Who in the tudman administration faked a war so that they could sell weapons, to whom, and to what end.

That's not the topic. The topic is the Croatian river names.

Do you think that criticism is legit?

I'm not sure, What are the P values?

Well, I don't see how we can calculate the p-value. Can we even be reasonably certain that no Proto-Slavic word contained four consecutive syllables with yers? And even if there were no such words, how can we know it was a phonotactic constraint? No native Proto-Germanic words started with 'p', but plenty of loanwords did (which means it wasn't a phonotactic constraint).

And yet, you’ve commented - in this thread - about wars, your education, your parents’ legal troubles, Karl Popper, slaughterhouses, capital punishment, vegetarianism, murder, sesame seeds, heme iron, the nature of evidence, solipsism, Descartes, and cannibalism, NONE of which have anything to do with the topic of this thread.

You’re not only stupid, you’re an opportunistic hypocrite as well.

Have you attempted to use P-Values to calculate the P-Values?

Oh shut the fuck up.  The very first post in this thread, your post, ends with this question.


Quote:If I am right about the river names, that suggests I am probably also right about Croatian toponyms suggesting that the Croatian War of Independence didn't happen, right?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
