You keep saying "I understand" and then displaying that you don't understand.

I mean, I can explain why Grand Moff Tarken blew up Alderaan. I understand why he chose to do that. There is no slippery slope from there to "it's ok to blow up planets."

It is crucial that you understand the motivations of your enemy, and understand why he makes the decisions he does. You aren't going to defeat him by guesswork.

Rule 34 applies.

No, not that one. Rule of acquisition #34.

Distilling is dangerous is it goes wrong.

Making meth is dangerous even if everything goes right.

It's important to note that this specific Nazi is a US Senator, though. Helps illustrate how deep the rot goes.

I trust they replied "lol, no."

I was an enlisted aircraft maintainer for a term of service, and I don't recall ever being in need of aa box cutter.

My opinion stands, however. They want knives, let them have knives.
