SWTOR: Meet the shi... Sith.

[Astaroth]

So true.
just for the record though, Sith != Evil

 

[Tycn]

This is the new Sith.

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

Sith happens, then you play this and wish you could die.

 

[Astaroth]

The Jedi fools are afraid of the power of the Dark side. They hide in their cradle of power, pretending to know all. The Dark side hides hides nothing from them. It is they who are too blind to see what they do not wish to see.

May the Force serve you well.

You are polish, aren't you.

 

[LusciousPear]

How does one say "Buttthurt" in polish?

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

krsztszi scztnikszs

that means butthurt detected

 

[ScottishMartialArts]

So true.

Just for the record, the Sith aren't real. We aren't discussing an actual fucking philosophy here.

 

[juggernaut]

playing around with google translate gives me: tyłek ranienie wykrytych

I really hope that translates to something like "I have discovered ass pain"

 

[Black]

That's not how bioware works.

 

[Gay-Lussac]

Wikipediasays you guys are full of shit

Jediism is a non-theistic new religious movement[1][2][3] based upon the philosophical and spiritual ideas of the Jedi as depicted in Star Wars media.[4][5] The real-world Jedi assert the existence of the Force.[citation needed] According to recent censuses in some English-speaking countries, over 500,000 people declared their religion as Jedi.[6][7][8][9][10] In addition, a few Jedi churches/temples exist around the world.[11]

Philosophy
The Jedi interpret and use the philosophic teachings found in Star Wars and other inspirational sources. Jediism is a blend of Taoism and Buddhism. It also shares basic ideals with many other religions and the Code of Chivalry. In spite of holding different views and having different interpretations of the abundant Star Wars material, the Jedi share a set of core values essential to their path, namely, the Force and the code of conduct similar to the chivalry code, more commonly known as "The Jedi Code". But there is no set path and no "holy book" in Jediism.

The Force
The Force is what most Jedi believe everything comes from, what everything currently exists within, and what everything returns to. It is the energy behind the existence of everything known or unknown to humanity, an "unified field theory", a theory in philosophy and theoretical physics. The Force does not require prayer, worship, or other such actions as some other religions might.

Most Jedi choose to focus on the Force through one or more of the three widely accepted spiritual aspects: the Personal Force, the Living Force and the Unifying Force.

The Sides of the Force
The Jedi share different views regarding the Force and its nature. Some view the Force as having a Dark Side and a Light Side, while many prefer the "Potentium" theory.

In Jediism, the most accepted explanation is that the Light and Dark sides of the Force are reflected by the individual's intent and emotional state within their personal Force.[citation needed] Some have also debated that the Star Wars movies make no mention of any other "sides" but the dark side, and argue that the Force has no sides at all, with the dark side merely being the corruption they bring to their personal Force. The light Jedi believe it is a trait to be compassionate and care about improving and helping the lives of others, while dark Jedi (or Sith) focus exclusively on self improvement and interest. The shadow Jedi argue that good and evil are points of view, and that both Jedi and Sith wrongly interfere with the natural flow of the force, calling "sides" of the Force nothing more than superstition or metaphors.

No. I'm a figment of your collective imagination. It's my job to torment you for your past misdeeds.

Can we drop this jedi-sith discussion now?
I'm sorry to have brought it up.

Hmmm... I can totally see that.

Greatest thing is, their techniques would be almost equally effective in a real fight. The only difference is in their relative fitness and reflexes. And the guys in the first video aren't retards.
They aren't buddhists, though. Violence doesn't exist in Buddhism.

However, the Shaolin are still impressive in terms of physical stunts, even if not so much in terms of combat practicality.

 

[Astaroth]

EDIT: Read whatever Sagus has to say about it. He's evidently a Shaolin master

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

No.It is Taoist. Its a form of self defense. You do not attack. You use the momentum of your opponents attack to stop/hurt them .

...

*sigh*
Taoism is a set of philosophical and religious beliefs. What Shaolin 'monks' practice is called Wushu and is not restricted to internal styles. Nor is the use of opponent's momentum/weight/anatomy restricted to Wushu.

Personally, I think you should make a different alt, this one's not all that amusing.

[Multiple Sarcasm]

Yes, you are clearly more knowledgable in these things than I am, I defer to your wisdom.

Sounds bad-arse, OP! Can't wait!
