lo country

I am N! Sounds like a great read. Maybe required reading for current and future Huskers!?

Really? If you were only talking about what you've classified as "moral issues" why did you choose to include "raising taxes on the wealthy?" Just showing "hot button topics" if you will. People have certain opinions, moral, fiscal, personal etc they they feel strongly about and will try to advance their beliefs (agendas). Just trying to show that we all do this hence including other areas other than moral (economics and Constitution). Not just Christians with moral issues, but everyone. The moral issues (agenda) are easier to see and what the thread was about.

Really?

http://www.pensitore...north-carolina/ http://www.pensitore...north-carolina/ The title of your article says it all. Expressing his Biblical views on Homosexuality is considered hate. That is my point exactly. If a Christian says anything that goes against the main stream media, based on the Bible it is hate speech.

Here you go: http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2013/May/Atheists-Seek-Pentagon-Crack-Down-on-Proselytizing/ Pentagon backing away http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/02/evangelical-pentagon-department-of-defense/2130583/ DOD blocks access to SBC http://townhall.com/columnists/toddstarnes/2013/04/25/military-blocks-web-access-to-southern-baptist-convention-n1578281 banned DOD installations Here is a whole list http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/army-email-labels-christian-ministries-as-domestic-hate-groups.html Oh, and the Bible John 15:18-21 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you... If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you... because they do not know Him who sent Me." John 16:1-4 “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. They will put you out of the synagogues [today it might be from churches]; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them." John 17:14-18 "I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one." Galatians 5:11 "And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased."

The problem of "not seeing other peoples' views" is more on the Christian end. The Christians tend to try to legislate their views onto the general population for 'their own good' which is not what the non-religious are doing. "Keep religion out of the law" is not the same thing. Christians are free to believe what they choose, but telling those not in their group how to behave is at issue. And honestly, Christians in this country donning the martyr cloak is getting old. Telling me to 'tolerate' their views while trying to legislate them on me is hypocrisy at its finest. To those inside, they will never see the hate coming from the Evangelicals. If you think the likes of Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson are tolerant... What they have said, on TV even, can't really be viewed in any other light. You don't see people decrying Islamic teachings here, because no one is shouting them on street corners, TV, Twitter, Facebook or any other host of media. If an Islamic group started pushing for women to have rights taken away, and start covering their heads in public, I assure you the backlash would be fierce. So how are you seeing the Christians view? Legislating morality? What about the Pentagon denying free speech? What hate has Billy Graham spoken? What hate did Jesus speak of in the Bible. You say that homosexuality is a sin, you are a homophobe. Pro life you are a right wing extremist. The left is tolerant of Christian views? Really? So believing in the truths of the Bible make you an extremist in your opinion? The martyr cloak of the Christians keeping me down is also getting old. So allowing late term abortions is not legislating the idea of someone elses morality or agenda? Gay marriage? Raising taxes on the wealthy? Gun control etc...... The list goes on on on. Both sides, what ever they may be do what they can to implement their policy. Do you really think that the advancement of Obama's policy are in line with Christianity? In regards to Islam, do you really think that they would be given the same scrutiny as Christians. You say there would be if they were preaching on the corners. Two fundamentalist Islamics kill 3 Americans and injure over 100 in Boston and barely a peep about Islam. Benghazi and it was blamed on a 6 month old video, not radical Islam. The DHS literature on terrorism barely mentions Islam. You really think they would be treated the same. Go ahead and have SNL mock Muhammad. To use your own words, being on the inside you can't even see the ideology of those you follow. Men are flawed............on both sides. It is a fallen world.

This^. The O looked pretty good last year despite the fumbles. The D on the other hand. If they can simply tackle in the open field, even if blown off the LOS it is worth at least 1-2 wins. Have the speed to actually not let a RB get the edge has to be worth at least another. A lot to ask when replacing basically the whole D.

So if Christians try to defend a position it is ridiculous. ie pointing out perceived persecution. I really think it depends on what side of the fence you are on. You can google all day and see where there is an alarming trend, IMO, to label Evangelical Christianity as hate speech. I do not see the same movement to limit Islamic teachings. That religion is no more hateful than Christianity. It is the fringe elements that are. No evangelical Christianity is not a fringe element. I really do not see that. BUT take your own opinions out of it and look at the issue, again IMO. Limit/defining speech is an attack on our fundamental rights to freedom of speech and religion. If the government or business world can define free speech in a manner to limit it, what else can they limit. Chic-Fil-A possibly denied building permits for their views o Homosexuality. What if the town mayor was pro gun and did not allow any anti-gun businesses to move in based upon their verbal and written statements? A mayor denies a business license to a company that supports LGBT issues etc.... Just like people arguing to ban guns yet are up in arms about the lack of Miranda for the Boston bomber or the warrantless searches, etc.....A limit on any Constitutional right can ultimately end up being a limit on others. Including the ones you choose to like and/or support. I have also seen statistics that have been posted identifying this nation as 77% Christian. I wish. There is a complete difference in identifying as a Christian and being one. A Huge difference. Religion vs Relationship. When one thinks of a Christian, IMO, it is a person who has salvation in Jesus. Billy Graham one time stated that approximately 15% of the church was actually saved (relationship with Jesus Christ). Other evangelists are slightly higher or lower. Huge difference than what people claim. Tolerance goes both ways. It is funny a Christian tries to defend a position and is openly mocked, ridiculed etc..... That isn't tolerance. Every group, right or wrong, can always find a way to put themselves on the receiving end. Look at comments in this section alone. Not a lot of tolerance or seeing other peoples views.

Just saw it come up today. Unsure if it was old or not. I have not seen it before. The questions appeared to come from after the spring game. Odd if it was old video with new questions. It is the off season............

Check out www.getrxd.com They make a piece called the Guillotine. Great reviews. Enables dips, pull ups, spotter arms and band work. Very nice. Shipping not too bad. Look at fringesports.com for plates and bars. Free shipping and free returns. Rogue Fitness. Great products. Made in the USA. roguefitness.com They have cages and squat racks. I got the S2 and it does everything I need. All the above pieces have like a 4x4 space. (Guillotine 4x6) Good luck. I enjoy working out at the house whenever the urge hits. Makes it easier with work and family.

Pretty honest Q&A with Beck. I like hearing that they are going to get guys on the field who can helps us win. Mentioned Newby and Talylor. Best hands go to Westerkamp. Really deep at WR. Said Armstrong will be #2. Says some obvious as well. To be great need to limit fumbles and penalties. Duh. Tackle and don't get blown off the line and we will have a great D! http://btn.com/2013/05/01/tim-beck-offense-could-be-one-of-best-in-country/ Refreshing to hear some honesty over coach speak.

Deleted. If others quit talking negatively about Christianity, I will not derail the thread with my opinion.

That's exactly what Bush I didn't do in the first Gulf War . . . The U.S. assembled a coalition of forces to join it in opposing Iraq's aggression, consisting of forces from 34 countries: Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Kuwait, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Portugal, Qatar, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Spain, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the U.S. itself.[69] U.S. Army General Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. was designated to be the commander of the Coalition forces in the Persian Gulf area. Maybe I am missing your comments, but the above list of 34 countries shows ME nations supporting in Operation Desert Storm. Bush 1 did get UN support and ME support to go against Iraq............It wasn't a lone US operation. Here is a link with countries and actual support provided..... http://www.desert-st...ar/nations.html Now if you are saying they didn't move to depose Saddam and topple his regime, I would agree. Check out the part that I had underlined in your quote and my comment. I'm not sure that I can make it any more clear than I did in my original post. Self delete.

Agree. On the tests that more aptly show "football" skills ie cone drill and shuttle, Rex was at the top 5 in all of those drills. Overall, Rex was top 5 in all drills (7 total) except for the 40 and bench press. You do not score that well, against that type of competition and not have the potential to be the featured back. I have Rex glasses, no doubt, but you cannot discount his on field performance or his combine results. He was a steal and will have success at the next level. http://www.nfl.com/combine/top-performers#year=2013&workout=VERTICAL_JUMP&position=RB

This. That is utter and complete BS. You lie to the government, it is a felony. They lie to you and its called politics.

That guy is the boss. Incredible story.

As much as I dislike the guy, this is true. His abilities will be a fire under the ass for the rest of the conference, at least until Brady or Bo start to beat him a couple times and he decides to try his luck in the Big 12 or Pac12. IIRC, Brady already has 5 of the top 150 for commits in 2014. Seem to also remember him saying some of the scholarships would be year to year. Agree with it lighting a fire. Good article about NU becoming great because of OU and trying to compete with the FL schools. TO upped his game to keep up with and ultimately beat the best. All scollies are year to year. T_O_B Saw where some, NU included, do the four years as does OSU now. Something like 8 of 10 B1G schools now do. Bama now complaining that it is a PR ploy to entice recruits. IIRC, SEC started with Auburn and UF wanting to go the 4 yr route as well in SEC. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7528614/some-big-ten-offering-4-year-scholarships http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2013/2/14/3986688/gumption-the-four-year-sham-and-sympathy-trolling

What does Ohio St's three players drafted say about them? The same things it did about the B1G as a whole. It appears to be one of the "lesser" conferences based upon those drafted. Purely subjective when looking only at the numbers drafted vs number drafted.

B and c don't make sense. How can we not have the player development and have great coaching. We have the coaching and they got the best out of the average talent we had. The classes and talent have gotten better and we should see some improvement on the field. Will it be national championship good? Probably not, but I think it will be close. Unless Stanton turns out to be the stud of the decade our current recruiting is going to get us close but IMO we need just a bit more, 2 or 3 years if we keep Beck. So ya a long way to go, but not bad. The list wasn't meant to be a) and b) and c). It was more of a collection of thoughts.

Here are some numbers that translate into results. SEC: 63 Non-FBS teams: 36 ACC: 30 Pac-12: 28 Marcus Lattimore and Jesse Williams were among the 63 SEC players taken in the NFL Draft. (AP Photo) Big 12: 22 Big East: 21 Big Ten: 20 Conference USA: 8 Independents: 7 MAC: 7 MWC: 7 Sun Belt: 4 The B1G overall looks horrible. Factor in we had as many guys as App state and one more than Elon............ Unsure what the hell the SEC does and how they do it/get away with it, but the NCAA needs to level the playing field or the rest of the country needs to change things up. Hard to argue with the likes of Bama, UGA, USC, UF, A&M, LSU etc and their results on the field as it relates to their draft picks. NFL talent, in this case, equates to wins at the college level.

Thanks for the updates. Any word on Maher? Might have missed it.

This draft showed several things or things one can infer: a) incredible lack of talent b) incredible lack of developing players c) great coaching in that we won 10 games d) the B1G is a horrific conference at best e) we have a long, long way to go Thoughts?

That's 2!
