Apparently it also allows you to be a dumbass. I'm guessing he was at the jobcentre to, maybe perhaps, get a job. Don't wear a hoodie!

I surely hope that one of the tenets of Jediism is to not procreate.

If I've insulted anyone here. GOOD.

Chris is a member of the International Church of Jediism...whose doctrine states that followers should be allowed to wear hoods.



Ah, the traditional Jedi zip-up hoodie.

What an idiot. If you're not force sensitive, you're not a Jedi! And if he were force sensitive, he wouldn't have been thrown out.


/You don't want me to lower my hood (lazily waves hand)

Oh look, they got a thinly-disguised 'Muslims get away with murder' statement in there too

(waves hand) Bring me a taco!

I'm not one to critisize what another believes, but that's a special kind of stupid.

Ah the Jobcentre. The British equivalent of the American DMV.

Wearing a hood indoors? How rude!

whoops.....I meant criticize....critisice.....oh the heck with it

He's no Jedi, but I doubt he's a Sith. I'm betting he's one of the Jensaarai.

Soon, this will be the next wacky Hollywood cult. People will be like, "Did you know Jediism was started by a science fiction movie director?" and people will increduously comment "Wow, those weirdos think that some micro-organism gives them telepathy...".

CygnusDarius: He's no Jedi, but I doubt he's a Sith. I'm betting he's one of the Jensaarai.

Is that Jedi for douchenozzle?

Don't you mean midi-chlorians, Subby?

As an agnostic, I consider the "Jedi" religion to be no more strange or silly than most of the more popular ones.
In fact, Obi Wan's description of it is as logical and pleasing a description of a higher power as any I've heard.

What Jedi that doesn't adhere to the rules may look like.

While I think the guy is a big dork... I do agree with the argument that if you are going to "allow" certain exemptions with appearance because of "religious" reasons, you have to be pretty liberal with that, and you can't make judgment calls, especially where the exemption is similar (a "Jedi Hood" vs a Burka for example). Either both or in, or both are out.

Luckily the Jedi's have a ban on love and family. Not sure what the policy is about sex in general, one night stands, or hookers.

It's weird since you'd think force sensitivity would run in bloodlines, you'd think the council would want Jedi's breeding. But I guess it's kind of a take of Catholic priests or something.

I just lost a ton of respect for this man...



This is the guy in the photo, right?

This is not the job you are looking for...

He looks like Young Palpatine.

Dear Mr. Jarvis,
We're sorry you're a douchebag obsessed with a sci-fi movie.

I'd apologize and let him back in just so I could throw his unemployable ass back out a second time.

No job for you until you get on the right medication, Obi-wan Ke-loony.

Good luck with the whole getting-a-job thing, guy.

You'll need it.

Serious question: what's the difference between fiction written thirty years ago (that inspired a religion) and fiction written thousands of years ago (that inspired a religion)? If you ask me, the difference is that the Star Wars trilogy (trilogies) are better-written and make more sense.

I love when completely preposterous religions demand equal footing with the popular, completely preposterous religions.

Sorry for all the redundancy.

Didn't Obi Wan pull his hood down when he was talking to others? (as well as other Jedi?)

dsriggs: Don't you mean midi-chlorians, Subby?

Not subby here, but why would he mean that? I thought it was supposed to be that midi-chlorians are drawn to the Force, so that if you are Force sensitive you'll have more of them in your blood. Not a matter of them actually giving you Force sensitivity. They do nothing, they just like drinking your Force juice. Seeing a very high concentration of them in somebody is just an indicator, but you couldn't just inject a whole bunch of them into somebody else and make them a Jedi.

*** You want to give me a Total Fark Subscription ***

I like people like this - their stupid beliefs that everyone makes fun of them for having are just as ridiculous as any other religion. Yet, they don't quite see it that way. It's entertaining to watch.

Nope, they just have better special effects. Put a light saber it Jesus' hand and you've got yourself Obi Wan.

I'll grant you on the face of it, both are pretty loony.

But I will say this. Christianity doesn't promise you superpowers while you're alive. You may get promised stuff after death, but you can't actually show me that failure to deliver. So it's a more believable lie.

So, when a Jedi can show me he is able to move objects with his mind, use mind tricks, maybe force lightning or other Jedi powers and gets his lightsaber... I'll grant you the religion is delivering what it's promising. Until then, it's a farking movie, not a religion.

agreed

Thunderpickle, Farking Canuck:

Basically the difference is that virtually all major religions center around real, non-fictional people who promoted relevant (to the time at least) social principles. Yes, the fictional parts do enter in rather quickly, but they almost all originally center around an actual living and breathing human being who promoted living a certain way.

Just because someone disagrees with you does not make them a troll, asshat.

Somewhat serious answer.... anything that was created before you were born somehow is taken slightly more "seriously". IE, although many people still scoff at Mormonism, it is certainly given overall by society in general more legitimacy than Scientology. Why? Mostly because it came into being in the 1850s, instead of the 1950s, when many people alive now were still around, or have relatives that were alive.

I always believed one of the tenets of the Jedi was not to be a dick to others... but instead to respect and tolerate them. Forcing people to let you wear your hood up is not really in line with 'There is no passion, there is serenity.' Then again, I'm an Orthodox Jedi so they may have different, more 'modern' views.

/I blame the Prequels

Meanwhile, at the Mos Eisley Job Centre:

Haugh Haugh Haugh Huagh. Jabba n'o wa Jedi duku!

I'm not sure what a Jobcentre is but I think he needs to find both

Speaking as a Star Wars geek, this guy's just an attention whoring asshole. But if you're going to pretend to be a Jedi, at least go to the Party Store and pick up some Jedi robes. I never saw Obi Wan wearing a hoodie.

This sets a precedent though. I'm starting a new religion, "Mugatoism", where I get to walk around with my ballsack out and will sue anyone who condemns my beliefs.

It's really pathetic how some people take Star Wars too far. Now if you excuse me I have to put on my Star Trek Dress Uniform to get ready for a job interview.

It's fairly obvious he's doing some trollin', especially since I didn't give an opinion for him to disagree with in the first place. Great name calling though, you make the internet a better place.
