i thought a repubic wing was only three squadrons (six is imperial)

i drink nothing but soda. period. i keep a stash of pepsi and mt dew in my room at all times.

i just saw The Grudge with sarah michelle gellar. terrible. boring to the extreme. horror movies as a whole just suck

the emperor cant betray his side. unless you change it with rebed of course

and you notice death star 2 is tiny compared to endor? wouldn't that make endor like 100 times the size of earth? any human(or ewok)on a planet that size would be killed instantly by the gravity

my shortest was only 168 days. for some reason the rebs moved the HQ, i hit a core system, killed it. o yeah it was a HQ game. longest was over 22000 days. no not a typo thats three zeros. i just decided to stretch it as long as i could and annhilate the rebs as thoroughly and methodically as possible. it was fun, too

I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but I believe (in general) Texas executes more convicts than all of the rest of the US combined. And we don't have the largest of state populations! So, bottom line, don't commit a capital crime in Texas , odds are you're goin' get fried actually it's only about 40%. But it is more than three times as much as anyone else. in the words of the great texan ron white "I'm from Texas. In Texas, we have the death penalty, and we USE IT!! that's right. if you come to texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. that's our policy. they're trying to pass a bill right now through the texas legislature that'll speed up the process of execution in heinous crimes where there's more than three credible eyewitnesses. If more than three people saw you do what you did, you don't sit on death row for 15 years, jack, you go straight to the front of the line. other state's are trying to abolish the death penalty-my state's puttin' in an express lane!"-blue collar comedy tour, the movie dont know if that actually went through, but ron white is a funny man

watch 2 fast 2 furious. the drug lord uses it to coerce the cop into helping him

i got a large pizza in once. well, me and a couple friends. we all took a couple pieces and got them in. also before i was 17 i used to smuggle myslef into rated R movies all the team. If you want craziest stuff in a movie theatre, one time my girlfriend of the time gave me a lap dance, then we went to third base in the theatre.

i dont think we need to make it graphic, just effective. get rid of the electric chair/lethal injection. put firing squads back in. you want graphic just watch braveheart with the commentary on, which describes the actual method of execution for william wallace. he was castrated, then tied to a cart and dragged over 3 miles of cobblestone streets. then he was tortured publicly for the crowd's amusement. the portion of the real thing gibson showed was hanging, racking, disembowlment, and beheading. multiply all that by about 3. ouch here's another ouch. much quicker, but more painful. Kind Edward the Confessor was publicly executed by having a red-hot sword shoved up his butt and out his mouth. big ouch.

here's a real easy way to destroy the earth. piss off tarkin (pre-yavin, of course).

I love rock, rock and more rock. greenday, nickelback, relient k, three doors down, creed, amber pacific, anberlin, good charlotte, simple plan, sum 41, yellowcard, etc. right now im listening to bon jovi. i also like some oldies like beach boys and simon and garfunkel

wiki is awesome as a jumping-off point. it usually has links to sites that can go in your works cited page. and the info gives you plenty of stuff to check out. it's not so much a resource as a reource to get resources

I do, and not necessarily as the type of 'liberal,' as your language might be suggesting to define or categorize. As a society we have a moral and legal responsibility to protect our fellow citizens, from criminals in our midst, and miscarriages of justice as well. Convictions for a crimes someone is not guilty of are surprisingly frequent in the democratic western world, and their later exposure by the legal process is something we can term the essence of being 'civilized' and 'democratic,' and having the 'civilized' and enlightened opportunity to do so. In most of the world, the legal process is observed with all the attention and detail of a schoolchild's rant in the playground, applied to law, and subsequently applied with the state's force. In China, it's got to the extent where execution has virtually become an industry; the 'people's state,' selling off the organs and body parts of the executed to western wallets as exposed by that renowned 'bleeding-heart liberal' organ the BBC last week. Whilst I at times wish the furnace on the scum of society when they are caught, it is some aspect of our status as being truly civilized as a society that allows a convicted citizen perhaps time to prove they were never guilty of the crime they were guilty of, without being a coffin in the ground. Mr. Ace, you've just been owned! What're you gonna do, now? go off to my stateroom and cry? then look at the poster of grand admiral thrawn on my wall and ask "what would you say?". lol jk. I freely admit that occasionally miscarriages of justice do occur. as supreme court justice oliver wendell holmes once said "this is a court of law, young man, not of justice." sad, but true. here's a little history for you. the death penalty was basically abolished in 1972. it was hastily reinstated 4 years later. why? the number of violent felonies in our country spiked. another problem is the condition of our prisons. they're not for punishment. they've just become another realm of the criminal world, almost a criminal college, if you will. for criminals, "doing a stretch" is a badge of honor. personally, i do believe in restorative justice. this basically means use of things like community service rather than jail, so the criminal learns respect for the community, rather than how to exploit it. prisons should be to hold people who pose a significant danger to the community. the death penalty is simply the extreme end of that. it is a necessary deterrent in our criminal justice system. history demonstrates that conclusively. The best way to describe capital punishment is an unfortunate necessity. Thanks Admiral. you always know waht to say

except the stillframes from the movie is the only canonical reference. what rebellion says is not canonical. the only way to determine it for real is to use math and the movies themselves

I agree the books started great, and some like the thrawn trilogy, x-wing series, were good. Courthsip of Princess Leia, Darksaber, etc stretched it a bit, but were still good. i read one of these NJO/Vong books. utter garbage. the author basically just spliced SW guys into his own story. Books have to be at least somewhat adhering to tradition.

I was bored, so i decided to take a crack at solving the mystery. just how long is vader's SSD? answer: 14.9236 km. .3 km margin of error. i dont think i made one, but if i did, it's no greater than that. this answer is dependent on the following assumption being true: -the length of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer is 1.6 km -light behaves the same way in the SW universe as ours NOTE: To keep my answer pure, I used only still shots from the movies themselves. purely canonical. I used paper taped to the sides of the TV and used a ruler to complete any part of the ship that was offscreen (simply lining up the existing edges of the ships and sketching until completion. the use of a straight edge and intercept point is completely accurate, but for the fact it is humanly done, i provide a margin of error.) I then measured the lines, and calculated the difference in camera margin through various light reflection (this is why my 2nd assumption is important). From there, it just became simple math. did it with a calculator. so there it is. im tossing my hat in the ring of this debate. calculated using pure science, from purely canonical sources. 14.9236 km (i admit this is rounded off the actual decimal appeared infinite). This doesn't mean SSDs are this length. It's certainly conceivable Vader demanded the Executor be the biggest ship in the Fleet simply because it was the flagship. Since there are no canonical references to other SSDs other than Han's comment "Easy, Chewie. THere are a lot of command ships", we can't know for sure. But I'm confident in this-the Executor is 14.9236 km long, +/- .3 km

As someone going to college for a Criminal Justice degree, i can tell you it's a good thing. of course, I'm also an old-line conservative, so i dont buy into all the bleeding-heart liberal nonsense. does the serial killer feel pain? big deal. so did his victims-and they felt a lot more. i keep hearing arguments that it costs too much. in a sense, thats true. we spend hundreds of millions to execute people. here's a simple solution. prisons have cops. cops have guns. guns have bullets. bullets cost 50 cents each. stand em against a wall and shoot em. plus thats what the empire does!

First, does anyone have a better way of getting through the blasted Gencores other than amassing ridiculously expensive and large fleets? I've tried sabotage, and my missions always get foiled, no matter how many personnel or type i assign to it. 2nd, how do you bring an unexplored system to your side? can't assault it, and can't do a diplomacy mission. there has to be some way, because when i go to an unexplored system then leave it, then come back later, often times it's rebel. anyone have any suggestions on these?
