    and black has Moonlight Bargain and that is instant speed, not as good as it was rumored to be before the pre-release but still a decent draw spell so not all instant speed card drawing is dead

    a lot of things the US does are inexcusable, however for oullada to say that Suicide bombing is no worse than what the US military does is just plain stupid and wrong, i myself do not agree with a lot of what the US government does and i work directly for them, however i do know there is a difference between acts of Terrorism and Military actions. I know the military kills innocent civilians, the really big differentiating factor is that we do not intentionally TRY to kill innocents, whereas the terrorist who straps c4 to his body and runs into a crowd of innocent civilians is intentionally doing so. Last time i checked we had one of our own do something similair and that guy got put do death, his name Timothy McVey or however you spell his name, i dont see oullada crying his heart out for him ( and no Mcvey was not a 'Suicide' bomber but the result was the same, the deaths of a lot of innocent people who did not deserve it )

    Quote from Dr. Tom »
    The point is that their motivations don't matter.

    Islamic terrorists have instituted numerous attacks on America in the past twelve years, and they have killed thousands of innocent people in the process. They have also captured and beheaded innocent civilians working to improve conditions in the Middle East. Why they're doing these things is ultimately immaterial: their actions are evil. You don't sit around and try to understand evil, you destroy it.

    Personally, I think we need to kill a lot more terrorists and a lot more terrorist supporters. We're fighting this war with kid gloves. I'd have no problems if hundreds of thousands, even millions, of subhuman terrorist slime died for their sins against the free world. We need to send a clear message that strapping C4 to yourself and detonating it in public, or flying planes into skyscrapers, will be met with a swift, terrible, and merciless response.


    This is preposterous. Terrorists seek to maximize the deaths of innocent people. Our soldiers seek to minimize those same deaths. There will always be civilians killed in times of war, but we're not deliberately targeting them; the terrorists are. If you can't see that distinction, then there's really nothing else I can add.


    Seconded!

    oullada the only threads i see you ever starting, are all about the War in Iraq and how much you hate Americas Military and Bush. LJustus is not the only one who is tired of seeing these rediculous threads constantly popping up and you telling everyone that america is horrible and that bush sucks etc... If you dont like america fine, keep it to yourself or wait until someone wants your opinion instead of saying something asinine like " Suicide bombing is basically the same thing that our military is doing. " I am in the Air Force and last time i checked we dont run around iraq or afghanistan blowing up innocent people.

  • posted a message on Helldozer: Better than Demonic Hordes?
    this should be in New Cards Discussion and the Demonic Hordes are 5/5 creatures so the Helldozer has one Power higher than the hordes, not one toughness lower. And the dozer is the better card IMHO

    aggreed, the Vulturous Zombie is awesome, every time he has hit the board he has wrecked it, that means something in my book but yes he really shines in UBG decks

  • posted a message on Plague Boiler and tapping
    thanks i kinda figured i was right, i used the 9th edition Howling Mine to show him that if tapping it shut it off it would state it on the card but he kept arguing, thanks for the help

  • posted a message on Plague Boiler and tapping
    ok so here goes I have a Plague Boiler out with two counters on it. My opponent has a Mind over Matter. He says that at the beginning of my upkeep he can discard a card to tap the Boiler, thus preventing it from gaining its third counter and going boom, i give into that because im not 100% that he is wrong, however during my turn i pay the three to put another counter on the Boiler and he says that because it is tapped i cannot do this, now i know that that cannot be right just want some backing, thanks in advance

  • posted a message on Iraq, the greatest strategic disaster in US history?
    as i posted before i am a SSgt in the United States Air Force I have been to Iraq, i will not disclose the exact location, i will not say this is the next worse thing to Veitnam because it is not. Dont get me wrong it is horrible in its own right but its not that bad. My opinion is exactly this. We should not have gone in the first place without proper backing ( i.e. the UN ), however now that we are there and the New Iraqi Government is still not entirely stable, if we were to just pack up and leave we would look worse than we did charging into the country in the first place. It is not however something to compare to Veitnam as that was during a different time and involved an entirely different Ideal. That being/ Iraq War=Terrorism/ Veitnam War=Communism
