Israel is run by ethnic Jews, true or false?

Hell yes, I'm sore about it! That's my goddamn tax-money supporting this bullshit!

Well, now, that ain't quite true. Plenty of Irish whiskies come right out the still laden with 95%+ Ethnic Purity and years of Most Racist Country in Europe awards.

So they expect the rest of the world to support them in owning a section of land that's belonged to someone else for 1300 years, while they further encroach on the land that those people reside on? Fuck that and fuck them.

No, sorry, fuck that. The state of Israel is not owed a goddamned thing by the rest of the planet. It has no ordained right to exist, supported and paid for by other nations, the support without which it would likely have vanished forty years ago. Their land? Fuck that. The place has been called Palestine since…

Indeed it is, as this very thread indicates.

No, but they are systematically killing a large number of Palestinans. So fuck them.

Yep.

You know, I did too. Except the thing about the anal probes. That's… well, whatever floats your goat, man.

Fuck this land, I'm moving to Denmark!

Ah, no. Death Knights existed in the rulebooks… Fiend Folio, I think? Anyway, Lord Soth was a character created from that template. He was patterned to be the Darth Vader of the DL world.

Robert himself did not. The armies under Robert's command did. Robert also legitimized his rule by pointing out that he was the fourth cousin, three times removed, by way of marriage and second-year college roommate Fraternity Bond and Eskimo Friends related to the dynasty he'd just deposed.

A crusade that involved the rape and murder of women and children, including the previously-mentioned Mountain dashing infants against a wall.

That has been my experience with trying to go back and read them 30 years later. They're good when you're 12, not so much when you're 40.

Yeah, I totally got the sarcastic vibe in your OP, and I am totally agreeing with it. But then in another comment, there was some, I dunno, claim or something that wanting to call them "cute kids" and pat them on the head was paternalistic. And I was just saying that, well, shit, if that makes me paternalistic, then…

Well, the ships themselves contain oxygen and other flammable chemicals, and banking is a style of flight, so that, at least, might explode briefly. It's not required, of course, but it helps for the pilot to be able to look "up" (from their POV) during the bank and see where their ship is going, especially in very…

Well, as the others have pointed out, it's basically in a loop. The hilt has a beam-emitter and a receiver. The beam goes out to whatever distance the wielder has attuned it to (and some wielders can affect the reach of the blade through the Force… Asajj Ventris was known to do this), and then it turns around and…

Created as a warning system in the cockpit of the ships. The aural cue that another ship is approaching you in close proximity is more easily noticed by the pilot than some blinking light on the console.

Because the blaster is a plasma/particle weapon that, due to thermal expansion, actually causes a degree of recoil. It's not just a beam of light, it's an actual thermal-kinetic projectile.

No, I can dig where you're coming from. To me, they look like cute punk kids. And because they look like cute punk kids, that kinda engages The Juggernaut's protective sort of instincts. These kids can go on to do whatever punk-rawk things they wanna do… but as an old, crustypunk, the Juggernaut would look out for…
