    CPA Build-a-Deck III: Jace Beleren

    This guy seems kind of crappy. His first two abilities seem at odds with each other and his big ability requires too much of an investment. Oh well, at least we can protect that investment with countermagic... Jace Beleren Planeswalker - Jace Loyalty: 3 1UU +2: Each player draws a card. -1...

    Ah, thanks for clarifying. So you're a bigot. And yet AGAIN, of course they would seem significant TO YOU. Legally, they should not be.

    This game is crazy. I don't know why I brought such a boring deck.

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    Non sequiter. The importance of marriage had nothing to do with what I said. What? No, you didn't. You said nothing about voting. That was me. And it ignores the whole point of what I was saying anyway. But you are apparently unable to present this evidence? There are far more similarities...

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    I accidentally cut the one paragraph without remembering to paste it back in. I was lazy and instead of editing my post, I just made a new one. It might as well have been part of the other post. It doesn't matter. And that's the whole problem with the argument. You would find it tyrannical...

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    First off, that's a sham argument. And a very common one. The people that make it always seem to think that it's totally reasonable, but they never apply it to any other thing. And it could be applied to just about anything. "But we do have equal rights. I can vote if I own land, and you can...

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    When did this happen? Once again, we already know that "separate but equal" is a sham. At what point did you get the impression that I might claim your beliefs are not your beliefs? Seems pretty tautological that they are... I respect people. But I don't respect opinions. My own included...

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    Nothing in the First Amendment says anything about what individuals should or should not do. Rather, it says what the government is not allowed to do. I'm not the government, so I can't violate your First Amendment rights. If I were trying to silence you, which I have not done, that could...

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    Links to what studies? Studies showing that people can/can't help who they are. I think I'm pretty safe in claiming that there are no such studies. Seems quite impossible to study. At the very least, one can always say, "You're not REALLY trying." That alone seems sufficient, and there are...

    Another Stupid "What if..." question

    Yeah, it's kind of a murky topic. Socialist philosophy is complicated enough that it probably can't be summarized well in one sentence. A prevalent school of socialist thought today seems to be the "democratic socialists" who definitely don't believe that there shouldn't be any rich people...

    wizards is giving out free decks

    This is actually a very cool idea. The aim is, of course, to draw in new business. But it's cool enough that I actually hope it succeeds in that endeavor. I placed my order. If a couple of us do get these decks in and there's some variation in them, we should totally play some forum games with...

    Yes, you're correct. You gain 17 and Mooseman gains...a Drain Life card in his graveyard.

    Curvy Cucumbers

    This story may be accurate. I don't know. But I've heard quite different versions on this issue in the past. More sinister. For example, one country might have done well in the past with its growers in the cucumber department. Then another country comes along and starts exporting cheaper...

    Another Stupid "What if..." question

    Howso? Yes. Well, if that's right, the assertion (I'd think you've heard it as it was quite popular) was that Obama was a socialist or very much like a socialist all because he would "redistribute the wealth." His policies would not be a "total" redistribution of resources. But I'm not...

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    What is so "right" about a civil union? Civil unions started because people went, "Well, it makes sense that you'd want to take advantage of the same legal things associated with marriage. But we just can't let you have the NAME 'marriage' along with them." In my case, I don't want the name...

    Another Stupid "What if..." question

    So we take the "wealth" from people and use it to pay other people to maintain roads. This "wealth" was "distributed" in one way, and then some of it was taken and "distributed" elsewhere. There's a word in the English language for when the "distribution" of something (wealth, in this case) is...

    Party "A" and Party "B"

    I was talking about the one mentioned in the article Mooseman linked to. It was an attempt to amend the Florida state constitution to remove some antiquated and embarrassing text that was targeted at Asian immigrants during the fear of a "Yellow Menace" roughly 100 years ago. The measure...
