CoS Bigwig Likens Wikipedia Ban to Nazis' Yellow Star Decree

We mentioned on Thursday that Wikipedia has banned edits originating from certain IP addresses belonging to the Church of Scientology; reader newtley writes now that Scientology leader (CEO and Chairman of the Board of the linked, but legally separate, Religious Technology Center) David Miscavige calls the ban "a 'despicable hate crime,' and asks, 'What's next, will Scientologists have to wear yellow, six-pointed stars on our clothing?' During World War II, Hitler forced Jewish men, women and children to wear a a yellow cloth star bearing the word Jude to brand them in the streets of Europe, and in the Nazi death camps."

OMG I can actually see that in my head! Chewbacca being Jewish! Someone has got to draw that up. It would be, how they say, WTFPWNAGE!

Come on! Yoda as a Buddist, Chewbacca being Jewish, and I can sooooooo see a closet Hindu in Han Solo! Hmmm... what would Vader be? Or Luke? AMISH VADER! Come on he's not into big tech, wears dark conservative clothing, doesn't talk much.

Hmmm Boba Fett.... I'm seeing Pentacostal? Or Anglican..

ah, we're not likely to run into each other in game then.

FA is ally to CVA et. al. and operates out of Providence, Tash-Murkon and Domain regions

I'm still relatively new to the game (started in november, took a two month break, just came back two weeks ago).. I need to find some good money making.

I got really lucky first week of january (I was jobless at the time - between my graduating from school and getting a job) and in my first week in 0.0 space made 500 million dollars shooting down Interstellar Exodus raiders in Providence.. but other than that I've been kinda screwed on money.... though that did get me a lot of nice ships - a Hulk with Cargo rigs for my alt account, three rigged Harbis (0.0 ratter, level 3 missioner, W-space explorer) an Omen Navi (missions), etc.

Here we have a contestant for the most innocuous-sounding word used in 2009 to describe mass slaughter. I'll be in the corner, puking.

If you've taken the time to learn a language that doesn't, necessarily, "believe in" sentences as a grammatical structure, then I suspect you would find your opinions dramatically altered; at least, you would find it more reasonable to hold multiple concepts and ideas in your mind at the same time, much like is required to understand grammar such as, to provide an example, the Chinese "ba pattern", where the verb of a sentence could be a hundred words away from the subject, although the longest sentences are generally limited to scholarly works, which tend to be both excessively lengthy, but also quite eloquent in their use of idiom. Newspapers and novels have short sentences for the ADD public.
