[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8023450, member: 23751"] Perhaps you missed it, but I asked you directly in the post you responded to above. I find that last part interesting. It would seem to mean that insane people and evil murderers are not people. And fit for whose society? I would submit that an Aboleth is fit to be a member of Aboleth society. Aboleths definitely have enough intelligence to have culture, and they are their own religion, have tools and problems solving ability, and self-awareness. It would only be that last bolded portion that would keep them from being people as you lay it out above. In OUR society, yes. You seem to be saying that any society that doesn't meet human standards isn't a society and can't be people. It would also mean that here in the real world you don't consider the Amazon tribes that practice cannibalism to be people, either. Interesting ground you are treading on when there are real world humans that you don't consider to be people. Thank you for answering my question, though. [/QUOTE]
