Obama talks out of both sides of his mouth
freethefly replied to CanuckInUSA's topic in Speakers Corner
And, there is no ham in a hamburger! Call the press!!!!! This is just disrespectful to hogs and not giving cows credit where credit is due. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young -
Number 2 is really weird. I was born in '60 and I am 51yo = 111 http://www.hell2u.com/ We like to think that strange things only happen here in Hell, Michigan, but this year we are not alone. We should mention some mystifying coincidences of 2011. Three milestones will happen this year whether you are in Hell or not, all having to do with numbers. 1. First – This year we’re going to experience four unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 – but that’s not all… 2. Another number phenomenon this year: Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born. Now add the age you will be this year, and the result will be 111 for everyone! 3. And, a final freaky numbers occurrence: This year, October will have 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays and 5 Saturdays. This happens only once every 823 years. Tell your friends and family about the strange events you heard about in Hell and keep the numbers rolling! Let us know if you hear of any other oddities about this year.

You'll enjoy Hell. I've been there several times. Very cool place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. The winters are Hell. Summer is the best time to go to Hell. Plenty of lakes around Hell if you enjoy fishing or swimming as it does get hot as Hell in Hell. The local people are very friendly and want you to have a Hell of a great time, when in Hell. Hell is very family friendly and they do not care if you're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Atheist, or even Agnostic! Hell is like Heaven on earth! Hell, Michigan, that is. They even have a great sense of humor. You'd have to , if you lived in Hell. http://www.hell2u.com/ It really is a cool town to visit.

I wonder how much time he had left on his enlistment? Hell, if he really wanted out, all he had to do is just smoke a joint and take a piss. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

As I understand it, the State can ban cross burning. http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/95-815.pdf In 1992, in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul, the Supreme Court struck down an ordinance that prohibited the placing on public or private property of a symbol, such as “a burning cross or Nazi swastika, which one knows or has reasonable grounds to know arouses anger, alarm or resentment in others, on the basis of race, color, creed, religion or gender.”140 Read literally, this ordinance would clearly violate the First Amendment, because, “f there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the Government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable.”141 In this case, however, the Minnesota Supreme Court had construed the ordinance to apply only to conduct that amounted to fighting words. Therefore, the question for the Supreme Court was whether the ordinance, construed to apply only to fighting words, was constitutional. The Court held that it was not, because, although fighting words may be proscribed “because of their constitutionally proscribable content,” they may not “be made the vehicles for content discrimination unrelated to their distinctively proscribable content.”142 Thus, the government may proscribe fighting words, but it may not make the further content discrimination of proscribing particular fighting words on the basis of hostility “towards the underlying message expressed.”143 In this case, the ordinance banned fighting words that insult “on the basis of race, color, creed, religion or gender,” but not “for example, on the basis of political affiliation, union membership, or homosexuality.... The First Amendment does not permit St. Paul to impose special prohibitions on those speakers who express views on disfavored subjects.”144 This decision does not, of course, preclude prosecution for illegal conduct that may accompany cross burning, such as trespass, arson, or threats. As the Court put it: “St. Paul has sufficient means at its disposal to prevent such behavior without adding the First Amendment to the fire.”145 In a subsequent case, the Supreme Court held that its opinion in R.A.V. did not mean that statutes that impose additional penalties for crimes that are motivated by racial hatred are unconstitutional. Such statutes imposed enhanced sentences not for bigoted thought, but for the commission of crimes that can inflict greater and individual and societal harm because of their bias-inspired motivation. A defendant’s motive has always been a factor in sentencing, and even in defining crimes; “Title VII [of the Civil Rights Act of 1964], for example, makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee ‘because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.’”146 In Virginia v. Black, the Court held that its opinion in R.A.V. did not make it unconstitutional for a state to prohibit burning a cross with the intent of intimidating any person or group of persons.147 "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

We should rally against that pesky law that requires doctors to treat people who do not have healthcare. While we're at it, let's do away with that pesky auto insurance, also. Hell, I've never had to use it. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Had the preacher not burned their book, there is a real possibility that the riot may not had occurred. Not picking politically easy target. Jones cast himself into the line of fire when he decided to enrage what he knew to be an enrage-able situation. He knew his action would have a domino effect. Your beer analogy is silly. Now had the beer distributor personally got the man drunk with the intent to put him behind the steering wheel of a car, knowing that by doing so may cause injury or death. Then, yes I do feel that the distributor should be held responsible. If you do something that you know will cause harm and/or death, that is negligence.

Maybe, you are fine with the KKK having nightly cross burnings? I suppose who are fine with the American Nazi Party passing out literature calling for the extermination of Jews. I take it that you find it acceptable for radical Muslims, right here in the U.S.A. to preach hate? Do you consider the Westboro Church to be champions of free speech. When the intent of speech is to cause injury or death, there are limits. I suppose that you would have a problem with peaceful Muslims placing billboards across America with passages from the Koran. How about one right outside your door, so that you see it everyday? Jone's intent was to incite. There is no other reason for him to do what he did. I am against speech and action that is designed to cause harm and/or death, regardless of ones race, creed, or religion. Just wondering, what branch of the service did/do you serve in?

Show me where I have defended this so-called message. You know damn well that Islamic law will never be forced upon us. Your argument is pointless. I am all for our 1st amendment, but at some some point I believe that the harm principle of hate speech should apply when lives are at stake. Sounding like a true radical American.

The surprising truth about what motivates us

Certain factions of Islam has vowed to kill Americans. Throwing fuel on a fire has never helped to put out the flame. It is quite simple, he knew that his action would cause a rippling effect across certain areas in the world, and he did it with no concern for the safety of others.

Following that logic, Charlie Manson did not commit murder. He was nowhere near the Tate estate. Maybe, Hitler isn't responsible for the Holocaust. Did he personally round up the Jews and gas them? As far as I know, he was nowhere near the Warsaw Ghetto or Auschwitz. Jones damn well knew that his action would cause an unwelcome effect. The butterfly effect comes into play here. Would you feel differently if the dead were all American soldiers? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

How right you are. The ship I was on returned to the Gulf in 1981 and was there for several months. During that time night flight ops went on near every night. Fully loaded aircraft left and then return lite... ??? It doesn't take a genius to figure out what we were doing there. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/ Former Reagan administration National Security Council staff member Howard Teicher says that after Ronald Reagan signed a national security decision directive calling for the U.S. to do whatever was necessary to prevent Iraq's defeat in the Iran-Iraq war, Director of Central Intelligence William Casey personally led efforts to ensure that Iraq had sufficient weapons, including cluster bombs, and that the U.S. provided Iraq with financial credits, intelligence, and strategic military advice. The CIA also provided Iraq, through third parties that included Israel and Egypt, with military hardware compatible with its Soviet-origin weaponry.

I don't know and I don't care what they do... I don't have a problem with science as long as it doesn't require faith. My faith does not rely on Scientific observations...haven't you listened to what we've been saying? Does anybody here do anything other than look for reasons to flame the same way yall do with scripture? I have been reading the thread and do understand your p.o.v.. However, I was not flaming you. I do think my question is reasonable. The church tends to slowly backtrack from evidence against its beliefs. How far can the church back up if and when (I'm betting on when) the origin of our universe is discovered?

the stars are, and continue to be, exactly as old as they are it's just the observation itself that's outdated Can you identify in which direction to look?

Eventually humankind will be able to observe the instant our universe was created, as optics and imaging software evolve. You do realize that the stars that you observe in our sky are stars at an earlier point in their lives than present? It is only a matter of time until we will be able to see the origin of our universe. When that happens, how will religion deal with it?

They're not the only ones to report this. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=645&q=2%2F3rd+u.s.+companies+do+not+pay+taxes&btnG=Google+Search This is nothing new. Ingersol Rand has been doing it for years. I think it is shameful that many of these companies call themselves an "American Company" while employing few Americans and paying little to no taxes on their fortunes. All the while, enjoying the protection that the U.S. offers. Socialism, corporate style. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

How people interpret and apply God to their lives is a different topic. I'm sorry if that was your experience. Do you fear going to "Hell"? My experience was the same as many young children who went to Sunday school. In my case, it was Baptist Sunday school. Many are taught of a god starting with their parents. Just believing in a god requires a level of fear. Go against your "God" and you pay the price of his wrath! Tell me, where is there not fear in the faith that a "God" exist? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

The notion of a god is not "instinct" as you imply. Instinct is instilled in the sub-conscious mind and arises to a specific stimuli. Where-as the notion of a god is a conditioning process used by an authoritative figure/body to instill fear (Do as God says, or burn in Hell.) One cannot fear what has not been learned, be it right or wrong. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Actually, I said no such thing in my reply. As for your statement, I'll answer as if it were a question. Science produces models in which to base predictions upon. This is done daily, throughout the world. The weather reports are an example of predicting the future. They are not asking some mystical entity for an answer to what's to come, but rely on science to base their predictions upon. True to science, even the weather report is not an absolute, but an experiment left open to variation, as well as peer review. Boiling point is dependent on atmospheric pressure. 212F is not an absolute. Again, science is not faith nor is it even fact. There is nothing created by man nor nature that is 100% reliable. If you are capable of doing so, cast away your faith for a few minutes and view the universe with a purely scientific outlook. The possibilities of what may exist are infinite. Do you take faith with you when you skydive? If so, why practice EP's? As I said, faith is a fool's crutch which supports nothing. One can not base a given outcome upon faith. Outcomes are based upon models of the past which also reveal variations that may or may not arise in the future. All that we create is born through the process of trial and error. In essence, science is the process of trial and error. Elmer Sperry did not develop the NDT process of induction flaw detection overnight. It took a number of years to find what worked and what did not. The NDT processes that are used today are in a constant state of change as is any process. Science demands that we march into the future while reshaping our process for doing so. Faith demands that we close our eyes and hope for the best.
