Garg, one word comes to mind with you last post……

NICE!

It’s been a long time since I played fortress america, but if I remember correctly,
Fortess america can have too much luck involved due to the order of the reinforment cards for America.

If you get a series of poor cards early or a good card too early (like the laser card), this may overcome any strong strategic moves you may have made.

I guess that’s just a built in characteristic of the game.

@Cmdr:

bump for the new year.

Merry Christmas everyone (or your respective holiday season.)

Thank you.

Not if she was anything like me as a younger girl.

So, you started wearing panties?  Too old to go commando?

Hey, I’m married now.  No need to be seksy anymore!

Poor guy …

There’s more then one Bean book?

To be honest, though, I read a few of the Ender books and really only liked Ender’s Game.  Later Ender’s Shadow came out and that was pretty good.

Hegemony
Speaker for the Dead
etc

Really seemed too long winded.  Dunno.

Anyway, anyone read David Feintuch’s Midshipman’s Hope?  Great book, okay series!

the name was “John Doe”

i too liked it
my fav tho was futurama. shame that didnt make it

@cystic:

At the same time, one could probably get an ob/gyn, a psychiatrist and a statistician together for a retrospective study - even if it’s a simple questionaire. … It could simply analyze feelings, thoughts etc. … Clinical depression is evaluable, as is anxiety, PTSD, and one can measure drug intake if your state/province has a DPIN system. Other out-comes too might be evaluated in terms of 3, 5, and 10 year morbidity, mortality etc. (i do believe some have been done with some equivocal data).

True, with the first. Though the problem with questionaires is that you have to be extremely careful with the wording. I fear that any study on this can very easily be manipulated by the according interest group who launched it. So, you could make a study testing depression etc., but that then must be done to women who have given birth, have aborted, have not been pregnant, and no question should somehow relate to pregancy.
Then, after evaluated for these three different groups, you could start to make some statitics out of that.
But, i fear that the above-mentioned statistics did not pay enough attention to that, something i conclude from the “30% to 60%”, an error i can not accept when having 1000, say “datapoints”.

USA does pays its dues. Maybe not always on time, but does every country in the UN manage to pay on time?
