Threat by British to quit EU could prove beneficial for Ireland
A satisfactory deal for Britain would help us, but an EU exit by them would be disastrous
Published 20/07/2014 | 02:30
The possibility of 'Brexit' - British exit from the EU - notched up a little during the week with the appointment of the rather Eurosceptic Philip Hammond as foreign secretary. Mr Hammond is on the record to the effect that he supports UK exit under the current terms of membership.
The fundamental in or out calculus remains unaltered, however: unless the Conservatives win the election, fixed for May 7, 2015, there will probably be no EU referendum, since the Labour Party, slightly ahead in the polls, has made no commitment to having one. They could change their minds, of course, but the pundits reckon they will not. According to the bookmakers, the most likely outcome is that no party will have an overall majority and both Labour and the Tories are (short) odds against.
Whether a referendum is held - and what way it might go - are matters of great importance for Ireland, but beyond any influence from this country. The British will either stay through denying a majority to the pro-referendum forces next year; vote to stay at a referendum; or negotiate departure after an 'out' decision in 2017. David Cameron is likely to recommend staying in - if improved terms of UK membership can be negotiated - but there is no clarity at this stage as to what modifications of membership terms will be sought. What is sought may not be granted.
Any change in terms involving a new treaty or major treaty revisions will be contentious and would require a lengthy European convention and unanimous consent from all member countries. Unless some serious concessions to UK demands are forthcoming, there is every chance that the decision in 2017 could be for exit.
The process of negotiating these altered terms will not begin in earnest until after next May's election, and, if the Tories lose it may not happen at all. But there will be pressure on the Conservative Party to flesh out a negotiating position before the election.
Changes to some parts of the EU rulebook might not be unwelcome in this country; just about every EU member has concerns about a particular aspect of current arrangements. The trouble is that Ireland's principal concerns are quite different from those of the UK and are not likely to feature on the UK's shopping list, whenever it appears.
The main UK issues are likely to include financial contributions, waste in the EU budget, reform of the common agricultural (including fisheries) policy, labour mobility and immigration, including transferability of social welfare entitlements, as well as what is seen as excessive intrusion by EU regulatory and judicial bodies. Most of these are not live issues in Ireland, whose immediate priority should be a reconstruction of the ill-designed common currency into a proper monetary union.
There are also legitimate grievances arising from the bail-in of Irish taxpayers to rescue foreign lenders to bust Irish banks. The British, to their undisguised glee, stayed out of the eurozone, so do not share any of this agenda. They have had no voice in the process of eurozone redesign and cannot realistically seek any.
There is thus little apparent upside to British exit from an Irish perspective. If the referendum in 2017 sees Britain depart, that would be a serious blow to the broader European project but a particularly troublesome development for Ireland, which has never been in membership without the UK and did not seek to join the then Common Market until the UK did so.
A British exit could destabilise the European Union, in the sense that some of the existing members - particularly those outside the eurozone - are not 100pc happy with the way things are going and have seen increased support for Eurosceptic political parties. Concessions designed to keep Britain on board could encourage quite different demands from others. Should those concessions be denied, a UK exit might not be the last. Britain is the only EU member where the issue of EU exit is firmly on the current political agenda, but should that eventuality actually materialise, Eurosceptic forces in other countries will acquire extra momentum. It is pretty difficult for a country to leave the eurozone. Leaving the EU is more straightforward and a procedure is laid out in the Lisbon Treaty.
It is difficult to make an economic case for an Irish exit from the EU itself. But it may be possible that the prospect of a British exit can somehow be leveraged to enhance Ireland's pursuit of its own agenda with Europe. The difficulty is that any post-2017 negotiations with the UK - should there be a vote for exit - will not revolve around the issues that currently most concern Ireland. There are two critical changes that would make a difference. The first is the excess costs of bank rescue imposed on Ireland by the ECB, to the benefit ultimately of foreign unsecured creditors of bust banks. The eurozone rescue fund will not, on current indications, assist with retrospective re-capitalisation. If the fund were to be mobilised to assist future bank busts elsewhere in the eurozone - as is contemplated - it is even possible that Ireland would be expected to contribute numerous billions to the fund, having been denied access itself.
There is every likelihood of further bank busts at some stage. For an Irish government to place further debt on the state balance sheet for fresh bank rescues in continental Europe would be an explosive political issue, as indeed it would be for any other government faced with such a prospect.
It will make people think about joining the British in heading for the exit. The Government should not be shy about drawing this political reality to the attention of European partners.
The second desirable change from an Irish perspective is the completion of a proper banking union, resisted thus far by Germany, and the conduct of a coherent overall macroeconomic policy for the eurozone. While these issues will play out independently of the 'Brexit' threat, the opportunity needs to be taken soon to draw attention to the particular concerns that arise in Ireland. A British exit would create special problems here, more serious than for any other member state.
For example, Ireland and the United Kingdom have always had free movement across the border and through sea and airports without passport checks and no restrictions on labour mobility. The land frontier would become the external border of the EU should the British leave. Without special arrangements, there could be a costly and divisive re-partition of Ireland. It is also the case that various reciprocal deals pre-dating Common Market entry in 1973 could be threatened, as could the position of offshore financial services here. Once the UK's negotiations with the European Commission get going, should there be a vote for exit in 2017, Ireland should insist on a special status in that process.
Since the best outcome from an Irish standpoint would be for Britain to secure a satisfactory deal, enhancing the prospects for a 2017 vote to remain in the EU, the Irish authorities should support any reasonable British demand. The UK has been a consistent opponent of waste in the EU budget, including the expensive bi-location of the European Parliament and the proliferation of useless quangos.
There is no important Irish interest at stake in supporting the British efforts to eliminate waste in these areas. This support should extend to British efforts that would involve treaty change, since fundamental reform of the common currency project - a vital Irish interest - looks as if it will continue to stall until treaty change is contemplated.

"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
This ain't comics, but it's certainly cool. Artist Jemma Salume (whom we've previously blogged about) recently began doing some excellent animal art — poses of animals that are one part model studies, but also excellent finished illustrations on their own. You can see some of them below, and even more on her DeviantArt gallery, and buy prints at Society6.
Salume recently contributed covers to to two Adventure Time books: Adventure Time #17 and Candy Capers #2. I'm hoping we'll see Salume more in comics soon, but until then you can always buy her minicomic series Captain Kitten direct from the artist.
Nice work! The three different images of the same animal are symbolizing the three different states, offering a variety of interpretations. You rightly said this isn't comic but more than it.

"A religious fundamentalist, a political operative, a primitive sermonizer, and an accomplice of worldly secular powers. Her mission has always been of this kind. The irony is that she has never been able to induce anybody to believe her. It is past time that she was duly honored and taken at her word." Among his many books, perhaps none have sparked more outrage than The Missionary Position, Christopher Hitchens's meticulous study of the life and deeds of Mother Teresa.
A Nobel Peace Prize recipient beatified by the Catholic Church in 2003, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was celebrated by heads of state and adored by millions for her work on behalf of the poor. In his measured critique, Hitchens asks only that Mother Teresa's reputation be judged by her actions-not the other way around.
With characteristic élan and rhetorical dexterity, Hitchens eviscerates the fawning cult of Teresa, recasting the Albanian missionary as a spurious, despotic, and megalomaniacal operative of the wealthy who long opposed measures to end poverty, and fraternized, for financial gain, with tyrants and white-collar criminals throughout the world.
©1995 Christopher Hitchens (P)2012 Audible Ltd
"Succinct and amazing."
Good narration of a book that blew my exCatholic mind. I was indoctrinated with the Mother Theresa cult as a kid, wish I had of known all this then.
"It's Hitch"
evidence drawn from multiple resources.
Well researched and written. Reading was fine. Hitch, I miss you.
Trying to support 1) the comparably smaller non-fiction selection and 2) the few here that are not misinformation. Got mind? Use it.
"Well, it's Hitchens, you can expect sharp wit"
If you can't get Christopher Hitchens to narrate his own books (like he did with his memoir "Hitch-22"), then the next best option is Simon Prebble. The style just matches perfectly, and this coming from someone who is not used to listening to British ascents.
Didn't Hitchens consider naming this book "Sacred Cow"?
Eloquent and biting; great polemic to accompany Hitchen's more-overall critiques of mass religion ("The Portable Atheist", "god is not Great"). Do consider watching the online videos of Hitchens debating (or destroying?) religious supporters.
Also, this format of critiquing a public figure is similar to his other short polemics: "The Trial of Henry Kissinger" and "No One Left to Lie To" (on those neocon Clintons). While I find his Iraq positions more debatable, these 3 polemics offer little room for debate but plenty of room for enjoyment.
"Illuminating (with a not so saintly light)"
A brilliant revelation of a bizarre life, and the even more odd strivings of the Catholic church and the deluded to make her a saint, despite all evidence.
"Very interesting book"
Everyone who is interested in Mother Teresa should read this book. A lot of daylight information on her work.
"Welcome to reality"
I would implore anyone who at all wonders or questions to investigate the world of Mother Teresa. Just as Gandhi put his wife's life into the lap of the gods but took quinine himself when six weeks later he got malaria.
Once you open this door then further investigation will reveal much more of her belief in pain and suffering
at a 1981 press conference in which she was asked: "Do you teach the poor to endure their lot?" She replied: "I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people"
"Who'd have thought it?"
I've always been slightly nauseated by the media 'deification' of Mother Teresa. Now I know why!
"Informative and thought provoking"
Based on facts and written clearly. It sheds light on things in a common sense and unsentimental manner.
"A real Revelation"
Hitch again delivers a stunningly eye opening myth busting assassination of an agent of the Catholic Church who is just slightly farther away from Godliness than the Morningstar.
Listen and be astounded by the hypocrisy.
Great stuff

So I called the phone number on the statement and talked to John. He said that he was just a credit card processing company and that he wasn't doing business anymore with whom ever had charged my account.
When I pressed him for information on who that company might be he said that he didn't know, but that my bank would know. That was all. He didn't offer to look into the matter or refund my money.
I called my bank and they immediately cancelled my card. I filled out a report for the bank and my bank wants me to fill out a police report. We'll see what happens.

Metagaming is using information that your character couldn't possibly know that you found out outsideas the game. The most common kind is the the dm mention something outside and you try to use it
#57 - sketchE (01/20/2015) [-]
my personal style is to give them the information outright, tell them in character and out of character knowledge and whip out the purple dildo spear every time they try to use it. you know this enemies weak point. well the enemy focuses you and not the normal priority targets the moment your character acts like they know something without seeing it. i forgot to hide one of my traps in roll 20, when the characters avoid it with no reason to a new trap shows up. basicly be unpredictable and change things. the dm has the final say in everything

That works a bit. Though I'd be scared if you were ever my DM. I use a bunch of information from stuff my character has never seen. I play a rogue who has a shit load of disguise and bluff, as well as fairly high diplomacy. So I never really have to see things to know what's going on.

Katy Perry: Selfies Are a "Disease"
Fans, next time you see Katy Perry, you might want to think twice about taking out your cellphone and trying to grab a selfie with the pop superstar.
Fans, next time you see Katy Perry, you might want to think twice about taking out your cellphone and trying to grab a selfie with the pop superstar.
Warning: You will want to nom all of the incredible-looking confections in Katy Perry's lyric video for her song 'Birthday.' Just letting you know in advance.
Katy Perry didn't attend the 2014 Kids' Choice Awards this year, but she did hint that she planned to dye her hair slime green, which is the show's signature prank and color. She wasn't kidding. The singer has gone green, and the hair hue is perfect for spring.
In an interview with Australian radio station SAFM, Katy Perry was asked the inevitable question about her "competition" with Lady Gaga for pop chart dominance, since the two singers, while markedly different in style and sound, dropped singles and albums around the same time last year.
Katy Perry really is a do-gooder! The singer must be trying to earn sainthood, since she reportedly gifted her team of assistants with electric cars.
When Lorde called in to Australia's 'Kyle & Jackie O. Show' last week, she did more than just craft the perfect retort to the hosts' implication that she was in a lesbian relationship with Taylor Swift. The 'Royals' phenomenon also revealed why she turned down the opportunity to open for Katy Perry on the 'Dark Horse' singer's upcoming tour.
Well, that didn't take long! Shortly after Miley Cyrus lashed out at Katy Perry and John Mayer, the 'Dark Horse' singer responded!
Ouch! After Katy Perry went on an Aussie TV show to say that she pulled away from Miley Cyrus when the singer tried to slip her the tongue in their kiss-seen-round-the-world because "God knows where that tongue has been," Miley has retaliated, rather meanly, on Twitter.
If Katy Perry's singing career flops, perhaps she has a future in weather forecasting. While on the set for a news interview, the American singer took to the weather forecast and nailed it!!!

DENVER (AP) _ A Denver Rock Island Railroad Conductor is dead after a slow-moving train collided with a semi-truck at an unlit intersection in Adams County.
The Colorado Highway Patrol says the truck was westbound on 66th Avenue in Denver when it struck the locomotive at about 7 p.m. Wedensday. The truck rolled onto its passenger side, while the Train remained upright on the rails. Authorities say the train consisted of an engine and three cars and was moving about 5 mph. The truck's speed is under
The Patrol says the conductor, a 33-year-old Denver-area man whose name wasn't released, was on the rear of the third rail car when the crash occurred. He died at the scene. The Patrol says the truck's driver, 47-year-old Wendell Cox of Bedford heights, Ohio, was transported to a Thornton hospital with ``minor to moderate'' injuries. Neither the train nor the semi-truck appeared to be carrying a load.

NSU lineman makes quick return to field
Published: Friday, October 12, 2007 at 9:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 12, 2007 at 9:29 a.m.
THIBODAUX Nicholls State offensive lineman Ben Gombossy had little to do in the first half of Saturdays win over Northwestern State.
With Colonels defensive backs Ladarius Webb and Kareem Moore combining to return four interceptions for touchdowns in the first half, all Gombossy and the rest of Nicholls offensive players could do was stand on the sideline in amazement.
The returns tied a NCAA record, which was last done by the Demons during the 2003 season.
Gombossy and the Colonels offense take pride in moving the chains and chewing clock, giving the defense time to rest. But, it was the defense scoring and allowing the offense to rest, which made Saturdays game out of the ordinary for Gombossy.
No I havent, Gombossy said about seeing four interceptions returned for scores. Those two guys, Ladarius and Kareem, are really good players. The play really hard and they have great instincts, which sets them apart.
The interception returns eventually led to a 58-0 win by the Colonels over the Demons.
Gombossy said that even though the offense took a backseat to the defense, a win is a win, and it doesnt matter which unit is scoring points.
I was putting on my helmet to get ready to go on the field and they throw a pick and we get a touchdown. So, I take my helmet off, but then it happens again, then again and again, Gombossy said. As an offensive player, we want to be on the field, but we hardly touched it and the defense scores four times. That always helps us win and that is the only thing that matters.
Entering the 2007 season, there was some doubt as to whether Gombossy was going to be healthy enough to play.
Three games into the 2006 season, Gombossy suffered a season-ending knee injury. Gombossy said he torn his MCL and ACL and need reconstructive surgery to repair the damage.
It was a big time injury, but being the man that I am and with the people I have around me, I knew I was going to get back in the game eventually, Gombossy said. I knew I had a good surgeon and I was going to be all right.
After surgery, doctors told Gombossy his rehab would last 12 to 14 months. But with his work ethic, Gombossy took just six months to rehab his injury and he was ready to go for August camp.
Coming back quick, I have to thank my wife (Tempest). She helped me a lot and my family and the Lord helped me, Gombossy said. I was just working real hard, and having someone tell me, in my ear, that it is going to be all right.
But my wife helped a lot and I really love her. She took care of me and fed me and I couldnt have asked for more.
Even though Gombossy was cleared to practice, Nicholls State coach Jay Thomas said during camp they had a plan to help Gombossy gain strength in his knee.
We rested him some because when players get tired that is when a re-injury can occur. The knee was fixed, it was just to get his strength back, Thomas said. A lot of guys have trouble overcoming those type of injuries and it takes some two years.
He is such a hard worker. He has done a phenomenal job in the offseason and he has come back extremely well.
Injuries beset the Colonels offense in 2006. Gombossy was one of three offensive linemen to go down during that season.
Thomas said his triple option always starts with the dive and having Gombossy out of the line up took away a key component from the scheme.
He is a tough, nasty guy, and he and Jesse Frazier is where everything starts. They are lined up against 300-pound defensive tackles, so if they cant get movement, we can move, Thomas said. We had three guys go down, but not having Ben and his presence in the huddle was tough. He is such a good leader.
Gombossy and the other seniors hope to lead the Colonels in accomplishing something Nicholls hasnt done since 1986 get a win at Stephen F. Austin. Nicholls plays the Lumberjacks at 6 p.m. Saturday in Home Bryce Stadium in Nacogdoches, Texas.
The Colonels have failed to win in their last nine trips to Stephen F. Austin.
Even in the Colonels 2005 Southland Conference championship season, their only hiccup in conference was a 27-21 overtime loss to Stephen F. Austin.
Gombossy said that overconfidence played a part in the 2005 loss, but as for the other games, there is no exact reason as to why Nicholls has had little success in Nacogdoches.
In 2005, they werent playing well and we had come off a loss. But we played well (in the loss) and we thought we would walk the table with them, Gombossy said. I just think when we get over there we lose focus. It is not the coaches they prepare us. We just have to do a better job of focussing.
Right now, our only goal is to beat Stephen F. (Austin). We are not thinking about 5-1 or 2-0 in conference. It is all about being 1-0 this week. If they beat us and take our dream away, well, we cant let that happen. We have to be 1-0 and that is our only focus.

This picture of "the Niagara of the West" was taken from a steel platform high above the falls. For someone suffering from anxiety in great heights like me, it was not too easy to take... I gingerly stepped onto the platform, took a couple of pictures and a short film, and handed the camera - soaked in sweat - to my wife, and then ran away from the platform as quickly as I could...
Thank you very much, Marin.

Algonquin trail
As you gaze at the forest floor,
Do you see the hidden door?
Walking slow and stepping light,
Dont get spooked and run in fright.
Do what we say and you wont get wet,
Wandering off is not a safe bet.
Crossing footbridges, and walk boards too,
Youll see ferns and not just a few.
When you come to the creek, youll see a post,
The hard part is to come, so dont raise a toast.
Walking left, 20 paces from the old miners sign,
Youll cross our creek, I hope in time.
On the far side a submerged post at this spot,
Youre on track, so no need to trot.
Now youre on the South Valley Trail.
Go the right way or for sure youll fail.
Heading towards a, b, and c,
Go the wrong way and a troll youll see.
Hiking along this beautiful stream,
Stay on the path, no reason to scream.
Soon you start to feel that thrill,
As you hug the very edge of a hill.
As you enter a valley, look around,
Large Beech trees soon abound.
Now as you start up this great big hill.
Of hiking we know youll soon have your fill.
At the top, you can look all around.
A stump with a gash, we hope youve found.
As you walk 240 degrees, leave no trace,
A forest giant awaits at the 80th pace.
From there, 100 steps, to the old wagon road.
270 degrees, and dont step on a toad.
Now go 20 paces north, at least,
Or you find nothing or maybe a beast.
Come alone if you dare,
Or come along as a pair.
Climb 25 steps east up the hill,
Find our little Beach tree, to feel the thrill.
First know whats at stake,
You dont want to make a deadly mistake!
Deep inside this fine little tree,
Youll find what makes you just like me!
Thanks, Dan and Linda

Skip to comments.Zimmerman 'does not properly respect the law,' judge says in order revoking bond
Posted on 06/12/2012 9:02:42 AM PDT by Aunt Polgara
The judge who revoked George Zimmerman's bond did so after he determined that it was "apparent" that Zimmerman's wife had lied under oath, and clear that Zimmerman "does not properly respect the law."
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester revoked Zimmerman's bond on June 1, but his written order was filed Monday. In it, Lester lays out his rationale.
(Excerpt) Read more at articles.orlandosentinel.com ...
Dispatcher or 911 operator?
You do know that they are two completely different things right?
What message do you think the dispatcher was trying to convey?
Finally admit??? I never denied it, did I?
The Dispatcher or whoever said it to Zimmerman did not give a lawful order, and Zimmerman lost view of "No Limit Trayvon" which is also in the transcript. It is obvious that Trayvon doubled back to confront and he surprised Zimmerman. The belligerent aggressor was N.L. Trayvon.
It is a clear case of self-defense to everyone but to liberals, politicians, and rabble-rousers.
Sounds like the judge understands that the "Justice Brothers" know where he lives.
None of this would have happened if Trayvon had not gotten suspended from school, if he had stayed home, if he had not cold-cocked Zimmerman, if he had stopped his assault after he knocked him down, if he had not then gotten on top of him, if he had not slugged him again, .... and again, ....and again, if he had stopped when Zimmerman cried out for "help", again and again, if he had then not slammed his head on the concrete again and again, .... and then not grabbed for his gun.
How many times in that encounter did Trayvon have the opportunity to stop his assault and chose not to.
Perhaps tonite when you go to the grocery store you should stay in your car. That way you may just prevent that burglary or assault that would not have happened if you had just stayed in your car.
Aw, Jeez! This judge has been bought off. There is so much wrong with those statements.
This judge was Zimmerman's last hope for something approaching fairness and it looks like he's in with the lynch mob now.
Zimmerman was already out of the car at that point moron...
Really? I'm flattered.
Do you know about when that list was put out? I'd like to view it.
"but he was advised to not follow him"
You read the transcript and apparently can't get past racial politics and comprehend the fact the dispatcher never told him to "not follow him."
You were on the OJ jury, weren't you.
You ignore facts, you ignore the plain truth that a dispatcher has no authority to direct anyone to do anything—that is why the dispatcher never told him to do anything.
The dispatcher never told him to "stay in his car" as you allege and you agree because you cite the transcript where the dispatcher said they didn't need him to follow—he did not direct him to "stay in his car" as you allege.
Therefore, factually, he was not "advised to not follow him."
I must admit your posts are hugely amusing.
They are.
It's a shame, then, that Trayvon didn't just go home like he would have if he had been scared of Zimmerman.
Well, if you'd like, take every instance that I used the word kid, and substitute your word of choice.
"Youre saying the dispatcher did not advise him to stay in the car?"
No, the dispatcher did not. They said, "We don't need you to do that," i.e. follow Martin, or something to that effect. Which is not legally binding, and therefore not relevant to his guilt or innocence. More importantly, for all we know Zimmerman obeyed it. Can you say for certain he continued to follow Martin after the advisement? I'd like to see that evidence.
What is there to lose?
"First, what "kid" are you talking about?"
He's talking about this little 17 year old baby boy!
"By federal law (10 U.S.C., 505), the minimum age for enlistment in the United States Military is 17 (with parental consent) and 18 (without parental consent). "
Here we go, folks, *BUSTED*!

I feel the same about Costner. You should try pushing yourself away from Fox News and not waiting to be pulled, its healthier.

(They NEVER WATCH Faux News and so they don't know)
Yep, I've seen it before, and it reflects in my tagline.
Just think if Trayvon had not gone to get tea and skittles, he would still be alive. Or maybe if Trayvon was not beating on George MMA style then Trayvon would still be alive.
nice out, thanks
Yeah, look at how many years Bill Clinton got when he pissed off U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright...
Oh, that's right - American Royalty is more equal than a peasant like George Zimmerman, who apparently didn't learn enough "respect" for the law from his father, the judge...
"Zimmerman was an utter fool to do this - he now has given the Prosecution the best weapon they could possibly have hoped for, 'reasonable doubt'."
It seems he got what he deserved in terms of his bond but there's no way this is part of the trial.
It's a wonder the kid didn't use it on Zimmerman's car
I'm sure you know what list that is.
Do you post in a clown suit? Or do you just play a clown on Free Republic?
Yes -- you got it, finally.
Now which of these two things is against the law:
1] returning to his vehicle or
2] attacking the person returning to his vehicle.
Take all the time you need and think hard about it.
I agree, the transcript doesn't account for what happened after the phone call was over.
"As far as I know, youve still never even presented a plausible scenario for how Trayvon knew Zimmerman had a gun, before bashing Zimmermans head on the concrete."
One of the theories, backed by no evidence whatsoever, is that Martin attacked after Zimmerman brandished his gun.
He's been outed for the LEFTIST he is.
See #166.
"When you are in jail, and you know your phone calls are monitored, and you use code like What should we do with the $100 ($100 = $100,000 - thats one tough code, eh?)..."
Sure, if Capt. Zimmerman were a Secret Agent Man, like James Bond, working to save the USA from the USSR, he might have insisted on a better code that would have been more difficult to decipher.
However, there was no way that Zimmerman could have known that the Sanford PD would have the advanced CIA technology available to them needed to break that code.
Actually, it is quite scary that a small town PD would have the power, the technology, the array of Supercomputers and the wherewithal required to decipher a code that just a few years ago would have taken the CIA years to break.
The words drug addicted, hoodlum thug come to mind.
Obviously, a whole lot of people, don't.
And you must be among them as this is the first time on this entire thread you've correctly quoted what he was told.
The transcript reads Dispatcher Sanford Police Department, right?
Thanks. From time to time I do miss the proper word.
Just think what would have happened if he'd stayed in his car?
"Please provide proof (such as a neutral witness statement) that Martin attacked Zimmerman.
Zimmerman's injuries prove only that he can't fight (but he sure can scream).They do not prove who started the fight at all"
I could say the most reasonable supposition from the evidence, including Zimmerman's version, the medical reports, and eye witness testimony, is that Martin attacked Zimmerman. And it's not so easy as you think to brush it off as Zimmerman being a bad fighter. He would have had to start the fight and not only lose but also not land a single blow, besides the one from his gun. That is incredible.
My supposition is not proof, but of course you don't need proof to declare something on the internet. Luckily, the defense does not have to prove Martin started it in court, either, as the burden is on the prosecution.
you have an amazing ability to purposely ignore basic facts of this case and keep childishly asking
But why?...
Well, how come?...
Well why?....
But why?...
Well, how come?...
Well why?....
even though many posters have shown you why your premise is wrong.
We conservatives need to drop the meme that Trayvon towered over Zimmerman in height; it's functionally the same as liberals who still claim that Zimmerman outweighed Trayvon by 70 pounds. They're both false and, with my apologies, it makes it look as if we don't know the facts.
The autopsy of Martin says he was 5'11". The police report made by the officer who saw Martin's body guessed he was 6'0" tall.
The "kid" was was 2" taller than 5'9" Zimmerman, that's all.
Just think, none of this would have happened if they both or either one, had done things differently!!!
"Just think" if that kid hadn't ATTACKED him and knocked him down and began pounding on him, "the kid" would still be alive.
So, you're saying that not watching Fox News means that he's "leftist"?
He's a LEFTIST.
See #166.
Can you post for us the exact words of the dispatcher that night, where Zimmerman was when he heard them, what his response to those words were, and where he was returning to when Trayvon assaulted him???? Then no more of your uninformed posts will have to happen.
Just "think" if 'No Limit' didn't double back to attack Zimmerman.
Your argument doesn't make any sense.
No. The dispatcher asked him to keep an eye on him.
stuartcr is one of the nastiest people on FR. All he does is goad. That's it.
"So, youre saying that not watching Fox News means that hes leftist?
NOT AT ALL. You've "surprisingly" missed the entire point.
Look at the way he refers to Fox News and has no clue that Fox News is not Right Wing, and view that in the light of all his posts on this subject.
I'll second that. Yes, I noticed that years ago about him.
Thanks for your explanation. I think your point might not have been as clear as you think.

1.26 is a public art sculpture commission designed by artist Janet Echelman for Denver's inaugural Biennial of the Americas celebration in July 2010. The sculpture's name is a reference the 2010 Chile earthquake which may have resulted in a 1.26 microsecond shortening of the days on Earth.[1] The sculpture's shape was inspired by NOAA's graphic simulation of the tsunami caused by the earthquake. The sculpture was hung outside the Denver Art Museum between the museum and the Civic Center Park's Greek Amphitheater.

Erislandy Lara vs. Emanuele Della Rosa WBC Eliminator
By Miguel Rivera
The World Boxing Council has advised BoxingScene.com that WBC International champion Emanuele Della Rosa (31-1, 8KOs) will be the opponent for Erislandy Lara in a final junior middleweight eliminator. Della Rosa lost in 2009, by split decision, to middleweight Sebastian Zbik.
Lara (17-1-2, 11KOs) faced Vanes Marirosyan in a final eliminator last November. They went to a nine round technical decision draw after Vanes suffered cut above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads. The WBC ordered them to fight again, but Vanes took a pass with no written contract clause for the winner to get a guaranteed shot at WBC champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

Arcadia Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene)
Quote #7
Hannah: The grass went from the doorstep to the horizon and the best box hedge in Derbyshire was dug up for the ha-ha so that the fools could pretend they were living in God's countryside. And then Richard Noakes came in to bring God up to date. (1.2)
It's usual to think of "natural" as "without human intervention," but Hannah's history of gardening suggests that the definition of "natural" is subject to fashion. If ideas of nature depend on historical context, does that extend to science as well? If two time periods have different ideas about what nature is, does that mean that their science will go about investigating it in different ways?
Quote #8
Thomasina: Each week I plot your equations dot for dot, xs against ys in all manner of algebraical relation, and every week they draw themselves as commonplace geometry, as if the world of forms were nothing but arcs and angles. God's truth, Septimus, if there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose? (1.3)
Thomasina's words here recall those step-by-step drawing books we had as kids where you'd go from a pile of circles and curves to a passable rendition of a human face. Perhaps the principle is the same – moving from the simple to the complex in stages is easier than just leaping ahead to the finished project. Unless, of course, you're a genius.
Quote #9
Valentine: People were talking about the end of physics. Relativity and quantum looked as if they were going to clean out the whole problem between them. A theory of everything. But they only explained the very big and the very small. The universe, the elementary particles. The ordinary-sized stuff which is our lives, the things people write poetry about – clouds – daffodils – waterfalls – and what happens in a cup of coffee when the cream goes in – these things are full of mystery, as mysterious to us as the heavens were to the Greeks. (1.4)
Is a view of nature as mysterious necessary in order to write poetry about it? And it's kind of funny that the most familiar things are also the most difficult to explain scientifically. Or is it precisely their familiarity that makes them more difficult to see with the distance required for scientific observation?

Charlie Gibson has announced that he will be stepping down as anchor of ABC's World News at the end of the year.
Diane Sawyer will be assuming the anchor position of World News in January 2010.
Sawyer's elevation means that, with Katie Couric, two of the three leading anchors for the broadcast networks will be women.
Gibson said he had been planning to retire at the end of 2007 but events compelled him to stay. He was named anchor following the death of Peter Jennings and the wartime injury of Bob Woodruff.
Gibson has been at ABC News for 35 years and says he plans to continue as an occasional contributor.
Gibson took over the ratings lead shortly after he took over at "World News." But he was eventually passed by NBC's Brian Williams, who has led in the ratings for nearly a year.

Ranbir Kapoor's Besharam Second Day Collection At Box Office
Abhinav Kashyap's latest directorial venture Besharam starring Ranbir Kapoor and Pallavi Sharda in leads, has got fantastic opening and done decent collection at the Indian Box Office. The romantic action comedy has beaten the first day collection record of Ranbir Kapoor's previous release Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. But considering the volume of its release on a holiday, trade experts say that its performance is not upto the mark.
With its promos soared up the viewers' curiosity to the sky high, Besharam released in 3600 screens in the country on October 2, a Gandhi Jayanti holiday. The film, which had huge amount of advance ticket booking, registered an average of 90% to 95% occupancy in both single screens and multiplexes on its opening day. The Ranbir Kapoor and Pallavi Sharda movie has collected approximately Rs 21.56 crores nett at the Indian Box Office on the first day of its release.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "Big holiday [2 Oct] + Ranbir after #Barfi and #YJHD + Massive release... #Besharam should've collected Rs 25 cr+ on Wed. It didn't! #Besharam - India *early estimates*: Wed Rs 20 cr+." He added, "Today [Thu] and tomorrow [Fri] are crucial for #Besharam. The film will have to maintain the momentum to post a healthy total."
The negative word of mouth has taken a toll on the business of Besharm, which has dropped considerably on Thursday. The movie has collected approximately Rs 7 crores nett at the Indian Box Office on the second day. With this, its two-days domestic total stands at Rs 28.56 crores nett.
However, the buzz in social media is not very good for Besharam. Most of the viewers, who watched the film in the first show, did not like what they saw and they are busy spreading bad word of mouth on Twitter. We bring you some tweets of the film goers. Continue to see them in the slideshow.

Posted on 01/26/2013 11:30:39 AM PST by Irish Rose
Lord, we pray for our military heroes who have been wounded in the line of duty. We ask You to heal them fully and grant to them and their families all that they need all strength, all hope, all resources.
Father, we pray for those who serve in the police forces throughout our land. Protect them when they go into danger, help them to be just, and let Your hand be with them in protecting the innocent and finding out the guilty.
LORD, You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. You take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn to You and live. Father, You are concerned for the ignorant and the foolish, for those who cannot tell their right hand from their left. There is joy before the angels in heaven over every sinner who repents, for You, Lord, long to redeem us. How patiently You deal with us, Lord, and how wisely You teach us! Even the animals receive Your care; You remember the sparrows and take thought of the cattle. We submit to You, the Father of our spirits, because of Your good mercy, and we pray in the Name of Jesus Christ Your Son, Amen.
A call to prayer.
Amen to your prayer for Our American Heroes and for Our Nation, Irish Rose.
Praying your heartfelt words, Irish Rose.
Blessings, etabeta
Thank you, Father, for all Your care and for hearing and answering our prayers.
In Jesus Name,
Praying your beautiful prayer with you, Amen
I join in prayer for our heroes and nation!
Amen to your Most Wonderful, Heaven-Enabled Prayer, Dearest Sister Irish Rose.
It's a Blessing to Pray your Powerful Prayers with you.
That is the Most Beautiful Graphic!
'The Lord Bless thee from Zion; the Lord Who Made Heaven and Earth.' (Ps.134:3)
Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. (Ephesians 6:24)

May 11, 2005 Host: Vic Eliason Topic: False Doctrine Guest: David DiCanio Description: Dr. David DiCanio is Pastor of Columbine Free Presbyterian Church in Columbine, Colorado, and is involved in Christian Media, which produces television-style documentaries on religious trends and movements. Vic Eliason presents two audio cuts. One features Robert Schuller being interviewed by Dr. David DiCanio after giving a keynote address at the 2004 National Association of Evangelicals meeting. The other cut features Robert Schuller interviewing Billy Graham. The two discuss their views concerning how people are saved.
Dr. DiCanio interacts with callers to discuss the opinions expressed by Schuller and Graham and the current move of some leaders in Christianity to preach a gospel that teaches salvation apart from a conscious, biblical awareness of Christ as the only way to God.

There are also those who have a child like spirit, of which the Kingdom of God is made. He looks at our heart and He precives us like no one else can, because He judges the intentions of our hearts.
yes, maybe its me just not wanting to think God has previously condemned them. I'm open to thinking I dont know it all.
But to see the love of Jesus some mentally retarded people have or others with difficulties does not seem right...so for me I choose to believe Gods love is great enough for them.
And yes, see my profile, I am a God is Justice kind of Christian.
"I think the age is 12 or so, but no I don't have the exact scripture."
I am somewhat familiar with the Bible and don't ever recall reading such a thing.
"Now are you going to seize the opportunity to be a jerk and state how incredibly wrong I am?"
Well, you kinda screwed up my opportunity to do that right there didn't you? So who is the jerk? ;-)
"Are you are a Christian wishing to educate me, or a non-Christian wishing to belittle me?"
I am a non-Chrisitan looking for some education.
I would think you would have got an "inkling" from the Clinton love fest at his last "Government sponsored" crusade.
..... tell me it isn't so ping
God says he will have mercy upon who he will have mercy...
Do you think that a knowledge of the creator from nature is enough for salvation?
Then, why Jesus?
How I usually deal with this is to say that Jesus is the only provision given by the Father so that people can be assured of eternal life. It is clearly *not* for us to declare who actually goes to heaven and who goes to hell. All we can do is preach the gospel. It is entirely God's responsibility to decide who goes where.
My personal hope is that God finds a way to redeem all of mankind, but I have nothing in the Bible that gives me reason to believe that's the case. Again, if someone wants to go to heaven, the only assurance the New Testament can give them is through faith in Christ. There's no other provision made by which a man can be saved.
From tripping over a couple steps days, months or years before the possibility of that event even occurring...the person would understand gravity before he or she knew what gravity was. [I like it to how my 1 yr old carefully gets down onto the floor, after he propped himself up to stand. He only had to be careless a couple of times (with someone there to catch him of course) to understand balance and the force of gravity.] That experience alone would render the possibility of stepping off a 10 story building highly unlikely.
>>That would be interesting. Where does it say that?
My thought as well. I Corinthians 7:14 calls the children of at least one believing parent "holy" so I think these children would be saved. I don't think that anything can be concluded Biblically about the children of unbelievers.
Personally, I believe that is what the reverend was trying to say.
Have you read the Chronicles of Narnia?
C. S. Lewis has a character that follows Tass (which is the other evil religion). Well, during the book The Last Battle, the followers of Aslan (Christ) go through this barn door to heaven. When they are in heaven they see this follower of Tass and ask how he got there. He says something like that he was always trying to do the right thing, and that he thought Tass was the correct god. However, when he got through the door he realized that he was really trying to follow Aslan all along.
Somehow after this character got to Heaven he got a choice to follow God.
I don't know if I explained it correctly. However, I think what C. S. Lewis is saying is that people who have never been exposed to Christ in this world will be given a final chance to follow Christ in Heaven. I also recall reading in the Bible that somehow everyone will be given a choice to follow God.
There is no Age of Reason in the Bible. God didn't create this process to be complicated. Christians are to spread the Gospel so that people may hear and be Saved. There is only one way to Heaven and that is through Christ. We reject the Gospel and are imperiled by our decision.
Yeah, what was a Christian doing talking to a sinner?! Christ would NEVER... oh, wait a minute.
I don't agree with all Graham's comments that night, but I'm not going to encourage scurrilous rumours or false witness as a result. Again, where's the transcript? Why are so many so eager to judge without solid evidence?
Sorry, but I'm not going to race with my Zippo to this particular witch-burning, thanks.
I can't find it right now. But in John it says Christ will judge ALL THE NATIONS, and many of them are pagan, so I assume they have a chance to accept him.
As am I. I do see justice and mercy as one in the same, though.
I believe we can understand His thinking since He's the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and we have numerous examples of how He acts.
I think it's very likely that they will be welcomed into His Kingdom, but I try not to presume how He'll decide since I then risk molding Him into the God I want, rather than the God He is.
2 Kings, 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
It isn't about talking with sinners, it's about what was said. Christ never minced words in telling someone that they're doing wrong. He's been known to bang some heads together to get the point across, too.
That sounds rather like you have once chance..... only one. If you are "saved" and then you back slide you are destined for hell because you probably never meant it anyway.
I don't think so.
kinda puts that whole klintoon thingy in a new perspective under and a new light doesn't it???
I don't see this thread as any "witch hunt". It's just the ruminations over another pc statement uttered by Billy Grahm. This is nothing new out of him. He has been a Democrat all his life and has made numerous pc statements through out his ministry.
There are links posted to the audio.
That's a great way to pparaphrase it, actually. It's Romans 1.
You have to know about Jesus to be "Saved". "Saved" refers to being Saved from your sins, not just going to Heaven. Sin just doesn't wash off in the rain. It takes the blood of Jesus.
There is no point in which an unbeliever "loses" his sins unless it occurs in the afterlife. See Romans3
Rom 3:7-26
(7) For if in my lie the truth has more abounded to His glory why am I still judged as a sinner?
(8) And not rather, (as we are wrongly accused, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do bad things that good may come? Their condemnation is just.
(9) What then? Do we excel? No, in no way; for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks all with being under sin,
(10) as it is written: "There is none righteous, no not one;
(11) there is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God."
(12) "They are all gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable, there is none that does good, no, not one."
(19) But we know that whatever things the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be under judgment before God,
(20) because by the works of the Law none of all flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law is the knowledge of sin.
(21) But now a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets;
(22) even the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ, toward all and upon all those who believe. For there is no difference,
(23) for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,
(24) being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
(25) whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness through the passing by of the sins that had taken place before, in the forbearance of God;
(26) for the display of His righteousness at this time, for Him to be just and, forgiving the one being of the faith of Jesus.
Nevertheless, the Clintons could use as much exposure to men of God as possible and I hope God uses that exposure to draw them to Him.
I think at some point everyone will be given an opportunity to follow Christ.
I think somehow those that don't hear about Christ on earth, I think they will be given an opportunity to follow him after death. This is my opinion.
As for witnessing to non-believers, I just go with:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He sent His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.
>>>I am a non-Chrisitan looking for some education.>>>
I am a Christian needing some education myself. Good thing being a Christian doesn't have to mean you have the entire Bible memorized. But I will do some research and get back with you.
If you choose to reject the Gospel, you are condemned.
But there's no transcript for this "pc statement"? No evidence at all? That's all I'm asking for, yet no one's providing it.
Why would you believe a transcript, if you don't believe what you hear when you listen to the interview? Just curious.
why arent you able to listen to it?
I have no speakers.
You said: Then it would be better to not have missionaries.
Except for the Great Commission (Go ye therefore into all nations....) you might be right.
got it.
the site doesnt look like it supports transcripts so youre prob out of luck. youll just need to go by what others are saying after listening and make your own judgement.
He may have been referring to Romans 1:20 ("For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualitieshis eternal power and divine naturehave been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.") and 2:15 ("...since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.").
Graham has fallen away from orthodox Christianity.
And, those who say these quotes are isolated are wrong.
He has said this heresy for years.
May 31, 1997 interview with Robert Schuller: "I've met people in various parts of the world...that have never seen a Bible or heard about a Bible, and never heard of Jesus, but they've believed in their hearts that there was a God. So, there you have it. The world's most famous evangelist teaches that no one needs Jesus to be saved and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. They're already members of the Body of Christ whether they know it or not! All they have to do is believe in a God."
"I used to believe that pagans in far-off countries were lost--were going to hell. I no longer believe that. I believe that there are other ways of recognizing the existence of God--through nature, for instance." (McCall Magazine Jan. 1987).
"I respect other paths to God," (Billy Graham, Parade Magazine, Oct 20th 1996)
IOW, all you need to do is believe in a God to be saved. You don't need Jesus.
Frankly, I am willing to accept that God can save anybody he wants to even if they do not accept Christ. The Jews who had faith in God were saved because they had faith in God, and Christ was the Word involved in creation. Christ is God, not just the Son. So, in effect, the OT saints had faith in Christ, too, though they did not realize it. But, Graham goes far beyond this and says that God WILL save anyone who has never heard of Jesus Christ. This is NOT a position that can be proven from Scripture.
There is no Scriptural support for the idea that one today will go to heaven if they believe in any sort of heathen god, or as Graham put it, "other paths to God." No, you must believe in the one true God, which is only the Christian God. Not the Buddhist God. Not the Muslim or the Hindu. There is a reason why the Jews of today are not saved. They reject Jesus Christ, one of the members of the trinity, so in effect the Jews do not believe in the one true God either because their God is missing one of the members of the trinity.
If Scripture said those who only believe in a god will be saved, then orthodox Christianity has missed something. Jesus said he was the way, the truth, and the life. NO MAN.....NO MAN comes to the father except through him. NOBODY.
Scripture doesn't say there are exceptions for that poor native in Africa who has never heard the Gospel. If he hasn't heard the Gospel, he is going to hell because he doesn't believe in the truth. It doesn't matter that he hasn't heard it. Persisting in a rejection of Christ will result in damnation. And, even if you haven't heard the Gospel, Romans 1 makes abundantly clear you still are guilty before God because nature itself cries out the truth of God, including the trinity...
There is nothing in Scripture that indicates otherwise.
Eventually, Romans 11 or so indicates that God will deal more with the Jews and even perhaps save all of them, but they are not saved as of yet because they have REJECTED Christ just like everybody, so their understanding of the one true God is flawed. And, even those who have never heard of Christ, reject in their hearts because they choose evil or false religions.
Billy Graham is outside orthodox Christianity on this matter.
Yes, I should have mentioned earlier I couldn't listen! Sorry I wasn't clear about that.
There are people posting on this thread, claiming to be christian, that think salvation can come without faith in Jesus Christ. Some of them think that if unbelievers have never heard the gospel message, they will automatically go to heaven anyway...so, why would they want to have missionaries...it would mean that some would hear and reject, sending them to hell...if only they hadn't heard, all would have been ok. See?
If you don't understand Jesus Christ, one of the persons of the trinity, your understanding of GOD is incomplete, which means you still are persisting in a rejection of what all of nature testifies in Romans 1, the truth that there is a God. Therefore, you are still guilty and under condemnation.
It is only liberal denominations that confess a non-Christian can be saved in this period of grace.
Common grace doesn't save.
Reincarnation as a cow is not a Hindu's goal.
Hindus also have no problem admitting that other religions might offer their own ways to salvation/God/Heaven/etc. In the Bhagavad Gita, God as Krishna explicitly states that men come to him through many paths.
Some Hindus worship Jesus as a god among many - or as one way among many. I've read the New Testament and the Koran and I'm still not sure why Christianity and Islam have such a problem with the concept and insist on being considered the only right way.
Personally, I think it's all nonsense, but if you insist on believing, you might as well be tolerant about others' beliefs. If Graham actually said that Christ might not be the only way to salvation, kudos to him.
I tend to believe most, if not all, of what you say, but I acknowledge that what I believe, I believe by faith. That faith is the faith of a frail human being in a God who is infinite and all-knowing, and all-righteous. No one of us can KNOW how God might treat those who have not heard the name of Jesus. Our faith must direct us, but we must always understand that it is by faith we believe, not by earthly "knowledge."
Catholic teaching is that some virtuous individuals, perhaps many of them, such as virtuous pagans or let's say virtuous Buddhists, can be saved, even though they do not know Christ consciously. But they listen to their hearts and consciences and do the best they know how.
Even though they don't consciously know Christ, Christ knows them, and can offer His grace to them.
One biblical indication that this principle follows is that it is that Abraham, Moses, and other virtuous Hebrews are said to be in heaven. They did not know Christ consciously, but they had faith in God and Christ saved them retroactively. See also St. Paul's words concerning the ancient "heroes of faith." From the viewpoint of eternity, all time is present time, and Christ's saving sacrifice can just as well extend backward into the past as forward into the future.
But it is just plain wrong in the traditional Christian view to say that there can be any salvation except through Christ. His saving sacrifice and offered grace are the only means of salvation.
Association with the Clintons will corrupt any mind!!!
According to the tape I listened to, Graham supposedly made these comments much earlier in time, e.g., well before his current (alleged) mental decline.
"Without faith there is no salvation."
So a person who never heard Christ's name and dies is automatically sent to Hell? What kind of loving God does that?
