Issues Quotations | Page 24

There are no issues that cannot be resolved through dialogue and compromise on the basis of existing legislation and the constitution,

There are potential ineffective assistance of counsel issues that the judge is going to have to look at. If they didn't do all that because they thought the case was so bogus that they didn't need to prepare, that's an issue of competency. Because even if you think it's bogus, you need to prepare.

There is a professional business approach to dealing with issues and concerns. Yes, these people have made their point, ... I think it's now time to end the blockade and get down to the table to discuss what the real issues are with the customers that they serve.

People say that being a vegan creates a social problem in that others may react negatively. But isnt that the case if you take a principled position on any issue, whether its racism, sexism, heterosexism, violence as a general matter—or speciesism? The key is to educate others about *why* you take the position.

Terrorism is always one bad day away from being issue No. 1.

I was depressed, but that was a side issue. This was more like closing up shop, or, say, having a big garage sale, where you look at everything you've bought in your life, and you remember how much it meant to you, and now you just tag it for a quarter and watch 'em carry it off, and you don't care. That's more like how it was.

Yes, I've been cussed at, fussed at and figuratively beaten around the ears, but after eight years in this job, after seeing America, I know two things...

We hope to make clear the ways in which dialectical and metaphysical issues necessarily figure in the subject of motivation. Our speculations, as we interpret them, should show that the subject of motivation is a philosophic one, not ultimately to be solved in terms of empirical science.

We hope to see European Union plays a more important role on issues pertaining to Europe and the world as a whole,

We're anticipating having cap issues once that final number is determined.

It's two people that are in love with one another. What's the issue?

A lot of my friends they call me 'the therapist'. They come to me looking for advice. I must be doing something right because they keep coming back. But I'm not very good at kind of looking into my own world and trying to pick apart what is really wrong and fix those things. I like to kind of shy away from certain issues and turn away.

Until the day I die, or until the day I can't think anymore, I want to be involved in the issues that I care about.

I don't think that the economy can absorb a massive flow of immigration that does not relate to the issue of persecution.

I believe that Streamline should be part of our toolbox of things that we use at the border. And there needs to be a variety of things that we use at the border to get the most effective enforcement strategy. And so really it's a resource issue more than anything else.

Well, you know, I think in conversations with members of the Senate and others, they all recognize that the issue of immigration is important. It's important to our nation, it's important to our public safety, it's important to our security, it's important to our economic well-being moving forward. And it's not something that's going to go away.

Nonetheless, to the extent that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it's been across the Canadian border. There are real issues there.

It often seems to me that the biggest single issue for a writer is how to stay buoyant enough to go on writing. How not to drown.

A lot of people dont understand how cargo coming into our ports matters, not just to Southern California but to every single congressional district. I want to educate on that issue.

I think a loaded weapon aboard an airplane, whether its in the cargo section or in your overhead baggage, is a security issue.

I don't have a problem talking about Medicare or Medicaid or some other very important issue.

People judge you because of your weight and your food issues. It's very visual.

The fascinating thing about food is that if you have issues with it, you have to face it every single day.

The issue of poverty is not a statistical issue. It is a human issue.

The first thing that you need to deal with is the issue of equity and poverty.

I think that there's a liberal element out there that finds me not acceptable. They don't like my stance on a lot of issues because I am conservative.

We ran the floor and scrapped and played hard that whole first half. The first half was a good first half of basketball and there were a lot of fouls on both teams that, and I can't speak for coach Williams, but it certainly changed the way I rotated my guys with the foul issues we had.

We're addressing issues as they come up. Putting processes and procedures in place to make sure they don't happen again.

The first issue that compelled me was a very strange split between India being highly development scientifically (we were the third biggest scientific manpower in the world then) and yet at the same time struggling with amazing poverty. The linear equation that says that modern science equals progress and the reduction of poverty did not apply to India. It wasn't working.

The people who see the population explosion in the Malthusian way - as a geometric progression - forget that population growth is not a biological issue. People are not increasing in numbers out of stupidity and ignorance. Population growth is an ecological phenomenon linked very intimately to other issues, such as the usurpation of the resources which allow people to live.

I think we have reached a stage now where we need to find solutions to economic injustice in the same place and in the same ways that we find solutions to sustainability. Sustainability on environmental grounds and justice in terms of everyone having a place in the production and consumption system - these are two aspects of the same issue. They have been artificially separated and have to be put back again in the Western way of thinking.

Population control is not an issue involving contraceptives for third world women. It is an issue of ecological justice.

Today the environmental movement has become opposed to issues of justice. You can see this in the way issues are framed. It's a permanent replay of jobs-versus-the-environment, in nature-versus-bread. These are extremely artificial dichotomies.

When the wilderness movement emerged, it emerged separate from the issue of social inequality and the economic problems of survival. It was a preservationist ecology movement created by an occupying culture. Clearly, a wilderness movement started by Native Americans would not have had the same roots.

This was not a meeting about apologies and the like. This was a meeting designed to address the legitimate issues that Sen. Coleman had. And the meeting did that.

This was a safe speech. You don't go into a convention to talk about the issues that divide us.

This will not be an instant book, ... This event touches upon so many important issues that it deserves thoughtful treatment from someone, like Horne, who experienced it first hand and can vividly capture each moment, but also has the ability and access to provide the critical long view.

We are going to isolate countries where these safety issues are a concern. The stigma that Africa carries leads people to fly non-African airlines and thereby deprive our airlines of opportunities to grow and expand.

We did expect that and are aware of the school's limited facilities. Superintendent Norris has made this a priority and is addressing the situation. We anticipate we will have at least some of the issues involving the science labs resolved this fall.

We did have some component shortage issues that we believe are behind us.

We did not have in the past few days any meetings of the coordinating committee as there were no issues on the table and this is a comfort factor for IOC.

We are not aware of any mold issue in this school today, and the school was inspected this morning by Health Services for the system and no issues were found.

You are here to step into the shoes of UN ambassadors - to draft resolutions, to plot strategy, to negotiate with your allies as well as your adversaries. Your goal may be to resolve a conflict, to cope with a natural disaster or to bring nations together on an issue like climate change. You may be playing a role, but you are also preparing for life. You are acting as global citizens.

Violence against women continues to persist as one of the most heinous, systematic and prevalent human rights abuses in the world. It is a threat to all women, and an obstacle to all our efforts for development, peace, and gender equality in all societies. Violence against women is always a violation of human rights; it is always a crime; and it is always unacceptable. Let us take this issue with the deadly seriousness that it deserves.

The basic building block of peace and security for all peoples is economic and social security, anchored in sustainable development. It is a key to all problems. Why? Because it allows us to address all the great issues-poverty, climate, environment and political stability-as parts of the whole.

Climate change has happened because of human behaviour, therefore it’s only natural it should be us, human beings, to address this issue. It may not be too late if we take decisive actions today.

Now, more than ever, we need to connect the dots between climate, poverty, energy, food and water. These issues cannot be addressed in isolation.

Individual heterosexual women came to the movement from relationships where men were cruel, unkind, violent, unfaithful. Many of these men were radical thinkers who participated in movements for social justice, speaking out on behalf of the workers, the poor, speaking out on behalf of racial justice. However when it came to the issue of gender they were as sexist as their conservative cohorts.

Loving friendships provide us with a space to experience the joy of community in a relationship where we learn to process all our issues, to cope with differences and conflict while staying connected.

I take issue with many people's description of people being "Illegal" Immigrants. There aren't any illegal Human Beings as far as I'm concerned.

We have a long way to go, some tough issues ahead of us, and I'm sure there will be some obstacles in the path ... But the good faith effort that's being put into this absolutely is encouraging to me and gives me hope.

Justice [Sandra Day] O'Connor has been the critical decisive vote on many issues that go to the heart of who we are as a nation.

Illinois Senator Paul Simon, once said "The test for a Supreme Court nominee is not where he stands on any one specific issue. The test is this: Will you use your power on the court to restrict freedom or expand it"?

We are dealing with the question of the 11 million people paying their taxes, having a path to legalization and, then, ultimately, to citizenship - tough issues, but we are coming together and I think we can do it.

There is also the issue of personal privacy when it comes the executive power. Throughout our nation's history, whether it was habeas corpus during the Civil War, Alien and Sedition Acts in World War I, or Japanese internment camps in World War II, presidents have gone too far.

I have thought about this issue of abortion time and again. It is not an easy issue for most people.I came to believe over the years that a woman should be able to make this agonizing decision with her doctor and her family and her conscience, and that we should be very careful that we don't make that decision a crime except in the most extreme circumstances.

That’s just silly. Closing a global business in reaction to single-issue national politics is foolish.

Their [American banks] big issue will be if they want to deal with the biggest companies, which are doing a lot of business overseas. How they do that is a big question. It's almost impossible to build a global investment bank from scratch. If they want to do that, they probably will have to do an acquisition.

I always tell people, "There's a book on everyone." I get some of that book before I do anything. If I want to deeply understand someone's reputation, I'll talk to their friends, their former bosses, their peers, and I'll learn a lot about them. I want them to be trusted. I want them to be respected. I want them to give a s - -. Then there are the intangibles: physical and emotional stamina, the ability to confront issues. I can ask all I want about those things, but I also have to see a lot of it.

At Travelers, we were much more opportunistic. It was very successful, but it wasn't an integrated financial services company. We had a property casualty company, a life company, a brokerage company. We were a financial conglomerate. It wasn't a unified, coordinated strategy of any sort. When it merged with Citi, that became a big issue; Citi, at that time, wasn't yet a fully integrated, coordinated company.

They'll [China] probably be a fully developed nation. The road there just is not going to be that easy. You're going from a macromanaged, top-down economy to a market-managed, micromanaged type of economy, with all the potential corruption issues, SOE [state-owned enterprise] reform, and market reform that come with it.

Look, in any system, you want highly ethical people who really understand issues to form policies and make tough decisions. You need all the right people in the room. But there's a general view in Washington now by many politicians that if you ever were on this side, you're conflicted for being on that side.

One of the issues with some of these lenders is going to be, where will their provider of credit be when there's a crisis? That's why some of these smarter services, to support their operations, are courting more permanent capital. They want a source of longer-term funding that can survive a crisis.

What is a great man who has made his mark upon history? Every time, if we think far enough, he is a man who has looked through the confusion of the moment and has seen the moral issue involved; he is a man who has refused to have his sense of justice distorted; he has listened to his conscience until conscience becomes a trumpet call to like-minded men, so that they gather about him, and together, with mutual purpose and mutual aid, they make a new period in history.

There are two separate issues at hand. Should we build the municipal parking lot and what's going to happen to the Hall House.

This (prisoners' issue) will be one of the major agenda item of the New Delhi talks, which will also focus on other issues such as cooperation in counter-terrorism.

This proves to me that there is still a lot of competition in the marketplace and, particularly, that SAP does not have a lock on the market. What this says is that there's a lot of issues in a competitive deal and that the market system still works for enterprise software.

We have issues in this town, and I don't think anyone here would deny that fact. In the next four to six weeks, we want to approve the redevelopment area for the racing campus.

We have issues like litter and potholes and crime that I think are a lot more important.

We have issues on jury selection and evidence.

We have a range of candidates who are bedded in their local constituencies over quite a long period of time, who are working on a whole range of social and economic issues as well as the big national question, as well as the peace process, as well as the whole issue of Irish unity -- so we're going to do well,

We have a range of candidates who are ... working on a whole range of social and economic issues

If I am traitor, who did I betray? I gave all my information to the American public, to American journalists who are reporting on American issues. If they see that as treason, I think people really need to consider who they think they're working for. The public is supposed to be their boss, not their enemy.

We're growing in our efforts and abilities to work on multiple issues at once. Ultimately, we will prevail, but there are a lot of obstacles in the way. We need to educate people and elect more fair-minded representatives.

We're having an internal discussion with the Christ Hospital board and hoping to resolve the issues internally.

We're having some personal problems amongst the team. When you have a 25-30-man squad, 10 percent of those kids are going to have problems. It just seems that this year we have a little more than usual. These are issues that college student athletes have and we're going to have to address them.

We are talking about the issues and that, to me, is progress -- trying to see if we can find some areas of agreement,

We are talking about the same issues and in many cases the same players as before.

Difficult situations require compassion, level-headedness & the empathy to see issues from somebody else's perspective.

A great many college graduates come here thinking of lawyers as social engineers arguing the great Constitutional issues.

In quantum mechanics there is A causing B. The equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. The real issue is that the kinds of things you predict in quantum mechanics are different from the kinds of things you predict using general relativity. Quantum mechanics, that big, new, spectacular remarkable idea is that you only predict probabilities, the likelihood of one outcome or another. That's the new idea.

So many people have asked me how I could possibly be a role model and dress like a tramp and get implants... all I have to say is that self-esteem is how you look at yourself and I feel good enough about myself so wear that kind of clothing... the breast implant issue has nothing to do with that...

As a mother, the one thing that always goes through your head is, You're never enough. You never can be enough - or do enough - for your kids. It's a never-ending issue for me.

I take criticism so seriously as to believe that, even in the midst of a battle in which one is unmistakably on one side against another, there should be criticism, because there must be critical consciousness if there are to be issues, problems, values, even lives to be fought for... Criticism must think of itself as life-enhancing and constitutively opposed to every form of tyranny, domination, and abuse; its social goals are noncoercive knowledge produced in the interests of human freedom.

I am for peace. And I am for a negotiated peace. But this accord is not a just peace.

The central fact for me is, I think, that the [role of the] intellectual... cannot be played without a sense of being someone whose place it is publicly to raise embarrassing questions, to confront orthodoxy and dogma (rather than to produce them), to be someone who cannot easily be co-opted by governments or corporations, and whose raison d'etre is to represent all those people and issues that are routinely forgotten or swept under the rug.

It is very easy to make wild generalizations about Islam. All you have to do is read almost any issue of The New Republic and you'll see there the radical evil that's associated with Islam, the Arabs as having a depraved culture, and so forth. These are impossible generalizations to make in the United States about any other religious or ethnic group.
