While that is scary. I have to ask, how many Americans here were taught about the Trail of Tears in school. Because I wasn't I had to go to the reservation museum to find out about it. Well, I was taught the Trail of Tears in Alabama History class in high school and ISTR about the Japanese internme...

More likely it's Japan's hard headed refusal to acknowledge that the US has a military. The usual fucked up cultural denial stemming from WW2. They hide any US military not being ripped apart by the Giant Japanese Phallic Symbol-bot behind the UN and all that even when it's clearly intended to be U...

The first time he made Vash use it was in teh City of July wasn't it? If that was only 13% of the total output, then he should have wiped out all life on the planet the moment it fired. At best, the energy output was maybe equivalent to a low-megaton range nuke (possibly even kiloton) He blew a hol...

His punch is now going at Mach 25, and assuming his fist has to travel a length of 2 1/2 feet, manages to land a punch in 2.7E-8 seconds which is far too fast for Obi Wan to reposition his lightsaber to block a blow to the head. The match ends with Obi Wan's brains splattered all over the arena. Co...

Why precog doesn't guarantee victory
Okay, I'm going to take my time and explain how a Jedi using even 100% reliable Force precog cannot always win. Let's have a match between Obi-Wan and the Flash. Let's say we give Obi Wan one hour of prep time to meditate on the Force. Using this meditation, he's predicted that the Flash will try to...

And what makes you think they didn't notice that the Jedi were getting weaker? 1). The utter shock Yoda had when they discovered the clone army Yoda just realized that they weren't able to forsee things in the distant future. 2).The fact that they were able to keep something like that a secret. I m...

Also in Shadow's of the Empire Luke fights Yuri (spell) Xizor's assasin droid, since she wanted to test herself against a Jedi (she moves too fast for the human eye), during the battle Luke sees her moving 'like she is fighting in mud', giving him ample time to move out of the way.

Since you love using all of these examples out of the EU, then you wouldn't mind using the rest of the EU canon and concede that a Jedi can't Force-choke. And we'll insist on using Firelord-stomping, Spider-Man, which means Spider-Man's punches are more powerful than the forces generated by blackho...

First of all, I never claimed Jedi were capable of juggling planets. Okay fine, I won't use the hyperbole. Prove the Jedi went from AT-AT-juggling to pansies in the course of ten years and not notice it. Second, the Jedi's diminishing control over the force was gradual, and the council probably did...

If you're going blind, and you say your senses are diminishing, which implies all your senses, then you're a moron and need to retake elementary school English. No, he doesn't. If you're going blind, your senses *ARE* diminishing. 4 out of 5 < 5 out of 5. Jesus Christ, I think I just suffered brain...

And we'll insist on using Firelord-stomping, Spider-Man, which means Spider-Man's punches are more powerful than the forces generated by blackholes, which doesn't even phase Firelord. Exactly. I used only average feats for Spidey, and they bitched that I was unfairly using his upper level feats. If...

Their use of the Force includes forseeing the future. If I'm going blind and I said my senses have been diminished, does that mean my other four senses are gone. :roll: If you're going blind, and you say your senses are diminishing, which implies all your senses, then you're a moron and need to ret...

And if I based my 'no Force-choke' rule argument off that one piece of dialogue, your post would have meant something. I'm basing it off the official EU canon, the same EU canon you used to argue that Palpatine can swat super stardestroyers like flies and Jedi padawans can toss fleets of ISD's out ...

I don't need to you dumb ass. If we can't use Force Chokes because; 'Yoda said', then we get to use 'Size matters not' i.e. mass matters not ergo Force matters not, hence strength matters not, because Yoda said so. Concession Accepted. How does it feel when your own rules work against you? I believ...

As for this the Dark Side diminished all of our Jedi power crap, had the dialogue between Mace Windu and Yoda went like this, you would have a valid point: Yoda: Remembered good old days, I do.

What's the point of having precog when your opponent is 40 times faster than you. At this point, all precog will tell you is when and where you're going to take a nasty punch or kick. A high-powered blaster bolt moves at hypersonic velocity, yet a Jedi can react to that thanks to precog. When have ...
