Argh! I already said that the scientific method doesn't do proofs. "Unproven theory" is meaningless. Nor is "theory" a tier lower in some hierarchy of certainty than "fact." Theories are systems, models used to explain collections of facts. None of those individual observations can ever be a...

Isn't the whole issue semantics? I mean, you started the thread because of an article in which people altered the forms for their marriage because of semantics. That's the difference between "Party A/B" and "Bride/Groom." That's apparently the difference between "marriage" and "civil union" in...

I said this in the other thread too, but I guess I can repeat it: I'm apprehensive about mentions of legislation that doesn't yet exist. I've seen some pretty crazy proposals and initiatives. Until something is actually law, I just don't think it "counts." Well, that doesn't really work...

I dislike colored artifacts for flavor reasons, but these cards are kind of interesting.

Well, I don't know. The fact is, I'm not a mind-reader. I could suppose that there is some area in which California civil unions are unequal to California marriage. I could suppose that it's because separate institutions are inherently unequal. I could suppose that they want that word "marriage"...

He could say that breathing is a sin against God and it wouldn't be a crime.

Like I already said, I'd be amenable to this sort of arrangement. I doubt it's going to happen, though.

HTML isn't a programming language. It's a markup language. I'm sure someone here understands and can explain the difference better than me...

When did this happen?

Spearbreaker Behemoth is somewhat cool as a utility creature. Where Ancients Tread is crap. I'll stick with my Pandemonium.

The card's name is Deep Water.

But EVERYTHING changes. Change isn't going to be stopped. Sure. I don't know about California, but nationwide there's a problem with "separate but equal." Think Brown v. Board of Education. It wasn't brought up with Proposition 22 though, in any case. So they seriously said that even...

Oh really? The only parts I've found addressing slavery deal with protocol. If you buy a slave, you must do this. If you sell your daughter into slavery, this protocol must be followed. There's protocol concerning if you beat your slave to death. Some stuff on how inheritance works with your...

Mycoloth could easily get huge. Sacrifice 5 creatures (potentially easy for green decks) and it's a 14/14 that pumps out 10 tokens during your upkeep. Let your token army build up for a few turn and play a second Mycoloth, then you can sacrifice 25 creatures for a 54/54 Mycoloth that pumps out...

Good point. With slavery, antebellum politicians used this as one of their favorite arguments. And with polygamy, it was at least brought up by the Mormons when they were fighting for legalized polygamy some time ago. So there are certainly things the Bible seems to condone that we as a society...

I voted for Sorrow's Path because it wastes a land drop on a land that you can only ever use to hurt yourself.

I don't know the details for every state, BB. Here, it's a protected class under the Washington State Law Against Discrimination.

Wait, what? This affected them because they wanted their marriage to be legally recognized under terms have now been changed and because they couldn't get their way, that's somehow a problem? Good. Actually, I'd rather not have someone whose religious beliefs are going to get in the way of...

It also lets you continue to use Channel's effect, which would be pretty crazy if you actually played Channel with this thing out...
