Heheh, you're right, but as Divine Dragon said, they can be very stubborn. :D I figure that it's pointless to try to say much else when they have their absolute and correct facts and don't believe in the possibility that they just might be wrong.

You're right, it is pointless. Just remind them what a fact is, and proceed to walk the other direction. :yes: As long as you've stated your brief argument, you've validated your morality and keep a clear conscience. When facing complete irrationality, that's all that's necessary. People that are that far gone can't be convinced of anything. :roll:

Ah.. Pokemon cards. Now those were some good times. I remember constructing killer decks and challenging all the kids in the neighborhood. Good times... good times. :mrgreen:

lol I got pokemon cards forever ago, only a few, and I never touched them. Put them in one of those funny little binders and never took them out. Still have em too. XD lol, I think my best card was Rapidash. XDDDD
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

x3 I always battled with mine. XDDD When Pokemon cards were "outlawed" in school, my freinds and I smuggled our cards into the bathroom and traded there. xDDD It was so cool. xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD :rofl: :rofl:

lol, outlawing cards? My school outlawed any game that had to do with running, they could care less if all the students sat down and got papercuts instead of bruises. XDDD

My school outlawed cards, too. They claimed the cards were interfering with classes or something silly like that. A few of us got together and started a club so we could play card games with official approval before and after classes started. If you can't beat the system, use the loopholes to your advantage. ;)

I remember when the cards were banned when I was in 5th grade. I still find it hilarious. :D

Since there was a lot of discussion in this topic regarding Card games, and especially, the Magic The Gathering card game, I thought this might be an indeal place for this topic below. Someone has sold a rare Magic The Gathering card for around $27,000.00 on ebay:

So much money ! :o I've played Magic : the gathering a few times and that was great but I've also played the Lord of the Rings card game, which was great too but a bit complicated ! ;)
