Also, what about poor conservatives or rich anti-conservatives? Why am I wasting my time arguing with this?

Poor conservatives are brainswahed by the elite, and rich anti-conservatives are just overcompensating for their inherent sociopathy. All of history’s tragedies stem from wealth, and the ideologies used to justify it.

You sound really jealous of rich people.

It’s weird going onto WaybackMachine and checking out old OT.com posts from 2003. Everyone seems so nice, as opposed to the depressing, sarcastic and smart ass comments most people give today. I wish I was a member back then.

I’m not sure we don’t have toddlers posting now, nothing would have stopped you back then! 😉

Well, maybe, but I didn’t own a computer until I was nine, which may have limited me.

You say that like it’s unusual to not get a computer before you turn 9.

4K restoration on Star Wars
Time

Zombie said a long time ago in this thread that he heard from within Lucasfilm that they had been in the process of digitally scanning and archiving every single solitary piece of film from the Star Wars series, and that’s why there were so many deleted scenes and old-school documentaries on the blu ray box set. It makes me wonder to what extent some of the work regarding an OT restoration was already done when Disney bought Lucas out. I have a feeling that the 4K Star Wars restoration that apparently started under Lucas was going to have more changes than the bluray we got ended up having.

Is it alright to insult someone if they’re an awful person?

Let’s assume you think Rosie O’Donnell is an awful person. It’s alright to insult her for being awful, not for being overweight.

Donald Trump is a vile person but I never insult his appearance.

I wasn’t thinking it was Rosie.

Spit it out then.

Schumer.

Doesn’t matter who it is.

Jokes about obesity aren’t allowed anymore?

General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread
Time

Are all of the “stand-alone films” going to be prequels that directly lead in to the OT and require a thorough understanding of the original films in order to understand them? I guess technically the “Star Wars Stories” don’t necessarily have to be standalone. I’m not sure how I feel because if we have to get a backstory to every OT thing every other year, I’ll just be completely burnt out on everything Star Wars related, but I couldn’t possibly care less about some random Star Wars stuff that has nothing to do with the OT (which basically means it has nothing to do with Star Wars as far as I’m concerned).

Are we really at a point now where all jokes are a fireable offense?

We’ve been there for a few years now. Just today I was told not to make jokes or possible action could be taken against me.

Jesus Christ. I guess in theory that could make sense depending on the joke and the intent, but comedians getting fired (or punished in this case) for jokes?

Devil’s advocate: it’s a silly sign, but it’s also supposed to be a joke. And, like most jokes, there’s some truth behind the intent. Which is to say, obviously women have far more rights than guns (don’t think anyone doesn’t literally think that), what they’re trying to say is that they wish protecting women’s rights were as important to politicians as protecting “gun’s rights” (preventing gun control).

I still don’t agree with the premise that women’s rights are under attack in the United States.

Looks like over 3 million women disagree with you, and since they’re women, I trust they know the issue more than you do.

Well, 60,000,000 people disagree with you on Donald Trump. See how that’s not a convincing argument?
