I love how people are more offended that Zombie's against religion than the fact that he's made a sweeping generalization about all Americans. After seeing that, maybe he's got a point. #prioirities

I don't think anyone responded to the sweeping generalizations about all Americans because the statements themselves were born of ignorance rather than bigotry.

Wow. I can't believe the Greedo scene actually made it into a home release looking like that!

Unfortunately, LFL isn't known for giving a damn about home video release quality. :-/

My behavior is often guided by the credo: live and let live.

My religious belief (or lack thereof), Strong Agnosticism, makes a much stronger claim than Atheism inasmuch that some would even consider it offensive.

I refuse to promote in-person or online confrontation regarding religious matters, despite my strong belief(s).

It's just not nice.

No, I am just not tolerating people espousing stupid things. Either back up what you are saying with proof or be quiet. You bring down the quality of education by pretending that creationism has any merit.

I assume you mean the hypothetical "you" and not myself?

For the record: I am not a Creationist, zombie84.

You should know enough to not attempt to argue with the same people you're claiming to be poor at exercising logic and reason.

How do you expect this to end? Are you just being cruel?

zombie84 said:

I guess, if you are a fucking moron. Seriously. stuff like this pisses me off. it's stuff like this that makes people think Americans are retarded. You will only find this line of thinking in the glorious United States of A, where you actually have a significant portion of the population that believes in Creationism like a bunch of retarded assholes.

Relax.

Also, you never answered my question: How's v2 of the book coming along?

I really laughed so hard when a spambot quoted Frink. "The future is truly now."

Link Please!

@AnctuFaalb--first, it's a pain in the butt to write your name because I have to look and make sure I'm spelling it right every time; second, I think we get along great as well, in spite of differences. I get along well with most people, regardless of political affiliation. It's when I read crap like the comments in Huffington Post or other similar comments from those who claim to be all-accepting that I get infuriated.

I got it from a Star Wars Name Generator many years ago. ;)

They are getting dead sophisticated.

I once encountered a Spambot drinking a Manhattan in a pencil skirt... and nothing else.

Was that Spambot named Ralph Brown?

Bingowings said:

It's just spam, possibly a bot of spam.

Yes, but he/she replied to my post!

Likely troll or no?

Now we just need pat man to post a test link.

darth_ender said:

So Ralph Brown is another Bingo sock. Great. Just great. Is anyone who they seem to be???

Good Ol' pat man is!

Maybe.

darth_ender said:

And I gotta be honest, just because one disagrees with American politics, to judge all Americans, or at least those who lean conservative as insane or moronic is, to put it mildly, offensive. And to judge someone, not based upon their individual qualities, but rather as a member of a group does, in fact, qualify as prejudice bigotry, even if someone wears the proud credentials of being pro-gay marriage and anti-racism.

Being from different cultures, our worldviews are different. But to say one is superior than the other is not as all-accepting as so many liberals claim to be.

I agree.

What's cool is that many people would consider me to be a "raging liberal" and you and I get on well.

My intent was to promote a philosophical discussion. It just seems like it pissed everyone off. Not many from Debate Team, I guess.

Bingowings said:

It's Ralph Brown.

Yes, but that's taking it at face-value.

Drum roll, please? ;)

Bingowings said:

Nobody should take anything at face value, especially this post.

Or that avatar!

Anyway, zombie84, how's v2 of the book coming along?

What if the USA becomes a THX1138-level dystopia? Recent events and legislature would suggest that we're headed down that path...

Really? Really?

I assume you're questioning the latter sentence in what you've quoted.

Notice that "[heading] down that path" does not imply that it will happen tomorrow.

My career requires me to work to secure the safety of this country and uphold its constitution. I assure you that, unless we work for the same institution(s), I am in a more advantageous position to evaluate whether or not that constitution is being respected by those in power.

zombie84 said:

Answer: overthrowing the government is not on our minds. Just hearing that sounds genuinely insane. Seriously, is that something Americans think about? This perplexes me.

I doubt that it is something that Americans regularly (if ever) think about; myself included.

Still, we had to do it in the 1770s. If our weapons technology was not somewhat evenly-matched and our access to said weapons unrestricted, then we probably wouldn't have even considering taking up the fight.

(Edit: I think that this is what drove the Founding Fathers to write it into the Bill of Rights.)

zombie84: I don't really know where I stand on the whole gun issue.

With that being said, I do have a question: Without access to similarly-powerful arms, how would Canadian citizens overthrow their government if it were to become oppressive and tyrannical?

Do know that I am not arguing for or against citizens bearing arms. My intent is for this to be a philosophical discussion, nothing more.

Dingus.

zombie84 said:

This is why I don't get into discussion about American politics. Americans come across as fucking idiotic maniacs to most Canadians and we're too polite to risk offending our neighbours. The truth is that most of us think you are all psychopaths, for stuff like the shooting in the first place and then reactions like this in the second place. Good luck with your gun-obsessed mess.

I hope I don't come across that way! ;)

HAHAHAHAHA!

SilverWook: Is the Japan LD of THX 1138 better than the US LD? Is it a different transfer?

Now my wife is pissed that I keep chanting: "Darth Cold, only you could be so bold."
