    Hey dogs, I haven't been following the story that has unfolded but I figured you would like this. I received a mysterious letter in the mail and through some Google-Fu I found it was related to what you have been following, the letter reads:

    Master Lywer,

    When you cross the moors,
    stay on Angel's Way until
    you reach the river. Say a
    blessing at each alther you
    pass. Do not permit night to
    overtake you.

    I haven't the manpower to
    recover your corpse.

    Gregel
    Militia Captain

    An image of the letter is attached below...

    I'm surprised that there are some people who think Slovenia can sneak past us Yanks. Watch for Jozy Altidore to break out big time as he did in the Confederations World Cup. I think this is the year where the Stars and Stripes prove that they can play with the world's best.

    Is anyone seeing Jace as a new sorta Cryptic Command in planeswalker form? I mean, he does do almost everything blue does except counter spells...

  • posted a message on IRELAND VS FRANCE (soccer)
    Quote from Syphon
    It's called football, you people. FOOTBALL. Not soccer. How does it make sense that american football is called football when most they do is run with the ball IN THEIR HANDS?!
    Anyway, rules are against Ireland, but I would've loved to see the frogs go home early.

    Edit: After reading this thread, I got an e-mail from one of my Irish friends:

    Hello,

    Last night Thierry Henry's handball robbed us of the chance to get to South Africa for the World Cup. However, I've just signed a petition which will go to Sepp Blatter demanding the game is replayed. Add your name here:

    The more names we get, the more likely the game is to be replayed.

    Thanks!

    Actually, its really called futbol. Different cultures call it something different, deal with it.

    Thierry Henry's handball was pretty blatant. Really big shame on the ref for missing that call. However, there is no way they can replay the whole game. This sort of stuff happens all the time in Baseball and the players just keep playing, its part of the game.

    Anyway, all I can say is LETS GO YOU YANKS!

    I agree. I have been playing this game everyday for weeks now. I can't stop playing. What exactly is the 360 control? Have you played be a pro mode? I like the idea but I'm not sure how well it would work...

    Quote from TheArchitect
    I outsource my creatures from Mexico. It's cheaper.


    The only response to this is, what will you do with your brand new prize of 1,000,000 internets?

    I never thought about this... I'm glad to see players who actually like to play the role of a planeswalker!

  • posted a message on 2016 Summer Olympics to be held in Rio de Janeiro
    Quote from RickCorgan
    So the IOC decided earlier today to award the 2016 Olympic Games to Rio, Brazil instead of Chicago, Tokio, and Madrid.

    It will be the first time the games will ever be held not only in Brazil, but in all of South America, and only the second time they will be held in Latin America (after Mexico City 1968).

    In my opinion this is going to prove invaluable to the sporting culture in the country. I think sports currently don't receive half the attention it needs to in Brazil as a tool of social development (aside from football/soccer, for the most part). Hopefully the Olympics (and the FIFA World Cup two years earlier) will not only help modernize the country's sporting infrastructure, but also the sporting culture as a whole.

    Congratulations! Your country must be extremely excited. However I feel cheated that Chicago got knocked out so early considering it was supposed to win (at least that's what the American media has been saying, I have no idea how one can be the projected winner) and you are getting the 2014 World Cup. On a separate note, I hope America wins its bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup. If not, I think we will have a problem...

  • posted a message on President Obama wants to cut back Summer Vacation in the U.S.
    I disagree with the three more hours in school idea. After all a person can concentrate and retain information for so long. Why do you think we have homework? It is so we do work outside of the classroom and learn on our own. I am, however, in favor of the no summer vacation idea as long as we are willing to fund for air conditioning in schools. Have you ever tried to learn Calculus in 96 degree weather? Neither have I, and I sure as hell don't want to try. I think the Big O is trying to much here. First lets try to fix the economy, two wars, and healthcare first shall we?

    Jiffy Photo Baseball Cards and Gamer's Realm are the two shops that I go to in Jersey. Jiffy's has a more competetive crowd than Gamer's Realm but there are alot more people that go there and the guys that run the store know ALOT more about the game than the guys at Gamer's Realm...

    I agree with Dark_Flame. Only the cool kids go to Jiffy Cool

    I didn't say early did i? nope i said that he lowered the deficit up until the economic collapse.

    Right, you lowered the deficit until your lack of regulation caused an economic collapsed.
    Quote from mystery45

    This is no true in the least. there were several other plans offered they all got shot down. One plan was to give a 5K tax credit and suspend payroll taxes for 6 months.

    That would have been a far greater boost the the economy. I wasn't for any of the so called stimulus packages because they weren't stimulus packages.

    It would be a great stimulus so that citizens can afford an insurance plan that will screw them over once the patient needs it most.
    Quote from mystery45

    Private insurance providers will lose thousands of customers as businesses shed people that are below that 8% mark. they will lose millions of dollars and not be able to compete against the government plans. again there is no competition against government.

    God forbid the companies that exploit the sick and elderly lose money. Oh the humanity!
    Quote from mystery45

    Then instead of dragging the rest of society down to support these people how about we raise their level and increase their job skills so they can get a better job. There are never few option in america. People have a millions of options in america it is whether or not you as a person take advantage of that.

    Yes because instead of paying for their health insurance and dragging down society we should pay for their college or even graduate school education and drag down society.
    Quote from mystery45

    Yes that is why jobless claims are increasing and the unemployeement rate is at 9.6% compared to 7%.

    You're telling me that economic stimuli aren't supposed to work instantly?! NO WAY!
    Quote from mystery45

    In fact they are the ones that created the most problems in the healthcare system to begin with and you expect them to fix it?

    The Democrats created a market where companies "insure your health" for an expensive price but provide service which is incredibly unreliable?
