This guy needs to get a life

Thanks for that Tony, for the reality check that I so obviously need.
The guy's an eccentric dressed as a Jedi FFS. He's hardly a threat to public safety. You need to get a sense of perspective.
I know he's no threat, but the principal is still the same. Maybe I was a little harsh on you so I appologise for that. However there's nothing wrong with my sense of perspective.0 -
...something started to go wrong about 20 years ago... its when "offending" people started to become some sort of crime...
... so what if somebodys religious feelings are upset, get over it, its only "feelings", its not like they just nailed you to a cross... sticks and stones... :?0 -
Britain has become the soft touch of the world, where sad w@nkers like this think that Human Rights means being treated as a special case. It's all rights and no responsibilities. Unfortunately they get away with it due to the overriding pc culture and people not wanting to cause offence.
Tescos has a rule. If he wants to shop there he should obey that rule - the Force is with Tesco in their own store.
Mind you, I love this: "If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of special offers."

If I were Lord Tesco I would have written an open letter telling him to fcuk off.
It's Tescos being tossers IMO.
I would. If a supermarkets rule is no hoods, then everyone should abide. If you want to wear a hood/headscarf/whatever when you shop, then go somewhere else for your food.0 -

Unfortunately they aren't in principle either. Have a look at the link I supplied.
According to the bible the it's acceptable to kill, rape, pillage, enslave, sacrifice humans and animals by burning... it's all OK. No need to be nice to each other at all. I think that religions become nicer as people become nicer and turn a blind eye to all the nasty bits (which I find commendable, by the way, and certainly don't think all Jews, Christians and Muslims are evil).0 -
Religeon is evil, just another way of having control and imposing your will on other people. Look at societies where a religeon has been the dominant force, from Catholic Ireland up to recently where child abuse was widely practiced with impunity by both priests and Christian Brothers who knew the authorities and the media would not dare expose them, to the way Muslim countries treat women and homosexuals today.
Religeous orders only become cuddly and nice when the majority of the population reject them and are not afraid to speak out.0 -
Do you think jedis could locate OBL ?
If we all spoke like Yoda would the world be a better place ?
I'd look daft with a beard and side parting.
Brown isn't the best colour.
Blokes dressed like Jedis make Kettle Chips, which is good.
real light sabre weilding could get you an ASBO or tagged.
Random jedi thoughts, must text the master with my musings...

Well said that man. Me likes the cut of your jib brother.0 -
Does it REALLY affect us if he wants to be a Jedi? I think not. I find it slightly amusing tbh, he's living the life he wants - how many of us can say we're ACTUALLY doing that? So in note he does have a life, lol! Unlike many of us who come on forums and slag off people telling them (when they're unlikely to read it) to get a life.
My local tesco has never told lads to remove hoodies while I've been in there tbh. I have seen loads wandering around in them, or baseball caps. :?
As for Jedi religeon.. its no different to any other religeon. As an athiest I see good and bad points in all religeons.. morals are good, judgement of other groups bad. Etc. I do think however that The Force is misunderstood, if you watch the Phantom Menace (as much as it grates, LOL) it explains The Force as nanobots controlling things iirc. Technology always seems to catch up with science fiction, could we oneday see The Force in some of it's forms for real. Faster people, higher intellects, quicker healing.. perhaps in that way yes.0 -

It's about a guy wanting to live out his fantasy, ie super powers over normal people, superiority over us normal blokes, he may as well want to be superman, it isn't going to happen.
I might be paraphrasing the quote here, but it was a guy being interviewed on his experiences in the First World War: -
"When it comes down to it, the war wasn't won by the Rifles, the Guards or the Black Watch, it was won by some clodhopper from a county regiment muddling through day to day as best he could."
That I can respect, not some want to be science fiction character.0 -

He's not harmed anyone, has he. So why the negativity?0 -
We seem to have two view points on here, one that he is a harmless eccentric, which is possible and the other viewpoint, the one which I subscribe to, which is he is a autoeroticist. It is an amusing piece about some guy wanting to wear a hooded garment around Tesco and not being allowed to, complaining that it is part of his religous belief.
We need some more information on this bloke to know how to react to him, but without any further information I am still holding my negative stance, what would you rather be doing? Making up a religion based on a film and trying to use it to manage your life, or be out cycling?0 -

What possible autoerotic nature do you see exactly? He wasnt wandering around the store on their CCTV with a second "light sabre" pocking out.
We dont need any more info. Its not our right here. Poor sod will end up on a register with this kind of paranoia. 0 -
Britain needs less attention seeking retards.0

There is a third possibility. He's just some *sshole kid doing something like this to get attention or on a bet.0 -

Maybe it was just a euphemistic way of referring to said bloke as a w****r?

Oooo gets a bit heavy doesn't it? ...the bloke in question is a tit, that's that, if the piece is written 'as is' then he's a humourless tit. A humourless tit with issues.
Anyone who thinks that a religion based on a screenplay and film of 100% fiction from the 1970s should even be called a 'religion' and have any rights associated with claiming to be one must be so PC that they are being ridiculously extreme themselves.
The policy of the store is quite obviously to do with faces being covered and security issues, its all very simple. What is the world coming to when this kind of crap is taken seriously. They should have said, 'well, I did ask you to remove your hood sir.... but.... tell you what, have a smack in face instead you big daft tit'.0 -
mfin - Anyone who thinks that their religion should have any rights associated with it (beyond the right to believe what they want) is ridiculously extreme already, I don't think you need to single out this 'Jedi'.

And what is your religeon then? Just so we can slap you for being a tit. :roll:0 -

Haven't got one, neither has the bloke, sorry 'tit', that claims to be a Jedi ...sorry, just read your other posts on this and we won't see eye to eye cos you seem to take this bloke's rights seriously and I find the whole thing laughable.

...are you feeling alright? "The Force is misunderstood" ...its not real, its out of a made up storybook you mentailist ...we even know the author, he's a bloke, he made it up. Jesus.0 -

Yes why, I've mearly explained the storyline of the film... My point is all religeon is made up, whether its put in an ancient text or not doesnt matter. Plenty of scientologists about
Tranfer the word "Jedi" for "Cyclist" and you have the same nonsense. We shouldnt be so judgemental.0 -
No. Its not the same. Some idiot dressed up like an extra from a science fiction film from the 1970s demanding rights for his 'religion' is pure crap.
That crap went around a few years back where if enough people put Jedi as their religion on the Census forms then it would have to be acknowledged as a religion. Im sure 99.9% of people put that on there cos they were taking the p1ss not cos they meant it.
Now you get some BellEnd in Tesco's getting funny about his rights to wear a hood cos of a 1970s film. Get real. Its a load of sh1t. If you see his principles and think he's in the right in asking for rights just like another religion then I think you're a bit mad or just arguing for the sake of it.
(and remember the guys probably making money out of this so there's a whole other motive to making a fuss I would imagine)0 -
