Well then maybe you should have someone else say it because it just looks like you, and only you, are saying it and makes you look rather narcissistic.

You're still acting like Zipper in that you're dodging around the issue and questionable events circling the enforcement of the Talos ban, it's getting rather annoying because you and Zipper keep dodging the evidence and use lore that I already know about.

Sure, they're barbaric, but does that justify their subjugation, forced into poverty where the only jobs they can get are one that include backbreaking labor, where they are beaten if they make the slightest mistake, where law-abiding, land owning Reachmen are being muscled out by the Silver-Blood family, a member of which becomes Jarl if you join the Stormcloaks, nuff said, for THOUSANDS of years? Hell no it doesn't! The Nords for their treatment of them makes them just as bad if not worse than those they oppress. You try living as a law-abiding Reachman in Markarth or the Reach in generaland guarantee it sure as hell won't be as pretty as you make it out to be Zipper, especially when you factor in spatial compression, all I see is them being treated like second-class citizens. After all why did they rebel in the first place? It sure as hell wasn't because the Nords were treating them fairly. I fail to see the major problem with human sacrifice if the participant is willing. I'm not trying to make them out as completely innocent, but they are definitely the lesser aggressors of this conflict, they were perfectly fine doing god knows what to themselves, and then the Nords came in unprovoked and started conquering them and took control. And finally, the Bear of Markarth, I know it was written by an imperial scholar and portrays Ulfric in a negative light, but it is the only book on the subject and it says that the Reachmen only killed those who were harshest to them and the kingdom was relatively peaceful. I look at the Reachmann situation in the Reach as that of the African-Americans in the early to mid twentieth century, Sure, they had equal rights in theory, but they were treated terribly, could only find low-wage jobs to work, were segregated, and life was in general miserable.
