Rule of One vs. Rule of Two

So that's a yes. What are you now? A sophomore in college? What's the major?

PoliSci, but that's about to change. Honestly, my interest in Star Wars has taken a considerable dip, though I doubt it'll ever go away. I've ran into a bit of free time here this past semester, so when I heard that Nai had apparently broken my Sidious platform, I figured I might as well see what he had to offer.

Poli Sci is a cool major if you plan on going to law school. Otherwise, start using amazon instead of having your school pick out your reading material.

The problem is that most law schools, if not all of them, will take any undergraduate degree. I was an idiot and decided to go into PoliSci; granted, there are things about the subject that I really enjoy and have a naturally affinity for, but others blow more than Beefy's mom during rush hour.

😐

its true. I could take my theatre degree and probably go to law school, if the whole acting thing doesn't pay the bills (like it EVER pays the bills...) Usually the same for Med school. just have to have a degree.

Word, word.

I don't know about Rush Hour and even then that's not much of an accomplishment because the car is often stopped but I digress. I pity your generation in terms of overall household debt and grad school debt. Ten years ago a law degree meant something, now even the top 10% have difficulty finding jobs, unless you're Ivy League. Your generation is just going to waste $150,000 without any realistic ROI.

I'm going to finish with something like 15k in student loans...

trying not to think about it. last month of classes.

15k in undergrad loans? Lol don't think about it. You'll be well on your way to $200k right around the time you finish med school.

oh, i'm not going to go to med school, don't get me wrong. My long-term back up plan if the theatre scene doesn't pan out is to join the army. but i have a few options in theatre. Its not just acting, I work as a scenic carpenter as well, which is much more stable in income.

Why would you want to join the army while we're in the middle of a war? That seems like a waste of spent college money.

Well, when you join the US army, you're bound to go through at least one war.

Lets put it this way. Have you ever seen an unemployed soldier stateside?

Beating Mike Tyson in a fight by youself is more impressive than doing so with 100 others guys helping you. Krayt took power pretty much with his own hands while Palpatine had eons of help to call upon.

Well we don't know how much Palpatine relied on the network and manipulations created by the other sith. Hell, all of the big manipulations were done by Palpatine himeslf.

As for Krayt, he also built upon the work of the sith before him. But, unlike Palpatine, these were the cornerstones of his plan. Really Krayt and his order "piggybacked" on the succes of Palpatine and the RoT as Dr MB so eloquently put it.

I would join tomorrow if N. Korea attacked S. Korea, or China invaded Taiwaan. Some things are just worth fighting for.

I would join if NK attacked SK as well. But not because that war would be worth fighting for. Rather, we would win so incredibly easily that my life wouldn't be in any real danger the majority of the time.

If NK attacked SK, millions of people would die. The city of Seoul would pretty much be wiped out in the first few minutes. We have 60k troops there.

Millions would die but they would mostly be Koreans so whatevs. lol.

except our 60k troops in Seoul.

60K is not a majority of a million.

That aside, I think the 60K US troops in Korea could carry against N. Korea for quite a long time.
