Fail Quotes

The WTNH commenters justified killing a 12 year old.

I know Shane doesn't have a biggest scumbag award, but if he did, I'd nominate them for it.  Maybe IE nomination, instead.

WTNH commenters really deserve a lifetime achievement award. They make the worst youtube comments look like highly respected debates of rational discourse.

You can also add colbert report to biggest scumbag, although the free keene people arent exactly helping their case.

Nevermind that literally ALL of these questions had already been answered before Disney decided to scrap it all.

And that proper literature doesn't demand that everything be explained. (Then again, "Star Wars" and "proper literature" are rarely used in the same sentence together...)

I didn't make it past the first 36 seconds. I have a feeling it just gets worse as it goes:

The prophecy, I actually like Moviebob's theory that it was actually a ploy by the sith.  I mean really, them believing in it worked pretty nicely in Darth Sidious' favour didn't it?

The other bloke's latest comment to me.  #3 primarily.  Oy.  Brits.  If I gave enough of a shit, here would be my response to #3:

3) "is relative" and there's more of it in TN compared to my homestate of MD as the link explains.  Relative =/= subjective.  If it was subjective, you couldn't say one place is free compared to another.
Actually:  http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking the UK is slightly less free, but not by much.

Yeah, them brits love their state.  Something me, Hawkeye and Dave have learned time and time again.

Meh, the Sith's hat is basically turning everything to their personal advantage, no matter what it is.  Darth Sidious (probably) didn't create the trade taxation issue in the first movie, he just exploited it to rise to the apex of power in the Republic. (One of the few well-written aspects of the film is how he uses what's probably a routine matter to manufacture a crisis that gets him to the top, including the fact that economic problems are what kills powerful states, not force of arms or subversion, which just finish off the husk that remains. The Republic is effectively dead by the time he becomes Chancellor, but part of his plan is making sure that nobody notices for a long time.)

The whole vid if you want details.  It's actually a very plausible idea and even kinda redeems the prequels to an extent.

It's an interesting idea, although he missed the fact that this interpretation is hard to come to since we, the audience, know all along that Anakin can't possibly be the fulfillment of the prophecy since we've all seen the original trilogy already and know precisely where his story has to go.

I also have absolutely no confidence in George Lucas actually being CLEVER about his storytelling. He seemed quite pleased with always giving Anakin and Luke the same decisions to make and them each making different choices and then being constrained by events to the same path, and I really don't see what's so clever about giving your central characters the illusion of choice.

What's the best way to protest the travesty of Ferguson and the Michael Brown case?

Why, by denying business to people trying to make an honest living!

*sigh*

I'd bet dollars to dimes that the idea of not paying taxes to the government they're protesting against would be met with "Who will build the roads?" or, more ironically, "who will fund the police?"
