Actually, his employer is the one who has control over his employment status, and he was fired for HIS behavior. Now, if you find his employer's reaction to this over zealous, you should take that up with them.

We wouldn't have Black Friday Christmas Brawls at the mall if it wasn't for the Cabbage Patch Kids. That was the beginning. Give them their due America!

"Those people posted those things themselves."

Many people have lost their jobs due to their activities that were posted on the internet (Hello Facebook). I would think someone working in the tech industry would be aware of this.

Well, actually, you should direct your ire at your company for firing you, they are the ones with the power there, not the person who took a photo of you in a public. And maybe you should look at your own behavior for which your company felt the need to fire you.

I just don't understand how men can be outraged when someone takes a photo of them in public and post it on the internet without their consent when they've been telling women to get over being photographed in public and posted on the internet without their consent..

Sorry, but if this fired developer was really classy as you claim, he'd…

Ahh, you, like many other men, went to college looking for a wife. Sounds like it worked out for both of you. The interesting thing is your concern that your wife isn't around for your children during their formative years, but it seems that you have to work during their formative years due to economic necessities…

Much to the chagrin of English teachers everywhere, the misuse of the word 'like' in American vernacular lives on to this day. Oh Valley Girls what have you wrought.

Actually, you're talking about a certain subset of women who have the option to stay at home or go to work. The vast majority of women have to work. And most women don't make it a career path to find a man to marry so they can stay home to raise children. Now, it may work out that way due to the cost of child care…
