Re: Threads that make us Laugh, Cry, or Both
Yeah, some of the basic concepts of scaling upon scaling may not be wrong, but the idea tries to quantify things into a metric that's real questionable and completely discounts some of the most overwhelming aspects that form trends like the existence and effectiveness of different modes of delivery for character resources.
Next let's use horsepower to compare the performance of a particular rocket car versus a plane in a race around the world, starting west from New York.

Disproof by counterexample: "I don't."
Current pet peeves:
Misuse of "per se". It means "[in] itself", not "precisely". Learn English.
Malformed singular possessives. It's almost always supposed to be 's.

Wow...just wow, there are lot people just shooting off at mouth and using incomplete knowledge to back up their claims. This probably has more to due with people throwing there own personally beliefs into a nonsensical absolutist "Force" which was further tarnish by the "prequel trilogy", which was utter shit, and trying to use extreme example to prove their point.

Re: Threads that make us Laugh, Cry, or Both
Man, that Christianity bit really pissed me off. I was tempted to post "The reason Jefferson explained that the 1st amendment implied "Separation of Church and State" was to keep assholes like you from telling me that I have to be Christian.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that everyone over at WotC is a born-again Evangelical, and I'd just get myself banned.

Re: Threads that make us Laugh, Cry, or Both
A big mistake that foreigners I've met sometimes make is that American blacks n whites = automatic Christian, which is also not true.
Unlike like more racially and culturally homogenous countries, we have a choice of religion (to some degree, at least better than, say, China or Iran?...)

Re: Threads that make us Laugh, Cry, or Both
Some guy from the jedi thread wrote:So? Seperation of church and state os absolutely rediculous. It's not part of our constitution nor any other nations that I can think of. Whay wold the Republic have it? That hardly makes the Jedi evil any more then it wold make Christianity evil. Oh wait...
Anybody notice this? I mean wow, just wow.
Reminds me of the time I had to take a course on geography at Ivytech. You had to participate in messageboard discussions or lose your participation grade. When discussing the future of Europe, one guy said that he thought that Europe would become more homogeneous, with one language and one religion, just like us.

Every time somebody tries to tell me that freedom of religion does not logically entail freedom from religion, Yahweh kills a kitten.
Speaking of which, where do you people get all these pics of kittens? I'm particularly interested in the Emo Kitten and the Dunecat.

There's a Jedi religion? Boy am I out of touch. That has got to be the most incoherent thread I've seen in a long time. And the question of Jefferson and the first commandment was completely bonkers. Jefferson only cared about idiots like German King George being head of state and head of the official required state religion.

Re: Threads that make us Laugh, Cry, or Both
I think this one's going to get real fun real fast.
Seriously, it has a lot of great elements, like tarkin sounding very reasonable, cries of gishes being broken, and some delightfully willful parsing of words like "usually", "trumps", and "irrelevant". (Note this is written as of post 27 and that first clause is not a blank check, so to speak.)

When tarkin sticks to just the rules, he very often can sound reasonable. The bullshit comes in when he starts that loose/power/anything goes crap.
You can't fix stupid.
