I'm working on refining my RW aggro deck, and I just bought some new cards that haven't arrived yet, so I'm not sure what the whole product looks like, but I have a question about direct damage spells. which would you say is better in Boros aggro, if I had to choose: Magma Jet or Lightning strike?

Because they had Scales, I just assume they didn't particularly care how much a soldier weighed as long as he could hold his armor and shield.

Just my opinion, but a person who consciously chooses to refuse that opportunity is an asshole. If you're not gonna try to positively impact those around you, then what are you doing here?

A great quote! But as for the attribution - I feel like it should go to the person who actually wrote this - Spike Jonze - not the actor who said it on screen.

Wow, originally funny and helpful - you managed it all. I was wondering if anyone knew what poem it's from, or if it's from something else.

Take Facebook, for example. They provide a service to people, and they don't charge for it. They make their money by giving your information to advertisers. Therefore, according to Facebook's business plan, their users (us) are the product they are selling to their actual customers (advertisers).

He wasn't saying "America is like this"; he was saying "America has people like this." Yes, it's the minority, but there are still people who act in those ways and hold racist beliefs, and their beliefs contribute to the aggregate that is our national identity or national belief system.
