    LOL. I don't visit this thread and post nearly every day like a lot of you. so, sometimes I go on little writing binges to "catch up".

    Derrick Bell, Frank B Wilderson III, and Charles W. Mills might disagree with you on that. sure, the outright bigotry is frowned upon. but implicit bigotry has never gone away. it also exists at a...

    Turkey benefits from this - because they have their own laundry list of human rights abuses and accusations as well. as hyped78 says, people are entitled to dislike and distrust Israel. but we...

    it seems like when a character is portrayed as "smart" some posters subconsciously revert to a NO LIMITS FALLACY on their intellect. (Grand Admiral Thrawn and Hannibal Lecter, in particular, seen to...

    I've always had low-tier service or industrial jobs. I worked 12-hour days in vegetable canneries during the summers right out of high-school and during college. in some ways it was a nice...

    my only problem with the pet rock fad was that you were paying money for it. when I was a kid I figured the best sort of pet rock would be the kind that you found on a hiking trip and took home.

    "vote blue no matter who" is a platitude, not a fad. fads are, by definition, ephemeral in nature.

    ooh, that reminds me of Celestial Harmonie's Music of Bali box set. "Kecak Dance - Tojan" has a musical number based on one of those stories. (it's been like 20 years... but it involves a guy using...

    this might not be the total trainwreck that I expect it to be. but, unless the trailer looks absolutely amazing, I'll probably skip this one.

    as written... the OP looked like they were building the No True Scotsman fallacy into an already leading question.

    I would have been more charitable if the OP had written "I moved back in with my...

    I would argue that NO civic system has ever existed in a "pure form"... not even autocracy.

    before we go too much further, I think the OP needs to clarify the specific resources available to Thrawn.

    if Thrawn doesn't have his usual flagship and staff he's never going to be able to use...

    do the Reavers have ANY feats apart from being cannon fodder space zombies?

    what we're shown doesn't really seem to compare with the narrative hyperbole that surrounds them.
