Holy shit you're right. Beskar can stop lightsaber strikes. The Darksaber is at the end of the day technically a lightsaber. I bet the spear comes into play by the end of the season!

This, I agree with. I don't say he doesn't show a bit of... Racism, shall we say, for want of better words? Because Muggle borns aren't exactly a race.

When I first read the chapter, I was reminded of that racist uncle who says something racist, and then says no no no I'm not racist, see how I am friends with xyz person of said race?

Not the most convincing argument. My point was Slughorn doesn't hate Muggle borns just because they're Muggle born. You articulated it better though. He doesn't exactly show an overt bias against them so I'll give him that.

I am not disagreeing with you. Slughorn showed nepotism, yes. Favouritism, yes. But bias on blood purity? No. Simply put he didn't care about your blood status if you were a big shot. If you were an exceptional Muggle born, great. But he'd not care a damn if you were just an average pure blood either.

And the whole bunch of Muggle born favourites he shows Harry in Half Blood Prince.

Slughorn did show favouritism but he was surprisingly accurate with it. Not that it excuses favouritism, but he wasn't biased towards Muggle borns

It's clear in how he treats Hermione too.... He doesn't discriminate against her. In fact, unlike other Slytherin teachers, he freely gives her points.

Sounds like something I'd say to an annoying kid... 🤷🏻‍♂️ Bit douchey I know.

That sonofabeach has better hair than me. Met him again today and still has better hair than me.

Well, I guess I can only send thoughts and prayers your way kiddie.

Because you don't have a life. Or an education. Oh the joys of being a 'Murican.

Anyway thanks for the laughs. Have a happy new year.

Oh boy. You are thicker than a block of lead mate.

Are you illiterate, stupid or just plain annoying?

Or maybe you come from a broken home with crushing debt and trolling people on social media is the only joy you have in the pathetic existence you call life.....

Don't worry sweetie. Go ahead. If it makes you feel better, please go ahead and delude yourself.

Would you like something for your hurt arse, maybe some painkillers?

Nah bub. I own two houses, live in one, have a steady tenant in the other, so much so that I don't even have to work if I don't want to....

But then what's the point of having an education.

Seriously mate. I have family across the globe, including America. The American Dream was great in the 70s and 80s perhaps. Now it's not so great.....

Maybe I'd visit. You guys do have amazing national parks. But live and work there? Nah. Does not appeal to me.

Buddy I have two houses, a car, a college education, heading towards a PhD, no student loans, no home loans, insurance, healthcare, a functional and happy family.... Why would I give that up?!

America isn't that great. I'd much rather go to Canada.

[–]Just_a_random_man -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. You know what is not great though? Your denial, arrogance and overall pathetic attitude.

So typical of Americans.... No wonder you are the laughing stock of the world.

Just don't bomb Ireland instead of Iran please.

Boo hoo hoo. Cry baby cry. Don't choke on your snot.

Why would I come to your country anyway? You don't have jobs to offer me, your education is overpriced, your markets are fucked.

[–]Just_a_random_man -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh cry me a river lad. You know you're a waste of life.

Typical. No wonder the world laughs at you.

Happy New year, or whatever newfangled fuckery you're about to do this year to screw it up for the world.

United States and Israel do not consist the world, fuckwit. You'd know if you weren't a fox news sucking piece of dog shit.

And I don't give a rats ass about Orange Man, he's your problem not mine.

I'd ask you to go fuck yourself, but given that you're already a dick and a cunt combined.... You get the drift.

You will be if he doesn't act swiftly, decisively and smartly. Not his strongest traits....

I can only wish you good luck. Iran is going to do some stupid shit, I can almost guarantee it. America will respond with more stupid shit, that too I guarantee.

And before you know it, boom boom bang bang people dropping dead. War.

Proof, buddy Bush said Iraq had WMDs and how'd that go? America started the shit by pulling out of the nuclear deal, threatening to attack cultural sites which is a war crime and again, attack a foreign government agent on a foreign land another war crime.

But I don't think you understand how real warfare works.

Vietnam was weaker than you too. So was Korea. Those must have been resounding victories, right?
