So which thief are you?

LMAo...ah, there are times I realize that some posters are just dumb as dirt, and other times I'd be insulting the dirt. One, your...topic question as you will was just this: Simple question. Does Darth Vader ever get a clue and figure out that Palpatine played him like a 2 dollar flute? Which impl...

Hey asshat learn to read. You closed my thread with one of your smart assed limped dicked comments for no reason. I asked if we ever see proof that Anakin figures out that Palapatine was playing him. Your asshat comment is "didnt you see ESB or Jedi?" Well fuckhead NEITHER of these show us...

Simple question. Does Darth Vader ever get a clue and figure out that Palpatine played him like a 2 dollar flute?

Not really?

Yep and the Donation of Constantine was real too.

We all know the church has rewritten the Bible many times. They have thrown out sections and added new as different sects were destroyed or brought back into the fold. Just to nitpick....they claim to have never rewritten a single word. In fact they wouldn't DARE touch the sacred text. All they did...

As far as I know you dont automatically go to Hell for sinning. Things like pennance and repenting will keep you out of Hell.

Also at least according to the Church doing certain good deeds (like giving money to the church of course) will balance your account and keep you out of Hell.

I think in the film atleast it was mentioned that the lesser rings might have been destroyed by Dragon Fire but the one ring itself was just to powerful to be destroyed anywhere but mount doom. Yeah. I did a check. Gandalf says that even the greatest dragon who ever lived would have been unable to ...

I believe that Smaug was the last of the dragons. Do we know if he could have possibly destroyed the ring if he breathed on Bilbo? I know there were two parts to destroying the ring. The first was extreme heat. The second though was equally important. It had to be taken somewhere magical enough to o...

Two what-ifs here based on the One Ring. 1. Bilbo never finds the ring. When it drops from Gollum it is found by a Misty Mountain goblin. 2. Bilbo does find the ring but being too cocky he gets himself cooked into cinders by Smaug who then to his surprise finds this little ring that somehow survived...

We all know the church has rewritten the Bible many times. They have thrown out sections and added new as different sects were destroyed or brought back into the fold. So lets say that somewhere right before the Crusades a few new lines are added. Not only are they just new lines but they are in fac...

2. Police figuring these asshat protestors are more likely to cause trouble and skirt the edge to irritate a cop into doing something just because there are cameras there to record it all. Right or wrong they are just being pragmatic not political. Yes because that's a great idea, the Police are al...

Assuming Han Solo was to die in a decent EU novel and die in a decent way, should he die at the helm of the Falcon with her going with him?

Or should he die in some other manner that leaves the Falcon behind for a new captain to command?

One example that come to mind was an officer that came upon a typical highschooler fight. Two teenage boys slugging it out surrounded by a few dozen classmates all yelling and cheering. The officer decided that instead of pushing his way through he set his taser on stun setting and just zapped his ...

Some do and some don't. It depends on the department. Some have dropped it for the same reason I see the eventual dropping of the taser. The ability to use it and abuse it was just too great to make it worth it. I'm of the mind that the taser is an excellent less than lethal weapon for situations w...

You can play the neutral observer card, but then say in a combat zone and a journalist is in the thick of it and perhaps gets shot. Do the soldiers that represent, perhaps, the nation the journalist is from have a duty to go get him, endangering soldiers lives for a neutral observer? I would make i...

So the next step would be to do a study comparing events where a journalist was there and was not there. If there is no connection then the journalist is fine. If the study shows that more property is damaged or more people are hurt then one can stary to suspect that people are feeding off the crime...

That reminds me..do they still carry batons? As far as I know they do. But the baton design has changed over the years from what I can tell. Some do and some don't. It depends on the department. Some have dropped it for the same reason I see the eventual dropping of the taser. The ability to use it...

Simple question. If a journalist covering an event realizes that their coverage is causing the event to spin further and further out of control are they morally obligated to turn off their cameras and leave? Example to make it clearer. Journalist and cameraman is following peaceful protestors. A sma...

I don’t know about that, planets will always have a strong appeal because that way if you get a leak in the window you don’t die of decompression. Nor does this happen in space habitats. Punching a hole is much easier said than done, and even if one does occur, if it is a square meter hole, it will...

Another issue that's come out of this is the St Paul police are going after the watchdog groups first. IE the various groups that do nothing but follow around Protest groups with Camera's to watch how the police respond. They are all over New York City and have helped catch dozens of cops deliberat...

Also like to point out that is not really an article either. It is a press release by this organization poorly disguised as an article.

News articles dont ask you to go out and call your reps or harass public officials.

The problem is that the article is addressing two issues at once. The initial two detentions, which were clearly out of line, and Goodman's White Knight delusions, which were foolish. Yes, one caused the other, but you can't tar all three with 'But Amy Goodman's an idiot for trying to bust the othe...

I think the issue is that the law is being used a way to suppress the journalists, if the article is true. -Say, for example, you are reporting on an event. Corrupt Police Officer #2390 decides to arrest you on a BS charge in order to get you out of there (such as the aformentioned "suspicion ...

I do not know all of the specifics but the article points something important out. She was arrested for trying to stop the illegal detainment. Now considering the tone of the article I am sure "illegal detainment" meant arrest. So in effect this dumb bitch tried to physically interpose her...
