Okay.

Okay. I've seen this "meme" passed around a lot over the past week and I have issues with it's message. Specifically the part about Han Solo not believing in the Force.

At no point in the original trilogy does Han Solo say or otherwise indicate that he does not believe in the Force. He calls the Jedi a "hokey religion" sure, but he never says he doesn't believe in the Force. He may not put faith in the Force, but that's his prerogative and in no way diminishes his belief in it. 

Oh, and his job, the only one he was hired to do, was to get Kenobi and Luke to Alderaan, which he failed to do. Not his fault, of course, since Alderaan was destroyed before he could complete his contract. That doesn't mean he "still did the job he was paid to do."

So, this meme is all kinds of wrong and stupid and people should stop sharing it immediately.

It was just funny, regardless of inconsistencies. ;)

Poking fun at Kim Davis or any person who forces their religious perspective on others is always fun, but let's keep it real.

Points taken, and I wouldn't share the meme either, but "let's keep it real" is really funny when discussing details of the Star Wars universe. 😉

As a county clerk, Han Solo would issue first.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
