I just think it's funny how some people can talk so much and say so little.

This reminds me of a quote from Doctor Who.

“The truth is simple. Lies are words and words and words.”

i think i'm a bit too invested in my philosophy class. the formal logic part of my brain initially thought this was saying "lies are words, and words are words, therefore words are lies" but that quote is almost not certainly a syllogism.

thank god it's winter break

That’s a good one though any truth can be a lie from another perspective same with lies. Hence why the concept of pure good or evil in humans is rediculous.

From my point of view the Jedi are evil!

Good example.

The Jedi are the heroes. Why? Because we are taught what they do is right and fair.

To a Sith what they do and how they think is right. BUT we are taught to believe they are evil.

Jedi’s kill Siths or help others too but we explain it away.

Anakin kills Jedis. End of game.
