Politics / Re: Obama to sign law ending military gay ban

Sorry, the same argument has been made against women in the military. Didn't turn into an issue there, and I don't think that will be an issue now. Hell, there have been gay men and women in the military forever anyway (Alexander the Great anyone). Being out isn't going to cause them to act unprofessional. And I think that the non gay friendly soldiers will get used to the idea once a few of them have their asses saved by a gay comrade.

Ok, watched the video up to the point of the "caskets" inserted video, then I watched that. I will watch the rest of the video after Christmas, but up to where I watched it so far it has a conspiracy theory type feel to it. I'll comment on the rest later, but after 5 minutes of searching on the web this is what I came up with for the "caskets".

Check out this link: http://www.casketdiscount.com/vantage%20vault.html (http://www.casketdiscount.com/vantage%20vault.html). the second burial liner down looks a lot like the things FEMA has piled up. Depending on where you live in the US you may legally have to use one of these when you bury somebody in a coffin. They are meant to go around the coffin to keep the ground from settling above it, and can be lidded as you see in the video if needed to prevent contamination of ground water. The lid would go on the bottom in real life use. It would be easy enough to seal with a good polymer.

There are plenty of legit reasons FEMA could be stockpiling these. The easiest I can think of is superflu or a biological/chemical attack that kills lots of people quickly. You don't want the bodies lying around or it could create a secondary disease vector, so you'd probably want to put them in the ground as quickly as possible. In a crisis situation I could easily see them burying 2-3 people per liner with the intention of allowing relatives to claim bodies after the crisis passes. As an added bonus they are plastic and sturdy so it is unlikely that you would have a problem with ground water contamination (witch is actually their primary purpose).

I got no answer about the camps/trains/armored cars right now. I'll watch that bit later.

I have always felt that if somebody was signing up for a job where they could potentially catch a bullet (and not in the Superman way) it shouldn't matter what they do in their bedroom on their own time. That goes for any job for that matter, but I'm glad it's done and over with for the military.

I'm game for being somebody's apprentice. Name is kirondineer . I live in the US on the east coast so my time zone is Eastern Standard ( I think that's GMT -5).

Don't know how original this deck is but I want to test the post mechanics anyway.

I created a word document on my desktop to save any good decks I come across and have easy access to the 3 I tend to use right now. Awesome idea to add this to the forums. Glad I stumbled across this thread as I was wondering how to do this.

Outdated Tutorials / Re: Deckbuilding 101: From Noob to False God Slayer

Nice tutorial. After resetting twice I found this thread and built the earth starter from here (shrieker rush). It's a great starter deck and really easy to play. I've since moved on to other builds, but still have all the cards for it and use it to do some quick farming or PvP  matches.

I'm new here, started playing about a week before the updates. All in all though I like the new cards/changes. Although they do have me rethinking my tactics a bit. Not like they were well established or anything.  :P
