Maybe its just something in the water in Carthage, not related to immigration status.

The death of a 5-month-old boy from Carthage more than a decade ago is now the subject of a murder investigation after officials said his father confessed Monday to smothering the child.
Panola County District Attorney Danny Buck Davidson said Terry Lamar Robinson, 38, confessed to being responsible for the the baby's 1995 death in Carthage. Robinson was working at a Pascagoula, Miss., shipyard when he made the confession.
Officials said Robinson told his co-workers he had killed his son, Jacolby Robinson, and asked them to call police.
Pascagoula Police Capt. Howard Butler said Robinson told the arresting officers that he had killed his son by smothering him with a pillow, and that he needed to confess because he could not live with the knowledge any longer.
"He said the demons were bothering him and he had to confess," Davidson said.
In 1995, the child was not breathing when he was brought to ETMC Carthage, Davidson said. There, physicians revived him, but declared him to be brain dead. The child was transferred to what was then Christus Schumphert Medical Center in Shreveport, where he was placed on life support for 21 days. He died after being taken off life support.
Robinson was reportedly baby-sitting the child when he was rushed to the hospital, officials said.
Davidson said the case had not been investigated because officials believed the death was the result of sudden infant death syndrome.
Davidson said he visited with the child's mother Tuesday, who has since remarried.
"She said she always had a gut feeling that something was not right. She still had the baby's pillow and some of his toys," Davidson said.
Robinson waived extradition. Wednesday, Panola County law enforcement officials were bringing Robinson back to Carthage, where he will face capital murder charges, Davidson said.
This is the second capital murder case in Carthage this week involving the death of a child.
Four-year-old Joey Zhang-Liu was found dead in his bed early Sunday morning. Rogerio Chaves Garcia, 27, was charged with capital murder after police said he confessed to the slaying.
The EEC was originaly form after WWII to help reconstructed Europe after the Hitler destroyed it.
Laterly the EU was formed as a Econonical trading entity, to provide Europe with a reliable source of supplies, where the EU has gone from those original ideals I am no longer sure, it seems to me that various countries ( mentioning no names, but NOT Poland ) are trying to take control, one way or another over the European continent. This to me, as an ex-Brit is a worry, I am sure the rest of the world is keeping a close eye on the ( so called ) allied countries within the EU.

Poland becoming a world power or economy in 10-20 years? You mean 'light years'- - what does Poland produce that the world wants? Cabbage? Does Poland make an exportable car? Airplane? Douche bag? (maybe) Is the Polish language going to become the next 'world language?' (on what planet?) Do more people speak (a) English or (b) Polish on planet Earth?(hint: it's not Polish) And Iperson, the EET, continues to bash America, but she won't give up her fraudulently obtained green card and return to Poland, the next major superpower of the world....I wonder why not?? (hint:hypocrisy & stupidity)

What makes you think it was elitist? Again, elected representatives under a democracy do not always have to listen to the populace. Classic example was the French Revolution in 1792. The populace were so full of envy that it even executed innocent childre n all because they were breast fed by royalty. Or we can look at FDR who carefully moved the US into a war stance with the Land-Lease act and having US destroyers escorting only British convoys.
quote:
Just what is your point? Your theory and two links provided, if anything, prove my points. The inclusion was great for Poland and other Eastern blocs. No doubt about that. The move was fantastic for corporations. I absolutely agree. It was good for them due to two factors: a lower cost and expanded market. However, there is a catch. The much of the pain and cost had to be shouldered by average French and German citizens. Corporations started laying off people. There are no longer job securities. Prior to it, getting laid off in Germany was virtually unheard of. Workers are forced to accept longer hours and lower wages.
To top it all, there was a bigger tax burden. All EU members are obligated to contribute to a common pot for developmental aid. Bigger and richer countries (i.e., Germany and France) are required to contribute more, while they receive nothing back because all the money goes to poorer countris (i.e., eastern blocs). That means Frenchs and Germans are forced to pay bigger tax while they get nothing in return. This was acutally the number one concern for Germans at the time.
Yes, but you seem to be ignoring the positive effects on Germany despite what the populace beleives. With Poland joining the EU as well as the other former Warsaw Pact states, it also opened up new markets for export because it forced policy shifts to allow such items. Of course, this study completely demolishes your argument. The economic liberalization, the increased potential of capital investment, the expansion of the labor market, and other effects have positive impact on Germany. It shifts the equilibriums to a more favorable economic position.
quote:
The whole deal meant awesome new opportunities for corporate and political elites and lower wages, longer hours, higher tax, and less job securities for average workers in Western Europe. The expansion was going to happen. But it happened too early before Poland and other eastern bloc countries were ready economically.
And who do you think corporations employ, Robots? Because European companies, as well as Asian, US, Latin American, Canadian, and African corporations are competing with each other both domestically and internationally, lowering wage costs keeps inflation down, durable and nondurable goods at reasonable prices, increases consumption which increases employment and tax revenues, which expands the size of the economy. Of course, we could have average wages at $1 million but the price of bread would be $75k. I don't think that is sound efficiently.

Thank you Hudson. I give up, amazed at just how people can't see the ideas and gains for all involved nations behind European Union. Or more so, I think they are threatened and trying to diminish the growing power of EU: the power of all of us, so to speak. Eeyore is even frightened, unnecessarily. But a good observation eeyore, what is actually going on comes very close to what Hitler envisioned for his Reich, only in a peaceful manner. Should have conquered Europe in civilized peaceful way as it is happening right now. But the shape Europe is taking is f.arthest from being an empire trying to take over the world just as the US is trying to do. I am proud to be a European and what is currently taking place in Europe. On the moral level as well, Europe is an antidotum against the evil imperialistic empire of the United States. I think you are angry because it is poking your eyes.

HAE? Ok, Iperson then explain to me- explain it like I would be 5 years old- why for heavens sake would a smart person like you, with your kind of education (who can work and live all over the world) choose to live in a “evil imperialistic empireâ€- as you call it?
Third, you said the Europeans like it that Poland is a part of the EU? Have you talked to a German lately? I would like to say more about that, but everything I would say would be considered “ racistâ€, so I will just keep it to myself.
Sure, go ahead. I'm listening. Tell me why is Holocaust suddenly flashing in front of my eyes???

You are welcome. I was speaking more on an economic level while you were speaking more on a cultural level. The EU is an example of the Guallistic legacy with a unified Europe. It is a direct result of WWII which a fractured Europe help lead to WWII and the inclusion of the Warsaw Pact and Nato. That is why you had the "Phony War" as Churchill put it between 1939 and 1940 before the invasion of France and why the day the Berlin Wall fell down resonate more with Europeans than Sept 11th with Americans.

Motive und Hauptstationen des europäischen Einigungsprozesses
Ziele und Handlungsmotive
Das von den Gründerstaaten nach den flächendeckenden Verwüstungen und Millionen Opfern im zweiten Weltkrieg formulierte gemeinsame Hauptziel des europäischen Einigungsprojekts, die Sicherung eines dauerhaften Friedens auf dem europäischen Kontinent, hat seine Aktualität bis heute nicht verloren. Die mit dem Auseinanderfallen des früheren Jugoslawien einhergegangenen ethnischen Auseinandersetzungen, Verfolgungen, Kriege und Kriegsfolgen gemahnen in tragischer Weise an die Aktualität des Hauptziels, der Friedenssicherung in Europa. Einer der profiliertesten Pro-Europäer unserer Zeit, der luxemburgische Premierminister Jean-Claude Juncker, hat dem folgendermaßen Ausdruck verliehen:
„Wer an der Europäischen Union zweifelt, soll einen Soldatenfriedhof besuchen.“
Heute sind drei Hauptmotive und Ziele als grundlegende und überdauernde Antriebsfaktoren des Integrationsprozesses der EU anzusehen:
·gemeinsames Interesse aller EU-Mitgliedstaaten, durch Integration in die supranationalen EU-Strukturen sowie eine gemeinsame Friedens- und Entwicklungspolitik über die EU hinaus weitere Kriege in Europa zu verhindern;
·Förderung von Wirtschaftswachstum und Wohlstand durch gemeinsame Märkte und Außenzölle;
· Selbstbehauptung eines politisch und wirtschaftlich geeinten Europas gegenüber den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und den aufstrebenden Staaten in Fernost, insbesondere seit den Wirtschaftsreformen in der Volksrepublik China.
Das Ziel der europäischen Selbstbehauptung unter den Bedingungen einer wirtschaftlich und politisch globalisierten Welt wird derzeit besonders herausgestellt. Mit der Einführung des Euro haben die an der Währungsunion beteiligten EU-Mitgliedstaaten neben dem US-Dollar und dem japanischen Yen eine neue globale Leitwährung etabliert. Aktualisiert wurde die ökonomische Zielbestimmung der EU durch die Lissabon-Strategie aus dem Jahr 2000, die vorsieht, Europa fortzuentwickeln zum „wettbewerbsfähigsten und dynamischsten Wirtschaftsraum der Welt, der fähig ist, ein dauerhaftes Wirtschaftswachstum mit mehr und besseren Arbeitsplätzen und einem größeren sozialen Zusammenhalt zu erzielen.“ Hierzu sollen die wirtschaftliche Lage und die Arbeits- und Lebensverhältnisse verbessert und wirtschaftliche Ungleichgewichte beseitigt werden. Innovation und Wissensgesellschaft bedürften dabei besonderer Berücksichtigung. Auch in diesem Zusammenhang tritt die EU für eine Reihe gemeinsamer Grundwerte ein, die jegliches politisches Handeln bestimmen sollen. Nach Art. 6 EUV sind dies Freiheit, Demokratie, Rechtsstaatlichkeit sowie die Menschenrechte und Grundfreiheiten. Zu ihnen müssen sich im Zuge der Kopenhagener Kriterien auch Beitrittskandidaten bekennen. Bei Verletzung dieser Grundsätze durch einen Mitgliedstaat kann der Rat mit einer Suspendierung der EU-Mitgliedschaft reagieren. Einheitliches Auftreten in außenpolitischen Fragen, eine koordinierte Migrations- beziehungsweise Zuwanderungspolitik und wirksamer Umweltschutz gehören ebenfalls zu den neueren Zielen der EU.
Since you seem to be so smart anyway I don’t think you will need any help translating it. And just a hint, when they talk about a political and economical unite Europe the talk about common foreign politics not domestic politics. About becoming one country… we will see, I understand that the less stabile countries like Poland would like that, but if it is up to the more stabile and contributing countries, it won’t happen.
I think Templar used a harsh word when he called it hand- outs, but at the end he is right. Poland is a Net- recipient, what means Poland receives more money from the EU than it pays dues. Are you going to argue about that to? Maybe you need to read more about that.
Here's the English version for anyone interested:
Motives and master stations of the European agreement process
Goals and motives for action
The common principal purpose of the European agreement project, whom safety device of a durable peace on the European continent, formulated by the founder states after surface covering devastations and millions victims in the Second World War, has its topicality until today not lost. The ethnical arguments, pursuits , wars accompanied with the falling apart earlier Yugoslavia and war sequences in accordance with-suspect in tragic way to the topicality of the principal purpose, the peacekeaping measures in Europe. One of the most formed pro Europeans of our time, which of Luxembourg prime ministers Jean-Claude Juncker, has that as follows expression lent:
„Who doubts, is the European union a soldier cemetery to visit. “
Today three main motives and goals are to be regarded as fundamental and outlasting drive factors of the process of integration of the European Union:
·common interest of all European Union member states to prevent by integration in the supranational European Union structures as well as a common peace and development policy beyond the European Union further wars in Europe;
·Promotion of economic growth and prosperity by Common Markets and external tariffs;
· Self statement one politically and economically geeinten Europe in relation to the United States of America and the rising states in the Far East, in particular since the restaurant reforms in the People's Republic of China.
The goal of the European self statement under the conditions of one economically and politically globalisierten world at present particularly one puts out. With the introduction of the euro the European Union member states beside the US Dollar and the Japanese Yen, taken part in the monetary union, established a new global key currency. The economic goal regulation of the European Union was updated by the Lisbon strategy from the year 2000, which plans, Europe to away-develop to „most competitive and most dynamic marketing area of the world, which is able to obtain a durable economic growth with more and better jobs and a larger social co-operation. “ For this are the economic situation and the work and living conditions to be improved and economic unequal weights to be eliminated. Innovation and knowledge company would require thereby special consideration. Also in this connection the European Union for a number of common basic values occurs , which are to determine any political acting. According to kind. 6 EUV are this liberty, democracy, right nationalness as well as the human rights and basic liberties. To them in the course criteria must profess themselves also entry candidates of the Kopenhagener. With injury of these principles by a member state the advice can react with a suspending of the European Union membership. Uniform occurrence in questions with regard to foreign policy, a coordinated migration and/or Zuwanderungspolitik and an effective environmental protection belong likewise to the newer goals of the European Union.
Yes, but you seem to be ignoring the positive effects on Germany despite what the populace beleives. With Poland joining the EU as well as the other former Warsaw Pact states, it also opened up new markets for export because it forced policy shifts to allow such items.

You just gave a link to a lengthy PDF file that provides a general overview of EU, and most of it is irrelavant to our debate. You must be desperately searching for any thing that's even remotely in line with your idea. The economic liberalization (bigger market), the increased potential of capital investment (more money for companies), the expansion of the labor market (cheaper labor) - all things good for corporations.

Basically, your argument is what's good for corporations are good for the country as a whole, a total capitalistic approach. Next, I suppose you'll be telling us about the virtue of trickle-down effect - support the rich gets richer and eventually the poor will benefit too. Too bad I don't buy it. It just makes a bigger gap bewteen have and have nots. I guess you subscribe to the economic principle preached by the hardcore Republican Party for decades.
Average people who just lost their jobs do not give rat's arse if corporate earnings hit new record. It makes them resentful of foreigners who took their jobs and be a cause of the resurgence of neo-nazis. http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2000/germany/stories/jackboot.ossis/
It was a premature move. Poland and other Eastern blocs should've been required to bring their economy up to a certain level before they were allowed to join in. Now it is seen as more or less free handout relation.

And that's where you lack knowledge of what Poland was required to do and what Poland has achieved so far sticking to all the deadlines, rules and laws it had to adopt before joining the Union. Poland was readying to become a EU member since 1991 and within 15 years Poland achieved much more than some Western countries within 50 years. Poland has achieved a steady economic growth and adheres to all EU standards. The economy is growing faster than anywhere in Europe. In a few years, I can't give you an exact date, Poland is going to be on par with other EU members. You don't speak templar on a subject you have limited biased knowledge about. You just throw your generalistic ideas out there and don't even care how ridiculous and uninformed you sound.
You are welcome. I was speaking more on an economic level while you were speaking more on a cultural level. The EU is an example of the Guallistic legacy with a unified Europe.

Defnitely. There is much more historical resonance in creating EU than meets the eye. For non-european eyes such as Templar's or even Vegado's (who btw should replace the avatar flag with a german one), the EU expansion is purely economic greed of corporations I never heard about. You have to either be European or simply be intersted in history to know that EU stands on a long winding road to where it's today and where it is going and why.
Just so you know, IPerson makes these kinds of comments more out of frustration than anything else.
You betya I am frustrated. It's time to end the boy sand box games of guns and power. It's time to question your leaders, their motivations and actions. It's time to end the era of imperialism which promotes racism, hatred and wars. It's time to build instead of wreaking havoc and destruction. It's time to mature into civilized societies working together and helping each other out. It's time for peace.
Iperson, I tell you again since you obviously didn’t understand it the first time: what Avatar I use is none of your business. I believe in what the EU stands for originally ( and NO it is not the United States of Europe), the trademarked and security within the borders of the EU.
You seem to have a limited capacity of what information you brain can take in…. I AM FROM GERMANY and even after Templar repeated himself several times you don’t seem to get it. Here this one is just for you: TEMPLAR IS FROM EUROPE. Got it now? So yes we do have the right to talk about it. Like everybody else does too. You are being hypocatic when you say non- Europeans have no right to talk about the EU, but at the same time you as a Non-US citizen take the right to talk about US politics. What’s up with that?
Also instead of answering my question why you chose to live in this “evil imperialistic empireâ€, you just throw the Holocaust in (since I am German) If I would have been a USC you would have thrown the Slavery or Iraq war in my face. This is usually something people do, when they run out of good arguments. Again, just for you since you seem to be slow in processing new information: I was not part of the holocaust, I was not born. My parents were not part of it either, because they were not born. My grandparents were not part of it, because they were kids during that time. So why in heavens sake would you throw that in my face? Because you know I am right and you have nothing but that to hold up for. That’s weak. I don’t say it was right what happened, but Germany paid its price, literally paid the price. It is over and the generation now has nothing to do with it. But while we talk about the Holocaust, what do you have to say about that Poland wanted to withdraw the polish Jews who fled from Germany their polish citizenship in 1938 so they would not have to take them in? Or did a asked a question again where you won’t answer?
I did throw the Holocaust in because of your insults. And why I live in the US is also none of your business. If you're really interested, go back to my previous posts and you'll find out why. I said many times I have nothing against the American nation, the people. Not against anyone in particular. Why do you assume that when I criticise the US, I am a hater of this country? I criticise my own country too for many things and I don't consider myself anti-patriotic. And I don't know why you think you are anti patriotic if you criticise your own country. That's a mystery to me.
I point out your hoard sheep thinking. You Germans especially are followers, which makes them easy to fool (hello Hitler). When I was in Germany, to be precise in Ulm, a small tiny town on the Danube river, I stood with a group of German people on the zebra waiting for the lights to change. I looked left and I looked right, and I saw no car in the distance, so I crossed the street. I turned my back to see the whole group of German people still standing, looking at me as if I just commited a crime. The law- the allmighty law you people follow sheepishly without using your brain. As Germans found out last century, sheepishness has its pitfalls and yet they don't learn. You don't trust your leaders for gawd sakes. You account them for every action, you discuss every law that is being passed in the Congress and you protest when something is going wrong. That's being a true patriot.
