    The formula is "Flood the nation with assault rifles priced to move and tell people over and over and over that they're being patriotic just by making a purchase." I can't think of a better method to make sure that the most dangerous guns will find their way into the hands of the people most likely to use them.

    I'll be honest I do not really debate as I used to as the religious crowd dropped dramatically and in politics it was sort of like debating whether or not Boba Fett survived beyond ROTJ, I could only go over the same crap every day so many times. It is an odd contradiction that I think there are more diverse view points right now, but I might not see a debating point as I tend to agree with them since as people have pointed out the Right Wing does not have as many numbers here any more.

    I understand the need for someone to argue with. At the same time I prefer conversation of like minds to broken record nonsense. I mean really, the economy under Obama became incredible yet someone can sit there and tell people it was in shambles? There is no debate for that, it's just nonsense.

    The thread seems fine as-is to me. Light discussion punctuated with moments of absurdity. This isn't some sort of symposium.

    An echo chamber is not a good thing, which is what this thread has precisely turned in to.

    I don't think you can make any case for why it was a good idea to vote trump so getting into a discussion with a Trumper is a Pointless task. Liberals and Democrats better get it together and start thinking on the same page or we will never get rid of Trump. I find It hard to believe that with the Peaceful Buddhist message in Star Wars that any Star Wars fan would like Trump with all the hate he spews.

    Yoda's Message It was basically a Buddhist quote all through the films he was In but that is understandable George Lucas is a Buddhist!

    Point Given

    yes there is wars and fighting but that is not the central note of the Films It Is about heroes doing the right thing and even if it wasn't the popular thing it was the right thing. And good Triumphing over evil. But there were under currents of Buddhism in the Force especially the Things Yoda Preached...

    I don't remember Yada's peaceful message, but I remember just how peaceful Yoda was.

    Yoda really reflects on George Lucas' peaceful nature.

    your using one scene to prove that Star Wars is about brutal massacre?


    I could keep going but I wont all one has to do is type in a search engine Yoda Quotes that sound like Buddhist quotes;) Yoda was basically a Buddhist monk who occasionally fought with a light saber when he had to but only when he had to.

    No giant pictures please

    It's an "echo chamber" if you only consider that almost no one here likes the current president and congress. But other views can be significantly divergent.

    I'm getting confused what is and what isn't written by Point Given.

    may be its better if we don't know who wrote what, in time it will all be so much clearer to us all in the form of a psychedelic dream with Jim Morrison and the Muppets but not the Moopets:p

    I'm just here to bash Trump because I hate him with a white hot passion. Can we please get back to bashing him? This has gone on long enough.
