Even though I think IQ is complete BS, I'm inclined to say that mine lowered a notch after reading this thread.
Oh, and .103 (or whatever) that George Lucas is allowing a new series of Star Wars films to come out.

"Even though I think IQ is complete BS, I'm inclined to say that mine lowered a notch after reading this thread."
Exactly the sort of thing an evil capitalist would say. I bet that you don't even support peace and freedom.
Yeah, because it's called the Peace and Freedom Party, that must mean it's all about nothing but peace and freedom, right?
Just like the Austrian School must be a culinary place where you learn how to make Wiener Schnitzel!
Exactly. Like how socialists care about society and capitalists are only concerned with capital.
Okay, I'll become a socialist, under one condition - I must have the beard. You hear me? MUST.
Can't leave out good 'ol Zizzy.
Related to Castro???
Alright, I think I found a place that you can buy a beard
Great! Another convert to the socialist future!
@ Clayton
I am so glad that I am not the only one who thinks that young Castro looks like Liam.
@SkepticalMetal: I have a whole conspiracy theory about how certain powerful Elites "plant" their (illegitimate?) children into "normal" homes to be raised away from the spotlight where they can be safer and more useful. I believe it has its roots in this.
Uh huh.
Yes well why is it that Marxists have their own film theory? How is that even fair?
Kate Middleton, for example. I doubt very much that she's actually a commoner. Either one of her parents or she herself could be "crypto-nobility".
What about Tom Cruise Ryan?
104. It causes awful greedy people's selfish focus on profits to benefit others more than selfless people who only think about others!
@Blargg: It's the thought that counts. Actually improving things means nothing if you didn't mean to improve things.
