FROM: lancer.5@cdc.org i can alright fight effectively with my vision lost but ive decided i like seeing pretty women rather than not. so ill hold onto my eyes as long as i can.
FROM: lancer.5@cdc.org maybe. we had a few boys who didnt like smoke or drink so i considered it more of a reward.
it wouldnt be a big deal these days if a priest chided you but priests back then knew how to use curses properly. imagine having half our group getting painful sores because we didnt do some unnecessary ritual before a battle.

i dont like the word ritual. it reeks of religion. we tended to dislike priests getting anywhere near our celebrations.

Interesting. Did they interfere?

On my planet, those priests would have been relieved from their duty for interfering.
[ "Relieved" here meaning "eaten". ]

that would have been a nice change of pace. i take it your kin were more pragmatic than mine.

Our hierarchy was strict.
no subject
i get that impression. i feel fortunate coming from a place where we could do whatever we liked as long as we were comfortable with consequence.
no subject
Is that unusual?
no subject
extremely. some people held grudges awhile but not many did so we could fight and be friends in the same day if we wanted to.
no subject
Interesting.

really? most people would call my kin idiots for that kind of mindset.

Anyone unwilling to accept the consequences of their actions is a fool.
