All I can say is if the Church in this country still stood for anything the next time there was a disaster in this country they would refuse to help and they would bar their doors to all the hypocrites who come running looking for protection from the Church.  You have made your choice now you have to live with it and never complain about the fallout when God with draws his protection from this country.

 This is the attitude Jesus spoke against more than any other...
Rants like this do nothing but embarrass the church.

And this thread is for good news...
I guess the good news in your post is that your leaving the forums and only talking to people who go to your church for the rest of your life?
Sounds fair.

Also, who said that churches will be forced to officiate gay marriages?

 And why would a gay couple want to be married by someone who doesn't approve of their lives anyway?
Wouldn't everyone want the person officiating their wedding to be happy to be doing it? Shouldn't the groom be the only person there under duress?

That was such great news to wake up to!
There will be much celebrating tonight. Coincidence that it was announced on a Friday...?
I think not!

Equality! Freedom! Hooray! Huzzah!

Well that is fantastic...!

Thanks Post!

Fantastic news!

I'm still not letting you near my neckbeard! :o)

Aww, c'mon! There's nothin' better than a straight razor shave!

Do you do leeching? That's what I need -- leechs, a lot of 'em, applied to the face and neck.

You bet! I have a friend who runs an oddities shop and he could supply the leeches!

DrCrowTStarwars said:

the world needs more barbers.  As a guy I am sick of having to go into hair dressers and deal with being offered all sorts of products and only having magazines that appeal to girls to read.

I may be an old stick in the mud but I think the world needs more barber shops.

I agree!

I am officially enrolled in barber school!
So, if in seven months any of you need any barbering or minor surgery, lemme know!

I should also add that the guy who owns the shop I go to has promised me their third (and empty) chair.
So I'll have a job at a great shop right out of school!

Neckbeards on the other hand... yeah, clean that up.

I shave only mustache regularly and my "beard" proper approximately once per month.

Does this mean I have a neckbeard?

 Do you shave the hair off of your neck? If not, then, yes, you have a neckbeard. And it looks bad.

Naw, you go right ahead and rock that dark side.  It is more seductive after all.  Er, so I've heard. *cough*

Truth.

Looks like little Annie fell to the Darkside

Goatees lead to handlebars, handlebars lead to neckbeards, neckbeards lead to mutton chops.

 Is this a personal attack?

There's nothin' wrong with goatees, handlebars or chops.
Neckbeards on the other hand... yeah, clean that up.

Southern California represent.  It's been hot, but with no humidity, it's bearable. I don't know how you guys deal with humidity everywhere else.

 Ugh. Try Missouri. I don't know how we deal with it either.
The name of the state is very applicable.

it's all about young Sebastian Shaw.

 That's really cool!
Needs longer sideburns though.
And the necklace is a bit femme.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

^ Best post on the forums.

  This actually looks much more like what I'd imagined Anikin would look like before the PT!

How does that Chewie in the morph seem off?

 Beyond the hair pattern/color differences, it's also much softer looking while in the OT it seemed quite course. They eyes seemed more visible (and real?) in the OT (In the trailer the face seems to have some CGI goin' on). Also, his eyes in tho OT slanted down and now they slant up, giving him a Kenny Rodgers facelift look. Which is the story I'm going with.

TOS. Love it.
I've hated all the other Star Trek stuff I've seen.

Sometime around 1995 (I was about 15) I realized that ROTJ wasn't nearly as good a movie as the previous two. Many of the decisions seem to be made with the mindset of a businessman, not a filmmaker or storyteller and, for me, that's where it all falls apart.
Then the SE added ROTJ's goofiness to the other two films (especially SW) and added EVEN MORE silly crap to ROTJ, making that film unwatchable.

I ran over a phillips screwdriver on the road yesterday. It rolled out of the truck in front of me and I hit it with both driver side tires while going about 70 mph. It didn't puncture, but gave me a brief scare.
I do hope it wasn't the reincarnation of someone I liked...

Well, I guess this does tell us that Chewie still weirdly off?

The eyes look more normal in other promo shots.

 Got any pics or links?
He looks weird in the trailer and in every promo shot I've seen.

DrCrowTStarwars said: It's drinking?

What's wrong with a bear taking a drink? They gotta stay alive.
And I still don't see what Jesus/Christianity, wine and being underage has to do with bears.

What does Jesus and wine and being underage have to do with bears?

It wasn't quite a ruse. She probably dressed and spoke that way as member of the senate all the time.

True, but even then the posh act and dress are disguising the fact that she's much more involved the Rebel military. The only time she uses that accent is when trying to fool Vader and Tarkin. We never see her addressing the senate, but we do see her directly involved with delivering stolen plans, viewing battle schematics, briefing fighter pilots on the details of a mission, helping lead an evacuation, a rescue mission and an attack group against an Imperial base and prove that she's handy with a gun.
Seems she's much more involved with the military side of things than the politics and she's certainly depicted as a fighter more so than a princess.
So, back to the point, the new rebel troop-esque costume seems appropriate, where as her in a royal gown looking like a Queen would not.

She looked really hot in the medal ceremony.

FTFY ;)

30 years leading the Resistance, she looks more like a General than Royalty,  I can see that happening

 The only time we see her looking like Royalty is in Star Wars where she's trying to pass as an innocent princess and not a member of the Rebellion.
The dress and accent were a ruse to hide the fact that she's on an important military mission.
In all the other films she's dressed battle ready. (with the exception of the gown she puts on to blend in at Cloud City, the slave outfit Jabba puts her in and that stupid dress the Ewoks happened to have laying around...)

Hmm, I was expecting Leia to look more... regal, I guess.  It's too reminiscent of Tantive IV rebels for my tastes.

 Why? She isn't a princess on a diplomatic mercy mission, she's part of the rebel alliance and a traitor!
I love the costume!
