi are, they're not xenophobic to a fault. I betcha five bucks the Loroi send a...

Let's try to imagine a scene of a foreign diplomat walking into the US State Department in Washington. State Department Official: Can I help you? Diplomat: Yes, I'm here to establish diplomatic relations on behalf of my country, Zooland. State Department Official: Zooland? We have no listing for th...

I'm pretty sure they've all been harshly trained not to reveal it, but to reveal a contact solar system, where the delegates are invited to come to. Add to that, Alex isn't completely stupid. I really hope your right... then again, it would add quite the dramatic twist to the story! What would the ...

I hope Alex doesn't reveal the location of Earth to the Loroi...

Woot, so many new pages!
