Also, consider your intellectual dishonesty (i.e., changing the words of quotations) noted.

 When did I do that?

You didn't. My mistake. I made a typo, and when you quoted my post it included the typo and I thought you had changed the quote. Sorry about that. I'll remove that false charge and fix my typo.

 It's probably better off if you just leave your own mistake where it is, so that reading this discussion is less confusing for others.

According to "Wookieepedia", the X-wing was first used at the "Battle of Turkana", the year before the events of the original Star Wars movie ("1 BBY"), after stealing X-wing prototypes at the "Battle of Fresia" (also in "1 BBY"). "Wookieepedia" also says that the X-wing remained in use for over 40 years. 

I don't know where any of that information actually comes from 

If you check the citation on Wookieepedia, it credits the game Empire At War, but I'm positive its origin is the older game X-Wing. Either way it's EU.

Do you not see the tabs in your browser? At the top of the inbox? Lighting up colors when you get emails in each?

Lighting up colors? No definitely not. They're all subtle grey, same basic color as everything else, and they blend perfectly into the background right underneath the ads that show up in the area of the screen I always ignore. 

That's strange. They definitely light up colors for me when a new email appears in each one. Which browser?

The NFL was fine with it as long as they didn't have to see it now that they saw it they are upset.

 The NFL was fine with it as long as the public didn't see it. Now that the public has seen it, thus increasing public outcry, they fired him. Now, the public should have had a stronger response the first time, but it's a lot easier to get upset about graphic images than it is for just the idea of violence w/ aftermath photos. He should've been fired the first time, but at least they caught up with themselves?

Although, should we fire people for this? I'd like to know if there's a history of abuse here, or if this is the first time. If it's the first time, he seeks help and never does this again, that sounds like behavior we ought to promote (you know, other than the behavior of never doing this).
