Too late. I’ll never sleep again.

How did you even do that?!

This is a question for Jay.

Lol and now I’m looking on desktop and it’s super small.

Oh my god, whatever that is (giant smiley face apparently) looks hideous on my phone.

Did you just compliment me?

We both agree that my opinion on the matter was my opinion on the matter. Not sure what the problem is.

I’m going to leave out the sexy bits and focus on the nightmarish plot.

For some reason, a clandestine group of Hollywood higher-ups decided that certain movies—chosen arbitrarily—no longer existed. All copies were inexplicably purged from home collections in the middle of the night. I spent a night in a small hotel, and happened to have some of the movies that were banned with me, thus not at home to be destroyed. It was entirely coincidental, as I didn’t know about the purge.

I got a text from someone saying his house was on fire and he needed help, but I kept either passing out or being attacked and knocked out by my brother every time I would try to leave and help him. Eventually I made it to his place, but everything was fine by then.

I had to go back to the high school for some event, and while there, I started catching on to the grand movie conspiracy, because I noticed people disappearing or being murdered just for mentioning the movies that were banned. I went home and saw a disc explode. I figured pretty soon that I was going to die, but when someone arrived to kill me, I killed him first. Then I realized that society was meaningless, and began roaming the streets naked.

Then, it all went crazy.

Then?

I implore others to not just listen to Mfm, and actually watch the videos I linked to and then see what you think of Mike The Cop.

I’m sorry, but I agree with mfm here. I don’t have the time, and I really am not interested in being required to invest half and hour each to such videos.

Fine, but then don’t make your mind up about the guy without watching what he has to say.

Who has time to sit down and watch an hours worth of shitty content just so they can argue with someone else online?

Warbler?

As I have repeated and never gotten an answer for: what is your problem with videos?

Yes you have gotten an answer for it, multiple times. chyron basically got it though, I’m not spending a bunch of time watching a video when I could read the exact same information in a minute or two.

Do what you wish, but don’t make judgments about the guy without hearing what he has to say as MFM did.

I didn’t.

Also I’m at work.

watch it later when you are home.

No.

Oh please. Did we criticise Ewoks because of ‘toxic masculinity’? Did we balk at the plotholes created by the prequels because of latent sexism? Did we hate Midichlorians because it threatened the patriarchy? Did we cringe at Padme/Anakin’s romance dialogue because we’re trapped in some selfish power-fantasy? No, these were simply film critiques. Nothing more, nothing less. And despite a few racist/sexist imbeciles on the internet (which are everywhere - it’s not a ‘Star Wars thing’) TLJ is getting exactly the same treatment as every other SW movie. This ‘toxic fandom’ crap is getting old. We should be able, as fans, to discuss potential plotholes and canon discrepancies without being told by some sanctimonious article that we don’t understand the nuances of this brilliant film because we’re secretly struggling with our own deeply held sexism/racism.

Must have hit a little close to the mark to get you all riled up like that.

Sorry! I hadn’t seen your post!

Ha, no worries. Just funny that it wasn’t til you posted that people noticed. I think some people have me on “ignore” (and perhaps justifiably so).

i disagree with pretty much everything you have said about everything since your first post in the thread you first posted in.

I don’t know that your second question makes too much sense. It’s sort of like asking whether I am a Constitutional absolutist. That Amendment states:

Let try to re-word it. You said you were not a “states rights absolutist”. Are situations where you are not absolutist in that regard, situations where we either

1. are dealing with a power delegated to Feds by the Constitution

and/or

2. are dealing with a power prohibited to the states by the Constitution

When you say you are not a “states rights absolutist”, you mean that you are not pro-states-rights in situations where the Constitution is not pro-states-rights, correct?

When I say I am not a “states rights absolutist” I mean the states don’t always win. Health insurance was an example.

It does not mean I think the federal government should exercise its authority to the maximum extent under the Constitution. There are areas where the federal government can act under the Constitution but I think should exercise restraint and instead respect state laws (eg marijuana).

How about medical marijuana?

The FDA should regulate that. In states where pot is legal it may not make much of a difference, but allow people in other states to have approved medication.

I’m not in favor of legalization and I never had an interest in the stuff. So my desire for the federal government to step back isn’t self-serving. It’s partly based on my view that the federal government is overstepping the bounds of its authority and partly on the view that there is value in states forging their own paths, especially where an activity is so broadly practiced with relatively little harm.

Okay, so the federal government can’t ban you from imbibing a substance, but the state can? Why is that any better? This is what I mean when I complain that states’ rights is bullshit when it’s all about the rights that states can deprive you of.

Because people disagree. In a democratic system that is a really important fact. If I had my way, pot wouldn’t be legal. That is the law at the federal level. So ask the people in the nine states where recreational use or 30 states where medical use is legal “how that is better.”

I get your impulse of wanting your policy preferences enacted everywhere. Who doesn’t want that? But of course that’s not how reality works. Where the federal government is the first and last stop, change is stifled. The constituencies of the various states have different views so let them make the laws they want. Granted you won’t like all choices in all states, but that is inevitable no matter what level of government choices are made.

As Jay said this isn’t difficult to understand. He and I both pointed out that national change has often happened because states had freedom to act.

Nonetheless, the differences in state laws can cause inconveniences. Sometimes the state boundary lines can go right through a house, meaning that pot could be legal in on part of the house but illegal in another part.

Can you cite an actual example? That sounds awesome.

Yeah, Warbler sounds like a bong half empty kind of guy.
