by Terry ini know about it and i'll explain the reason why.it has to do with terrorism and hate speech!________________________.
in researching my book about jehovah's witnesses, (i wept by the rivers of babylon) i studied many supreme court cases jehovah''s witnesses were fighting during the 1940's.. one such case is: 1942 supreme court ruling chaplinsky v. new hampshire.. if you had to use just two words to describe this case those two words would be: fighting words.. __________________________.
a jw street preacher incited his fellow citizens to riot against him by insulting everything they held dear: their god, their religion, their government, and their flag.. (that doesn't surprise you, does it?:).

Here is what is interesting to me about this application of precedent.
The offense can only take place inside the mind of another person!
By deciding to be 'offended' I can curtail your right to say the thing which offends me!
If this isn't arbitrary, capricious, and whimsical--I don't know how else to characterize it.
It is not that different from saying "sexual harassment" is whatever causes another person to feel 'harrassed.'
This circumvents the necessity of DEFINING something specifically.
In other words, Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder and Fighting Words are whatever make somebody want to fight.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are in the news today--and nobody seems to know about it. I know about it and I'll explain the reason why.
It has to do with TERRORISM and HATE SPEECH!
________________________In researching my book about Jehovah's Witnesses, (I WEPT BY THE RIVERS OF BABYLON) I studied many Supreme Court cases Jehovah''s Witnesses were fighting during the 1940's.
One such case is: 1942 Supreme Court ruling Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire.
If you had to use just two words to describe this case those two words would be: FIGHTING WORDS.
__________________________
A JW street preacher incited his fellow citizens to riot against him by insulting everything they held dear: their God, their Religion, their government, and their flag.
(That doesn't surprise you, does it?:)
Anyway. . .
A precedent was established in that ruling which amounts to this: There are some things IF SAID will cause people to want to hurt you. These things are FIGHTING WORDS.
What does that 1942 precedent have to do with TODAY'S NEWS?
Read on. . .
______________________In Texas, where I reside, a contest to DRAW THE PROPHET MUHAMMED was being held in a suburb of Dallas and some radical Islamic terrorists showed up with automatic weapons, firing indiscriminately into the crowd. Local police sent them quickly to Paradise and 72 virgins.
A New York politician's son, named Chris Cuomo (TV News guy) spoke up about the cartoon contest and called it "HATE SPEECH" and said it was not protected by the Constitution because of---(he cited the Chaplinsky ruling about Fighting Words.)

The purpose of a NAME is to make an additional distinction for clarity.
The genuine, essential difference between BAAL (meaning LORD) and ADONAI (meaning LORD) requires further differentiation--does it not?
If I'm illiterate and need to sign a contract, it is legal for me to "make my mark" by affixing an X on the signature line.
That X represents ME.
That's not the same thing as the NAME by which I am known and called by those who know me. (i.e. TERRY).
X doesn't need to be pronounced to be a legal mark on my contract.
If all X's represent gods, how do we further distinguish the REAL X from the imagined (and thus false) X gods?
________________
Let us be honest . . .
to speculate what MAY or may NOT have been done (pronouncing god's name) in Jesus' day isn't evidence. It isn't fact. It isn't recorded history. Intellectual honesty requires we stick to what can be verified historically.

A 45 minute delay due to the demands of Pay-per-view at the last minute. (The usual illegal venues have been shut down).

Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?
by PokerPlayerPhil init's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.
in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.
you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

There is a huge difference between a cause and its effect calling for proportional action, and a pretext.
A PRETEXT is the reason given in justification of a course of action that is not the real reason.
If there is a wrong to be righted, then the goal is to right the wrong--not create new wrongs.
But, if the goal is to act out and punish indiscriminately, the pretext is merely the excuse.
These communities suffering mob violence are communities without social boundaries, personal respect, or genuine human solidarity. Anarchy finds its birth in the breakdown of social norms beginning with FAMILY.
Broken families without boundaries are chaotic and breed chaos.
End of story.

Nothing is certain in this 'sport' where a man like Buster Douglas, whose mother had died recently, beat the living cream cheese out of the human killer whale, Mike Tyson in Tokyo.
Psychology is part of the human being, and it is fragile, unpredictable, and potent. Mayweather is a 'troubled' soul. He really needs this fight for the money. Those attorney fees are astronomical. I really don't think he actually __wants__to fight Manny Pacquio. Mayweather knows what sort of man lives inside Pacquio's soul.
The possibilities for this fight have been examined by the experts on laying odds. The science of numbers has spoken. But, on this planet, on this night, with these two men. . . it isn't numbers which determine the outcome. No. No way.
If this 'sport' really is as corrupt as Don King has proven it to be in the past, the ideal outcome will call for 3 fights. A close call would demand it. This, followed by another close call the opposite way, and finally the rubber match. Milk those dollars while you can--eh wot?
If there is integrity in the fight game (I did say 'if') Manny will pull off an upset. But, Mayweather is formidable.
So, there you have it--I don't know and neither does anybody else.
I would be satisfied with a definitive knockout. G'nite Floyd. Dream the dream of Kings.
