You play during work? Calls must have slowed down or something... :D

It depends what the situation is. If they're in a tourney, of course they're going to call a judge. Especially if you paid to play. But even if it's a side event or for fun, some "good" players would like to stay that way, so they remain focused on the game. As they say, "practice makes...

It'd be nice to get more confirmation about the CNN footage... I'm not saying it's false, just that a claim is just that until verified :) I agree wholeheartedly with the author from DUke's link; Afghanistan is pretty much beaten down already from the Taliban's rule. I have an anecdotal report...

Good for you! Stop the spread of misinformation! :)

Yeah, but aren't people (I know one on the CPA) glad that Blastoderm's rotating out? What good is a common if it's "overpowered" and people are glad to see it gone? Unless it's just that one person... :)

Multani: That is true and I agree. I don't have time to search for stuff myself, usually. But the reason why I ask for more info is because sometimes, just sometimes, people have a misconception of what happened or have not heard all the information and are basing their statements/arguments on...

It seems a lot of the arguments are referring to those posted right after the incident when emotions were running high. It's been almost a week now and (hopefully) people have had time to think things through. I did this before but I'll do it again: The viewpoints can be broken down as: A...

TICM: Actually, I think the economy is a slight concern because to a lot fo people, if the unemployment lines grow and a recession really begins, they will point to this moment and have "another" reason to blame whoever's responsible. And might push for war because it would pump up the arms...

If the clause that says we will go after the countries that harbor terrorism is enforced, it is conceivable that we might invade Afghanistan (the top on the list) or have to defend Pakistan or other countries if the Taliban invades back. That would be conventional: army vs army. I hope I know...

Okay, from what I'm reading, the first article doesn't try to link the Middle East conflicts directly to the WTC attacks but kinda says what Gizmo and DUke are saying (I think): that the US policies towards the Middle East might have stirred up enough emotions that we should have expected it...

I think it was the end of August/middle of September (now). If you can find them in Off-Topic, you'll know when they were.

What happened on March 29, 1971? 1. The famous Italian painter Massimo Campigli died of a heart attack. 2. The first arcade video game is released but the public finds it too difficult to play. 3. Casual Friday made its debut. 4. Ford recalled all of their Pintos due to exploding gas tanks. 5...

Probably the same likelihood as two bin Laden associates talking about how two targets were hit and having it captured by wiretaps or whatever... :)

I'd like to think that America is not arrogant in thinking that it can handle the rescue operations by themselves nor too prideful to accept help from other countries (which HAVE offered to help, BTW; many search and rescue teams are coming over from all over).

"Ah... and would anyone have been in the room while the cup was in here? A guard or another steward, perhaps?

I know what you've been through from your post in Off-Topic and I am happy that your family chose to fight against Hussein, but I feel, just like the WTC situation, that the US is only responding to aggression and not initiating it. I am truly sorry that innocents were killed in the repelling...

Can someone exactly explain with sources to back them up what "separation of church and state" mean? It seems rather casually bandied about here and I personally think that Baskil's "rebuttal" is flawed. I mean, come on, the state prints money with "In God we Trust". I know that's not a...

To put another perspective on this, while the no-fly zone maybe UN, it is primarily US, British, and French planes that enforce it. And I don't have the numbers, but the US planes are probably the majority. The UN is not wrapped around the US's finger but recognizes that it needs the help of...
