If the company doesn't have the money up front to hire this person, they don't need him or her.

If the company doesn't have the money to give as a bonus to an employee, the company must not be doing good enough to ...

Donald Lamb, Managing Editor of the US Financial Times, was just on a radio program I was listening to. He referred to 52 executives who walked away with $10,000,000 in bonus money from bankruptcies they were directly or undirectly responsible for, through the over ...

I agree to a certain degree. The fact is the demopublicans (As I will now refer to the democrats and republicans based on the observation that they are basically the same pary) are they way they are because of greed.

Now imagine Nader having a ...

The Republicans aren't who they say they are. When I voted for the first time in 2000 I was decided to actually vote my conscience and voted for a third party that had no chance to win. Some would say I threw away my vote and for the first year and a half I thought I made a mistake not voting for ...

There seems to be some misunderstanding regarding what is going on here. It is not the CAT that is being debated here it is a proposed addition to the CAT which sets up an international inspection bureacracy. The US argument against it is not pedantic. The national government does not have the ...

. . . which would be fine if parents were taking an active part in the education of their children with regards to sex. However, the fact of the matter is that many parents are not involved in any aspect of their children's education, much less with the sexual ...

@C Elegans:
Americans don't like to talk about sex. There is even controversy about whether sex ed should be taught in schools at all. The people who don't want to teach sex ed or contraception or venereal diseases are generally fundamentalist Christians who ...

I heartily second the above. Please remember that Dubyah wasn't even elected by a majority of the 50% or so of US voters who actually turned out for the wonderful choice of Gore or Our Man in the White House. I know he frightens the rest of the world with his "get ...

One thing everyone must realize is that the US is not first among equals. The US not only has the greatest ability to effect the world but what happens in the world greatly effects us. The reason the US appears to act unilaterally is that we have more options available to us. Europe only has ...

I think it is because any real investigation into political-corporate corruption will also hurt the Dems. For instance Terry McAullife, who is head of the DNC, invested $100,000 into Global Crossing which turns into $18 million before the company announces bankruptcy. If you buy the line that ...

If you've been following the UN Tribunal's actions in trying war crimes related to Rwanda and Bosnia, then you know that there is confrontation of accusers, complete access to lawyers, family members and government representatives, and subpoena of witnesses. Even ...

No offense, but this is wrong. The ICC has *no* such mandate, and nothing like it. The ICC couldn't retry OJ. The ICC's powers do extend globally; this is implicit within its concept. But the Rome Statute is dedicated to enforcing a series of what might be termed ...

I would completely agree with the above. However, this has nothing to do with ...

It depends...

It depends on how you play (doesn't it always?). I am melee oriented and anyone who can't contribute to it always just stands around when the battle starts. I took a bard instead of a mage not because of his melee skills (he stood around when the battle started) or for his magic ...

I noticed prestige classes have only one column for BAB even when it goes up to +10. Does it mean that the BAB only adds to the first attack?

ex Ftr10/Dwarven Defender 10

ftr BAB = +10/+5
dd BAB = +10

so together +20/+5? Or am I totally misunderstanding the whole thing?

I was a little suprised at these results. I always thought that Secular Humanists were closet Socialists.

1. Nontheist (100%)
2. Secular Humanism (86%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (72%)
4. Theravada Buddhism (72%)
5. Eastern Orthodox (64%)
6. Islam (64%)
7. Orthodox Judaism (64%)
8. Roman ...

The Federalist Papers

Since some might not technically call this a book my alternate answer is The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.
