The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

I lol'd. You, of all people, lecture persons here on "selectivity" concerning the interpretation of sources. 👆

Do I honestly believe that Palpatine is a black hole of the Force? No. But the point is that, using your own standards and logic chain, I can arrive at the conclusion that Dooku was speaking literally.

Yeah. Why would anyone assume, that you would ever resort to things like taking obvious hyperbole literally? I mean, with the exception of your long running history of you doing exactly that here. Caeci caecos ducentes. 😂

I lol'd too. The irony of that statement coming from you isn't lost on anybody, I'm sure.

Veneficus is going to be pissed, lol.

I have come to take a long view of these things. Once my generation starts voting in earnest, you will lose. Once the old fossils in Congress and the Supreme Court die, you will lose. My generation has less patience for such anachronistic rulings like DOMA. Simply put, the numbers are on my side. The zeitgeist is on my side. The march of progress is on my side.

I highly doubt the numbers are on your side. I would agree to this on most college campuses, but your "generation" doesn't make up the majority of the population. We still have my "generation" which is probably 6-7 years older than you and on the more conservative side. But yea, whatever helps you sleep at night. And FYI, I no longer am against civil unions but I still have problems with this crap in the armed forces.

that's actually pretty true.

When I say long view, I'm thinking of 2025-2030.

More than half of all millennials (53%) born in 1980-present (which includes "your" generation) support gay marriage. Just under half of the Generation X (48%) support gay marriage. It is the Baby Boomers (38%) and the World War II generation (29%) that hold things back. When everyone is taken together, near half of the entire population in whole supports gay marriage (45%). However, for each generation, the numbers have increased. These have been steady trends since 1996.

Pew Data

Looking at the numbers now and thinking of what they might be in 2025, I see a very good chance at gay marriage being legalized across the board.

And no, civil unions are not enough, but you and I had that argument already and the best you came up with was: outdated data on children with gay parents, some ambiguous nonsense on how married couples feelings would be hurt, and a secular economic argument that attempted the prove the government had no good economic reason to allow gays to marry.

seed, i used to be anti-gay marriage, but stopped feeling that way when i figured out it doesn't affect me at all, and the only reason to be against it would be to legislating on a religious standard, which isn't what our constitution is all about.

It may happen one day, anything's possible.

Ventress with a pretty bitching force attack at 5.25

Force Choking Anakin and Obi-0Wan at once is indeed pretty impressive. I find it odd that she can overpower both of them at the same time but is stopped by just Kenobi on other occasions. She must have really studied off screen or something. Or maybe she was just having an off day that first time.

Z, it'll be a little while longer before I can respond, but hopefully I'll be able to by the end of the day.

This trilogy of episodes features what Force users are capable of when they're truly pissed. Suffice it to say that this is probably outside of Ventress's normal capabilities.

When is Ventress not pissed? 😬

She lives in a world of permanent PMS.

As opposed to, "everyone has the right to be happy!!" ?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Oh snap, I guess that statement was black and white. Then again, slaves existed during the time this was written so your logic can't possibly be valid.

Master Aange got pwned...

oh, and so much for anakin not being good with the force...

Anakin using Chosen One powers... In all honesty I doubt he can use this kind of power anywhere else.

Yeah, that was not replicatible.

That was him actually succeeding in tapping into his vast potential. He can't do that any old time. Mostly, he's a mediocre force-wielder.
