These are not Shia children. They are children of Shia parents. Such abuse would traumatise any child. I hope they don't grow up to inflict this on their own children. Unfortunately due to the indoctrination and violence that children of Muslim parents receive, they will probably become brutal adults or terrorists.

The result will be announced at around 1pm Thai time on Friday. The result may be announced earlier if the vote is not as close as expected.

There will be a wave of refugees coming to England. Those who are too old to flee will suffer the most.

The Scottish banks are guaranteed by the Bank of England but would not be after independence.

In most countries of the world the issue of banknotes is handled exclusively by a single central bank or government, but in the United Kingdom seven retail banks have the right to print their own banknotes in addition to the Bank of England; sterling banknote issue is thus not automatically tied in with one national identity or the activity of the state. The arrangements in the UK are unusual, but comparable systems are used in Hong Kong and Macao, where three and two banks respectively issue their own banknotes in addition to their respective governments. The Bank of England does act as a central bank in that it has a monopoly on issuing banknotes in England and Wales, and regulates the issues of banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Pounds issued by Crown Dependencies and other areas are regulated only by local governments and not the Bank of England. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banknotes_of_the_pound_sterling

Many people died because of his lateness in coming to the peace table.

Napolean couldn't do it. Hitler couldn't do it. If Cameron's policies end the UK, he will surely lose power at the general election in May.

A yes vote would embolden the separatists in Northern Ireland who may resort to breaking the peace. There is some evidence that the 1 in 10 Scots who are Catholic fear independence because their freedom of religion would not be guaranteed by the Scottish Protestant majority.

In UK national elections the Scots always return Labour party MPs. Currently the Conservatives have only 1 out of 19 seats. But because the south east of England is more populous the Scots usually end up with a Conservative government. David Cameron with his austerity for the sake of it and unpopular policies like the bedroom tax has alienated the Scots and driven them to seek independence. There is a long history of London based Conservative governments treating the Scots like dirt. Margaret Thatcher introduced the hated poll tax in Scotland a year before the rest of the UK had to suffer it, even though most Scottish seats were Labour at the time.

This is all the fault of UK Prime Minister David Cameron.

Congress changed the oath in 2013. When the airman first enlisted he'd have sworn a different oath. Article VI of the Constitution prohibits requiring religious tests to hold an office or public trust. Forcing the airman to swear to a supreme being as a condition of his reenlistment is tantamount to a ‘religious test’ and is therefore violative of this constitutional provision as well.

The US is now a theocracy An atheist airman at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada was denied reenlistment last month for refusing to take an oath containing “so help me God,†the American Humanist Association said Thursday. And in a Sept. 2 letter to the inspectors general for the Air Force and Creech, Monica Miller, an attorney with the AHA’s Apignani Humanist Legal Center, said the airman should be allowed to reenlist without having to swear to a deity, and instead given a secular oath. Miller said the AHA is prepared to sue if the airman is not allowed to reenlist. According to the AHA, the unnamed airman was told Aug. 25 that the Air Force would not accept his contract because he had crossed out the phrase “so help me God.†The airman was told his only options were to sign the religious oath section of the contract without adjustment and recite an oath concluding with “so help me God,†or leave the Air Force, the AHA said. That is unconstitutional and unacceptable, the AHA said. “The government cannot compel a nonbeliever to take an oath that affirms the existence of a supreme being,†Miller said. “Numerous cases affirm that atheists have the right to omit theistic language from enlistment or reenlistment contracts.†Creech officials referred inquiries to Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Officials at Nellis referred questions to Air Force public affairs officers at the Pentagon, who had not confirmed the incident by Thursday night. The AHA’s letter also called attention to a quiet update last year of Air Force rules governing reenlistments, which now require all airmen to swear an oath to God. Air Force Instruction 36-2606 spells out the active-duty oath of enlistment, which all airmen must take when they enlist or reenlist and ends with “so help me God.†The old version of that AFI included an exception: “Note: Airmen may omit the words ‘so help me God,’ if desired for personal reasons.†That language was dropped in an Oct. 30, 2013, update to the AFI. The relevant section of that AFI now only lists the active-duty oath of enlistment, without giving airmen any option to choose not to swear an oath to a deity. “Reciting ‘So help me God’ in the reenlistment and commissioning oaths is a statutory requirement under Title 10 USC 502,†Air Force spokeswoman Rose Richeson said Thursday. AFI 36-2606 “is consistent with the language mandated in 10 USC 502. Paragraph 5.6 [and] was changed in October 2013 to reflect the aforementioned statutory requirement and airmen are no longer authorized to omit the words ‘So help me God.’ †The Air Force said it cannot change its AFI to make “so help me God†optional unless Congress changes the statute mandating it. Miller pointed out that Article VI of the Constitution prohibits requiring religious tests to hold an office or public trust. “Forcing [the airman] to swear to a supreme being as a condition of his reenlistment is tantamount to a ‘religious test’ and is therefore violative of this constitutional provision as well,†Miller said. Miller also said that swearing an oath the airman does not believe in would be dishonest. “This airman shows integrity, commitment to the nation, and respect for religion in standing firm for a secular oath that reflects his true values and intentions,†said Jason Torpy, president of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers and a board member of the AHA. http://www.airforcetimes.com/article/20140904/NEWS05/309040066/Group-Airman-denied-reenlistment-refusing-say-help-me-God-
