Love the reply, exceptionally informative. Thank you. I only mentioned the pay issue simply because DarthPumpkin equated the situation to Jim Crow laws, which is simply fallacious.

...I have that card...not mint but still shiny all these years later...

I was completely with you until you pulled a James Damore with that last statement.

The only implication I could find against diversity is the implication that he felt google was hiring based on filling quotas set by the government rather than ability. Ok that and the belief that pay is free market rather than an equality law being violated.

Intolerance of intolerance is still intolerance. Living is conflict, plain and simple.

Congratulations on misunderstanding every statement I made simply to fuel your need to be ignorant. You obviously hate your country because it survives off of socialist programs and services. Your ignorance of communism is painting me as a supporter of communism when I am not for either version (totalitarian political…

Look, I understand what you are saying. However, having your performance in the open air for all the world to see if they have the means is their fault. You can’t censor peoples eyes. It’s the proprietor’s job to control the venue and access. If you don’t want something to be accessible then you make it inaccessible.…

Let’s put it this way, say a person makes 7.50 an hour and works 60 hours a week. That’s 1800 before taxes. Let’s then add a low 20% Total tax deduction to make it 1440 a month. Now, let’s use springfield MO as an example with studio apartments as low as 415 (real crappy). That leaves 1025. Now, add in utilities minus…

They just don’t understand that there is a complex web similar to food webs. Working backwards is the rich do something to make money. Then workers assist and do the majority of the work. The workers require the public transportation to do that work. If they can’t do that work, then they can’t pay to create the demand…

They aren’t stealing a thing. Baseball teams sell their seats not their performance. It’s like Broadway performing in a glass building and passersby look in.

“Equality means the short guy gets the same chance as anyone else to buy a second box. Socialism and Communism mean we all give up our freedoms to give the short guy a second box because for whatever reason, he couldn’t get one for himself, even though lots of other short guys had no problem getting one on their own.”

Technically that minority group is generally the ones taxing themselves.... oh wait you were talking about the minority group within the minority group.

As a christian, even I agree with you. Although on a scale with the most disturbing things I have seen, microwaving a baby doesn’t even register...

1) The reactor at Fukushima was brought down by the tsunami, not the earthquake itself. The back up generators were knowingly kept at an unsafe elevation because money.

Of course it’s aliens, alien matter and energy, but alien none-the-less.

While I agree, it is necessary to keep them impartial as possible. Judges already don’t make enough money to really compete with private practices. they don’t need outside influences being able to have sway over them.

They are, and they are run by citizens. Those citizens are having their rights vialated. The government doesn’t require they sign anything or that it’s a corporation, they just send you an NSL and you can’t speak about anything pertaining to what’s in the letter. What limits there are I don’t know, but it is still…

I don’t argue that this is fine if the company can’t talk about it, but it’s the people that don’t agree to having their freedom to speak openly about what they experience removed by force and threat of law that I can’t abide by. A company is run by people and therefore those people should have the right to speak if…

It’s not the jobs going away. It’s not that there won’t be jobs in the future. It’s that people don’t have the money or the ability to get the education or skills required for these new jobs. Until we have infrastructure in place that supports citizens transitioning jobs, fear of not being able to provide for ones…

Facebook is a website on an international web. Simply remove their offices and the German government can’t touch them unless they pass another law that forces the IPs to remove the website.
