And also with you. Amen.
Raised Catholic, too, eh?
Isn’t every day “Star Wars day” to someone? Least of all George Lucas?!
When will we ever learn the difference between real life and non-sense fantasy? Moreover, when will we realize that it’s what we do in out real lives that makes any difference?
Don’t get me wrong. I liked the movies. But come on! A day devoted to a film series – or a story? Whatever happened to Huckleberry Finn Day? Or for that matter, whatever happened to Charles Dickens, The Brothers Grimm, or even Mother Goose Day? Why “Star Wars”? Was it the MONEY?!
How old are you?!
I know right? And why is a day devoted to that dumb horror movie franchise like every other month?
If I seem to be griping then maybe I am. It just seems to me that we as a society tend to glorify the wrong things and place value in total bullshit.
It’s not like our armed forces aren’t doing anything important or making sacrifices. It’s not like the working class aren’t pulling their weight or like our schools aren’t trying to do a thankless job. I could go on. It just seems like we as a society tend to value and glorify things like entertainment above all others – things that really don’t matter. Why is that?
Has the entertainment industry so rotted our collective brains with shows like American Idol that we can’t see what’s important any more? Or have we lost our sense of morals that we can’t even see how insulting it is to devote a day of remembrance/reflection to a film?
If you were someone like Martin Luther King Jr., wouldn’t you see this as sort of a slap in the face (even though your day of honor is on a different day)?
Again, don’t get me wrong! I love the Star Wars series of films. It’s great entertainment. But at the end of the day that’s really all it is – entertainment!
Happy “Irritated Anonymous Day” to you.
See, that didn’t hurt, now did it?
The war on Star Wars day has to stop!
No , only begun the war on “Star Wars Day” has
It is a day to celebrate. Hand Solo taught the world about self gratification.
hahaha 🙂
The one-handed clap came from mutual gratification.
I don’t get the gum reference?
The answer to your question is Yes, you don’t.
Chewy (Chewbacca) get it? see, that’s what Hand Solo calls him. And they fly the….oh, who the hell gives a sh#t.
Ahhhh…. thanks…
Because of this you fail Hmmmmmm.
In honor of Star Wars Day, I’m going to get laid.
Haha, just kidding!

I’m not sure about all that, but surely you can cheer the health care plan offered by the Empire?
Raise the VAT tax to 21% from 19 & who can stop it?
The lowlanders gots their VAT tax but we’re no better off here in USSA. We pay our bonehead-war tax so we can police the world. How you gonna shut down the war machine? Can it be slowed down by just a little bit? Maybe Mitt can do it. LOL.
How the heck did this post end up here? Was supposed to be in the No Agenda thread. More evidence of my ongoing dementia. Enjoy.
