Thanks, lorg and Jong. I scored another one as well, so I'll pass these on to Scamp and DarkMage.

Thorn, ask your husband!

I'd send my youngest, because she wouldn't understand what was going on, and wouldn't suffer so much from survivor guilt.

Some of the parents in the Russia+school+hostages situation were allowed to leave, taking just one child with them.

'twas in the article.

Go SETI@home! Anyone here a part of that?

I'm probably too slow here, but if there are any left, I'd love one. It's gotta be better than hotmail. kadjari at hotmail dot com Thanks.

Amber just needs some Bandaids.

Sounds fun. I'd come, but I have a wedding to go to. And, oh yeah, I'm 10,000 miles away.

Speed actually already pulled Sticks clear of the fighting.

I just used the dice roller to roll 10 dice, so I don't know which are skill, and which are CP, sorry.

Glad he's dead, though.

Mmmm, candy corn.

Just because, huh? OK, that seems like a good reason.

I read it the same as Cain, because the table on p.123 specifically says to apply the reach bonus once, but it doesn't say that for the friends in melee bonus. Seems really harsh, but martial-artsy types tell me that multiple opponents are bad news.

If emphysema in your 50s is your idea of a good time, then go for it.

Coupla questions, Paul.

Did Amber use all her combat pool trying to slide away from the knife? (I sort of hope so)

I think she still has her pistol in hand, is that OK?

Are you going to post a result for Chopper's attack before Amber goes?

crone

Hope everyone is having a good time, and the babies are behaving. Wish I was there - someone smooch them for me.

I used to think $1 million dolllars would be 'rich beyond the dreams of avarice'. Reckon I could spend it pretty quick, now.

I'd be interested to know the arguments for the specific ban of assault rifles though. yes, they aren't for knocking over liquor stores. But in a Waco like situation I'm sure they're extremely handy. Perhaps it was exactly to keep it away from militias, wackos and terrorists, people who would actua...

Doesn't Chopper have 3 net successes?

Cain wrote:(Remember, the BMI is being equally applied to children as well as adults.)

I would like to see BMI graphs for children. I've only seen ones that will tell what percentile a kid's weight is in, compared to other kids of their height and age. Know where to find one?

Indonesia, and Oman are two that spring quickly to mind of how an insurgent force was destroyed by western militaries. Well, western guided militaries. Indonesia?

I feel like I'm missing something here. Is this a call for more books to be translated into Arabic, less support to be given to dictatorial regimes, aid to be given to Arabic universities, reform groups etc ? Or is it Muslim countires are backwards and stupid and therefore... something. This article...

If Ghotty wakes up tomorrow and shoves 200 women through a meat processor, I will be very, very happy. Why will you be happy? I could understand if you didn't care, but why would you be happy?

Ghotty, some might like the idea of rough sex, but not the reality. Or they might like it less rough than you do. Because of the nature of the game, you have to be very careful about setting it up. If you're looking for advice on how to do that, then you've gotten some here. The part where you seem ...

That's convenient. "She's a lesbian, so she'll be uncomplicated to hang with, and he's gay, so I know exactly how I feel about him, and later this afternoon I might pay a visit to the bisexuals in the zoo." Lucky people only come in three types and you can know everything about them just b...

The fact that our decisions are predictable based on who or what we are is totally unremarkable. It's not, "Wow, an epiphany! We don't have free will vis a vis ourselves." Of course we don't. That's never what free will was supposed to mean. I don't understand. What do we have free will i...

There is Juan Cole . He does media appearances sometimes. Abbas Kadhim has a site as well. I think even the experts don't know as much as they think they do.

If the universe works the way you said it does, we don't have free will. Adding an observer God doesn't change anything. Sure we do. We still have a will.

Amber has an action but she's not doing anything very exciting with it. I'll put a post up, though.

Question for the group: should I bring a blacksmith if she is a self-obsessed drama queen who would drive everyone batty?

I'll bring treadle sewing machine, some permaculture, and chemical-free gardening books, and lots of good quality polar fleece. Still thinking about the rest.

Thanks for asking for clarification, 32. I will try to say what I mean really clearly, but I have so many thoughts on the issue that it will probably end up a mess. Actions have consequences, yes. That is not some kind of shorthand for good discipline. If you steal something and don't get caught, on...

I didn't say "do wrong-> get punished" was completely without merit. It is not in any way equivalent to "Actions have consequences". The really important thing about a stop sign IMO, is that it lets you know the intersection ahead requires care, that you need to STOP, to assess i...
