4 classes with 2-3 completely different type of spec lines basically makes 8-12 classes so that could work. Thing with daoc is it had 10 classes but most caster / melee spec lines were just different weapon type or diff damage type of spell so you needed a different class for a different utility ( ie pbaoe instead of DD type )
Healer, Melee, Caster, Hybrid support/speed
I would love to see more, especially stealther type that can go bow or melee... so much more immersive having stealthers climb walls and spy in keeps / control the walls - imo.

Another thought for buff classes is to have buffs affect groups 100% and other allies only 50%. Also keep buffs on the low end of the stats and let multiple buffs stack. This way having one buff class in group does not over power you but if you have a full group of buff classes in one group you would be super strong but also would lack the utility of the other classes making buffs a nice boost but not a nessecity. Also if you have multiple buff classes you would want them to have other utilities to help out your group. This could help with roll restrictions other players might put on you and your class.

I'm really hoping to see a support class with some quality CC in his bag. Back when I first began playing WoW (please no flames it was fun back then honest!), I played a level 60 mage. My favorite thing about that class was the awesome CC/utility that it had. You could control an entire group of people trying to ride by on their mounts in Warsong Gulch. Freeze them all, then dismounting them one by one with Polymorph. Then when they all finally realize they have to fight you, freeze, slow, blink, and you're gone. I really would like to see a class like this in CU. Certainly it doesn't have to do crazy burst like the original WoW mage as CU will revolve around a system of roles and not homogenize everything.
I just love harassing groups of people with CC. It is one of my favorite things to do in any game.

Bring back the importance of rezzing. New games with warfronts/battleground have lost the importance of turning the tide of battle and rezzing your groupmates. It's all just release and run back now. I do like the downed system in GW2 but I don't like the kill after and no chance to rez. I would like to see no rez sickness and maybe a min 15-30 second timer before you can release. Give someone a chance to get you up. I have only had epic battles in Daoc because of the importance of rezzing. Also I love me some bridge camping. Make some good bridges by keeps.

Please no AoE rez ( from egg of youth ) :(

Buff Bots were the bane of that game and would of eventually caused me to quit if not for the debacle that was Trials of Atlantis. Anygame that features dedicated and limited buffbots is a game doomed to failure. If you want buffing, then you do a Asheron's Call where the buffer is not limited to how many buffs he can have up.

A way around the BB aspect could be to make all buffs have a duration of maybe 10 - 20 secs, that way the Buffer would need to be active, maybe even give him some interrupts/debuffs.

This. I'd much rather see buffs be extremely powerful, yet very short duration with a moderate cooldown (relative to the rate of combat). I wouldn't like to see buffs that last an hour or are on a "concentration" basis - I want buffs that cause my opponent to say "Oh CRAP" when they go off, but with the knowledge that once those buffs expire, they'll be ready to counter attack (if they survive). To this effect, I'm also kinda against "bard"-type buffing, too - sure, if you weaved it perfectly you could manage some amazing things, but that pretty much also made the role indespensible AND if you weren't absolutely perfect at that role, you were likely blamed for failure and then summarily dismissed from the group.
A 'dedicated' buff class, in my oppinion, would be medium-to-low on the DPS scale with moderate to high-end survivability, who shines primarily when grouped with the other extreme archetypes (boosts a tank's DPS and boosts a glass cannon's survivability) on a burst-y basis.

Yes, your love of stealthers (especially shadowblades) was well known in DAOC. *sarcasm!*
As somebody who has played stealther's and non-stealthers, some possible modifications that could help appease people is giving stealth a cast time. I don't remember actually having seen that mentioned before.
Think about it...if stealth had a 3-5 second cast time, can't be moving while casting etc. You wouldn't be able to use it as an escape method unless you really did escape. You would really have to break LOS or be far enough away to avoid interrupts. Heck, you could even put a small cast timer for going from stealth back to visible, say 1 second (vice being able to attack from stealth). Make it an ability used for scouting and gathering information, but not for dropping huge attacks on people. Or...have it that people in stealth can ONLY attack other people in stealth. To attack people out of stealth, they have to drop out of stealth first. (sorta works into the stealth world phase on top of the regular world).
To summerize (sorry, some of the stuff came as I typed)
1: Cast time on stealth. Cast time on exiting stealth? (shorter)
2: In stealth, you can only attack other people in stealth (do they both stay in stealth or both come out...come out I think)
3: To attack somebody not in stealth, you need to NOT be in stealth.
This allows the use of stealthed scouts AND encourages the use of "defensive" stealthers to clear enemy scouts. Stealthers would go out early to make sure the area has been sanitized of enemy scouts. It also allows you to basically give any class type to be your stealther. You could even give the class with stealth some stealth abilties...sabatoge, traps etc. Would make an army be sure to deploy its own stealthers to counter these abilities.

First, as for the topic of buffs and buff-bots, I would rather not have them and follow a system of active debuffing.
Second, all of this classes talk and comments from Mark are awesome. The one thing that I am concerned about (that I experienced in DAOC) is viability of a spec. For instance, I played a Wizard in DAOC. For the most part a fire wizard was preferred and sometimes an ice wizard. Rarely was earth ever used and when I tried to use it it just wasn't as effective as the other specs.
Playing a minstrel was also frustrating. I loved the speed buff, as I'm sure most everyone did, but it was a bitch to level one of those guys up. Maybe I didn't understand the class mechanics or it just isn't a class you could solo very well with.
I like the idea of having 4-5 classes that are well balanced and can spec differently. But I want each of those specs to actually be viable for playing.

I'm worried with that few classes they will hybridize them too much.
the array of "specialized" classes made the game great.
Class needs to fill a small niche

I think you are spot on with this approach. However, I do believe it is imperative that a speed class is present at launch. I know you touched on speed buffs a few posts back, but the existence of group speed buffs is one of the most fundamental reasons that DAoC worked. Speed (along with healing of course) is what brought people together in RvR. It forced you to stay with your group. While that may seem draconian, such forced constructs are necessary to create the group dyanmic that I believe is desired for CU. Even for those of us who loved DAoC and pine for a return, many of us are going to need some help getting back in the mindset of working as a group and a realm. As much as I hate to admit it, I know I have been corrupted by other games. Even going back to WAR, while the holy trinity was in place and realm pride was present, for the most part, the cohesiveness and combat movements were lacking from what we had in DAoC. While there are admitedly downsides to speed buffs (people failing off, groups moving on different speeds, etc.), I believe that the pressence of speed buffs is imperative to creating fluid combat and providing the ability to respond quickly to defend critical structures and throughpoints.

What are we gonna get? Tank, melee DPS, ranged DPS, Heal, Buff/Debuff?
As long as the classes we do get are unique to each realm... that's kinda important.
I could see some hybridization working out pretty well, if it came with the weapon specialization system. Say you want a sneaky, poison using, ranged DPS... have your rogue (meleeDPS) start using primarily bows from now on. Or come from the other direction with a tank... and end up with something akin to a Midgard Hunter.

daoc was my favorite mmo so I have many opinions similar to many other fans but to just throw my own two cents in, these are my thoughts on how buffs should work in a game without a dedicated buffing class. There is still an obvious need to affect stats and abilities of another class. I go into this assuming that bard style class will make it into the game and therefore will be the most centered around being a buffer/debuffer.
pure healer based buffs-
the direct heals would provide a buff to the characters in relation to how much they were healed for therefore leveling with the quality of heals. These buffs would last 30-45 seconds. group heals provide group wide buffs. Heal over time heals can have a similar effect of removing debuffs from allies.
bard based buffs-
twist 2-3 lines while still somewhat viable to melee. lines along the ideas of end regen, mana regen, hp regen, speed buff, attack speed buff.
bard based debuffs would be centered on the bard (pbaoe) debuffs speed,attack speed, regens.
main tanks debuffs-
main tanks will have positionals to debuff. debuffs include heal %(bleed), debuff movement speed(leg gash), attack speed(arm slice), etc.
perhaps even throwing in MT's having lockdowns like stifles and stuns?

I prefer chants to buffs to be honest, and preferably a design where twisting is not possible (people will buy the tools to make macros that twist for you, and that should not be a part of game design). I liked the skald/paladin/warden-type chants to the shamans', and I believe it would make balancing easier. A system where different classes have different chants could make for more diverse group set ups.

If there is a class that gives buffs players will multi-account to get that class. There will be some players that will park their bot in a keep or tower and spend their entire playtime at that keep waiting to attack anything that comes by.

If it ain't broke, dont fix it!
Just a thought....
Instead of having a class that primarily buffs others we get rid of this idea and look at a new paradigm. What if we have a class who excels at bringing the best out of people? This class has no buffs but instead helps others optimize their own innate abilities.
Let's call this an Optimizer. If the Optimizer joins up with a Fighter archetype character the fighter would gain a strength bonus (assuming STR is their primary attribute) and the Optimizer would get a small bonus as well (either STR or the Optimizers primary attribute). In this symbiotic relationship both would automatically benefit from the partnership. Just imagine a full group where everyone performs their role better than they could individually. Everyone would have a bonus to their primary stat.
A variant to this would be the optimization is shared with everyone in the group. So if the group has players with multiple primary attributes they could be shared with everyone else in the group. So a group consisted of a Fighter (STR), Cleric (WIS), Rouge (DEX) and the Optimizer (INT) they would all gain a bonus to STR,WIS,DEX,INT.
This mechanic would all but eliminate a buff bot as it would only give someone a small increase to their primary attribute and would not be worth an additional subscription.

My daughters face is very puffy along with feet ankles hands wrist. She has horrible carpel tunnel so painful she can't drive. She is irritable and thinks I'm paranoid because I am worried. She is not worried because she has no protein in her urine.
Her blood pressure has been 138 over 89. Last week, and she will not check it except when at her midwives appt. I can see that her veins are popping out in her neck and wrist, and I fear because I don't want her to die. Her midwife had a heart attack Tuesday it was mild and so my daughter did not see the midwife on Thursday. I'm worried about the midwives mental clarity due to the heart attack and the midwife telling my daughter that because when she saw her a week ago nothing was progressing with my daughters pregnancy that my daughter did not need to see the midwife. Nothing was urgent. My daughter is due in 7 days, and has had this swelling non stop for a month, she doesn't even look like herself. Help

Scores and scores of popular automobiles dazzled visitors in the Aiken Mall parking lot Saturday – those whose dreams from youth came true and others whose dreams may persist forever. But they're still good dreams.
The Aiken Horsepower Association held its 10th annual car show to benefit the Cumbee Center to Assist Abused Persons. In addition to Saturday's show, the organization donated about $5,600 in late 2012, said president Vickie Reynolds.
"This is so special for us," she said. "I couldn't stand to see someone abused, or beaten up. It's not right, and I'm going to do anything I can to support them."
Dennis Gmerek has volunteered for the Cumbee Center for about 25 years. It's unfortunate in a way, he said, that he and other volunteers are still badly needed.
"But it is rewarding to work as a volunteer for an agency that does so much for people in our area," Gmerek said. "The car show is a great charity for us and offers more and more support. It's amazing to see the turnout today."
Fred Pollack brought his beloved 1925 Ford that actually has a lot of other years connected to it. A friend built the chassis, and Pollack added a '34 Ford grill himself. Some old Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola artwork make an appearance. The dash came from 1955 Oldsmobile.
Nearby, Ryan Dukes happily showed off his 1962 Chevrolet Impala – complete with a mostly stock interior and some custom additions, such as low-rider car seats. And how much gas does he get per gallon?
"Not much at all," Dukes said cheerfully. "I don't really know, because the gas gauge hasn't worked for a while. I just fill it up and ride."
The car show brought back some memories for many visitors. Barry Hudson's grandfather had a wonderful 1953 battleship gray Dodge. There came a time when he couldn't drive it anymore. Later, Hudson and his brother learned to drive it.
"One day the muffler fell off, and we drove the car around for two months without telling our dad about it," he said. "When he did hear the car start, we told him the muffler had fallen off yesterday. Our secret was out, but the car had sounded so awesome. We were really cool with a loud sound like that."
John Troutman's young grandsons were taking a close look at Bryant Allen's dream car, a 2001 Cobra. Troutman liked it, too, but acknowledged going back a bit further.
"The cars of the '50s were my decade," he said, mentioning the '56 and '57 Chevrolets and a Thunderbird of the era. "But the '44 Ford Coupe? I would have given anything for that. It was a classic of its time and all these years later, it's still considered a classic."

A man wielding a knife robbed the Waffle House on Frontage Road on Monday, leaving the scene with the entire cash register drawer, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
The subject left the scene in a car before deputies arrived at approximately 2:40 p.m.
Witnesses said the subject was a black male wearing a black hoodie, sunglasses, a dark bandana and purple gloves. He reportedly entered the restaurant carrying a knife and went straight to the cash register, according to an incident report.
The subject said he had a gun, as well, but witnesses did not see it, the report stated.
The subject opened the register, took the entire drawer, and left the scene.
Witnesses reported the subject drove away in a beige color Nissan, heading north on Highway 19 towards Edgefield County.
Law enforcement reviewed the restaurant's surveillance tapes and got the tag number from the subject's vehicle.
Numerous units patrolled the area along Highway 19 and Highway 39 with no results, according to the report.

NORTH AUGUSTA Coming into this season, the coaching staff of the North Augusta High School football team knew it would have more of a transition at quarterback than it had to deal with in the past four years. Last years starter, Tyrell Hillary, was a senior who made a seamless transition from two-year starter Loranzo Hammonds after serving as his backup and filling in when Hammonds was unable to play.
For the 2012 campaign, the Yellow Jackets didnt have a returning starter at quarterback, nor did they have an upperclassman who was ready to assume the role after serving as an active understudy. What they did have was a senior who was new to the system after transferring from another school and a rising sophomore that saw very limited action in mop-up duty last season.
In spite of the inexperience, North Augusta is off to another strong start this season with Cody Turner, the senior, taking the majority of the snaps and Trib Reece, the sophomore, running the show every third series. But Turner suffered an injury in the upset loss to Sumter, has already missed one game and wont play in tonights contest at Lexington. The learning curve for Reece has been accelerated, and hes now the primary signal caller for the Yellow Jackets fast-paced offense.
So far, he has met the challenge. In his first start, Reece led North Augusta to a 42-7 win over Grovetown. He completed 10 of 17 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown. For the season, he has passed for 514 yards and seven scores.
He understands his role, North Augusta head coach Dan Pippin said of Reece, whose role and playbook have expanded. Right now, hes the quarterback. Hes the guy.
Although Reece is only a sophomore, he has a good understanding of what Pippin and his coaches want to do on offense. Hes been in the North Augusta system since he was an eighth grader and might be more versed with the offensive philosophy than Turner.
Reece can run the Yellow Jackets challenging no-huddle, zone-read offense, that often works out of the spread formation. He can get the signals from the sideline, get his teammates lined up and call out the play while having his front five adjust to what the defense is showing him. And he does it all in 20 seconds.
He gets the play in quick, Pippin said. Hes worked at it pretty hard. Hes being a good leader. He understands the offense, hes been in it two years, and he plays within him self.
Pippin also said Reece has worked hard on the physical aspects of his game since last season. The 6-foot-3 sophomore has worked on his footwork to get in a rhythm and be in the proper position to release accurate passes. While Reece needs to add weight to his frame, Pippin is enthusiastic about what his young quarterback can accomplish this year and over the next two seasons when he figures to be the Yellow Jackets starting signal caller.
Hes still a sophomore and got two years to go, but I see him getting better, Pippin said. He can make every throw we ask him to make, and hes going get stronger. Hes going to help us in the long run; if he doesnt, he wont play.
Even without Turner suited up, Reece is still sharing QB duties. Trey Morgan, North Augustas jack-of-all trades superstar athlete, is taking snaps as a Wildcat quarterback as he has throughout the season. Rather than swap series, like Reece was doing with Turner at the start of the season, Morgan is playing quarterback on a play-by-play basis. But make no mistake, when the Yellow Jackets are at their best throwing the ball, it will be with Reece on the field.
Thats a credit to Reece, who has had his playbook expanded to the entire North Augusta offense, not just the plays he was best at executing or most comfortable calling. Its also a tribute to his teammates, who have rallied around the youngster and lifted their games to make the whole squad better. The challenge will only get greater as the Yellow Jackets embark on their Region 5-AAAA schedule. But for the time being, Reece is helping to keep his team among the best in South Carolina.
The kid is doing well, and Im happy, Pippin said, smiling before adding, If he keeps working, hell be special good.

Old Fashioned Homemade LemonadeI admit, there are some pretty good frozen lemonade concentrates out there, but a holiday like Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day, just calls for something special and that means fresh, homemade lemonade to me. This one begins with a simple syrup, which really helps to provide that perfect balance between tart and sweet. Be careful not to over-boil the syrup though ... you don't want to make candy!
I hope that you give this a try. Although I love using frozen concentrate in a rush, it really cannot compete with fresh homemade lemonade made from lemons you just juiced yourself. Your guests will be very impressed.
Recipe: Old Fashioned Homemade Fresh Lemonade©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Inactive time: 8 hours | Yield: About 6 servings
- 1/2 cup of boiling water
- 1-1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1-1/2 cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 8 lemons)
- Zest of one lemon
- 5 cups of cold water
- Additional sliced lemon for garnish, optional
Make a simple syrup by bringing 1/2 cup of water and the sugar to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring regularly and heating until mixture becomes clear and slightly thickened. Set mixture aside to cool.
Using a microplane, zest one of the lemons; set aside. Squeeze the juice from about 8 lemons or until you have 1-1/2 cups of lemon juice. Add the juice to a 2 quart pitcher along with the zest and cold water. Whisk in the cooled simple syrup and refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours. Serve in tall glasses over ice and garnish with lemon slices, if desired.
Variation: Add in 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice and lime slices. For pink lemonade, add grenadine, cranberry or pomegranate juice or strained juice from fresh raspberries or strawberries.

Event coordinator Carolyn Braswell said the lineup for the march will take place at 12 p.m. Monday, Jan. 21, and the march will start at 1 p.m.
The speaker on the steps of the courthouse will be the Rev. Jimmy Williams of Ellis Chapel. Following the gathering at the courthouse, the assembly will march back to Mt. Salem for refreshments and to listen to Christopher Cabiness of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Macon.
Braswell said the plan is to make this year's march something special because it is the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation as well as the 40th anniversary of the federal holiday marking King's birthday.
Legislation for the federal holiday was signed in 1983, and, in 1994, Congress designated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a national day of service and charged the Corporation for National and Community Service with leading the effort.

I love this product it creates perfect shade in my face.
Especially when you want to create vintage look.
When this product launch in my city (Jakarta), i experience to use this product to create vintage look which. and it turns very good
but the bad thing is it feels a bit cakey in my face. but afterall it was good product
theBalm Frat Boy Blush ($21.00 for 0.30 oz.) is described as a "peachy apricot" and can be used as both an eyeshadow and blush. It's more of a medium-dark coral-pink with very subtle gold micro-shimmer and a pearly sheen. The powder is incredibly soft–very silky and smooth–but doesn't look powdery on at all (sometimes really soft powders can also be powdery). I was able to get good color payoff with ease; it gives a flushed look in one swipe but can be built up to something more intense with a little more product. The payoff is nicely balanced between natural and bold without being too sheer or so pigmented that you have to take care in applying it. When I tested it (over foundation, set with powder–all part of my normal routine), it wore for eight hours without fading.

A couple visiting from out of town went to Shem Creek to enjoy dinner and cocktails. When they walked outside to leave they were approached by a clean cut guy, about 21 years old. He said he worked for the restaurant, and as part of the service the restaurant offered, he would be happy to drive them home in their own car. The victim thought this was surprising, but agreed. When they got back to the hotel the driver told the couple that the last guy he did this for gave him $100. The victim told the driver he was not going to give him $100. But he did give him $5.
This enraged the driver and he berated the victim as he walked through the parking lot toward the hotel. That is when the victim realized the driver was intoxicated.
The victim asked the hotel clerk to call police and upon hearing this, the suspect took off running. Police patrolled the area but could not find him. Back at the restaurant, the employees there told police that they do not offer a service like that.

Aggressive prosecutions and enforcement actions by the U.S. government for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), first enacted in 1977, are continuing at record pace and multinational companies continue to face enormous scrutiny of their overseas business practices in the U.S and abroad. Further, there have been several developments in anticorruption enforcement in the last few years, including significant FCPA settlements, a new UK Bribery Act and guidance by the U.K. government regarding what constitutes "adequate procedures" that could provide covered companies with a complete defense to bribery charges. This webcast will address these recent developments and provide guidance for corporations and their employees seeking to implement best practices in their compliance programs. Key topics to be discussed include:
- The components of an effective FCPA compliance program and whether it can aid in avoiding corporate prosecution;
- Whether your compliance program will protect your company from rogue employees;
- Whether your compliance program is evolving with new regulatory developments and industry guidance; and
- When, if ever, to involve outside counsel if bribes are suspected.
Audience: In-house counsel, compliance officers, sales/marketing professionals, internal auditors/controllers, treasurers, finance, HR

The Pinewood Equestrian Team recently competed in the IEA ZONE 4 FINALS in Braselton, Ga.
Teams from five southeastern states competed to earn the right to compete at IEA Nationals to be held over the summer. To advance to the next level, teams must place first or second overall and those competing individually must place first or second in their event. Pinewood competed in both the team and individual events.
Saturday began with senior Kara Guertin winning the Varsity Open Horsemanship Team class. Next up was freshman Hannah Givens, who placed second in JV Novice Horsemanship Team. Senior Ali Clynes Schmieding brought home a second place prize in the Varsity Intermediate Horsemanship Individual to earn a place at Nationals. Sophomore Elizabeth Soyka also gave a strong performance, placing fifth in Varsity Intermediate Horsemanship Individual.
The last class of the day was Varsity Open Reining Individual. Kara Guertin placed third and Junior Aurie Engel Schmieding placed sixth.
The girls were back at it again on Sunday morning when Kara Guertin brought home the blue in her Varsity Open Horsemanship Individual to earn a spot at Nationals. Aurie Engel Schmieding was also in this class and she placed fourth.
Hannah Givens place fourth in her JV Novice Horsemanship Individual class. Ali Clynes Schmieding was next up in the Varsity Intermediate Horsemanship Team and place third. The last class of the day was Varsity Open Reining Team, where Kara Guertin placed sixth.
Overall the Pinewood team placed fifth. Senior Kara Guertin was the Varsity Open High Point Rider for the weekend. Seniors Ali Clynes and Kara Guertin will both be competing at IEA Nationals in Oklahoma City this summer.
Both Ali Clynes Schmieding and Kara Guertin should be proud of the legacy they leave behind. Both girls have been on the team since its first year as a varsity sport and both will compete at the next level at college next year.
"Our hope is for the entire team to qualify for Nationals in the next year or two," Ali Clynes' said.
Kara agreed and added, "and for more girls to receive equestrian based scholarships to attend the college of their choice."

There is a further rhetorical argument used, however, that is a bit more subtle. The objection is made specifically to use of anti-Catholic as a label for one person: it is thought that this specifically makes the person so labeled as anti-person (Catholics as people or individuals), rather than against the system. Thus (in this thinking), anti-Catholicism is directed towards theology, whereas anti-Catholic is directed towards persons in an ad hominem fashion.
It is a greater objection-within-an-objection. If the term is used at all, they at least want the "ism" included in it, to make these distinctions more clear. I would say this is considerably straining at gnats. What I mean by anti-Catholic is exactly what I mean by anti-Catholicism (against the Catholic system, claiming it is not Christian by nature). I've reiterated that about 5,865,203 times as well. A proponent of anti-Catholicism is logically called an anti-Catholic. It means "against Catholicism" not "against Catholics."
The anti-Catholic generally loves Catholics (albeit in a theologically and spiritually patronizing, condescending fashion). He wants to see them "saved" and safe within the bosom of Protestantism, so they can "know Jesus" as they supposedly never have, hear the gospel they allegedly have never heard at Mass, and make it to heaven and not be damned with the Whore of Babylon and her idolatrous, blasphemous, semi-pagan, unregenerate ways.
It's an exact parallel to a description such as anti-Communism. What is a person called who holds to that view? An anti-Communist. Even President Kennedy was rightly called that. Does this mean an anti-Communist is personally opposed to Communist people? No; it means that he is against the Communist system. Anti-Communist is used because calling a person an anti-Communism is linguistically ridiculous and impermissible.
I submit, with all due respect, that if I went through all my posts and edited every use of anti-Catholic, and kept only anti-Catholicism, that our dear Christian friends would still not get it, and I would continue to hear the same criticisms. I'd bet the farm on it.
But let's accept this linguistically suspect demand for the sake of argument, and see if our anti-Catholic friends abide by it themselves. In fact, they do not. The most glaring counter-example is Turretinfan (always referred to affectionately by yours truly as TAO: The Anonymous One).
TAO wrote a post on his blog (on 4 October 2007) that was all about this sort of thing. He cited my own citation of fellow anti-Catholic Peter Pike, stating:
Calling someone an anti-Catholic is like calling someone an anti-semite. The connotations are the same, and Armstrong fully knows that.
TAO was at least fair enough to include my response to that:
Sheer nonsense. As I've stated a million times now, including to Pike, I use the term simply as meaning one who thinks Catholicism is not a Christian system. Period. End of story. And I wrote a paper years ago documenting how many historians and sociologists use the term in this way (though I agree it can have other applications also)
But -- TAO being TAO --, he had to keep bashing me despite my clarification (that should have ended it). So he blasted me (bolding and enlargement his own):
Dave knows the connotations and uses the term anyway. Dave, you know full well it's an inflammatory label. So please - stop making excuses. You've received numerous complaints about it from those you so label, so you cannot plead ignorance.
In the comment thread, TAO wrote on 10-11-07:
. . . the use of "anti-Calvinist" is just a rhetorical trick Dave uses to place the ears of his Catholic readers on "ignore this guy."
TAO knew that I had documented several times, his (and many other anti-Catholics') use of "anti" terms. But he had to dismiss that somehow. He couldn't possibly ever admit that a glaring double standard was in play. That would never do. It would be a naughty no-no. When I point out inconsistent ethics, it is merely a "rhetorical trick," you see. See how the game is played?
In a July 2008 paper of mine, devoted to TAO's terminological double standards, I noted, for example, how he routinely uses the term papist, in describing Catholics: a term that I described as "long considered insulting and inappropriate in gentlemanly theological discourse, and certainly not '"scholarly'":
Polemical Papist, Dave Armstrong, . . . (6-14-07)
Please keep the author of this post in your prayers, that he may be set free from the bondage of papist superstition by the light of the gospel! (12-9-07)
Even the papists recognize that the command was not absolute. (5-17-08)
The fact that it has come to be accepted by the papists doesn't make Purgatory any more orthodox than the idea of successful intercession on behalf of souls in hell. (5-20-08)
Thus, without animosity or without intent to disparage, you may find reference in the debate to the church that confesses, as its earthly head, Benedict XVI, variously as the "Roman Catholic" (RC) church, the Romanist church, or the papists. I don't mean to use those terms jeeringly, and I hope no unnecessary offense will be taken at them. I recognize that papists prefer the term "Catholic," but that term is misleading and inaccurate – and putting it in quotation marks in every instance would seem to be at least as much a distraction as using the descriptive term "papist" to describe those who hold to the supposed infallibility of the Roman pontiff, or "Romanist" to describe those who view Rome as being the seat of government of the entire Church of God. (6-1-08)
Dave Armstrong is himself a papist . . . (7-7-08)
In the same paper, I go on to document how TAO sneers at the use of anti-Catholic, by repeatedly putting it in quotation marks, as if it is an illegitimate term. He himself makes no distinction between anti-Catholic and anti-Catholicism as terms, because he put the latter in quotation marks, too:
Misuse of "Anti-Catholicism" Documented [title] (10-4-07)
P.S. Dave's maturity and honesty in dealing with this situation is illustrated by his response to this post as evidenced by his description of this post on his inappropriately titled "Anti-Catholicism" web page: . . . (10-29-07)
. . . the Christian position that he openly opposes (calling it names, like "anti-Catholicism," on many of his web pages). (2-11-08)
Wouldn't it consistently follow, then, that if TAO thinks mere use of the term anti-Catholic is exactly like calling someone an anti-Semite: a merely "inflammatory label" and so forth, that he would refrain from using a term like papist? -- that has no scholarly pedigree or standard usage at all (unlike anti-Catholic, which is all over scholarly historical and sociological writings)? It would, but TAO doesn't know that. He blithely goes on using the equivalent term anti-Calvinist in referring to persons (in the first instance below, just three months after his post against my use of words):
One rather aggressive non-Calvinist (even to the point of being an anti-Calvinist) recently (maybe two years ago, by now) sent a challenge (shown below). . . . The distortion of the Scripture by this Anti-Calvinist starts immediately. . . . Yet the Anti-Calvinist foolishly claims that all can hear. The Anti-Calvinist also asserts that Jesus declares that there are no chosen or predestined ones. . . . So, not only does Jesus not declare the message, He and his apostles and evangelists declare the opposite. Furthermore, the Anti-Calvinist's Anti-Calvinist's paraphrase ("Any person in the world, Hear my message. I want to save each and every one of you") is dead wrong. . . . completely fabricated by the Anti-Calvinist, . . . The Anti-Calvinists concluding remark that predestination is a myth is clearly wrong, . . . the Anti-Calvinists' final word . . . we can justly reject the lies of this Anti-Calvinist, and his perversion of the gospel of Christ . . . the Anti-Calvinist says: . . . It is ironic how well Christ's methodology works even today, and on this Anti-Calvinist. . . . The Anti-Calvinist's final comment . . . But the Anti-Calvinist says: . . . (1-12-08)
[I counted 109 further uses of this term (and its close variations) in the same paper before I got tired of counting. There was much more paper to go. TAO quite possibly could have used the term as many as 300 to 400 times! It was almost like a mantra.]
A number of writers who are not Calvinist in the conventional sense have desired to be called Calvinist, for one reason or another. Some anti-Calvinists will find this hard to believe. (12-1-07)
TAO speaks this way often, as seen in several instances on other discussion forums:
Only anti-Calvinists call it insincere. The fact that God knows whosoever will, means that it is a closed not an open class. Accussations of insincerity are the dark side of anti-Calvinism. . . . The dark side of anti-Calvinism implicitly denies that Elijah was a true prophet. Also, for this to be taunting, the anti-Calvinist would have to assert (falsely) that some wants salvation and don't get it. . . . It is always anti-Calvinists who say that God is the source of all evil. Yet, anti-Calvinists cannot fail to admit that evil could not exist if God did not permit it, and that it comes from his creation. So, the dark side of anti-Calvinism is equally susceptible to this criticism. . . . I think so, but anti-Calvinists deny that all the time. (10-3-05)
The fundamental reason that Calvinists and anti-Calvinists don't agree on soteriology is: . . . (I say "anti-Calvinist" to avoid the feedback I receive when I call everyone who disagrees with Calvinism "Arminians," when in fact they do not agree with Arminius.) (2-14-06)
I always love when anti-Calvinists accuse Calvinists of not properly understanding . . . the anti-Calvinists tell us that Kosmos means each person of the entire human race, and the anti-Calvinists are honorable men. . . . the anti-Calvinists tell us that Kosmos means each person of the entire human race, and the anti-Calvinists are honorable men.

[phraseology repeated four more times in TAO's usual boorish fashion]
In so doing, TAO is acting not only like a rank hypocrite, but also like a two-faced, equivocating liar, with a double standard as wide as the Grand Canyon. I'm perfectly consistent in my use, whereas TAO and others who act as he does are quite inconsistent and unethical, demanding that I act in ways that they have no intention of abiding by themselves. Other anti-Catholics use the same terminology of anti-Calvinist (as applied to a person), though perhaps without the level of dupicity that TAO employs:
As a Calvinist, I sometimes get challenges from anti-Calvinists to debate. (Matt Slick of CARM)
In a discussion on an SBC blog, anti-Calvinist is used repeatedly by many different folks. There are at least two books that use the term anti-Calvinists (one / two).
Many anti-Calvinists are quite explicit about why they reject Calvinism. (7-21-09)Hays also wouldn't be himself if he didn't make himself into a rank hypocrite, too:
Robert, an anti-Calvinist troll, . . . I, for one, have never faulted an anti-Calvinist for using "offensive" or "hurtful" language. I have never said, "How dare you say that about a Calvinist like me!" Instead, I quote their anti-Calvinist invective to illustrate their two-faced behavior. . . . Some anti-Calvinists are on search and destroy mission. (7-24-09)
BTW, "Calvinazi" seems to be a popular epithet among some anti-Calvinists: . . . I think we should keep "Calvinazi" in mind when some anti-Calvinists profess to deplore the tone of Reformed discourse. (8-4-09)
. . . the Machiavellian tactics that anti-Calvinists in the SBC engage in. . . . I'm afraid I can't buy into the victimology of the anti-Calvinists. (2-24-10)
Opponents are Calvinism work hard to popularize the image of Calvinists as a bunch of meanies. Thankfully, anti-Calvinists are distinguished by their irenic discourse. (4-19-10)
And this is characteristic of anti-Calvinists comments on this thread. (4-26-10)
. . . the Calvinists are Caner's opponents of Caner while the anti-Calvinists are his supporters. It's like a play in which all of the actors are typecast. Incidentally, if anti-Calvinists really have the freedom to do otherwise, you have to wonder why they're so predictable in situations like this. But I digress. . . . it is duplicitous of anti-Calvinists to blame Calvinists for doing what the anti-Calvinists refuse to do. If the anti-Calvinists refuse to police their own, then, of course, that task will fall to unsympathetic outsiders. (5-11-10)
But to judge by this reply, whenever Armstrong gets into a dogfight he can't win, he pushes the little red button on his ejector seat labeled "anti-Catholic," and parachutes out of his flaming, nose-diving plane.
This is exactly the same tactic that is used by liberals to smear conservatives and duck out of an honest debate over the issues. They resort to slur words like "homophobic," "sexist," "racist," and the like.
Anyone can play this game. A Mormon would say that I'm anti-Mormon. A psychic would say that I'm anti-astrology. That's a great bullet-dodging device. . . .
He's says that I'm anti-Catholic. Well, what is Trent if not anti-Protestant?
Am I anti-Catholic? Depends on what you mean. I'm not hostile to Catholics. This isn't personal.
I am opposed to the Catholic belief-system, just as Armstrong is opposed to the Reformed belief-system.
Do I believe that the RCC is a fully Christian institution? Obviously not, otherwise I'd be Roman Catholic.
For the record, I believe the RCC to be an apostate church. The Council of Trent marks the irreformable repudiation of the gospel of grace, while Vatican II marks the official triumph of modernism. (4-11-05)
And who is an "anti-Catholic"? Anyone he doesn't want to debate with, that's who! (4-14-05)
In any case, I reserve the right to use designations which reflect my theological viewpoint, and not the outlook of my theological opponent.
A Romanist is someone who adheres to the primacy of Rome. A papist is someone who adheres to the primacy of the Pope. And so forth.
Since a Calvinist takes no offense at being denominated a Calvinist, I don't see why a Catholic should take offense at being denominated a papist or Romanist.
[you gotta love how he can't even avoid using the proper term even in defending the improper, pejorative titles: "I don't see why a Catholic . . ."; "I suppose a Roman Catholic would object to . . .," ". . . a Roman Catholic will protest that he is a follower of Christ, . . ."]Hence, I will continue to opine on the papistical popery of papistically papizing papists in the thrall of papistry and popedom. (6-10-05)
The historical etymology of "anti-Catholic" is irrelevant to this debate. All that's relevant is Armstrong's self-serving usage. . . .
To my knowledge, I've always been consistent in my use of synonyms, employing "Catholic," "Romanist," "papist," "popery" and the like interchangeably for purposes of stylistic variety and euphony.
My usage isn't normative for anyone else.
Armstrong is of the stated view that you should call folks whatever they want to be called. I disagree. We should call people what they are. I value truthful speech over PC speech.
. . . I'm not offended by this linguistic discrimination. But, by the same token, I have an equally principled reason for my own usage. (9-25-05)
Dave's functional definition of "anti-Catholic" is any Evangelical he doesn't want to debate. (9-26-05)

Sigh... You're nothing if not consistent with not thinking things all the way through before you speak. Most everything is relatively infrequent to the total entropy of the planet. But since we are talking about intentional acts, maybe this logic doesn't apply. That still doesn't explain the fear mongering about the evil guv'ment you have displayed here. That happens far LESS in the history of the human race than either gun violence or lightning strikes deaths, yet here you are, all afraid of the slippery slope these liberal scum are creating and making your life oh so much less free and enjoyable. Paranoid much. Which that is the most paralyzing fear there is. It drips from your posts.
Anyone know what the leading cause on non-natural death was in the 20th century?
It was Democide is a term revived and redefined by the political scientist R. J. Rummel as "the murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide and mass murder
In the 20th century, democide passed war as the leading cause of non-natural death
Oh Okay. You havent been able to back up anything that I can see. I have. With historical evidence and statistics.Wow it's like your perception is one of those juicer machines. I put in an orange and got avocado juice back. That isn't even close to what my "question" was. And I didn't ask a non-rhetorical question. I have asked nothing in regards to your posts that in any way did not already contain the answer. These questions aren't for me. I already understand this and how wrong your entire line of thought is. Those are for you.
I believe more guns = less crime. And the statistics back it up. And with less crime, there is less murder. The statistics back that up as well. No time today to detail it all, but I will if you disbelieve it.
If there was a "question" posed, it was quite simple: Do you think if there are more salmon there will be more salmon activity? How about meteors? How about marshmallows? Taylor Swift songs? And finally, *gasp* guns? <-- OH NOZ!!!
Complex idea I know, but just press your temples very hard and grunt and you will get it. Although sometimes when I do, I get the wind something terrible. Especially after a couple of burritos.
Oh, if someone wants to blissfully run up and down the coastal sand with an umbrella in their hand during a rainstorm, then more power to them. They aren't hurting anybody but themselves if they get struck by lightning. They aren't KILLING anyone but themselves. But, if I'm standng next to them and they do it, then I'm going to say something to them, probably call them some choice name, and move away. Can't really do that when someone's got an assault weapon pointed at you, can ya? So, I don't think I will be able to convince you otherwise and you certainly aren't going to convince me that assault weapons are ever going to be par-for-the-course in everyday American life (even tho it seems to be the case that they are now). We can agree to disagree, but don't question my intelligence or my thinking- I never said the founding fathers were 'dumb', just that perhaps they didn't have the foresight to see what is happening today in respect to assault weapons when they wrote one of the most beautiful documents in history, the Constitution. Have a nice day and enjoy your time here.
I do disbelieve your claim that more guns equals less crime or that there are statistics to back that up that could not be disputed. And, yes, I've seen the statistics that gun violence has gone down as sales have gone up. But the other piece of this is that the number of gun owners has also gone down--it's just that the people who already own guns are buying more of them. And yet you are trying to convince me that there isn't a fear mentality among the more vocal gun rights advocates and that it's something liberals are making up. If the punchline wasn't in such bad taste, it might make for a good joke a la how many _______ does it take to screw in a lightbulb--how many guns does it take to make a gun rights activist feel safe?
I'd also like to point out that you have joined the SKMB with the only reason being to protest your belief that Stephen's full disclosure that his share of the 99 cent purchase price (he doesn't get all 99 cents) of "Guns" will be donated to the Brady Campaign is keeping people (although logic says that would only be those who are opposed to that organization) from debating the topic of gun rights vs. gun control and yet here we are at over 140 posts in this thread alone related to the essay. And if you've still stuck to your gu....errr principles, you haven't any firsthand knowledge of what Steve actually discussed in his essay. He wrote the essay giving his opinions about the issue after having done research, realizing that there would be some who would never read it because they'd already formed an opinion for one reason or the other about his motives or conclusions, but hoping there could still be discussions. I'd say he's accomplished his intention.
look at countries with less guns (Canada, UK ). Crime rates are not higher. Definitely murder is not higher. Absolutely mass murders are not higher. These things do happen here, but rarely. And a mass shooting here was two dead (more injured).I do disbelieve your claim that more guns equals less crime or that there are statistics to back that up that could not be disputed
You are correct. Lightning is an act of nature(or god if you wish). A mass shooting is not(at least in my opinion). It is..an act of one person. Typically a deranged and mentally unstable person. I mean, come on...what normal rational human being goes into a school and blows away little kids? With a gun, with a bomb, with anything!
These acts of mass violence do not represent the tens of millions of Americans that own any type of firearm legally and safely. So why infringe on the civil rights of the very many, when it is the act of the very few that are committing these types of crimes?
If AK47's were waking up on their own in the middle of the night, loading themselves, and going on shooting sprees without a person behind the trigger, I would agree with you. But they are not. It still takes a person behind the firearm to kill. When we went thru the dark times of drunk driving(20-30 years ago), we did not ban beer and cars. We did not limit the amount of beer or booze a person could buy at a time, did we? I can still walk into a liquor store and buy a keg, or 10 kegs. And cases and cases of bottles of booze. What did we do with drunk driving? We worked on the crime, and get this....enforced the law. We have cops out now routinely stopping people that seem drunk. We have PSA's talking about the dangers of drinking and driving. We did not reinstitute prohibition, because prohibition on anything does not work. Nor will a prohibition on guns.
The number one connection these mass shooters have is mental instability. We made it much more difficult to involuntarily commit a person back in the 1970's. Why did we do that? Because it was violating a person's civil rights. These are the types of things that have to be weighed in a free society. But when you start having more and more people with severe mental problems, not have some place to go(either voluntarily or involuntarily) then you have problems when they go 'full tilt'. Other countries in the world make it much easier to involuntarily commit a person(sometimes at the expense of civil rights). Other countries do alot more in keeping those that are really a danger to themselves and others....either under lock and key or supervised or under full time or even partial treatment.
If you want to see where the failure is start by looking at Addington vs Texas and O'Connor vs Donaldson.
And of course, I am all for protecting people with mental illnesses civil rights as well. However, one must realize that with that, comes certain risks to society. Living with risks is an inherent danger in living in a free society.
From the Mcdonald decison......in the words of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito
Or, in another's words...Municipal respondents maintain that the Second Amendment differs from all of the other provisions of theBill of Rights because it concerns the right to possess a deadly implement and thus has implications for public safety. And they note that there is intense disagreement on the question whether the private possession of guns in the home in-creases or decreases gun deaths and injuries.
The right to keep and bear arms, however, is not the only constitutional right that has controversial public safety implications. All of the constitutional provisions that impose restrictions on law enforcement and on the prosecution of crimes fall into the same category. See, e.g., Hudson v. Michigan, 547 U. S. 586, 591 (2006) (The exclusionary rule generates substantial social costs, United States v. Leon, 468 U. S. 897, 907 (1984), which sometimes include setting the guilty free and the danger-ous at large); Barker v. Wingo, 407 U. S. 514, 522 (1972) (reflecting on the serious consequences of dismissal for a speedy trial violation, which means a defendant who may be guilty of a serious crime will go free); Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U. S. 436, 517 (1966) (Harlan, J., dissenting); id., at 542 (White, J., dissenting) (objecting that theCourts rule [i]n some unknown number of cases . . . will return a killer, a rapist or other criminal to the streets . . . to repeat his crime); Mapp, 367 U. S., at 659. Municipal respondents cite no case in which we have refrained from holding that a provision of the Bill of Rights is binding on the States on the ground that the right at issue has dis-puted public safety implications.
You bring up 9-11. What did we do after 9-11 to 'try to stop' it from happening in the future? We went to war with terrorists. ie, the people committing the heinous. acts. We beefed up security going onto a plane. We armed air marshals and some pilots. We also did some other things...like 'The Patriot Act' which I would argue was not the right thing to do, but that is a different story.Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. ~Benjamin Franklin
Agree with those actions or not, but what those that think we should ban this or that firearm are really saying....is that after 9-11, we should have banned box cutters. /rollseyes
So, not to be so simplistic in the face of such overwhelming intellect, but 1799, you seem to have a laundry list defending the ownership of the magazines and gun types. Let's, of argument's sake, remove the problem you have with being so oppressed by limiting these things. Let's pretend that you will never need to fight off the guv'ment (though, it is coming any day now). And finally let's admit that those types of guns aren't really for hunting.
Now if you have cleared your mind of these preconceptions and hang-ups you have, think very hard. Now give us ANY reason why these things are necessary. How does it actually diminishes your rights to not be able to have them? I am not interested in the"chip away" argument or any debate on the 2nd Amendment. I am asking why these types of guns/magazines are necessary to the point they require constitutional protection.
I am riveted waiting for your answer.
And PITH, you manx you, keep your shorts on... I know how enticing the Internet can be...
Not to mention the simplistic understanding of mental health issues. First I want to say that not all mentally ill people will become violent and harm others. The major reason why so many mentally ill people are not receiving help has nothing to do with their being committed. There are many including paranoid schizophrenics who do not have to be institutionalized if they're receiving proper care. It has to do with the erosion of funding for services starting with the Reagan administration. The best way to help these people is by early intervention and continued treatment with oversight by trained professionals such as adult mental health social workers. Why are they not doing that? Take a look at some of the first items that are being cut in state and federal budgets and you'll see it's assistance for these sorts of programs or the rules for who and what is covered are changed so that people no longer qualify for assistance which clears the path for cutting them from the system. And who gets cut when budgets are reduced--it's not usually the managers, it's the people on the front line who actually perform the services. When there is not supervision and one-on-one assistance, these people get into trouble, don't take their meds, and de-comp which puts a strain on other systems like law enforcement, fire departments, and can lead to situations that put others in danger as we've seen. If you want the mentally ill to be less of a threat, then pay attention when budget cuts are being made and don't whine about how much of your tax dollars is being spent on assisting them in programs that have been proven to work. Tell your legislators to reconsider those cuts.
It also does not take into account those who have not yet been diagnosed and until they are would fall through the cracks and could still have access to guns because they would pass a background check. If they had a psychotic break during that time that would lead them to wanting to harm others with a gun, the system would not catch them.
Which still boils down to the access and availability of guns being the common factor in innocent people being killed by mentally ill patients who have become delusional and possibly violent.

Oh how neat...sibling photos across generations...ReplyDelete
All adorable.ReplyDelete
very nice. i think i'll go look for some sisters.ReplyDelete
Love these pics, why did blunt cut bangs ever go out of style, so attractive. Good day for a sister post!ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting on my blog re: True Love. I had no idea that that song would transcend the generations in another family. It is beautiful, isn't it? Besides -- it took me to your blog. I love these pics.ReplyDelete
Such cuties!ReplyDelete
Just darling!ReplyDelete
What adorable photos!ReplyDelete
Love these pictures. The last one must have you in it, but which of the cuties is it?ReplyDelete
Thank you all for the kind comments. These are two of my favorite pictures. I'm the elder moppet in the second photo and my most beloved (aka only) sister is by my side. Mother is on the far left in the first photo. I love that they're sporting the same hairstyles - right down to gap in their bangs.ReplyDelete

It's long been a tradition in my family, and many families over America, to create wish lists for Christmas. Obviously, there are many practical benefits to this. It can spark ideas and inspiration or just give you a sure fit if you're not feeling creative. I mean, if you're spending money, you want the recipient to like what you got them, right? Of course, many people see down sides to registries and the like as well, and I understand that, too. I struggle with the "Is my gift unique and special enough?" question every time I purchase something of a wedding registry. But then again, they want it, I can get it, shouldn't we both be happy? Anyway, I guess I've never really figured out what the right balance is with wish lists and registries for Christmas or weddings or birthdays or showers, but I still use them. And at the request of the family, I still make them for myself.
So, here are some of my favorites from my wish list this year:
- Baking and Kitchen Tools: I have started baking things way more than I used to. Mostly hearty and savory items like breads and biscuits, but also some other things like pies and streudels! This is all very new to me and I will be the first to admit that I am the worst at measuring things and being precise. When I cook, I throw things together and I use my eyes and hands to measure cups and tablespoons.
- Cookbooks: These really stood out to me.
- Fitness: I've been getting more and more into a healthy, fit lifestyle and I've had my eye on a few of these things for a while.
- From fashion to photography, here's a few extras:
…and many more… but it's time for me to run off to a surgery. (Yep, you heard that right… another one.) But I'll be back to you soon. Hope you have great luck finding things for everyone on your lists! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
