BH Liddell Hart

Anyone read him? His Strategy is a very good read and makes a lot of sense. I know people like Mearsheimer loathe him, but I think he has a lot to say, especially about having limited objectives, that can inform today's defense policies. I'd put him right up there with Jomini's Summary of the Art of War.

Why is King James' God So "Familiar" When He's...Not?

As I've said, I'm reading my way through the KJ Bible (KJ because you can't fully hope to ever be a Man of Letters like I hope to be someday without reading the Bible, like it or not, and the KJ version has had the biggest impact on English Literature) and it struck me partway through "Exodus"--OT, almighty, intimidating God speaks using "thou," but that'd be the INFORMAL version grammatically in James'/Shakespeare's day...but the OT God is anything BUT familiar and informal...?

So Help Me God...Naw--So Help Me WebDip Physicists, What's Higgs-Boson About?

Leaving that "God Particle" title alone--and if anyone brings God into THIS thread...shame on you, we have a debate coming up, for once, let's have a discussion sans the rhetoric, eh?--can any of our brilliant scientists here explain this? I've heard of it, and apparently it's important, but...what's it all mean, this particle...why would it hep give proof of...things? (Note my very technical jargon there.) ;)

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

drat! This probably means Leonidas takes my fifth position... wonder when Gemrany will solo the last one

achillies27 (100 )

Yeah, I am waiting.

achillies27 (100 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

I think i finally took my rightful second place spot back!

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

and if you are Germany in number 2 you could win this!

and why didn't you put me out of my English misery? Just curious

achillies27 (100 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

I didnt have time, I would have gotten around to it eventually... I Just was fighting on all fronts and it takes too many units to kill and englishman.

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

seemed to have enough fleets to scare the heck out of me :p. I was shifting my units to block you for years and years :p. Italy in the north atlantic scared me, doesn't ANYONE have any understanding that ENgland controls the seas :p

Fortress Door (1837 )

YES! I AM STILL AHEAD OF LEO! *fistpump*

and the Czech has won, congrats!

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

though Leo just might take my spot... i am NOT doing well in the only game left

Leonidas (635 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

Last game waiting on one player to finalize.... Despite my miserable play it's been good fun, I'm in on the next one with any of you guys, except my only conquest in the current standings, i hope all is well with him, I like to think most people who Cd (especially in tourneys) do so for reasons out of their control, I sometimes wonder how I myself find the time...

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

oh the intensity! Will Germany solo? Find out next time!

and Leo, you did MUCH better than me :p. I only won because i had good neighbors in the full press game (coughthecdhelpedcough). I failed epicly on the gunboats

and i don't think the cd'er has been online at all since he cd'ed, so i would like to say it was not his fault

NigeeBaby (100 )

4th result in ........ and The Czech has almost cashed in

League Table:
The Czech 40 - 1/3F - 1/100F
achillies27 28 - 5/4F - 5/1 - 25/1
NigeeBaby 24
Kremen 15
Fortress Door 14
Leonidas 10
CDboy Patriot 5
I took a right pasting from Germany in Game 1 ..... schoolboy errors !!
There is an outside chance that in the last game achillies has won and The Czech gets zero making achillies the winner, but I wouldn't bet on that. I'm hoping to keep 3rd spot, in your face everyone below me :-)
Now we need a stewards enquiry after the race, what happened out there, were friendships gained or lost, were reputations built or destroyed. Can we learn anything from what The Czech did that will give us the edge next time around.
With one game to go thanks very much guys, good fun & good games. Shame about CDBoy, what a loser !!

I was Italy in all 3 gunboats. What a sucky thing!

Leonidas (635 )

All done...
Cz-45

Kr-15

Sorry Nbaby

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

CURSE YOU LEO! I am so sad... :(.

I think Italy is much better in gunboats than in full press, since Austria always gets jumped in gunboats

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

i get sixth :(. All i needed was my last center to tie with Kremen.

Leonidas (635 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

Any chance of 20 bonus points for the only tourney solo?? lol

NigeeBaby (100 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!

NigeeBaby (100 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

He was Italy in 3 gunboats and still slapped our bums ...... there is no justice !!
Also I had 3rd place cruelly ripped from me......... I've marked his card, next time !!
Cheers guys, many thanks :-)

Fortress Door (1837 )
05 Jul 12 UTC

maybe the mods should give the Czech an extra 100

for winning :D. Total domination

Leonidas (635 )

Ok, i'm keen for a good live gunboat, anyone here want in? Start in about an hour...

Which subjects are sacred?

Zmaj raised an interesting point. We can slander and insult and wrestle and mock politics and religion without end, but as soon as someone starts in on personal histories and former cheating cases, it becomes very hush hush and people start tiptoeing around. Not that I disagree necessarily, but what makes personal history and former cheating cases et al. more taboo than politics and religion, the latter of which is supposedly deeply personal?
