Jedi Knight Now (Not) Officially a Religion

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the none-of-the-state's-business-whether-dark-or-good dept.

osiris writes: "The Register is reporting that being a Jedi Knight is now an official religion in the UK after the 2001 census conducted earlier this year. The final number of 'Jedi Knights' has not been confirmed yet as only about 95% of the census forms have been returned. As you could probably imagine, the Home Office is none too pleased. Apparently though, you can't get fined for lying about your religion in the census." Actually, according to the story, this gives the Jedi way no more official status than Plumbing would have if everyone put that down.

    That is true. As much as I liked TNG, TOS still kicked ass. Though Enterprise is looking very promising, as long as they get rid of that lame opening song.

    actually every missile you send will make "the enemy" much stronger: every missile you send will inspire more hate. will turn people who where moderate before into fundamentalists and fanatics. for every person you kill you will have 10 times more idiots which stand up in his place.. then you have 10 times as much atrocities and then again 10 time that much of hate on the other sides..and so on.. and within a short time we have world war III.
