    Just searching for some starnet wisdom. What do you do to avoid getting eaten, stabbed, insulted etc by florans, when they are allowed on almost every colony out there?

    I'm seriously tired of them.

    I admit, its kinda hard when you're a 'fishman' but most of them are smart enough to know not to attack someone in a public setting. For safety its good to have a nice little submachine gun on hand. Mind you, however, that there are quite a number of civilized and remarkably intelligent Floran who have broken the cultural boundary. Be wary of them, but do not be too prejudiced against them.

    Florans are a menace. Though I rarely see them on Alioth, they're savages hardly worth anyone's time. I refuse to work with them. I would avoid New Chicago, as the colony is both full of them, and it doesn't enforce laws against them. My wife was kidnapped by a Floran while planetside, and the local authorities left it to a vigilante to save her.

    I don't shoot whoever calls me scrawny, or sad, or a bird, it's just common decency and morals.

    Maybe if you stop trying to randomly trip each one that passes in front of you, they wouldn't be so hostile towards you.

    Perhaps the majority living as tribal hunters who doesn't have any form of ethics and enjoy killing their prey has something to do as the general perception towards them.

    The Floran didn't grab your leg and use it to trip itself, you did that on your own. And when something scares you, you normally turn away or move away from it, not antagonize it. The Floran race is probably the worst race to pick a fight with, considering their warring streak.

    Yes, because they NEED an excuse to be hostile. Florans are savage, and they'll attack you with or without provocation. If you kill someone for tripping you, I'd want to get away as well. I cannot fathom how so many intelligent beings have such sympathy for them. I would say just leave the room if you see one.

    It's not racism, it's sheer common sense.

    This is why I am afraid to leave my ship on some colonies because people will just antagonize me and accuse me of being a stupid ignorant floran. I'm floran and I'm afraid to go out because people are so scared by my race that if something happens the blame will go on me.
