Luxury Hosiery – Not Just For the Chosen Few…
First it was shoes, then bags… and now it seems that the great accessories upgrade has reached hosiery. It used to be that you'd spend the bulk of your budget on a killer outfit, buying cheap accessories after or reusing whatever you already had in your wardrobe. But now more and more women are opting to go for luxury when it comes to their accessories, and the trend has hit hosiery, with celebrities regularly being spotted in luxury brands like
Falke and Wolford tights.
We know it's a cliché, but with luxury hosiery you really do get what you pay for – you'll find that your hosiery looks nicer, feels better and lasts longer, and it's not as expensive as you might think, either. In fact, it's a relatively inexpensive way to add some high end style to your wardrobe and give your existing outfits a little lift.
If you're looking for sumptuous sheers, perhaps for that special occasion, we love the Wolford Fatal Lace 15 Seamless Tights. They just feel absolutely gorgeous and all of the design features blend together to produce something that really stands out in the world of hosiery. The seamless design means you get a clean silhouette under your clothes, the super soft hosiery feels really durable and something about the lace waistband just makes you feel extra special.
Those experiencing our rather drizzly summer might be on the lookout for a top quality opaque instead – in which case you can't go wrong with Falke tights. Falke is a German brand that produce consistently fantastic hosiery and not only do their Soft Merino Wool Tights look first class, they feel it too. Soft cotton on the inside means they are a dream to wear and the merino wool on the outside keeps you toasty warm through even the bitterest winter days.
The great thing about luxury hosiery is that you can afford to upgrade on your fashion as well as your basics. Both Falke and Wolford have beautiful seasonal fashion at the moment –and this week selected Wolford fashion is half price, so you can get a high end piece that's cheaper than some of your everyday fashion! Shop quickly though, as this offer ends on 8/8/12.

A 2008 cable released by WikiLeaks appears to laud Abbas for his role in securing the conviction of the officers, referring to an "influential blogger and human rights activist", though his name is redacted.
"We want to do everything we can to assist him in exposing police abuse," reads the cable. "'XXXXXXXXXXXXX' post of a video showing two policemen sodomizing a bus driver was used as the main evidence to convict the officers in November 2007."
The unnamed "prominent Egyptian blogger" discussed in the cable contacted the U.S. government for help in getting Google to restore two videos to his YouTube account -- videos showing a man allegedly shot by police and another of a woman being tortured.
Other videos on Abbas's blog and YouTube channel show apparent torture and abuse for which no officer apparently faced consequences. There are numerous clips of slapping, beating, kicking and humiliation. One clip shows a man hanging from a door frame covered in blood from apparent lashings, screaming in agony.
Abbas said the video is from a police station in the city of Port Said.
On Thursday, Abbas told ABC News he was worried about retribution for his role in publicizing police abuses. He said he refused to stay on the phone for more than a minute at a time.
"I'm afraid for my life," Abbas told ABC News. "I need to figure out what I'm going to do and where I'm going to go."

Balanced Modulator/Demodulator
Features and Benefits
Product Details
The AD630 is a high precision balanced modulator that combines a flexible commutating architecture with the accuracy and temperature stability afforded by laser wafer trimmed thin film resistors. Its signal processing applications include balanced modulation and demodulation, synchronous detection, phase detection, quadrature detection, phase-sensitive detection, lock-in amplification, and square wave multiplication. A network of on-board applications resistors provides precision closed-loop gains of ±1 and ±2 with 0.05% accuracy (AD630B). These resistors may also be used to accurately configure multiplexer gains of +1, +2, +3, or +4. Alternatively, external feedback may be employed, allowing the designer to implement high gain or complex switched feedback topologies.

When the Arcane Archer lists BAB+6, could a PC with BAB+7 take levels in the class (assuming it has the other prereqs)?
In another thread:

My question, if anyone could answer it:
What is the reason for the requirement in the first place? Does it serve any purpose?
I had my guesses in 3e, but the above goes against those.. so I'm at a loss. Is this a phantom that doesn't need to exist at all? Or is it something whose purpose is getting lost? Perhaps it still applies, perhaps not with the Pathfinder changes to 3rd.
The latest FAQ says 'No' without any reason or context as to why this is so.
Do I need to wield armor spikes in my hand?
If a PC lost a hand, are they also likewise prohibited from TWFing using a one-handed weapon and armor spikes?
Does this apply to a PC with THREE hands?
Why did this get changed from 3.5? None of the associated printed rules in this area seem to have been changed.. why is the FAQ interpreting things in oppositely?
Does a character that attacks with a two-handed weapon, not threaten squares with armor spikes they are wearing? Can they make iterative attacks with them if they made prior attacks with a two-handed weapon?
Does this also apply to monks say wielding a staff and wanting to flurry with that and unarmed strikes?
Is this limited to armor spikes, or does this apply to all of the weapons that do not require hands to be used?
A ruling in a vacuum causes more questions than answers. I appreciate the dev team being very active, but more than 'No.' as an answer is something I'd ask for if the goal is for the FAQ to be helpful.
The Cleric Archetype Merciful Healer gives mercy with channel energy, and expressly states that "Feats and effects that affect a paladin's mercy also affect this ability."
However, since the Archetype doesn't have Lay on Hands, they cannot TAKE any of the Mercy feats.
Is this a mistake, or is this somehow only supposed to apply to multiclassed Paladins?
With 'normal' two weapon fighting with a one-handed weapon as primary and a light weapon as the off-hand, we all know how STR bonus to damage and power attack applies.
Let's take a 'abnormal' situation:
A monk (or character with IUS) elects to TWF with an unarmed strike as primary and a two-handed weapon as their 'off-hand' weapon.
What's the bonus to damage from STR and power attack for this two-handed weapon?
Does the bonus/penalty on power attack cancel out, or does 'off-hand' trump 'two-handed' weapon?
Certainly if the character switched the two-handed weapon to 'primary' and the unarmed strike to 'off-hand' then you're looking at 1.5x & +3/-1 on the primary even though that's not the 'normal' two weapon fighting that one assumes.
Halfling Monks can add a bonus to CMD vs grapples and 1/2 stunning fist attempts per day.
What if the halfling monk has an archetype that removes stunning fist? Do they still add stunning fist attempts thereby getting it?
What's the point of the spell?
It seems, from reading it, to be strictly inferior to the 3rd level spell.
Rather than giving each creature touched (up to 1/level) a duration of 10min/level, the higher level communal version divides this 10min/level between those touched!
I'm guessing whomever wrote this didn't realize that waterwalk was already a 'communal' type spell?
Or am I missing something?
This has been a sticking thorn in my side for quite some time as I don't see it as useful.
There are some arbitrary restrictions on what consumables that a PC can purchase in PFS.
I'd like to bring it back up again, that it be considered to be removed from the PFS rules.
1. It doesn't make things simpler, but rather more complicated.
2. It makes no sense the way it stands in game.
3. It makes a 2nd CL scroll of magic missile unobtainable by someone that could commission a Holy Avenger to be made!
4. The more house rules you have in an organized campaign the worse. It serves as a barrier to those that know the core rules but don't know all the society house rules. And for those that don't know the core rules it confuses the life out of them when they have two conflicting sources.
Not sure the best place to put this, but here goes:
Was looking through the FAQ of the core rulebook and noticed an error or two. Not sure where I should post this in order to get it fixed.
For example we have:
Can you take Weapon Specialization (ray) or Improved Critical (ray) as feats? How about Weapon Specialization (bomb) or Improved Critical (bomb)?
All four of those are valid choices.
Note that Weapon Specialization (ray) only adds to hit point damage caused by a ray attack that would normally deal hit point damage; it doesn't increase ability score damage (such as from ray of enfeeblement) or drain, negative levels (such as from enervation), or other damage or penalties from rays.
—Sean K Reynolds, 10/22/10

—Sean K Reynolds, 10/22/10
But just like in 3.5 under Ray of Enfeeblement we have:
A coruscating ray springs from your hand. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike a target. The subject takes a penalty to Strength equal to 1d6+1 per two caster levels (maximum 1d6+5). The subject's Strength score cannot drop below 1. A successful Fortitude save reduces this penalty by half. This penalty does not stack with itself. Apply the highest penalty instead.
So one cannot sneak attack with a Ray of Enfeeblement (for example) as it does NOT deal damage.
I'm not sure what SKR was thinking here. Also I'm not sure why they are deviating from 3.5 where this extra damage (say in the case of Enervation) would not become 'negative energy damage'. As far as I know such is still the case for Point Blank Shot and Sneak Attack with such spells.
Many people seem to be of the opinion that the Paladin's mount is of type animal.
I believe that seeing as it has an INT of 6 it doesn't qualify for type: animal, and as such it is a magic beast. By the rules for Paladin mounts they count as animals for purposes of spells, but their type is magical beast.
How do other people weigh in on this?
If it is type: animal.. what's the point of giving it an INT of 6? Why make something strange here if for no purpose?
I was wondering if anyone has looked at 'redoing' the staple spells that were aped for the word effects anywhere?
If not, perhaps one consolidated thread would be helpful for this, as it would also serve to introduce people to how words of power works with things that they are familiar with.
To whit if a spell comes up as too expensive or cheaper than it need be then a listing of what might be done to either pare it down to fit or what could be added could come AFTER the write up of the spell itself in word form.
Assuming that the class layout is roughly fine for people I would suggest the following tweaks to them:
1. Spellstrike: allow as a standard action the magus to cast a 1 standard action casting time touch spell and then at any time during that round make a melee attack as a free action that would deliver the spell as well as whatever damage it would normally do. If holding a charge on a touch spell allow it to be delivered via normal melee attack.
In essence this would work much like any normal caster being able to cast a touch spell then at any time during that round attempt to deliver it as a free action with a melee touch attack. And if holding a charge on a touch spell being able to deliver it via an unarmed strike or natural weapon attack.
2. Spell combat: remove the forced concentration check, many times this will be needed anyway.. but remove the arbitrary requirement for it. Also remove the penalty to hit when using it.
Limited resources of the magus' bard casting will hold this in check. At higher levels the penalty is lessened and removed- the levels where this power is increasingly strong. At low levels its currently near useless, and certainly not worth the burn on the resources.
3. Magus arcana: don't fuel it via spell slots, rather fuel them via swift actions.
Much like an inquisitor can burn swift actions for bonuses, let the magus do likewise. The power level of the arcana imho should be around the same value as it seems to fill the same niche.
4. Alter the 10th level ability to have magus levels count as 1/2 ftr levels for feats. Change this to magus level-3 and have it start at magus level 7.
We've learned that in 3e having things progress at 1/2 the rate of another class is a mistake. Paizo has fully embraced this with the skills overhaul and Paladin/Ranger casting level. I applaud them for this realization as WotC never did. Now extend that realization here.
5. Spell list: play with the spell list to include some spells at a reduced level for magi as opposed to wizards.
Some tweaking here needs to be done. Currently its a much reduced list, while all the other 2/3 casters have spells that take this into account. Both the narrow focus of the spells and the increasingly lower relative spell power to a full wizard is too much.
With the advent of the magus and spellstrike, I figured I'd ask this question:
What is the threat range of a held touch spell when its delivered by an unarmed strike or natural weapon?
To whit:
PC1 has improved crit touch spells, improved unarmed strike and punches to deliver a held shocking grasp. Is it a 19-20/x2 or a 20/x2?
PC2 has improved crit: claw, a claw natural attack and claws to deliver a held shocking grasp spell. Is it 19-20/x2 or a 20/x2?
PC3 has a 20/x3 natural attack and uses it to deliver a held shocking grasp spell. Is it 20/x2 or 20/x3?
Whatever answers apply here should likely apply for the magus' spellstrike baring a rules exception for them.
I was wondering if anyone has done a comparison between the two as of yet?
I'm wondering how well the Monk compares to the fighter.
On the fighter's side there is manyshot and weapon training while on the monk's side there is improved flurry (8th), ki points (for extra attacks), and greater flurry (15th).
What are people thinking here?
This will negate any attempt for you to surprise them (sneak attack) with a spell, to sneak up on a target and then use a spell to sneak attack you will need to use silent spell (feat) or a spell without a verbal component."[/i]
Is that the case?

Is that the case?
At best they will know what square you are in, but you will still be not visible to them.
Ask your DM if you can negate sneak attacks from a greater invisible attacker if they are making noise.
As Josh has asked that this discussion not take place on the FAQ thread, I figured I would start it up on it's own thread.
If reading this thread offends you in some way, please feel free not to read it or spam comments on it that will only prolong this thread and place it more often on the front of the lists enraging you even further.
That disclaimer over..
Josh stated that this rule and associated house rule makes things simpler.
I disagree and don't see how this is the case.
Core rules:
Your formula for scrolls is 25gp*spell level*caster level + material cost.
Some spells appear on multiple spell lists, and this was evidently too confusing a concept for some. These same people evidently objected that others, more knowledgeable, had purchased items for less gp than they did.
They were able to do this because they understood how scrolls worked and looked at other spell lists. They didn't need to do so, and could have paid a (higher) price by simply looking at their own spell list.
The poster child for this was the spell 'lesser restoration' which is a 2nd level cleric spell and a 1st level paladin spell. Thus a divine scroll of it at minimum caster levels is either 150gp for a 3rd CL scroll scribed by a cleric, or 25gp for a 1st CL scroll scribed by a paladin.
Somehow this single spell really annoys people. If that is truly the case, then the easiest and least impacting house rule would be to make the spell a 2nd level paladin spell rather than a 1st level one. In the end it would cause less confusion and affect less people.
Some people have defended this removal by saying that paladins don't scribe scrolls. Yet there are readily available scrolls of paladin only spells available and they are not clamoring for their removal. Perhaps now they will simply out of their insane dislike for a 1st level lesser restoration spell. I don't know it seems irrational, but c'est la vie. Again I say address this at the root.. alter the spell in question.
The problem with Josh's initial ban is that casters other than Clerics, Druids, Sorcerers and Wizards suddenly had large amounts of their spell list that they couldn't purchase legal scrolls. This was really unfair to those characters (even the paladin ones who's brothers were scribing those dreaded lesser restoration scrolls).
For example a good number of Bard spells are not on the wizard/sorcerer list but rather only appear on the cleric (or druid) list(s). As scrolls are either arcane or divine depending upon who scribed them, the initial ruling made it so that a bard could not purchase an arcane scroll of cure light wounds, arcane scroll of silence, arcane scroll of freedom of movement, arcane scroll of speak with animals, and many others.
So Josh made a house rule that they could purchase scrolls of them at the prices of their divine counterparts that appeared on the cleric or druid lists.
This plays merry hell with the prices on them, however:
The arcane scroll of cure light wounds is unchanged at 25gp.
The arcane scroll of silence goes from 200gp min to 150gp and is allowed to exist at 3rd CL rather than a 4th CL min.
The arcane scroll of freedom of movement goes from 1000gp to 700gp and is allowed to exist at 7th CL rather than a 10th CL min.
The arcane scroll of speak with animals goes from 525gp to 25gp and is allowed to exist at 1st CL rather than 7th CL min.
Now the knowledgeable PC will be able to purchase in a good number of cases cheaper scrolls than core, and read them without check at earlier levels than they otherwise would be allowed.
Those not in the know of course can only complain. Perhaps this will generate another house rule, and so on.
Meanwhile other prices have increased, and worse the minimum CL on them has increased. The later is a serious problem in that a reader for a scroll needs to have his/her caster level at least as high as the caster level of the scroll to read it without a check.
The irredeemably evil lesser restoration spell that those foul paladins could provide increases from 25gp at 1st CL to 150gp at 3rd CL. Likewise rangers, bards, summoners, etc have spells that are higher caster level on scrolls than the minimum CL for their class.
What does this mean?
It means that if a poor 1st level bard wishes to say buy a scroll of hideous laughter he needs to spend 150gp rather than 25gp. Worse yet is that when he goes to read the scroll he needs to know that he has to make a caster level check to do so. Doesn't matter if it's a spell known to him or not. A 4th level ranger with resist energy memorized can't always read a minimum CL divine scroll of it on another.
All in all, I'm not seeing how ANY of this is EASIER. Rather it makes it more complicated and what does it SOLVE?
It stops 25gp scrolls of lesser restoration, 50gp potions of lesser restoration and 750gp wands of lesser restoration.
Changing lesser restoration to a 2nd level paladin spell would fix this and more.
Currently a 4th level paladin could memorize that hideous lesser restoration spell, cast it and then using only a 1st level pearl of power (say provided by the party cleric) recall the spell to cast it again.
Now a cleric would need to use a 2nd level pearl that costs 4000gp to do this! Thus that same investment by the cleric on 1st level pearls would have that paladin casting it a total of 5 times rather than only twice!
If the others are a problem, why isn't this?
If making all of these complicated house rules to achieve this is worth impacting all of the non-primarily listed spell casters (bards, summoners, inquisitors, witches, etc), why not just address the actual thing that is wanted to be 'fixed' and that's lesser restoration.
Either way PFS is making a house rule and diverting from the core, but this way the impact is far less while achieving even more along the lines that it seems was intended for it.
I'm not a fan of house rules in organized play. I think that they should be minimized, and wherever possible avoided altogether. Living Greyhawk fell into the trap of making these rules time after time, and it got to the point that there were many rules for which a good majority of the long time players were unaware. It made entrance into it in the later years a very daunting affair, and for no good reason. The campaign guide at one point neared 100pages like some avalanche that started as a small pebble. If I recall right one volunteer spent a great deal of time cutting it down at one point into a readable document, much like Hercules clearing the stables.
It never needed to get to that point, and as PFS goes through version after version of its rules document if it's not careful the same will happen to it. And it will discourage new players like the myriad of accounting rules that LG accumulated did as well.
I want us to learn from past organized play campaigns' mistakes.
Is there a way in PFS for a fighter to have a mount that's more durable than, say, a heavy warhorse?
A ranger or paladin have scalable mounts. Does a fighter have anything comparable, or do most viable mounted combat builds need to be paladins or rangers?
Since casters can cast 0 level spells at will, shouldn't wands of 0 level spells be either priced differently, or at least work on a certain number of charges per day?
Seems skewed to pay 375gp for 50 charges of something a caster could do 1/round, and just double that for the same number of charges that a caster can only do a small limited number of times per day.
Is anyone else annoyed by some of the mod stat blocks that say things like 'use stats for the thugs in encounter 1 just change X and Y'?
I, for one, would rather have everything listed out for each encounter at the encounter. As a result I've taken to writing them up on my own, but that gets annoying at times.

"Who else is going to pave the roads here?" Adrian asked, cracking up with laughter. "An American? Ha!"
Thanks to LI and Jay for highlighting today's Post article - which I bet has smoke coming out of ears throughout the state ... from the heads of Virginia government agencies and Latino-advocacy organizations alike.
The resolution's effect on Hispanic communities has stretched well beyond Prince William.
"They're talking about this in Jefferson County, in Clarke, all the way to West Virginia," Adrian Escobar said in Spanish, sipping from a Big Gulp cup outside a pupusa kiosk on Route 1. He and his brother Antonio dashed across the border from Mexico nearly 15 years ago and have been in the United States illegally since. They live in Winchester and make $17 an hour as flagmen for a Virginia Department of Transportation subcontractor.
The Escobar brothers shrugged at all the fretting they'd been hearing from other Hispanics last week, including workers who commute to Prince William to do its grunt work. "Who else is going to pave the roads here?" Adrian asked, cracking up with laughter. "An American? Ha!"
Antonio said he wasn't fazed. "If you're afraid, they'll just intimidate you more," he said. Besides, he added, the brothers have a plan in case Prince William police and immigration officials send them home for a "free vacation" to their father's farm in Guanajuato.
"We'll be right back here in a month," Antonio said
Someone probably should have given Adrian the memo about how the "jobs Americans won't do" line is supposed to be delivered, and how the May 2006 in-your-face attitude worked out for the pro-illegal movement.
Now, how does everyone feel about getting some tough ordinances about legal hiring and ICE participation passed here in Loudoun?
I thought so.
It does seem like Judicial Watch might take an interest in this fascinating Commonwealth of Virginia policy on subcontractors.
Stay tuned for more details on the Free Vacations Program.

The comment is certainly in your face - but it also has a ring of reality to it. The facts as they stand now are that these people make Americans look like the new lazy, rich, nobility and the illegals WILL likely be back in a few months. This (the PWC law) is surely no solution to the problem. Better to focus on the companies doing the hiring or illegals, imo. But, of course, then Americans would have to clean their own toilets and dig their own ditches and it will cost corporate US (and consumers) a lot more to get the mundane work done. I doubt that situation would be tolerated for long.
The free market is calling for cheap labor. Illegals fit that bill. Where are all the free market conservatives now? Call for governmental regualtion and enforcement? How ironic!
Its an election year (or one is approaching). "Illegal Aliens" are the new "War on Terror". It is designed to be a vote getter and nothing more. All I have to say is that the Republicans had many years to deal with the issues and failed. Time for a new approach.
Troll -- the "free market" has nothing to do with it. Companies are not free to hire CITIZENS at wages below the minimum, so our citizens cannot compete with the illegal immigrants.
Free markets depend on all parties working within the law. Or the market falls apart.
For instance, the Chinese do not respect intellectual property rights. Yes, the official policy says they do, but the de-facto policy is one of non-enforcement. This causes all kinds of chaos. Taken to its logical conclusion such theft will kill the industries that are being pirated.
In effect illegal immigrants are in doing the same thing. The economy is not static. There is lots of feedback in the loop(s).
"Free markets depend on all parties working within the law."
So now you all believe regulation (aka, "the law") of the free market is a good thing. Will you guys PLEASE make up your mind!
It's not an all-or-nothing proposition, Troll.
Not all regulation is good, nor is all regulation bad. But when there is regulation, then it must be evenly applied to all players.
I never understand this line of reasoning that immigration is lowering wages for US workers and that the solution is to repeal the minimum wage so that US workers can earn a lower wage.
anyway, according to heritage, 1.6 million workers earn min. wage. 1/2 of them are teenagers. 1.6 million is a lot of jobs, but it isn't really a huge sector of our economy.
also, I don't understand why no one ever wants to consider the jobs that are created by undocumented workers. Maybe they send some money home, but a lot of it goes back in to the US economy. So if you know any teenagers who can't find a minimum wage job because of undocumented workers, tell them to try opening up a taco stand down by that day labor center in Prince William.
I think either Eric is Zimzo or else there is some semi-retarded groupthink thing going on in certain liberal corners...presuming he knows anything at all about us because, I guess, he reads "The American Progressive" to find out what we "conservatives" think.
Hey, Eric, here's one of the questions Zimzo consistently ducks, so let's give you a shot at it:
I thought liberals cared about American blue collar workers and the less prosperous among our citizenry. Why are you in favor of throwing them under the bus for the benefit of ruthless American employers and Mexican plutocrats? You realize, that is NOT being "compassionate." That is just being a tool.
The taco stand deal is already covered, in spades, by illegal aliens. But if you have any other suggestions along those lines please send them along. Blue collar jobs for Americans have become a thing of the past because wages are pretty much where they were 30 years ago. Is it different in Michigan?
Theft of goods. Be the goods, intellectual property (my example), emptying the till (a direct transfer of gold) or the theft of labor (we have laws currently on the books proclaiming both minimum wage levels and the unionization of the trades) it is all the same. Such theft leads to a reduction in trade.
Recall, when the highways are dangerous, the cost of goods go up, or their flow is halted.
A reduction in trade shrinks the market and will eventually destroy the economy. If it is not above board corruption only increases and that is also bad for the economy.
"I never understand this line of reasoning that immigration is lowering wages for US workers and that the solution is to repeal the minimum wage so that US workers can earn a lower wage."
The solution is to enforce the laws we already have, including sealing the borders. If there is still a problem, then we can discuss new laws. But it does not good to replace one set of unenforced laws with another.
"I don't understand why no one ever wants to consider the jobs that are created by undocumented workers."
What jobs? If unskilled laborers created more jobs than they take, then there would never be unemployment, would there?
"Taco stand"? Sounds kinda racist to me.
I liked the line about a free vacation to daddy's place. I would interrupt that along with being here illegal for 15 years that they DON'T WANT TO GO BACK! Guest worker program be damned.
stay puft, I'm not sure what jobs you are talking about "illegals" creating but they do give back to the econmy-fast foods, wal-mart, grocery stores, even the second hand market. But let me ask you this- where in all that do they pay taxes (other than retail goods) to the county that supports their social services needs? I would still have the same problem with the laws if they paid their own way thru schools, doctors and the like. It just makes it worse when they drain the services that they CAN'T support.
"I thought liberals cared about American blue collar workers and the less prosperous among our citizenry."
I can't speak for zizmo, or any other liberal organization. And first of all, I am 100% FOR corporations being smacked down HARD for hiring illegals. That is what causes this problem and it will not be solved until that practice is stopped.
To address your question about Liberalism in general, I think you will find that the common theme is concern about the down trodden in our society. The roots of this were found in the corporate abuses of workers around the turn of the century (hence the Union connection). It also led to the New Deal under FDR (born out of compassion for the unemployed, etc.) The new group that is (frankly) abused in American is the illegal alien. Like it or not, these people are here and they do the worst jobs for the worst pay. Now they are being villified by the Right as "the problem" when the REAL problem is (as usual) corporate greed.
Hope that I have answered your question (at least as far as I can do so). I took an honest stab at it - I'm sure I'll pay for it.
While I certainly understand that corporate greed has something to do with the immigration problem, greed is not limited to the corporations. Individual greed has also contributed. The unions got the corporations over a barrel, and ended up screwing themselves out of their jobs. The auto workers are now finding out that negotiating yourself a great pension and health care in retirement doesn't do you any good if your company goes bankrupt. So, figuring that governments won't go backrupt (they have, you know) the socialists have decided to do try the same with the federal government (Social Security and Medicare).
So if the "liberals" are so in favor of helping the downtrodden, how can you support abortion? Talk about a group that can't stand up for itself!
And how about gun control? Lord knows it's not the rich that suffer from that debacle.
what? Personally, I prefer a taco stand to any other sort of stand.
They pay taxes when they buy stuff, and they pay property taxes in the form of rent. I believe many do pay income taxes. It's all on the pew hispanic website.
anyway, when I worked for min. wage, I didn't pay income taxes either; I was exempt. So...
When people participate in the economy they create jobs. The fast food and wal-mart stores have to hire people to serve the customers, etc. Do you think you can cut 13 million consumers out of our economy without seeing any negative effects?
...Taco stand, hotdog stand, whatever; all i'm saying is that if there are 13 million more consumers in this country and no one can figure out how to sell them anything, we should be ashamed to call ourSELVes Americans!
I perfer a deer stand, myself.
"anyway, when I worked for min. wage, I didn't pay income taxes either; I was exempt."
But you DID pay payroll taxes.
"When people participate in the economy they create jobs."
Certainly, but not as many as they take.
P.S. Tippy's Taco's is AWSOME!
In the long run we are NOT helping them. Mexico is rich in resources and ariable land. Why are they THAT d@mned poor. The had 70 years of single party rule and you can't trust the cop on the beat, the judge behind the bench, the postal worker, or any other civil servant. http://www.novatownhall.com/blog/2007/07/illegal_immigration_hinders_re.php#more
"So if the "liberals" are so in favor of helping the downtrodden, how can you support abortion? Talk about a group that can't stand up for itself!
And how about gun control? Lord knows it's not the rich that suffer from that debacle."
Jack, I am NOT the spokesperson for the Liberal agenda. And I think we can find inconsistencies in every political party.
While, personally, I do not believe that abortion is something that deserves "protection", I do see the support for "choice" as stemming from the abuse of women (especially unyoung, single, pregnant, women) in the past. Frankly, if the pro-life movement REALLY wants to address this practice, they probably should start by addressing the impact on the rights of women as well so as to avoid the perception of backsliding in the process.
I do not see gun control as an issue involving the downtrodden in any fashion.
It is the 'downtrodden' who are on the receiving end of violence. Not the rich.
"I think we can find inconsistencies in every political party."
A point of agreement at last!
We have figured out how to sell to 13 million "new" consumers. That is why there is K-Mart AND Wal-Mart, Big Lots, etc. Not knowing who is legal and who is not, I have paid attention to immigrant buying and see that they go cheap and, for the most part, what is necessary to survive (except for the beer. Got to have the beer). Otherwise the stores mentioned above and their like sustain these new consumers. All those goods are imports and poor imports at best. So are they helping the U.S. economy or just boosting our trade deficit by buying foreign goods?
I used to live out in Luray, and I can tell you when they opened the Walmart in 2000 there was a line of white people all the way down US211. I didn't see any of them cheap buying brown people there when the folks of Page County were digging the grave of their own small businesses.
Every body is so ignorant of the construction labor market in our "Right to work state of Virginia" You can get a drywall man for $11 dollars an hour working 70 hours a week with no overtime, no fica taxes, no unemployment insurance, no workmans comp insurance. HOW? Just use that big old loop hole of republican special interest and "Contract them" with 1099. Very easy to get at your local town hall. False social security numbers never checked and lost tax revenue forever gone. Remember the republicans in VA keep repealing the bill that would narrowly define "family member" Ther building industry buddies would have no place to house the 11 dollar an hour drywall man. Less proffit for them.

Battling Babylon
Why Christians should be watching, not boycotting, movies.
Jul 3, 2006, Vol. 11, No. 40 • By S.T. KARNICK
Behind the Screen
CHRISTIANS AND HOLLYWOOD HAVE USUALLY been at odds with each other, and given that the American movie and television industries turn a tidy, regular profit, it has become clear to many Christians that they will have to be the ones to mend the breach. Behind the Screen makes the practical, intellectual, and theological case for such an effort.
Christians' well-known complaint is that Hollywood films and TV programs generally disparage Christianity and promote immorality. The authors here accept that premise but tend to blame Christians for the problem. On the whole, contributors say, Christians have been too negative, too philistine, and too unsophisticated in their approach to the entertainment industry.
The authors are largely correct in that assessment, though there is more to the story than that. Since the 1960s, Hollywood has frequently gone out of its way to characterize Christians and Christianity as narrow-minded, foolish, and dangerous. Even sympathetic treatments, such as NBC's recent series The Book of Daniel, seem to take pains to be as edgy and snide as possible in their depiction of all things Christian.
Christians' bashing and boycotts certainly haven't changed Hollywood's ways. As one contributor astutely notes, Christians' criticism of the film industry has been counterproductive, as executives "see Christians as negative people who . . . won't watch no matter what we make, so why bother making shows for them?"
The attempt to build a parallel Christian culture during the past couple of decades has only reinforced that impression. Moreover, it has failed aesthetically because the quality standards have been too low, and it has not succeeded in pulling Christians away from Hollywood fare. As another contributor notes, "In poll after poll, the esteemed sociologist George Barna reaffirms Christians go to the movies at the exact same rate as the rest of the country."
Clearly, Christian leaders' complaints about the industry are falling on deaf ears, even among their own followers. There is a good reason for this. Christians who criticize the media, a contributor notes, tend to count up the number of images they don't like in a film while failing to see the real meaning of the stories. "Sometimes," another writer observes, "it will serve the Truth to have the bad guys get away with murder." After all, Scripture itself depicts numerous horrible actions. The events depicted in a film are not all-important; what counts is what they mean.
Hence, as another contributor acknowledges, Christian art need not be explicitly religious in content--which should be an obvious point but has been largely underappreciated in contemporary believers' encounters with the arts:
A television show doesn't need to have an angel in the cast to be about mercy. A film doesn't have to quote Scripture to put the Gospel in people's hearts. If the world will know us by our fruits, then by our cop shows and romantic comedies and thrillers they can know us too. I want to write so that the Good News is so entwined in the muscle of what I am writing that it can't be stripped away, can't be disregarded.
Of course, few Hollywood writers see that as their mission, because "the principal reason for the moral confusion that ends up on the screen is the paucity of happy, well-catechized believers in the entertainment industry. The world does not need a 'Christian cinema' so much as it needs more Christians in cinema," writes one contributor. Hence, another argues, "the only way to change the product coming out of Hollywood is to change the hearts of the people producing them"--by Christianizing them, as it were.
Given the attitudes prevalent among Hollywood's film industry, that seems an unlikely prospect. Concentrating such efforts on younger denizens of Hollywood, however, shows promise. Another long-term approach that seems likely to work is for more Christians to go to Hollywood and work hard to succeed there. Following this line of thought, several contributors (whose own careers show that Christians can make it in Hollywood without compromising their faith) provide invaluable insights into how those so inclined might follow that path.
For outsiders, however, gaining influence remains difficult. One astute contributor holds up GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, as a model for how to engage Hollywood: Contact producers, studios, and programmers directly to call attention to gratuitous offenses, and then offer positive suggestions--"in a nonconfrontational tone"--about how future media products could be made more authentic and more sensitive to Christians.
