Comments for Czech President Pushes for Amendment to Lisbon Treaty at http://www.jbs.org , comment 1 to 5 out of 5 comments http://www.jbs.org Sun, 21 Mar 2010 06:57:55 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5543-czech-president-pushes-for-amendment-to-lisbon-treaty#comment-2691 Yup. I looked at the author's background. I know Lutherans aren't what you're trying to paint them with here. Nice try at an ad hominem argument, though; it sure beats dealing with the substance of the article. Maybe if you stamp your feet some more it will all just go away? - Nicholas Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:05:32 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5543-czech-president-pushes-for-amendment-to-lisbon-treaty#comment-2690 Sinigagl, Your astute comments fall on deaf ears. The people who write these articles on JBS and most of the readers subscribe to an ideological absolutist view of the world that isn't about evaluating evidence, being objective, or a good critical thinker but rather about only seeking information and opinions that confirm their own belief system. Just look at this "author"'s background and ask what is the motivation for an evangelical christian with a belief in the End Times to write about the European Union. - WoshJ Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:46:05 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5543-czech-president-pushes-for-amendment-to-lisbon-treaty#comment-2686 I was skeptical of this man. but perhpas he's genuine. That would be refreshing. Nevertheless, we must keep in mind that the Bible says there WILL be a world government and it will be EVIL 'til it is destroyed by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. We may be able delay it, but it will come and it won't be pretty. - DDW Mon, 26 Oct 2009 06:02:04 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5543-czech-president-pushes-for-amendment-to-lisbon-treaty#comment-2685 This article is funny. Czech government was at the table when the Lisbon Treaty was drafted and they didn't said anything about an opt-out that they coud have. Lisbon Treaty has been ratified by 27/27 parliament and signned by 26/27 heads of state: do you think that is fair if 1 man can bloc the decision of 26 states + the government of his state? That's ridicolous. Do you think that could be possible in any parliament to stop a bill only by 1 person? I don't think so: in these case you use the majority principle. In an agreement you can stay in or out you can agree or disagree. If Czech republic doesn't like the treaty why they don't stay out when the other 26 states wants to go on? - sinigagl Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:46:10 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5543-czech-president-pushes-for-amendment-to-lisbon-treaty#comment-2684 "Slovakia's demand also annoyed European officials, particularly because it had fully ratified the treaty." Funny, isn't it. When a country says "no" to some plot like the EU, the answer is never final. The issue will come up again and again, sometimes unchanged, sometimes repackaged. But the issues always reappear. When a country, in a moment of weakness, finally caves in and says "yes", the "yes" becomes final. It's like joining the Mafia. You can say "no" countless times, but once you're in, there is no way out. The Copenhagen treaty could very well be one of those one way streets. Once you start down the road, there is no turning back. - RP Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:23:07 +0100
