I see no problem with a forum for discussions within a group that is not open to outsiders. There are plenty of other places for debate, that just isn't one of them.

Reply to A Glimpse into Modern Real-Time Strategy (Part 4) in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

I wish I had been the one researching Supreme Commander and Company of Heroes... I don't think my computer can handle them. It's enough to make me say, "Hey, I think I need a new computer." But as you describe how micromanagerial it seems to be, I don't know if I would even like it. Maybe when games can be controlled by thought I will be able to play them better.

Reply to I am not a Christian. in Religion JoeUser Forums

A Christian cares about what God wants, a non-Christian doesn't. What actions are taken at any specific time is never an issue. But, christian or not, these actions are very poor and hurtful. The hardest place to have a mission field is where there's a dead church.

Reply to Woman Kicked off Plane for Breast-Feeding Her Baby in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Flight attendants give people hard times all the time. One gave my wife a hard time because she wanted her car seat backwards in the seat. Is there a reason it should be the other way? I doubt it. So she made one up...

Reply to Woman Kicked off Plane for Breast-Feeding Her Baby in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I am a religious person, and my wife breastfed on a plane. Worked out well, kept the baby from screaming. I bet she was being completely discreet. But that's beside the point. She has the legal right to breastfeed her baby. If the stewardess has a problem with that, she can go eat her lunch with a blanket over her head. And Delta and Freedom and the stewardess should have to pay out the butt to make up for taking away her right... but more import

I'm pretty sure my wife works just as hard if not harder staying home with my son than I do going to work. Doing good for others, well, we'll work on that.

Reply to Criminalizing Poverty in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Most likely, the ordinance will be passed with some vague notion of a minimum standard of living. The more vague it is, the better it is for you. Laws can be deemed unconstitutional if they are too vague to be enforced or followed properly. The scavenging from dumpsters thing sounds pretty specific, though. But it is very contrary to the policy of recycling and conservation that every other place seems to follow. I don't know if that will

Reply to Too much analysis in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Well, the first psychiatrist was obviously offering the daily greeting that he is accustomed to giving all of his colleagues. This constitutes a conversational transaction worth 1 point. The proper response of the other psychiatrist, saying hello back, would have left both feeling much more at ease, as the conversation would then be an even, 1-1 trade. However, if he had responded with a 'Hello, how are you?' it could have led to a much higher worth

I write these articles more for the referrals... the more insureds who read about how we calculate claims, the more likely they will have a better calculation before it even gets to my desk... less work for me! I need to get my library fines paid off so I can read it again. All my nerdy books were left at my parent's house when "I" "moved out." Actually it was more like "they" "moved away" and "I" "continued to go to college" and was living

I've read the trilogy, Foundation's Edge, Foundation and Earth, Prelude to Foundation, and Forward the Foundation. Took me forever to find Foundation and Earth, though. I own all the mentioned books save Foundation and Earth. Found it at the library. I like Prelude and Forward better for reading, and the trilogy better for learning about sociology.

Reply to JU Writers Club in Writing JoeUser Forums

I got an 100 and a 99 from a teacher that only liked girl writers... so I must've done something really write. Or she thought I was effeminate. I prefer to think it was the first one, especially because it lends itself better to wordplay. I could possibly be in, if I can find time to be on JoeUser.

I love the Foundation Series, and especially psychohistory... maybe that's why I love what I do so much? It's definitely has the same principle, putting two seemingly unrelated sciences together... investigation and accounting, instead of history and mathematics... I'm much better at the numbers side than the investigation side, but I'm hoping that will come in time.

Business Interruption claims for new businesses in Business JoeUser Forums

How do you look at a business interruption claim when there is no historical data to project what would have happened had they stayed open? This can either be extremely simple, or very hard. If the interruption was for a short period of time, the daily records from pre-loss can be used to project what would have happened. However, when such a small amount o

I don't know if I should be the one to tell you this, but the Bible itself comes right out and says that yes, you will remain imperfect. God knows it, you know it, Jesus knows it. That's why Jesus came to Earth, to live the perfect life and sacrifice himself, to make up for our imperfections.
