A New Meaning For Geotargeting At Monster.com

Posted by timothy on from the painting-with-a-broad-brush dept.

Duke submits a link to this New York Times story, according to which "it seems that Monster.com has taken the U.S. government's policy of sanctions against certain countries and run with it where no man has gone before. Monster 'has deleted resumes that list current addresses in those countries.' and more fun stuff. If you haven't had the opportunity for a really self-rightous post in a while, Monster.com has made it simple for you." Update: 04/28 01:34 GMT by T : Note that the New York Times ran the story, but like many other newspaper stories, the real credit goes to the Associated Press.

    If you can't even send so much as a marshmallow peep to these TERRORIST-RUN states, why the heck would you HIRE anybody from there? We should sever all ties with these corrupt regimes.

    Shucks, we can't sell these guys american frisbees, but we'll happily send FAT CHECKS over there so they can hand it over to their corrupt regimes?

    Really, I don't care WHAT monster.com does. They can choose to only show resumes from people named "Harvey" for all I care.

    Amazing. A FP that actually possesed some intellect. I would mod it up, except #1, I just used mine up, and #2, I'm participating... (-:Stephonovich:-)

    When the sanctions were in place the United States sent large quantities of food and medicine to help the common Iraqi people. Unfortunately, Saddam just gave the food and medicine to his military. The US decided that subsidizing the Iraqi military was not such a good idea, so the aid packages were terminated. Stop trying to blame the US for killing Iraqi citizens. We didn't do it. Saddam did it.

    BTW, using worst-case estimates for civilian casualties in the Iraqi war (aka Three Week War), fewer Iraqi civilians died due to our military intervention than would have been killed by Saddam's murderous regime.

    Also, someone tell former weapons inspector Scott Ritter to shut the fuck up. We don't need to hear the opinion of a pedaphile. Especially one that was on Saddam's payroll.
