archangel

can someone answer my question? lol what new 'powers' are you talkin' about, Nick? Not quite sure I follow (unless you mean the suit).

....care to elaborate?

though you do have to give Parker Credit: at least getting fucked by Tony comes with some awesome perks (like a knew suit that all but gives you head, and more money than the Bugle)

...that's because spidey CAN'T do shit against Jugsy...

i dunno, in recent comics he seems to have all his power back...

Well, remember: Juggernaught is a good guy now (at least from what I've managed to gather), and Peter is Iron Man's bitch, so there is the ability of protecting Aunt May and MJ...it'll be interesting to see HOW, though.

couldn't remember where that was.... ...I'm working off 2.5 hours of sleep, cut me some slack, man lol

wait a sec..... ........I think I was there for that one.....

All caught up. Now that I see how it works, I like spidey's new suit. This is starting to go straight to hell in a handbasket.

ok, now how do I open the torrent?

you may wanna add your info, IC....it's saying: Sorry but you are not authorized to view or download this Attachment

The question of the X-Men is interesting: I think the reason people hate muties but love the other heroes is because the other heroes are still human: it's kinda hard to like the people who's species is supposed to supplant yours.

lol Good answer, Nick.

Desiderata (Things to be Desired) by Max Ehrmann Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Things are really starting to bubble over.... ...perhaps it's the heat? I hate the summer.

the bloody thing is my way of cursing...been doing it since middle school. the mate thing comes out every now and again...usually after watching Eddie Izzard (bugger really rubs of on you....minus the whole 'bloke in a dress' bit)

eh?

anything on House of M, mate?

who else has ever done that with the coin. Only person I can think of is in DC

...and no one at the meeting asked, knowing full well Matt was in prison?

Yea, I read it all...I'd like to catch House of M to see what happened to the Mutants....and wtf is up with Spidey's new suit? And who the fuck was in the DD costume...I thought everyone already knew but me...

There are a few problems here. The primary being the current running of S.H.I.E.L.D. Because of the corruption, this could really have the shit hit the fan. However, the flip side to this is that you have people with unbelievable power running around being vigilantes. While Spider-Man makes good points, I can't disagree with this agenda. I think what pushed Cap over wasn't so much the Initiative, but making a task force to take the people who don't sign on down. That's pitting friend against friend, and Cap wasn't about to hunt down, say, Peter just to sate S.H.I.E.L.D's latest ego-trip. But even then...I can't help but agree with IM here. The argument is simple: The Constitution gives you the right to bear arms, but not any dickhead can run around with guns; there are rules. What's more, you can even LOSE the RIGHT to bear arms. These people have rediculous power, only it's inate. What accountability do they have? Do they have any training? I mean, what happened with Speedball's group was a perfect example. While Logan may have problems with this (understandably)...I can't help but agree that people with that much power simply must have some kind of training. If there were a way to register them, employ them, but keep it on the DL (perhaps making their identities Highly Sensitive and Classified information? akin to CIA Identities) then I cannot see why you wouldn't do this.
