I haven't called for ANY sentient beings to be ground up, thanks.
JarJar isn't a sentient being. He's not subject to evolution. He's a cgi
construct created to sell toys and toothbrushes and bedsheets.
He's fictional. Not Real. Make Believe. Exists only in a computer.
That's why I have no problem being cruel to JarJar. He's a marketing tool
that is an insult to the intelligence of us all.
If you knew me, you'd know that I'm actually one of the most peaceful,
gentle people in the world. I've never been in a fight, and the only reason
I'd engage in violence would be to protect someone I love.
I have friends of all races, creeds, religions, and sexual orientations. I
don't discriminate against anyone, for any reason.
But I have to draw the line at fictional goofball marketing constructs. If
ol' George is going to insult the intelligence of 10 year olds, then I'm
going to feel free to abuse his marketing construct as I see fit.
<snip rest of ranting>
In any case, this is pointless, because you'll never let it end. So I'm
going to let it end here.
Have a nice day, and try to relax a bit.
