Another of my allies. Is the tactic of employing one's enemies against themselves common on your planet or are you simply among the least intelligent of its inhabitants?

First they're your allies then your enemies. Make up your mind.
And you know, you tend to repeat yourself in your sentences. Lines like "if you are not with me, then you are my enemy" just kind of make me go WELL DUH.
I just realized that this guy wanted to trade his 3D game for another 3D game so he wouldn't get seizures, when he had already played through to Act 3 in 303...

I know, right? That's what I was trying to make sense of. The only problem is... it doesn't make any at all.

Really? Because it's supposed to portray a very extremist viewpoint in which anyone who doesn't agree 100% with you needs to be destroyed.
It's entirely possible to be neither with nor against someone (and that's usually the case of the majority of people).
(Also, I just woke up and might be missing your sarcasm, so sorry about that).

It's just an extremely obvious thing to say, so much so its stupid. What else would he say? "If you are not with me, we are the best of friends and I want to take you out for coffee with milk and cream and sugar and a nice scone with whipped cream and icing and sprinkles and a little teeny weeny cherry on top with the stem removed because you know the stem can make you choke and it just isn't very healthy or delicious compared to the cherry itself."

If this doesn't really confuse her I'm not doing my job right.
So am I... but I am not nearly that annoying, right...
RIGHT?
*sobs*
You're autistic?
hmm. Do you mean, like actually autistic or you just have Asperger's Syndrome? I know two people IRL with Asperger's.
The guy I've known since we were both 12 (now 32) , and he's always been... weird. By weird I mean generally out of touch with social cues to the point of rudeness, extremely uncomfortable in social situations that aren't on his own terms, and fixates on certain topics of discussion.
The girl I've known since college, and though she admits to having Asperger's and says she has a hard time dealing with certain issues, she just seems like a relatively average person with some silly quirks at times (which are sometimes more pronounced than others.) But hey, everyone is odd in one way or another so she seems acceptably normal to me.

In Episode III of Star Wars, George Lucas wrote that as a somewhat clumsily executed reference to George Bush's "You're either with us or against us" speech.

I do not know of the Georges of which you speak... of.
I am, however, familiar with the phrase "if you are not with me, then you are my enemy". It is something I have said numerous times to people through the Press and the Galactic Empire's Official Website. You misunderstand its meaning.
The phrase is intended to clarify that the Galactic Empire views all those who are not compliant to be actively non-compliant. If you are not willing to join us, you are seen by us as an enemy. If you are not willing to join us, you will die.

Gaston said something along those lines in Beauty and the Beast, and I think there might be a similar line in X-Men as well.
If Bush used a phrase that's such a villain cliché, too bad for him, but that doesn't mean the next person who uses it is referrencing him rather than just using a cliché.

I think he may have used it because it sounds cool - he hasn't quite got the intelligence to be a cliché villain.

I find your lack of faith disturbing. I demand that you tell me if it is true that "Comrade Pants" is a guise of Andrew Ryan's.
No, "Andrew Ryan" was a guise of Comrade Pants.
's true.
You can ban me, but you will never have my threads!
I am not a patient man, Ryan.
What are you going to do, have an asthma attack?
Problem solved. I'm awesome.
...with a gun?
Would you prefer an axe?
It's closer to a lightsabre than a gun is, so go for it.

Not that I'm siding with Garth or anything, but I think he meant "one's enemies" as in, like, your enemies. Just saying... Carry on... >.>
Eh, not feeling good...kinda jittery, kind of half sleep deprived.
He was obviously too busy saying things like "yipee" as a kid to learn English properly.
You and I appear to have different ideas of how Basic is spoken. I speak it correctly.
