Disagree. The first two sequels kept making a defeated bad empire stronger and stronger without any explanation. The rebels then suddenly became just 400 to 20 people. A different type of journey would have been welcomed with open arms if clever enough.
And I think embracing the jedi, but killing the wars aspect, rather than trying to destroy the jedi but keeping the wars it would have been a much better answer to the franchise.

The live action transformers movies.
Although I almost never think about it.
And I only saw the first thirty minutes of the first movie.

If there's no term for it, I'm gonna call it Blairspeak, named after Eric Blair.

Well can Eastern Ukraine?

Because as a "sovereign" nation, Ukraine is an amalgation nation of two bordering existing countries of which the partner organisation NATO's sole existence in question is to be enemies with one of the two bordering countries and thus used deadly violence to suppress any dissent from its Eastern half.

This is in stark contrast to the US full-scale invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and further invasions of Libya, Syria and Palestine which WERE sovereign nations, where no such dilemma took place.
Bush' full scale invasion of Iraq was based on lies.
Bush' full scale Afghanistan invasion was based on searching a fugitive.
The full scale bombardment of Lybia was because the US did not like Lybia's leader.
Same with Syria.
For Palestine, it's Israel that wants to genocide the country.

I have no idea why you are getting so many downvotes. You're giving such an accurate description of what's happening in Europe, that I thought you were European. The behavior of our politicians anger me half as much as they disgust and embarrass me. They keep going on as if they are the arbiters of the world and moral guardians, while being neither and are not even addressing the pressing issues of their lost power except for playing Calvin ball where the 3 basic rules are "1. I dictate the rules", "2. All my rules are shall always be considered as free and democratic" and "3. Anyone who disagrees with me is a dictator or in league with one." while the adults in the room have to play along.

My highest IQ I scored was 135, the lowest 115.
Do I get to part of it?
The IQ tests themselves are not great tools of measuring intelligence but it's the best we've got. And I'm glad people here realize that.

Well...I currently feel like I'm the dumbest one among friends. I've got ADD, so I lose concentration a lot and my friends don't seem to have that, while they have high IQ as well.

It's also good to see that you know that IQ is speed of measuring thoughts, because I don't think the current physicists have got it correct at all and fail even on a basic level of natural philosophy/science, but they certainly can whip up complex equations faster than either of us can.

I never finished college, likely due to ADD.
Check for mental issues if you suspect anything remotely of that sort.
I only discovered the severity of it in my early forties.

I don't think Trump is waiting.

Quartering winds toppled the F/A Super Hornet to which it was not designed for, and disappearrd into the ocean.

I disagree. Even the discussion on gender imbalance gets warped because of this as sex ratio is never taken into account in the discussion. Even if it is, it'll be forgotten or discarded.

It isn't. More males die during pregnancy and infancy, which used to result into more girls than boys by age 5 two-hundred years ago, but nowadays there are only more women at old age.

The goal is to show that nonsense espoused as common sense usually comes in pairs.

That way, the liar can hoodwink you into any direction he/she wants you to.
