This is the third time someone has said that to me; Jameous and yerssot preceed you... it's almost as if people I think I argue with people just for the heck if it... I do BELIEVE what I say, you know...
To quote Q (who I am clearly as evolved and intelligent as), 'Heavy is the burden of being me...'
And back to serious land... does anyone actually agree with Yerssot here?
Yerssot, it is NOT your job to decide when something is on or off topic. Not only did I simply reply to KJ I also brought this straight back on-topic.
And I was seriously trying to find some people with opinions who agreed with you. It was in no way an attempt to just try and weigh numbers on each side.
Meanwhile, I repeat that we have nothing to make us think that Jedi can use the Force in any capacity other than being local, and plenty to think that they CAN'T.
I got a bit carried away I think.
And for the record: I don't argue for the heck of it (that is if someone would accuse me), I have the same reason as you: I believe what I say
But I don't understand why they can't; every needed thing is there. You say you can think of many reason why they can't, I'm terribly sorry, but I can't think of one.
That you can choke a guy for fun, doesn't make any sence, even for a Sith; that's a person less that makes money, and money is power
I am sure Vader would tell you that the aura of fear he creates by such off-hand killing creates an efficiency far more valuable than a few dead officers.
What we have to think that they can';t is common sense, the fact that they have never done it (when it would have been TREMENDOUSLY useful for them to have done so!) and the unused script extract from TPM which pretty much states that Jedi cannot do it.
With that against you, you will need some proof for your arguments. WHich you will not get.
