I called your Jefferson a caveman, correct. I also pointed out that we had followed his example by amending our lease to Rubi-Ka, our constitution, if you will, when we included a limited lease on the northern lands in the Clans Rights Treaty. Lacking any argument after realizing that we were following Jefferson’s example, you latched on to the caveman example. Perhaps I was wrong in doing so, but I knew it would get an emotional response from you.
Farcical. You didn't even remotely follow Jefferson's example. You "amended" by the gun. I don't believe Jefferson did that. He amended by a vote. And if you believe that you can play me or something, you are sadly mistaken. Do not misinterpret concerted debate for "emotional response". They are quite different. It merely shows your arrogance even more. Most people I know that are arrogant compensate for something that lacks elsewhere. So I wonder, what deficiencies are you making up for?

Actually, I do find it amusing. Especially when you refuse to concede points, call people’s arguments idiotic rather than address the issues they bring up, and then declare victory. It makes me chuckle every time. In fact, I sometimes find myself looking forward to your next rant.
Your amusement does not give me pause or concern. I refuse to concede points that I find ludicrous, logic that I find non-sequitered and sentiments that only reinforce a slanted bias. Since I am quite able to address the issues every single time I post a debate rebuttal, I am also quite satisfied by how I respond to them. It makes me chuckle that your own supposed superiority continues to be your only topic. Once again, arrogance is your only contribution. Bravo!

This is somewhat true. There are no recorded Omni-Tek/clan conflicts in that century and a half until the clan-affiliated terrorists attacked the notum mining facilities. However, you do have two major political developments, that being the emergence of the neutral population and the establishment of Jobe. Both groups received no interference from Omni-Tek in their creation. Also, you have the construction of Rome as the site of the post lease democratic government. Omni-Tek is clearly looking to the future in that effort, as the end of the lease is a good four centuries off at that point.
These are facts. We have two political groups arise that are not interfered with, the construction of a city for the post lease democratic government, and no recorded armed conflict until the clan affiliated terrorists arrack the notum mines. You could be right, there could have been instances of conflict in the century and a half. However, then one must address why these punitive actions were justified when they killed not only security personnel but also civilian miners.
Since you are not able to observe the facts as written and wish to bring in unrelated events as proof of your baseless arguments, it's of no use to continue to discuss it further with you. The logic dictates that a lack of information precludes making any conclusions about the subject. But I can see that rather than use logic, you just prefer to win the argument at all costs, and logic is apparently one of those casualties. Fine by me. Be a lawyer. That's all they are good for anyway.

I can go into it again, but I’m starting to think I should just macro a script: Teraforming, Clans Rights Treaty, the fact that we didn’t slaughter you during the corporate wars after we developed insurance tech, Mutant bounties, and the Amnesty are the big ones.
I see. So you can tell me that Clan as a political entity must be grateful to Omni-Tek for all of these things. Wrong. And completely hilarious. Terraforming occured long before the Clans existed, and therefore is completely extraneous to the topic. The Clans Treaty was made because OT was pressured by the ICC to do so, for not to do it would have brought punitive actions against the corporation that would have resulted in loss of profit. Again you attempt to bring altruism into the debate, and it's transparent that there is no altruism or morality within Omni-Tek. And you continue this charade of compassion in suggesting that it was because of remorse that you did not take advantage of insurance. You would have but you knew there would be repercussions by the entire hypercorporate structure if you had. Mutant bounties? Please. The Clans are to be grateful for OT issuing bounties on that which they created and that which the Clans freed? That's just amazing. Pay for others to clean up your messes. And that is supposed to instill gratitude? I doubt it. It perpetuates bloodlust. But OT likes that, don't they? And finally, the Amnesty. Funny, but your Amnesties never seem to last long. It's good PR, but we have seen what OT does when something upsets their applecart, like the terrorist activities of an infantesimally small amount of people. Once something like that happens, it's been convenient for you to discard agreements to an entire political organization based upon the actions of a small few. It's the way that OT has been able to break every agreement they have ever made. It's underhanded, dishonest and ruthless to the core. Just like I expect OT to behave every time they open their yaps.
And since the lawyer cannot stand to ever be proven to be incorrect or at least not completely right, I hereby bow from this topic. You may have the last word, I care not any longer. Debating with you is like fapping with a bandsaw. Amusing at first, no doubt. But just painful thereafter.
