Comments of chapter undefined of Gate: War of Two Worlds Part 1

There have been some interesting developments in this series. I’m really glad that Emily is a reasonable person who can put her personal biases aside when it matters. She wasn’t about to deny people the right to have *** was she? I agree with the plan to phase out slavery, in a light novel series I’m reading the protagonist does the same thing in his own kingdom. It’s probably the best idea considering the economics involved. What sort of employment are the former slave holders going to have? Are they going to be managers or employers of some sort? In regards to mineral rights, I hope this won’t be a one way deal in which we help extract minerals but leave nothing for them to develop their own kingdoms or territories? You probably know how Europeans exploited parts of the world from South America to Africa in search of Minerals and other riches (diamonds). They didn’t exactly give anything back to those people, or allow them to use it for their own use now did they? They also exploited the people of those parts of the world for slave labor. We can certainly learn a lot from those examples, don’t you agree? I mean this still their world and they have a right to use their own resources to help themselves do they not? Our help is necessary right now, but at some point they will probably learn how to do it on their own, right? Since you have shown the role of gods in both worlds, do you plan on revealing the existence of souls as well? If all living things have souls, then where do they go after leaving their bodies? Do they all go the same source regardless of which world they live on, or are there different afterlife’s for each world? When Rory mentions how she absorbs the souls of those she kills it seems to hint to the existence of souls is what I mean. I hope that Emily will be able to persuade the American people that the people of the other world have their own customs and to just accept it? Surely our people should’ve expected this world and it’s people to different from our society, correct? As you have shown, if the people of that world are going to compromise and change some things then so must we. It has to be a two-way street, we shouldn’t use morality and dictate it to them. We should’ve at least tried seeing things from the perspectives of the peoples of this new world when we first came here, so why didn’t we? We’re supposed to be educated people so there’s no excuse for that oversight or lapse in judgement on our part. Emily made a serious mistake when she rushed for peace without having a more complete picture on the ground. So she rightly must bear much of the blame for what happened, isn’t that right? I hope that Sharpe, Emily, and all the other NATO personnel will be more open minded from now on. While we might call the Empire people savage for the ways in which they conduct themselves, case in point Philadelphia. We should remember that we used to do the same things in the not so distant past, isn’t that true? Furthermore we must ask ourselves if we are any less barbaric than they are. Let’s not forget about the Holocaust and all the various genocides that we did to each other (on earth). Not to mention the millions who lost their lives in the world wars, and all the other wars combined. I don’t think even the Empire killed nearly that many people in all of it’s wars of conquest? Also don’t forget that it wasn’t so long ago that African Americans were lynched and hanged from trees or lampposts isn’t that true? Shouldn’t that make us savages as well? It seems to me that people like Sofia are so wrapped up in their own hatred towards them that we forget that we weren’t so different from them at one time? Like I said before “look to thine own eyes first” and we probably won’t like what we see, will we? While we might not like how the Empire and others discriminate against Demihumans, we did the same things to each other, and still do in some ways.
