i still have yet to see even a flying carpet that can breathe fire, throw people around and talk like Sean Connery.
i need a shower, a shave and maybe a song with a melody

um, you can control flying carpets and sing while doing it. Dragons do whatever the fuck they want.

exactly. also, dragons have a heartbeat which means they can be killed by the AR-15 i'll be carrying while floating by effortlessly on my magic fucking carpet.

dragons respond to singing and if you have to carry a weapon on a "magic" carpet why is it so magic? dragons are the weapon.

because magic carpets use non-violent, pacifist tactics. the person aboard can do anything they want.

dragons have wings and can fly, no magic there. but carpets? shit. dragons don't stand a chance.

Good luck getting through those scales. How armored is the carpet? Rather exposed, don't you think? Especially to fire.

The only magic is that it can fly. Dragons do that naturally, so they don't even need to rely on magic.

you don't "rely" on magic. it's either there or it's not. you can't injure carpet--the best you can hope is to put a few holes in it or singe some of the fabric; that might be difficult due to the magic.

the fact that dragons breathe fire and fly naturally is a weakness because they must adhere to the properties of our world. magic carpets have no limits.

Dragons are often held to have major spiritual significance in various religions and cultures around the world. In many Eastern cultures dragons were, and in some cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature, religion and the universe. They are associated with wisdom—often said to be wiser than humans—and longevity. They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power, and are often associated with wells, rain, and rivers. In some cultures, they are also said to be capable of human speech.
I guess dragons are magical too.

But can your carpet talk???

using religious myths to prove the dragon's prowess doesn't provide a very firm base for your argument--it provides less of one.

dragons can die, magic carpets can't. what's the argument?

magic carpets are from religion not dragons. dragons ate christians before the crusades. most europeon crusaders were dragon hunters.

i'm not debating which is cooler. im saying, if i was on a magic carpet with an AR-15 and you were on a dragon, you would be shot out of the sky and your dragon would no longer be living. that's all.
