Now, try getting a new credit card (again) and not have it hit your credit score while you try to transfer balances, etc. It's a gigantic PITA.

You misread... My proposition was not meant for people like yourself, who are dissatisfied with a particular bank's practices, but for those, who, like the Anonymous Coward above would like to abolish all banks.

In a typical Illiberal fashion, they are unsatisfied with simply not patronizing businesses they don't like themselves — they wish to ban them for the rest of humanity as well...

In my local area, a 14 year old girl was killed while driving an electric car designed by high school students.

The Justice for Janitors campaign in Los Angeles was quite successful at pressuring building owners to contract with unionized janitorial companies. IT workers could easily be unionized under the same circumstances.

Does that mean we threaten to take down a company's network with a virus unless they unionize? That seems to be the way unions act when they don't get their way. These are NOT isolated incidents. I've never heard of a union strike that did not involve some amount of violence. My grandpa (a railroad worker) had his car tires flattened when he went to work during a strike, even though the work he was doing was completely different than the union labor. In the case of theater workers, there were some theaters that were set on fire as part of a union drive. No, this is not something that would be positive for our industry. You couldn't convince me for a second that IT unions would somehow be magically uncorrupt unlike all the others.

You mean the guy who thinks there was a conspiracy at the Oscar's to make boos against him louder?

or the one who makes a manipulative piece of film and calls it a documentary?

Michael Moore is interesting and thought provoking but his work is definitely more one-sided and manipulative than the general media. (either that or he just isn't as good at being manipulative)

Christianity does not approve of the molestation of little children, or of anybody for that manner. The Catholic denomination does not support it, nor does any other legitimate denomination.

Oh, really? You sure about that?
