So I guess the Federal Government grabbing millions of acres of formerly state and private land because some bird watcher saw a special owl is ok? They are protesting the grazing fees on public land, the ending of grazing on public lands (which puts them out of business).

Why do that? All they’re doing is loitering. The appropriate response is to make a wanking motion with your hand and get back to what you were doing.

Listen, the very notion that they’re genuinely “doing” anything is flattering to them. If they were serious about some sort of insurrection against government, they could—would—have picked virtually any other building in North America to start it. They don’t want a fight. They want to get interviewed on Fox News.

She should never race again. She shouldn’t have raced in the first place. I truly don’t think she cares much, apart from her reputation and eventual charges.

MN person here. MN bleeding heart liberal who has no true love for the Minneapolis Police Department whatsoever.

I have two very close friends that work for MOA management, one specifically in security. One of the reasons they’ve been hoping to keep BLM protesters away is that MOA is a HUGE potential target for terrorists, and they’re constantly coordinating with Homeland Security to assess threats, etc. Its enough for them to…

But what’s the problem? Her saber fighting? I don’t have a problem with that. She can fight with her stick, and she tapped into some force powers and Kylo isn’t fully trained himself (and was badly injured).

Luke is a poor example. It is implied he trains on his own between movies as that is when his skills take a jump, and he still isn’t all the way there.

Luke wasn’t a Gary Stu at all. He kept on getting in trouble and having people save his butt. He nearly died on Hoth. Han saved him. He lost his hand. He would have died in Cloud City if Leia had not rescued him. He was captured by Ewoks. EWOKS! (Okay, there he managed to trick the Ewoks into letting him go. But…

Have to disagree with you re: Rey less of a mary sue than Luke a gary stu.

Not going to lie: Rey’s awesomeness at everything bothered me. Not only can she fly the Millienum Falcon incredibly well, she can defeat a (wannbe) Sith Lord in a lightsaber duel, never mind this same Sith Lord has been training since he was a young kid and is so powerful he can freeze laser blasts in mid-air. I just…

The shitty liberal, paid-off gawker staff is greying out all negative comments.

So, gawker reader, disdain and annoyance for people you don’t like is a problem for you?

That’s just called good management.

There will always be something a single person or small group does not know or does not know well, yet humans insist on being ruled by individuals and small groups with total power. Then they wonder why things are a mess and go looking again for some single person or small group that can lead them to make it all…

Ahem.

Dee Mirich nods.

Affirmed.

Look, people, it could be worse. It could be a lot fucking worse. And now I need to mainline some bleach. Working the eyes over won’t remove the memory.

I'm going to play a little devils advocate here.
