    A creature cannot be both a werewolf and a non-werewolf. It is either one or the other, and Hanweir Watchkeep is a werewolf, which means it cannot be a non-werewolf.

    Are you actually arguing that no one is ever 'curious about' or 'experiments with' homosexuality? It happens all of the time.


    I'm actually arguing that orientation isn't a choice. Fooling around with someone in college doesn't determine your orientation.

    people pick and choose orientation all the time. people try homosexuality, other go the other way some people stay with both etc... etc... etc... they flip all the time. doesn't sound hardwired to me.


    Do you really think this? Could you just go "try out" homosexuality? Attraction is either there or it's not. I can't convince myself to be attracted to someone. That's just not how it works.

    Nope because doctors are suppose to inform their patients of the consquences of their choices and actions. it is called responsible medicine.


    Once again, a federal judge has already ruled that doctors do this to a sufficient degree already. What's the issue here? Are you suddenly a doctor or a lawyer?

    Quote from mystery45

    as i said i don't care. it isn't an issue for me or one that i am concerned about. why? there are bigger fish to fry than who sleeps with who.
    i am not voting for him anyway so it doesn't matter i don't have to defend him.

    http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/importance_of_issues

    is the newest survey done. guess what as i said no one care.
    economy, ethics and corruption, healthcare, taxes, education and social security, immigration, national security.
    as i told you no one cares there are more important issues. those that do care are such a minority that well they don't even blip on the radar.


    Do you know how many people cared about equal rights for black citizens back in the civil rights era? Just because a minority of people care about something doesn't mean that it isn't an issue, and doesn't mean that certain people should have their civil rights denied, i.e. marriage.

    Quote from mystery45

    actually the boy scouts do not allow gay men to be troop leaders the last time i checked. in fact i am correct. they were sued but a judge ruled in favor of them because they are a private organization.


    Yeah, they don't, which is wrong due to the fact that they receive tax cuts from the U.S. government, but once again you missed the point. Do you not realize how offensive of an idea it is to imply that homosexuality is "just about the sex"?

    I have no problem with it. why? because if you truely want to kill something that is alive then you should have to see the life that you are willingly wanting to get rid of.


    Why? Because you said so? It was already overturned by a federal judge. It doesn't matter what you think is right, it matters about the rights held by both the woman and the doctor overseeing the procedure.

    Quote from mystery45

    You like another person in this thread have the same problem. right now people don't care. their main worry is putting food on their table for their familiy not someone's view on social justice.
    they want jobs. the want a working economy. those are the main issues and concerns for people. not who does what and when in their bedroom.

    it is a non-issue for them. calling people bigots and other things simply because they do not agree with your point of view of "social justice"is sensaltionist BS, and i will call it that every time.
    just like that rep from IN i think it was should be fired for saying tea party members want black to hang from ropes. He should be dismissed from his position and his office no questions asked.
    same thing for maxine waters saying that tea party members should go straight to hell.

    sensationalist BS that does nothing but continue to stir up hate the very thing these same people say shouldn't go on.
    why do they do it? because they can't run on anything else. they don't have any thing to run on. they can't run on their economic record it is in the dumps.
    all they can do is the same crap that you tried and that is to besmudge, belittle, and slander anyone they can.


    So because gay rights don't matter to certain people, they should take a backseat until whenever you deem their rights to matter? Do you really think that Rick Perry isn't homophobic or sexist? That his views don't matter even though he's making it a point to make them known?

    Edit: Here's some homophobic remarks he's made, just in case you want to try to defend him some more.

    In 2006, Governor Perry stood on a stage with a pastor who said that only one percent of all gays and lesbians will live to see old age and that homosexuality is a “breeding ground for disease.”


    Perry says homosexuality is clearly just about sex, and there's no place for sex in the Boy Scouts.


    Yeah, he totally has no problems with homosexuality. He holds a totally non-biased view against it. But of course you're going to have an amazing retort like "no one cares about boy scouts right now, they just care about getting food on the table, so that comment doesn't matter," or "no one cares about what age gays and lesbians live to, they only care about getting food on the table."

    Why? Now, I'm sure you have some reason why that would be both 1)homophobic and 2) sexist... But I'm not sure what it is. Care to enlighten me?


    He's against gay marriage, compared being gay to being an alcoholic, and is trying to pass abortion laws like the one i quoted above? Or do you need more reasons? In case you can't tell why that abortion law is sexist, I'll explain. Rick Perry is saying that women do not know what they are doing when they get an abortion, and forces them to look upon the fetus they aborting and listen to its heartbeat in order to "educate" them. Can you not see how that is sexist?

    Quote from mystery45

    utter total hogwash and BS. just like we have people calling other people bigots in this thread.

    unfortuantly that is what politics has degraded to these people simply can't focus on the issues.


    Yeah, you're totally right. It's not like their stances on any of these subjects will apply at all to the way that they make their decisions if they were actually to become president. We should just ignore their hateful comments and the ignorant laws they try to get passed.

    Rick Perry is homophobic and sexist. It's a good thing that his law to require women to get a sonogram and listen to the heartbeat of their fetus was blocked by a federal judge. I can't believe he'd even propose something like that, and I can't believe that someone who would propose something like that could be taken seriously in the presidential race.

    why? it says target goblin....
    if it dies....you can just tap it.
    unless your attacking with it then yes.


    Read the part of the card where it says "another target goblin." Or you could read the rulings for Mad Auntie.

    Why even make a thread? Just to complain? Because it's pretty clear you don't want any advice whatsoever, being the greatest limited player on this forum and all.

    Mana Leak says "Counter target spell..." When Phantasmal Image resolves, it stops being a spell and becomes a creature. You cannot target a Phantasmal Image that is in play with a Mana Leak.

    Quote from Maou
    and what happens to the remaining target it is lost?


    No. When a spell is resolving, it attempts to do as much as it can, which is return that one card to your hand, and then Restock will be exiled. A spell has to have all of its targets removed in order to be countered by the game rules.

  • posted a message on Restock and gy removal
    You pick targets when you cast the spell. You have to target two cards in the graveyard when you cast restock, and he can respond by removing one of them.

  • posted a message on Split Second vs Hive Mind
    You seem to be confused about split second. It does not do anything other than what it says it does, which is stop new spells and activated abilities from being put on the stack. The player whose turn it is will be able to cast a Hive Mind and then cast a pact after without giving you priority to cast your Krosan Grip. If they do cast the pact, then Hive Mind will trigger. It does not matter if you respond to that trigger by destroying the Hive Mind, as abilities on the stack exist independent of their sources, and you will still have to deal with the pact during your upkeep.
