    Is the wow that they were murdered over a parking space?  Or is it because the victims were muslim, which had nothing to do with anything?  Or is it because the media latched on to the muslim thing DESPITE it not being a factor in this?

    jv_coach got a reaction from Mr. Buddy Garrity in FOOTBALL BRINGS US TOGETHER   
    FOOTBALL BRINGS US TOGETHER
      The Associated Press by DANIEL J. FLYNN29 Jan 20150
    http://www.breitbart...gs-us-together/
      Football, as the first Sunday in February again proves, brings Americans together like nothing else. But for several years, the journalists who profit off the game have strangely tried to tear the goalposts down—and not in celebration of the sport. This season, saturation coverage of Ray Rice’s assault on his fiancée in an Atlantic City elevator created the widespread impression of a spousal-battery epidemic among athletes. But as Benjamin Morris of FiveThirtyEight.com discovered, the arrest rate for domestic violence among NFL players stands at a little more than half the national average.
    In seasons past, media antagonists reported urban myths that NFL players died young or committed suicide at elevated rates as fact to discredit America’s Game. But the most comprehensive study of NFL players ever conducted shows that NFL players actually outlive their peers and that comparable men in society take their own lives at more than double the clip of NFL veterans.
    The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, in a 2012 study of the nearly 3,500 pension-vested players who competed in the league between 1959 and 1988, expected a death rate of 18 percent based on prevailing mortality figures. Instead, they found a 10 percent death rate. Players enjoyed dramatically better health outcomes vis-à-vis their non-pro peers with regard to heart disease, cancer, respiratory illness, diabetes, and in ten of the remaining thirteen categories examined. Football does a body good.
    The study also strongly suggests that the media wildly exaggerates threats posed to the brain as a result of the game. The federal government’s scientists expected to find 10 direct deaths from neurodegenerative diseases based on prevailing rates. They found 12—out of nearly 3,500 men. Surely the drinking in the stands imperils brains more than the play on the field.
    One year a Fourth Estate feeding frenzy fixates on concussions; the next, on football players in the crime blotter. We don’t know what pigskin story ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” will obsess over next season. We just know it will be unflattering—and probably untrue.
    Why do Americans play, watch, and cheer when journalists constantly tell us we should feel guilty for doing so?
    Football fields teach the basic life lesson that one must get up after getting knocked down, reward controlled aggression over reflexive passivity, impart in young people that others depend on their effort and that effort often goes unheralded, condition competitors to endure short-term pain for long-term gain, and constantly remind us to never, ever quit. The game is motivational, aspirational, educational, and, of course, perspirational—to coin a word—and Americans love it for these reasons. Football, in which players find themselves in the mud only to wipe themselves off and fight on, plays as a metaphor for life.
    Football fields serve as the place where notions of racial superiority go to die and where sheltered kids first encounter children of other backgrounds. African Americans were present at the creation of the NFL, with Fritz Pollard leading his team to a championship in the inaugural season and coaching his team in the second. A First American, Jim Thorpe, famously served as the NFL’s first commissioner. The game favors talent, hard work, toughness—not a player’s race, religion, or class.
    Football fields grow boys into men. Fatherless boys looking for discipline and an authority figure can find them on a football field. Boys dubbed hyperactive by teachers can find a cure not in a pill bottle but on a football field. Boys, twenty percent of whom now classify as obese, can turn lard into lean and the disadvantages of size into a strength on a football field. America’s epidemic of under-fathered, over-medicated, obese youngsters receives an antidote on the gridiron.
    Footballs fields, from post-Katrina New Orleans to post-Mayflower truck Baltimore, can bring communities together and tear them apart. It’s how Nowheresville, Texas, spends Friday nights, what turns sleepy college towns into bustling metropolises on Saturday afternoons, and what transfixes the entire country on Sundays. On a Tuesday in January, every channel played the State of the Union address but nobody watched. On a Sunday in February, one channel plays the Super Bowl and everybody watches.
    Americans stand divided over the cable news networks we tune-in to, the churches we attend (or don’t), the candidates we vote for, and even the languages that we speak. Americans stand united behind football.
    What’s wrong with a great people coming together for a great game?

    jv_coach got a reaction from mat in If a thing is free to be good it's also free to be bad   
    “God created things which had free will. That means creatures which can go wrong or right. Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong, but I can't. If a thing is free to be good it's also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata -of creatures that worked like machines- would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they've got to be free.
    Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently, He thought it worth the risk. (...) If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will -that is, for making a real world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings- then we may take it it is worth paying.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Case for Christianity

      Sir Winston Churchill has been recognized as one of the greatest men of the late nineteenth and of the twentieth century. He was an extraordinary war leader to whom the Western World must be forever in debt. He was a prophet in his own time as this quotation, written well over 100 years ago, demonstrates.
     
    How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men
     
    Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step, and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it (Islam) has vainly struggled the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
     
    Sir Winston, as an officer of the British Army, served in the Sudan and in the Crimean War; in both instances against the Muslims. These experiences gave him ample opportunity to observe the structure of Islamic society. Churchill’s quotes were taken from the volume: Sir Winston Churchill; “The River War”, first edition, Volume II, pages 248-250, published by Longmans, Green Company, 1899.
    If Sir Winston were alive today, it is doubtful that a person in Great Britain criticizing Islam publicly could be arrested, and then fined or jailed, and even more doubtful that any Muslims would be sitting in the English Parliament!

    To Bigdog's point that is true and I just had that discussion this morning. Let's look at ExxonMobil. They are "expanding" in the Woodlands with a multibillion campus that will bring about 8,000 additional jobs to the Houston area. From what I heard, they could be spending $10 billion on an expansion of the refinery in Beaumont but it will only provide, lets say no more than 100 permenant jobs. Yes the 4 years or so of construction jobs in the area are a really good shot inthe arm and it does create other spinoff permanant jobs. Still very good news!
