Galmar asks why "an Elf wants to fight for Skyrim", not necessarily foreigner. He says it in a pretty condescending tone, too. Idolaf's argument with Clan Grey-Mane may stem from the Civil War, but he isn't asking you directly whether or not you're an Imperial supporter or Stormcloak sympathizer. Given that the Dragonborn crossed the border from Cyrodiil to Skyrim and is technically an "outsider" even if they're a Nord, I daresay that Bolund should be racist towards a Nordic Dragonborn. And yet, he isn't. Do you find that curious?

No, they're not all salesmen, but again, not all that many people speak with Aval, save Niranye, Lonely-Gale, and Brunwulf.

It's dismissed because there's no proof they investigated a Khajiit caravan was the reason it was investigated. Besides, do you have a problem with pessimists?

I do, yes... but I don't think someone can make their skull a phylactery. If you think the circlet is a phylactery, I doubt that too. Wouldn't you just take the circlet, then?

I believe Ahtar says "filthy Argonian" not "filthy Argonians". Assuming he does know that Jaree is a pirate (which I do not remember), I would imagine what he means by that is the fact that Torygg (the former ruler) would eject the pirates from the city as opposed to Elisif who is left running a city she was never raised to rule.

I'm fairly certain he does, or perhaps I was on a new save? In any case, it's on his page on this wiki unless it was edited out sometime in the last two days, 'cause it was there yesterday.

Holding a grudge for over 100 years against people who probably don't treat him that well doesn't really seem that terrible. I doubt Rolff ever visited the Cornerclub to hear Ambarys' counter-racism, though.

He makes them pay taxes, Canuck. The Empire restricts their freedom because the Thalmor makes them, and really the only restriction there is the fact that they can't worship a god who forced an abortion, wrecked the Isles with the Numidium, and killed all his friends. Besides, the Dragonborn was crossing the border illegally. It would seem that the punishment for that is execution, and that's just the law, Canuck.

Skyrim's old laws, Canuck. If Ulfric follows the old laws, then he should worship Alduin as lord and master and make bloody sacrifices to him. But does he? Nope, because that's not right. Just like waltzing into a King's throne room and using the equivalent of an ancient Nordic rocket launcher on him.

Might I add that I showed that Ulfric actually did raise taxes.

It's not that I have nothing, it's because I'm sick of hearing your mockery and so I'm retaliating by pointing out your terrible grammar and spelling. "Typical Imperial" is a pretty "typical Stormcloak" way of thinking, isn't it?

If you wish to close the debate, by all means, I'll oblige, but don't think I'll "change my attitude" because you think it's improper. Considering your mockery and my frequent attempts to get you to stop, I think that's a pretty hypocritical statement, Canuck. I'll come back and see if you have the decency to end your mockery, but if you don't, then this debate is officially closed.
