"Whether a parent has a gun is NOT a medical question." Not the Question asked. The question asked is are there guns in the house. If every gun in every house was known to parents that would be great. Unfortunately parents house often house adult offspring who struggle to make it on their own. A larger and larger percentage single 20 somethings live at home or have moved back in in order to survive with a meager income and try to set their lives up for success. What i

"You have NO IDEA how much prejudice homeschooling parents still face in this country, Dan, because you aren't there. If you want to have an idea how many false reports are filed with CPS every year, all you have to do is a little research. You can start with the sidebar on my blog; I've already done the homework for you, basically."

"Several things, Dan. For one, I do not automatically buy the government's lie that everything they say is "good for you"." That makes two of us and in fact that goes double for the media. I didn't make the statement or allude to an everything is good for you attitude by the governent either. I do understand there to be very serious including lethal risks in not vaccinating children. I would expect that a child in school would be very likely to acquire something in their years

I'm curious as to why you would choose to not vaccinate your children with the seriousness of the risks associated with that condition and the vastly increased chance of contracting illness. I mean it is your decision, but what exactly drove you to reach that decision as the correct one?

"We homeschool, we do not vaccinate, and my wife nurses our children (YES, nursing children is an issue with some doctors...we seriously had a doctor report us for neglect because my wife still nursed our then 16 month old at naptimes and bedtimes!). All of those positions, I might add, are legal, and protected." Fair enough, I agree. Your children are your responsibility and privilege. While not vaccinating your kids, is probably more dangerous then vaccinating them it is again your ch

"You're right on this point, Dan. But children are raised to see adults as authority figures and are unlikely to refuse to answer or lie." Teenagers have to be equipped with the skills to say no if they don't want to say yes. If they aren't that's your failing as a parent. I'm talking about 13-19 year olds here not 5-12 year olds. You can't tell me that a teenager who doesn't want to answer a question is incapable of doing it. "Yes, Dan, you can find another doctor."

"Then that comes down to is, it isn't the "doctors" decision to ask "any" more questions about it. Once a child has stated they're being abused, it's out of the doctors hands. He is "required" by law to turn the question/answer period over to law enforcement. As a matter of fact, him asking questions the wrong way could/would jepordize the entire investigation. So like I said the "doctor" should not be asking that question at all." Are you a doctor Dr.Miller or do you just play on on th

"Personally I think DA is worth about 7/10. This equates to a good product." Agree. But since I haven't played it yet, my review is worthless.

"That's what everyone in the industry wants you to think. Release the game unfinished, it'll be patched later. Just because *everyone* does it nowadays, doesn't mean it's correct." ABSOFRICKENLUTELY! Not like some of these "improvements" couldn't have been patched into the original game, but hey can't make a buck doing that.

"I don't agree that this adds a whole lot of variety to the game. You can already make a lot of bombardment decisions when invading a planet, and that's a handful of decisions right there. It's not supposed to zoom to Civ when you're planetside. It's a Galactic game. There is no choice to be urban or rural, or bliztkrieg or not. Even in reality, the range of decisions is often one or two or one of several, not nearly as much as the game already offers now. The main thing that players no

Reply to Top 10 problems with AI in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I'm glad somebody finally agrees that the AI isn't the cat meow that it could be. It certainly isn't a skilled human player. Unfortunately I don't see real drastic improvements occurring in the near term but I could be wrong. What would be nice would be a multiplayer option, so you could at least struggle with some human companionship. Play at a level beyond the AI. Maybe that'll eventually happen one day too.

"And just how would the doctor know "if" the parent was threatening gun violence to the child?" Maybe if a child states that there is abuse in the home. Just a guess.

"So... if a doctor knows a kid is threatened with gun violence... he should ask if the parents own guns. Odd sort of logic, there. One would assume once he knows a child is threatened with gun violence the question would be redundant. If he doesn't, then he's fishing. In that light, why not teachers? Why not just have the government come in and inspect. Do we investigate crimes when there is no evidence of a crime?" If a parent is threatening his or her children with gun violen

"This game seems unfinished, a starting point to keep adding new features, at the expense of consecutive "expansion packs". That's not good." I disagree, I think it's great, I just want those expansion paks coming out ever 2 or 3 months instead of once a year/every 8 or 9 months. Oh well. "Name a single expansion that threw in a massive number of features, i.e. was creative, without screwing up balance, A.I., introduced a massive number of bugs, etc. And don't hit me with the

"Umm, I've met a few people who were militant and antigun, Dan. They use the GOVERNMENT'S guns, rather than their own, to enforce their militancy." Is it a crime to own a gun? If the crime is you don't have your gun registered in your house then that's on you. Just because you have a gun in your house doesn't mean you have committed a crime, law enforcement won't bother themselves with you unless they can establish "elements of a crime" Explain you haven't crossed over the edge

"In 2004 there were 105 kids under 18 died in accidental gun shootings. In that same year 55 died of adverse medical reactions. If 105 deaths is enough to make our medical professionals spy on our private homes, then those same professionals should be held to the same scrutiny for the danger they pose to our kids." Just like in Iraq when 3000 soldiers die but 25,000 are maimed by injuries that aren't lethal, how many of the kids who get injured because of guns do not die as a result of

"To be perfectly honest, asteroids, planet environments, custom player creation, they should all have been introduced in the base game, not in an expansion pack." AGREE! As for the best expansion being the "10" to which all other expansions should compare to, that's about the most absurd opinion I've heard on the subject." Further Agree. 10/10, 5/5 should be reserved for expansions where everything asked for and clearly missing, within reason, from the game should be a

I'm not responding to anything you write Paladin but you are free to make your own case. One thing I will add to my point is that if you further go back in time, 100,000 years, the average temperature would on Earth would be -1000, which is below absolute zero. Obviously by plenty of indications the Earth has been in existence for more then 100,000 years, so either it's not linear or it's not right. If it's not linear then why would the sun all of a sudden over the course of 5
