Well…about 10% use the internet for learning, civilised game playing, and so on…the remaining 90% devote decades to the Earth being flat, or the dreadful crime committed in 2008 when they lost an Ibis to a ganker and how they’ve spent 18 years haranguing the International Court Of Juctice for a war crimes declaration 🙂 ---

I had a blast last night on my noble quest too avenge the saivorette, it was my commitment as a subject of the realm to defend the honor of the highsec belts. And there was sooo much comraderie in the forum when I posted my fresh toons first venture kill. In short ganking is a valid play style and I’m working on my achievements. I’m gonna gank my way to high sec assassin badge, it’s so close now I can almost taste it. ![1000003446](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/7/3/f/73f0b2b48df52edfc9cc8571d9c15bcce5e63b84.gif) ---

Some people believe it should not be allowed? My astrahus was taken in high sec. When I talked about it here, some people assumed I was crying or complaining about the loss. I was simply explaining that others won’t respect boundries, so what makes anyone think ganking is somehow different in high sec? @Aiko_Danuja I don’t make monkeys, I just train them. Mine safe ⛏ ---

> [@Anna\_Dyneaux](#): > > What they do have is very strong freedom of speech rights, which Europe very much does not have. Would you please specify exactly where europe lacks ‘freedom’ or ‘freedom of speech’? In opposite…europe has MORE freedom than the us ever will have because of your funny way with handling sexuality or alcohol(there is nothing like this borderline stupid ‘open container law’ in europe and nipples(even male ones LOL) or breasts have nothing to do with sexuality btw) but kids are to protect against seeing nipples anyway? Why? They see them as babies but from age 4 to 21 it’s suddenly a problem? This is stupid… And for example the ‘public protest’ in france f.e. that lead into looting stores would be considered ‘tame’ in the us and could have gone unbothered? What would you consider ‘not tame’ then? The detonation of a nuclear bomb? I BET looting stores would lead to strong reactions in the us too… And social media posts are not punished in the us?

Plenty of European countries have laws against drinking alcohol in public. For example in the Nordic countries it’s legal to drink at an outdoors serving restaurant, but a criminal offence to pick up your glass of beer and step one metre outside the restaurant. Showing nipples is likewise considered inappropriate in most of Europe. You can get away with it on the beach, but then that’s the case in the USA, too. > [@Uta\_Asmai](#): > > And for example the ‘public protest’ in france f.e. that lead into looting stores would be considered ‘tame’ in the us and could have gone unbothered? ![cnn-fire](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/e/6/b/e6b2da5db070376547eb263836068827614755b4.png) > [@Uta\_Asmai](#): > > And social media posts are not punished in the us?
