Not if he wasn't in uniform at the time or working at the time. Thank you for posting btw. Article 89 doesnt make any allowance on or off duty. |

It is not a first amendment issue...
He signed up for the armed forces so he has to respect a superior officer. According to Article II, Section 2, Clause I of the Constitution, the President of the United States is commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces.[12] The current commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces is Barack Obama, the 43rd person to hold the position. So, regardless of any leanings, the law of the land must be exercised. Including Military Police stepping in. Punitive Articles of the UCMJ Article 89—Disrespect toward a superior commissioned officer “Any person subject to this chapter who behaves with disrespect toward his superior commissioned officer shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.” You can read more about what this means HERE People also try to debate that the President is not an officer. However, as commander-in-chief he has officer status. Being a commander-in-chief of the armed forces makes you the highest ranking officer but not at an officer's pay. Anything else regarding obama's character is Ad Hominem fallacy without regard to the law. |

Wow I agree. I can definately identify with it.
Sometimes the troubles and insecurities our partner has are so extreme we can almost feel crushed by them. |

shhhhhh! Let her take her time. Sometimes it's good to ride out the pain. welcome to mingle, have fun making friends Thats exactly it. I've felt it a few times and you can't just think it away. Just have to ride it out. Counseling helps btw. Recently relocated because my wife was way to possessive, controlling but that is life... We live and live some more. Make misteaks and then some. Learn and grow. I hope you find that special someone who is just right for you. |

What we seek we find.
Every thought, every hind. Follows us in every kind. Flowing from the light we find. At each step we realize our needs. We find our equal each time seeking their needs. Continuing we discard or digress our needs, ebb and flow with our growth. Not as far as we can throwth. We find, at each turn our equal. Time passes and we grow. Overcoming the obstacles we were meant to. Experiences spent, chains accrued. We sometimes find the person we met not wanting to. Experiences shared, a time not lost. Sometimes we find a rarety, an abusive frost. We find ourselves a wealth of people shared. A life that cannot be compared. Which flows from within a light bright shining, intentionally shrouded from those who might squander it. Life riddled with questions from inconsistancies found. We keep seeking and finding. For everything found, I am grateful for. For everything lost, I am thankful. For what has happened has made me the man I am. Through the constant hurdles I have always found wonderful people. Even if they became worse, it helped me to keep on going. Constantly seeking the feeling from within, I search the passions of others with my heart. Hopefully finding the one with which we can share: The blinding light within. [/the end] |

"After measuring alpha in around 300 distant galaxies, a consistency emerged: this magic number, which tells us the strength of electromagnetism, is not the same everywhere as it is here on Earth, and seems to vary continuously along a preferred axis through the universe," Professor John Webb from the University of New South Wales said. It is interesting that we think arrogantly that laws are set and fixed. What else is not? |

Hello from Virginia Beach.

Hi! I recently moved here from South Dakota.
So far I have had a warm welcome here in Virginia Beach. I can talk about just about anything except sports, of course my likes are on my profile. Enjoying life and hoping to find someone who is as passionate about living life and a healthy one as I am. Adventure and fun is nice too. |

How about Nikkoli Tesla? He invented ahead of his time and pioneered many new concepts and thoughts?

Let's talk about judgment...
|

In my experience judgement is fundamentally flawed.
People have either already experienced the object of Judgement... Or they are using judgement for a possible future event. So, what I am saying is that there can be many many outcomes. We all choose by our actions but in the end we experience everything. I choose to be a surfer scientist only in the respect that I ride out the emotions as they come and try to make it better. We all experience life in our own way and should. Getting caught in the mental circles of whuda, coulda, shoulda detracts me from catching those waves. :D |

Non-Dual Awareness
|
|
The concept that mankind thinks in terms of what he or she can know or define. This means that humans don't generally think in terms of varying degrees of wet or dry unless they have learned or realized the ability to do so. The other way is child like people who have not learned the things that require them to define their reality or by unlearning these set patters to realize that a desk is not just a desk but everything it is made of or used for.
Thats to wet your curiosity for the discussion. At this point you can stop reading if this has become too much or does not interest you. A better understanding of Non-duality in its complexity can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondualism Non-duality is a recent coined term and yet exists in many schools of thought. The larger part is that most human perception with regards to human physical senses are flawed. For example, blind men that encounter an elephant and argue endlessly about what it is based on their experiences. As for non-physical senses, debate could abjectly ensue. The question is if one has not realized or learned such, could they be only their experience? Or is non-duality only another experience therby proving it as a different model? Implications anyone? |
