Wow, you actually changed my mind on this subject. I think it’s hard to be a “gun lobby” and lobby for restricting rights to the product you’re trying to sell, but I get it. It makes sense to ensure that gun buyers know how to use the product at least.

And the automotive lobby is responsible for every drunk driver? “They should lobby for stricter licensing requirements!”

No, Chicago has bad gun violence because the people there want to fucking shoot each other.

This will be used specifically to avoid police chases. And as it becomes more and more common, criminals will begin checking their vehicles over as soon as they’re in a safe location. I think this is a very real concern.

Ask Paul Walker. :/
Not attempting humor, just honesty.

I know you didn’t say that, I was trying to clarify what I believed Quade meant. “Good” and “bad” is very subjective, but it’s easier to define the type of image that Nascar teams try to foster (patriotism, etc). I thought Quade was taking a shortcut by saying “bad.”

I’m not talking punishment, I’m talking natural consequences. Cutting your applicant pool in half (regardless of quality) yields a natural consequence of reducing the average quality of employees. Now the fact that women don’t make up half of the applicants does significantly reduce the magnitude of this

It’s not about looking good vs. bad (very subjective terms), it’s about the image your company wants to foster vs. the image you give it. Nascar’s job is to make money, which means attracting viewers. If Petty allows drivers to kneel, viewers will turn away, which costs the company money. Kneeling drivers would

If I your job is being in public (or on TV) you can bet your ass that there are standards for your conduct when you’re “at work.” If Kaepernick wants to kneel for the national anthem at home, in the locker room, or even at a public event (that he’s not in) his employer should have nothing to say about it. But if you

I’m not paid to not be a racist, but I’d still expect to get fired if I said some blatantly racist things and you wouldn’t bat an eye. A manager has every right to fire you if you give the company an image that they don’t want.

Well now I can never go to Pikes Peak, because if I saw someone CHEERING for a crash like the second video I would undoubtedly be going to prison for murder. What a bunch of fucking redneck ass holes. That guy could have fucking died or had a life altering...fuckin...*deep breaths*

It’s a damn shame that this is the world we live in, and I wish it were different. I don’t believe, however, that affirmative action is a good solution. People will resist anything you try to force them to do, even if it’s the right thing. I’m afraid that it will only make things worse. Trump being elected as a

Yeah, around here (U.S.) I see a lot of regulations that just feel like protectionism and the only really act to keep new players out.

You talk of tongue lashings, but at no point did you actually refute his original point. Companies aren’t refusing to hire women in technical positions, there just aren’t as many women applying as men. Engineering is a great example. The engineers in my company are overwhelmingly white men. But if you look at most

Alright, I can agree that people are running Uber like a business, but I don’t agree that it warrants the extent of regulation that we have for taxis.

Yeah, because the government had no hand in the fall of Detroit! Right guys!?

Is it dishonest though? Uber was originally intended to be a ridesharing app, not a taxi business. “Hey, we’re both going to the same place, how about you drive me and I pay you for your trouble?” What is the practical difference between that and current Uber that warrants extra regulation?

You say you are not capable of being a bus driver. Do you really think you wouldn’t be capable of being a cab driver with your personal car? Being an adequate cab driver is super simple if you simply know how to drive and use a GPS. It’s not the same as driving a bus.

So if I want to give someone a ride to the airport, you think I need a commercial license, a background check, and a safety inspection? That seems excessive...

I think it’s kinda funny...
