Ugh. More humans.

That's not true of any man, and I'm not fool enough to pretend otherwise. But I've never killed without having a damn good reason, and I find your taunting in extremely poor taste.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

I find your murder of me in poor taste.

[original_fine]

As you've already admitted, I haven't done that yet. I may never do that. You're talking to me right now, aren't you? Is the future written in stone?

And maybe, if it is true, you killed David. Or maybe I never meant to kill you at all. Maybe it was self defense. Killing is never in good taste, but there are shades.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

I never killed David. Nor was I responsible for his death. Do you begin to get the picture now, Kirk?

[original_fine]

Not at all. In fact, it's even more obscure. Why should I kill you in retribution for something you didn't do?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Purely because I share the race of the man who did.

[original_fine]

I'm no bigot, General.

Indeed? Your reaction to me, states otherwise. A sarcastic remark from me and your paranoia becomes clear! You've already taken the first steps, Kirk! That's all it takes, one step, then another then another. Do you truly believe that when a Klingon kills your son, you won't look at someone with ridges and wish them dead? Come now, surely I have earned the truth from you, Captain, hmm?

[original_fine]

You've earned nothing with your baiting. Paranoia? You told me that my son would be killed--is that sarcasm? My "reaction" to you is as it would be towards any enemy who threatened me or mine. It has nothing to do with race.

Or ridges. What ridges?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

I did not tell you ?I would be responsible. Just used it.

And we have recovered our ridges, no thanks to your people.

[original_fine]

Look, we're talking in circles. I haven't killed you yet. I don't know the circumstances behind it, if it's even true, but I do know that I have never acted in the manner you describe. And my current conversation has been remarkably civil, considering the provocation. I may have not had the best history with the Klingon Empire, but I've respected the actions of individuals as their own responsibility. I'm not a racist.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

I speak of the future, Kirk.

[original_fine]

Right. The future where I'm suddenly a racist and Klingons have ridges, whatever those are.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Our birthright. Your naivety is touching, if misguided, Kirk. Do you have no idea of the future of which you face?

[original_fine]

Do you know your own future?

My naivete, as you call it, as as much due to your peoples' hostility as anything else. No one's been exactly forthcoming, except with harsh words.
