However, I must say the "Chosen One"/Vader is space Jesus thing is so retarded. He didn't have to be the most powerful of all or the center of some grand prophecy.
The PT really hammers the point home that Vader definitely isn't a 'chosen one' or a supremely powerful Jedi. He happens to be the center of a huge change in the balance, but they never say he was supposed to be particularly powerful. The whole point of even having the prophecy in the film is to demonstrate how misled the Jedi were.

I'd be more surprised if really good novels came out to be honest.
Tarkin was pretty good. The one with Kanan and Hera was bad, but nowhere near as bad as Aftermath. I honestly couldn't continue after three pages.

I think the worst decision they've made so far is to show the story of the 30 years between VI and VII through shitty YA novels. Aftermath was unreadable after a couple pages.
Since when is there canon between the two?
The line of books "Journey to the Force Awakens" takes place after RotJ. They're young adult novels, and suck ass so far.

I wrote my 45 page undergrad thesis the night before it was to be presented. I made the presentation an hour before giving it. Passed with flying colors.
Pressure gets shit done.

When are you going to make that rebuttal about how Plinkett is wrong?
He's overly pedantic and appeals to what worked in the OT as the only direction that could work too often.
Kind of silly to complain that a 90-minute deconstruction of the film is being pedantic.

How about Darth Maul, are you not excited to see what they might do with him?
Please god, no more Savage Oppress bullshit.

They've definitely got the right to ban sale and possession of drugs.
And why is that again?
Commerce Clause, Necessary and Proper Clause, and the 10th Amendment which disseminates all other powers to the states, who have deferred to Congressional laws, e.g., the Controlled Substance Act.
The government doesn't explicitly have the right to regulate what substances you put into your body, but they sure as hell have the right to regulate harmful substances from entering the economy or be produced domestically.
That's a very pedantic way of justifying the government's capacity to dictate our lives.
Thanks.

I support total legalization of almost every recreational drug. I'm just providing the legal reasoning the courts have used for decades to justify drug prohibition.
Okay, but not really sure why you're appealing to the law when we're clearly trying to debate the merit of it.
Because I was asked by two people what the legal basis of the government's prohibition on drugs is and felt like contributing to the thread academically instead of the usual echo chamber about immutable liberty and such.

Curious as to where they are given the right?
No, I'm not. Are you?

An example of where changing framerate can produce a desired artistic effect: Mad Max's opening scene.
30fps is fine, 60 fps can look better though.

You mean they planned a 2003 invasion in 2002? Oh the horror. This is unbelievable. We can't stand for this! BUSH MUST HANG!
It means he was planning on waging an aggressive war before he had approval to do so.
Would you expect the president to ask for a declaration of war without having a plan to carry out that war?
This whole thing is nonsense.
He wasn't just making the plans, though. He was forming alliances when he was still making his case to congress.
Making alliances isn't part of planning? This is news to me.
While, yes, alliances are a part of planning, they are beyond what he had authority to do. They show he was committing the USA to an aggressive war well before he had the authority to do so. It's where it goes from drawing up the plans on paper to where war is an inevitability
Shit Charlie, it's just a one page letter mentioning that the UK would support the U.S. if we went to war. You're blowing this way out of proportion.

I'm not sure how this equates to treason. The invasion of Iraq was a long time coming, with years of planning. Of course Bush was working with our closest ally, and of course they publicly pushed for a diplomatic solution.

Clinton isn't responsible for Benghazi, though.
plenty of people think she is, as demonstrated by the investigations
The FBI investigation is in regards to her department's cover-up of the incident and deletion of emails to hide her actions. Nobody worth acknowledging thinks she was responsible for the attack itself.

I support the death penalty but only through painless methods with an effort to make it as unstressful as possible. Something akin to Soylent Green's method would be ideal.
I'm really not okay with family of the victims being present -- or anyone. Not sure if that's a TV thing but it shouldn't exist.

When? I only did VoG once, and never got to to Crota's raid.
doing vog atm and we just finished crota a bit ago
We can do another tomorrow though
Sure, any idea what time (GMT)? Also, are you guys just blowing through it with LL300 gear or does it still have some challenge to it? GT: Viva Redemption. If I'm on Destiny I'm down to raid any time.

She explicitly threatened to kick a pregnant woman in the stomach, so yeah I think her arrest is totally justified.
Agreed, but championing it under the banner of 'Islamophobia' and then involving the state to broaden the definition of Islamophobia as a legally punishable crime is where I take caveat with all this.
While it clearly is a case of Islamophobia, she was actually arrested for a 'racially aggravated public order offence'. Basically a hate crime. The primary offence is the public disorder though.

Electric cars are the future. They're feasible now, economical in the near future, the cost (both monetary and environmental) of electricity is much less than gasoline, and it would mean less reliance on the Middle East.
The energy density of oil will probably mean we won't be replacing airplanes or high performance vehicles' engines with batteries any time soon, though. Oil is here to stay, but we can definitely reduce our need for it by a significant amount.
