"The pope laments the decline of the social welfare state and praises the 'importance' of labor unions to protect workers. Without stable work, he notes, people lose hope and tend not to get married and have children.
But he also wrote that 'The so-called outsourcing of production can weaken the company’s sense of responsibility towards the stakeholders — namely the workers, the suppliers, the consumers, the natural environment and broader society — in favor of the shareholders.'"

The ABA is the devil!
When did the Pope become an expert on trade and economic issues?
I am not very religious, but I seriously think it wouldn't hurt to have a Catholic priest sprinkle holy water and exorcise the demons out of the Sullivan basement. Adultery, lust, greed, substance abuse, depression........ You have everything down there.
Tom, have you just given up on your site? You cut and paste a statement from someone else (L4L, the Pope), then let the comments devolve into AutoAdmit-esque juvenile idiocy.
I've noticed that agencies and law school sock puppets don't even bother to troll here anymore--they don't have to waste time trying to discredit responses that are already the intellectual equivalent of diarrhea.

It's great to read the comments from the Pope. It provides further spiritual buttressing to the fact that outsourcing based on greed. Greed, as most know is one of the seven deadly sins.
In our b ottom line culture, the downsides of greed are rarely examined. Outsourcing/offshoring is the worst kind of economy destroying, craven greed.
Go ahead and attack the messengers as those above do. Doing so only casts you in unfavorable light.
Its good to know the. Pope has given this important topic his attention. We all know the horrificly destructive effects that outsourcing has had on the US economy.
Greetings,
I hope this message finds you well collegues. It had Bern sometime since we enjoyed working on that matter, but I now hold funds for you. Please advise with bank info and pin, as well ad Amex number so that I can provide remittance.

End days nears.
The good old US of A was, and is not, a social welfare state. So His verbiage on this issue does not apply to this country. Remember, we are independent, self-reliant people.
You can't have it both ways: On the one hand blame the lack of financial regulation for our current economic state and, on the other, blast people for wanting to regulate Wall Street.

Huh?
Jesus Christ you guys worry about some of the stupidist things. No one is going to outsource attorneys work. That's why the state bar (not the worthless ABA) disbars attorneys for facilitating the unauthorized practice of law, and the state courts charge people with felonys (sometimes including jail time) for engaging in the practice of law without a license.
Even fooling around with monkey coding work is pushing the line when it comes to this stuff.

Regardless of whether or not the "good old US of A" is or ever was a "social welfare state", the truth of the matter is that it should be.
So we must move forward now to incrementally make it one. I am dead serious about this; if we do not change our ways radically, there will be no "US of A" to speak of in 10 years.
Many of the large firms are pushing document review off shore. There are plenty of reviews, but they are only looking for people that speak languages that are hard to find in India.

Not only do we see racists, facists and sexists all over this site, we also see illiterates here. What a fucking joke we are. Ha Ha Ha.
Of course there are illiterates because the Nigerians are here.
"I've noticed that agencies and law school sock puppets don't even bother to troll here anymore"
Sure!
Go to the Axiom posting they are there every morning with their line of bull.

That exact issue has been brought up many times here before. I guess you're a newbie.
I think the "joke," 11:46, is that it is unlikely that the same people would both blame a lack of regulation for the economic collapse and blast a demand for more regulation. Generally, the people who blast the demand for more regulation think that it was too much regulation that led us into catastrophe in the first place, not too little. Now do you get it?

You forgot a title like "His Excellency" or "The Honorable".
The Nigerians always have some ridiculous title like the Natives people meet on Gilligans Island or "The Island of Dr. Moreau".
It's unclear from the article given if the Pope is talking about the USA, EU, Germany, or generally anybody.
Historically, Popes have been "greased" in the past to change a decision, e.g., divorces, usury, or assorted violations. So, his decision may change. He must feel is base or money stream is in jeopardy, and or the act is so abhorrent he just can't ignore it, e.g., nuclear weapons, abortion, or slavery etc..
It would be interesting to note if the Vatican or church outsources or will stop doing outsourcing.
tastee fuck and suck today,
16ave. And 78th street
In a previous comment some noted that we don't talk about Agencies anymore. I hope this trend does not continue. A knowledge of who s**ks and who is half way decent is valuable!
Seriously what doc reviews are going on in NYC right now?
agency, numbers, rates?
wow,
I love nigeriaz
The tides of darkness are upon us.
I think the pope means "offshoring"
"No one is going to outsource attorneys work. "
Hi, New York Bar!
Hi, ABA opinion writer!
12:10
Over at Cravvie, there's a lot of doc review goin' on... Just check with Skeeter, Lil' Kim and the Snuff Man! They'll hook you up!!
Like anyone in the ABA is going to listen to the Pope. Half of them are probably jewish.
this site has turned into such a piece of troll infested crap that you gotta believe that Axiom is now running it just to completely discredit anyone who criticizes them.
this site used to be useful - now it's just an embarrasing and degrading piece of shit.
This site allows me to keep tabs on where Big Mamma is so I don't get eaten.
I am a "J.D." attorney and have been doing doc reviews on and off since graduating from Touro. I have $100,000 in debts in default, court ordered child support (my wife convinced the judge I was a "rich lawyer with great potential"),and can't even file for bankruptcy. I am at the end of my rope.
Honestly hearing the Pope's words gives me a little inspiration. Maybe time for me to look to religion for answers. I think this Pope is a serious thinker who maybe hears about the troubles people like temps are facing.
"this site used to be useful - now it's just an embarrasing and degrading piece of shit."
P.S. I'm from Lagos.
Yes everyone knows that things like the FBI website citing the Nigerian damage to the U.S. economy is false. Should not print facts like this. Just say how "nice" and "uncomplaining" Nigerian temps are.
What is Father Eamon's take on this papal declaration?
Job candidates should never bring religion into the equation. Attending church service on Sunday morning is fine, as long you provide both me and the client with written notice.

That was my suspicion as well--either some agency, or, by the tenor of much of the trolling, some Indian LPO trying to take the heat off.
the pope is making $22.50 in connecticut
The most interesting comments on this blog are made by "Recruiter," and the most intelligent and logical by "Dave Moss."
Say what you will this site makes me laugh - no one else has the guts to call out the asshole recruiters and the ghettos that people of such fine sensibilities like us have to put up with.
It is because of this site I have temporarily delayed my plans to end it all. At least others feel my pain as well.

The Pope is making $22.50 in CT and was slapped with a dress code violation by Update.
Father Eamon had diarrhea today and is resting but will be up later to comment.
Thank you for your patience.

The Pope is correct. His comments are a few years too late.
I agree with the Papal Father. Outsourcing does negatively affect a community. However, that is what the Dogs of Capitalism have decreed and it does not really matter what the Pope has to say on this topic.
Between you and me, and may the Lord forgive me for what I am about to say, the Pope's verdicts can often be achieved through suitable "donations", if you know what I mean. Mr. Yuppie Attorney is right.
This old chap may say one thing today and another tomorrow depending on who is filling the coffers at the Holy City. So please do not depend on him to be any sort of champion for this cause. Tomorrow some sleazy law firm partner with a tawdry mistress and a sweatshop in India may make a donation to the Holy Father and he will do an about turn.
Look in your own hearts for spiritual guidance. God resides in there.
May the Lord Have Mercy on all of us....

Not just any sleazy law firm partner, but a law firm partner that beats the shit out of his wife on a repeated basis and doesn't get disbarred, while someone who can't pay his student loans does.
Yeah, at least my dad didn't hit my mom. Actually she hit him a couple of times.
FUCK THE NEW YORK BAR, A FAILED ORGANIZATION RUN BY GLORIA ALLREDS.
FUCK NEW YORK LAW SCHOOL! While that Lesbo Nadine Strossen was helping to bail out terrorists, the crooked dean was ripping off young people with fradulent career stats, and then investing the ill-gotten gains in Bernie Madoff!
"Aw, fuck you! Fuck the lot of you! Fuck you all!"
Fuck you Dave Moss - one more negative son of a bitch!
Let's discuss something of consequence like jobs out there.

Dave Moss looks like a sick donkey.
Close down New York Law School!
This coming from a guy who has a security detail to match the president of the United States and drives in a bullet proof Mercedes Benz and has a campy wardrobe that is on par with Elton John. Fuck him. I suggest he clean his own house and that luxury condo he lives in called the Papal Palace.
