    that's fine and all, but do you agree that this person should have his nuts crushed by a blunt object? ;) by the way, i know it's late..... OT

    Re: Re: can we rethink the VIIIth amendment to the constitution? nope. not a no brainer. are we no better than the 9/11 terrorists because we've used violence to break up their network? of all the counterarguments, that's the one i can't abide.

    can we rethink the VIIIth amendment to the constitution?

    sounds like a magic weapon to me......+1 normal, +5 smiting hammer vs child killers. and umbran, yeah i feel passionate about it. bad form...i don't know. doesn't seem like anyone is too hurt. certainly no flames. if anything, i'd expect alot of people to feel as i do. the day people stop...

    can we rethink the VIIIth amendment to the constitution?

    okay, it was meant to be a little ironic! KnowtheToe: Again, revenge is underrated. If it were my child, I wouldn’t be one of those “revenge won’t bring my child back” people. Of course not, nothing will. It still doesn’t mean you have to watch him get free cable while he sits out a life term...

    now remember, folks, let's not turn this into a debate about the death penalty. i only want these people who are sentenced to death to get there by being tortured to death.

    can we rethink the VIIIth amendment to the constitution?

    well, what if we reserved it for special cases like this? jury comes back with a guilty verdict and a special order to give this creep "the business". bring out the hammer and start wailing away on his testicles......i see no problem with that in this case or any other where a child is killed...

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,57553,00.html why, oh why can't we inflict cruel and unusual punishment on people like this?

    Sex and the Single Jedi

    i agree. note the "matter of fact" way that qui-gon questioned shmi skywalker. he certainly made it sound like jedis fathering children was not something new. Let’s face it. Biology probably played a part in keeping the order alive for thousands of years. If you agree with that statement you...

    Sex and the Single Jedi

    Quite correct, he would walk a fine line. The way the character is set up, he is not a meteoric star in the order. He’s like a solid “B” student, the backbone of any school class. I would play the “visits” as discreet, but would not deny them if confronted. Mind you, it wouldn’t be a daily...

    Sex and the Single Jedi

    JH - thanks for the clarification, then. i know you play SWd20 alot, what is your take on my original thought? is it okay for a jedi to occasionally take company with whores? Aaron - that is probably why there is no celibacy requirement. the jedis are perhaps expected to "spread their seed"...

    Sex and the Single Jedi

    you know, i remember that line, too. my first impression after hearing it was that tatooine was a de facto member of the republic, but it was too far out to be adequately policed. if you look at "Star Wars", the empire has little trouble dropping a bunch of troops on the planet. indeed, they...

    Sex and the Single Jedi

    excellent bwgwl! i guess i always assumed it was legal in the republic, as i'm not sure how you stop it in the thousands of star systems. it's hard enough to stop in small cities! great point on tatooine. i hadn't considered that. it does prove, though, that the jedi are principled but...

    T-Bill - when does that start and where will it be?

    Sex and the Single Jedi

    Excellent points! I view it like this, though. It’s clear – at least in the movies – that the jedis do not seek to release the oppressed or impose their views on society. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they attack and destroy all of the slavers of the galaxy? No, they are keepers of the peace. The...

    Sex and the Single Jedi

    We are about to start a new SW campaign, and I was thinking of having one of my character traits be that he is somewhat of a whoremonger. Oh, did I tell you he’s also a jedi? As I understand the code, sex is not forbidden in the order, only attachment. I view it like this – it’s okay if he goes...

    Re: SPELLJAMMER if it's possible to be wrong in an opinion, you are! ;) no offense intended, but spelljammer was just wayyyyy to queer for me. sometimes being offbeat can be good - see the "spelljammer-lite" PLANESCAPE. but in SJ's case, it was just stupid. and not just with the space...
