I wish the dominion wasn't such a bunch of d-bags so I could play a chua without feeling bad about myself.

They aren't. Like the Exiles; you have some bad eggs tossed in; but by and large the Dom is just Lawful good, with the Exiles being chaotic good. With obvious exceptions in both factions (*cough* chua and Mordesh *cough* ICI and Black Hoods *cough*)

There is nothing lawful good about conquering planets and forcing people off their homeworld.

You mean seizing the land and resources of a group that aids and abets terrorists?
 
Or do you mean destroying all life on a planet with an apocalyptic contagion?
 
For every bad thing the Dominion has done (and it has) there is an equally bad thing the Exiles have done. The writers did a great job of giving us two factions that at face value with no actual knowledge of them seem to fit simple stereotypes if you give in to the 'starwars' effect; but upon actual exploration and engagement with the narrative are two fundamentally decent groups with bad elements and differing views of policy.

Space nazi is a good descriptor for the Dominion. 
 
 I've always thought of them as the Alliance from Firefly.

There is a phrase: it makes no sense to say that a man that pushes a woman into the path of a bus and a man that pushes a woman out of the path of a bus are both men that push women.
 
The simple fact is that the Dominion are SpaceNazis. And like the actual Nazis, they had some good points and good people: that's not a joke, there is nothing inherently evil about the Volkswagen Beetle (or, as it was known then, the KDF Wagen) or the autobahn. Nor can we ignore the virtues of men like Rommel, Heisenberg, Von Braun and John Rabe.
 
To use a more contemporary example, to say that "everyone does bad things" is a bit like saying that the Islamic Republic of Iran, which funds Hezbollah and terrorism all over the world and has repeatedly stated its goal of destroying both the Jewish state of Israel and the West in general is the moral equivalent of Israel and the US. After all, Israel may not fund terrorism, but it does have a very efficient assassination program, and of course the American Drone assassination program has left more then a few widows and orphans.
 
None of this is to say that one can't legitimately believe there is no moral difference between the US and Iran or Israel and China, Russia and Ukraine, so on and so forth, plenty of people think exactly that! But, as those people understand, one can't be too surprised that other people find their moral reasoning... lacking.

it never fails...all it takes is one person to go "dominion/exile are evil scum" and the thread goes into a whole thing on which side is more evil than the other sometimes citing real life as well. Gotta love a a story thats written well enough to boost that faction pride *hugs Pappy and writers*
 
For myself, I dont see either as being more evil or good than the other. You have obvious bad apples as someone said, with a far larger amount of good ones in the fold as well. I've pretty much settled on Dominion being an odd mix of the Tau with a smidgen of the  Imperium of Man(less psychoticly zealous though)
 
The faction you REALLY want to keep an eye on are those Lopp, don't turn your back on them for a second, especially that Yatish!

			Just a reminder that we should try and keep IRL politics and references to a minimum. ;) They often tend to lead into off-topic tangents that cause lots of upset.

			I'd like to mention that yesterday while I was out saving orphans from a fire, a dominion engineer broke into my spaceship house and stripped all the copper wiring.
