A New Meaning For Geotargeting At Monster.com

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.

    ... to say why I should give a flying rat fuck.

    Sorry, I guess I do need my opinions spoon-fed to me.

    I think the human suffering by the ordinary people is part of the intended purpose from the US government's point of view. They think that with enough suffering, the people will rise up against the government. They do the same to Cuba and North Korea (and Iraq before the war) and always urge the people to topple their government thru uprising or coup.

    Strangely enough, I seem to remember some very high-profile court cases about some country clubs that wouldn't let in female or black members.

    So, discrimination's only OK when those discriminated against live in another country and can't sue you, huh?
