I agree. It's like diarrhea of the mind; spewing whatever, wherever, with no solidity. If the writer was trying to get a point across, it was lost and the piece should be better constructed to lead the reader to whatever point they were trying to make. In other words, like Whyte Horse said, organize your thoughts and structure your piece so as to convey your point of view.

the first time this was posted i saw a random stranger invoking the category of sith and asking me to click a hyperlink that said "nimrod"
and took it as the internet's version of "hey,hey, pull my finger"
@Heavenly Warrior - im not that interested in Sith stuff but if i were, i would ask the people who have been posting here for years who i know have put a lot of time and energy into it
no offense but i dont know you, and every few weeks or sometimes months a new person comes through wanting to talk about Sith based on their own assumptions and expectations, and what they have to say is quite different from what actual practicing Sith have to say for themselves
its been done enough times that most of us arent really excited to jump into it again
and took it as the internet's version of "hey,hey, pull my finger"
Warning: Spoiler!
i know nimrod is a file format but ive always heard it used to mean something of an idiot. i asked google and apparently it also means "a skillful hunter" or "an inept person"

It won't let me have a blank signature ...
When people sometimes mention 'printing the internet' this article is what I imagine it would look like.

I have a question, and this is the second time I've asked it, what's the point? Was a Sith for thirty plus years before coming here, this fails to enlighten or inspire me...

I did a quick read over the document given. I'm gonna have to agree with the comments that have already been made. Lots of points are made but don't seem to go anywhere, and the document itself needs a lot of work. I do wish you luck in your future edits!

I was a bit let down that you left out page 13, where for a full paragraph Dr. Frankenstein's dyslexic monster realizes that GOD backwards is DOG.

I appreciate what you're trying to do, Heavenly Warrior. I think you need more practice though in writing. Which, in my own experience, came about by reading. A lot. Aside from the 100 or so Star Wars books I read, I also ready dozens of philosophical books. I'm not bragging, just trying to give you an idea of what it takes to get a grasp of grammar and flow—without taking classes, that is.
I did take some writing classes, but still think it was all the reading I've done in my life that taught me how to organize my thoughts and present them in a clear and concise manner.
Don't quit, no matter what you read here in these posts. Just practice. And read.
That's not to say I agree with Darwin or Nietzsche, but from one writer to another, this is my advice.
EDIT: Oh, and Br. John, if you have something to say, just say it, instead of hinting at it with cartoons.
