Re: Disney's buying Lucasfilm

a Disney SW movie? you get that Han would never had shot first if disney had owned Lucas then, right? It will be toy story with live action. Oh...

Re: I know you're all tired of this, but ...

So that Rationalia's Skepticon contingent can make sure to stop by and represent the more relaxed and understanding side of us. Fuck the atheist thought police! I know it's a fucking joke. All the time we have been complaining about the theists linking atheism with the mass murderers of communism. ...

Re: Is American law insane?

The problem is some folks are reading what they expect to see and not what I post. The problem isn't on this end. Then give ONE single example please. I listed several specific things you wrote, how I read them, and why I read them that way. Just pick one and tell me why it's wrong. That's all I as...
