Thank you Mah.
Thanks Mah, that was nice of you. Sorry Tex, for making you faint, I have been out of sirculation for a lilttle while. 😉 I haven't been in a world where people like TPM, most of the people I know thought it... sucked. 😠 I personally loved it... I have not watched my copy in a while, perhaps I will today. Oh yeah and, for all of you people that thought Jar Jar was annoying, here is another voice saying............ HE WAS AWESOME!!! 😄
The ones that come to my mind right now are: Forrest Gump, Flash Gordon, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Forrest Gump because of the humanity of his character. Flash Gordon at the scene where the hawkmen attack the Imperial shuttle (because it reminds me of how a lot people in real life have lost their spirit and would probably never do such a thing). And the scene in Temple of Doom after Indy liberates the children from the Thugi cult and they all go running back to the village and their families come running out to join them. Why can't real life be like that?
Which one? Paranoid right-wing redneck psycho club? So YOU're the one who deleted it! Why did you do that?!
If you think I'm borderline bin Laden, you're sorely mistaken. We redneck "psychos" are like mutants. As Professor Xavier puts it, "We're not what you think we are...not all of us." If anything, we gun-nut survivalist types are the opposite of bin Laden, Hussein, Al Quaeda, and the Taliban. If there was an invasion, and we were the last line of civil defense, you'd sing a different tune.
And by the way, I got the term 'paranoid right-wing redneck psycho' from Tremors 3: Back to Perfection. At the end, Melvin (a character also from part one) calls Burt a "sorry sick paranoid right-wing redneck psycho" and also a few other less-complementary things.
We're not terrorists. We simply believe that citizens should rule and government should serve. Government is the true terrorist. And by government, I mean the whole concept of government as a ruling entity. In America, government is the servant, not the master - a vehicle for the people. It's our historic destiny to do battle with the forces of tyranny all across the world, along with our allies.
No wonder I'm a Star Wars fan!
P.S.: Jar Jar is a real American hero. It doesn't matter that he succeeds by dumb luck (so does Vash). What matters is that when duty called, he went, and he did his best. He always tries to do the right thing, even when he screws everything up. How a person could hate someone like that and pretend to retain a shred of humanity is quite beyond my capacity.
Actually, it isn't luck that Jar Jar succeeds by, it's the Force. Remember, Obi-Wan later says that in his experience there's no such thing as luck. And also, Qui-Gon's always talking about the Living Force. Jar Jar is a personification of the Living Force.

And another thing about deleting my post - I consider that political intolerance. I don't know how many other people on this board are from America, but we Americans live by the Constitution which is an acknowledgement of the Rights of Man ('man' as in 'human' for you femme supremacists out there). All the freedom acknowledged in the Bill of Rights pertains to all people everywhere. You violated my freedom of speech - my freedom to share ideas with others. Communication is one of the the keys to liberty. Don't deny us communication. I thought that's what these forums were for!

And Texas, thanks for the "heart of gold" thing. 🙂 I take after Jar Jar in that way. 😄
Jar Jar makes me cry because the entire universe is against him even though he tries his best to do what's right. 🙁 Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan both treat him badly, Obi-Wan acting like a pompous jerk. Anakin even gives an evil eye when they're in Watto's shop. Watto pushes him out of the way instead of asking him to move aside. Padme doesn't even say "you're welcome" when he says "tankoo" after she pulls his hand out of the turbine. His own people banished him. Boss Nass wants him dead. His family disowned him. And our own world mostly hates him and would rather have nothing to do with him! 🙁
And yet, through it all, he remains kind-hearted and innocent. 🙂
Or maybe I'm just a sap.

i still think that's disturbing
(mah, King Jedi, sorry)
HavocHound, I didn't delete your thread, I'm not that smart. And I do agree that we should speak out minds here.
But you say all form of government should go away, but then you hide behind the Bills of Rights' freedom of speech. Arn't you being a bit hypocritical there, buddy? 🙄
