If he wanted to do things in his spare time, then he shouldn't have tried to get a job. Geez, what do you expect to happen? Slashdot readers sure do like to make mountains out of molehills.

You're one of those hippies aint ya? When someone says "why do you drink Pepsi when I know you prefer Coke?" you give an answer like "Coke was sued for underpaying blacks in the 1990's and I've never forgiven them!" Choose the best and most cost effective product. Don't judge the company that makes it. Otherwise you're just fucking up the system. Instead of the most superior products being on the shelves we'll have substandard products dominating the market share because the people who make them care about the environment or share some other wacky political ideal with the boycotting public.
How we know is more important than what we know.
This kind of "liability" crap is just sick.
And exactly how many companies do you run? Or employees do you have? Or business you have to drum up to earn money?
I bet that if you ever hired someone and they went around saying "Bananatree3 is an asshole-3!" you'll fire them toot-sweet. Or if they started talking about how lax your security practices are, etc.
I'm going to eat a lot of red meat and laxative, find the nearest publicly-accesible gopher hole near a street sidewalk or traffick intersection, drop my shorts, and just shit my goddamn brains out.
Who said I need a shovel to fill a pothole in a street? I'll fill all those potholes for free without charging a tax for my services.
When someon needs some fertilizer on their yard, I'll wipe my ass all over it.
When I hear someone complaining about graffiti in a public restroom, I'll paint the wall whence none graffiti may be seen anymore.
When I'm at Sea World in San Diego, I'll chum the penguin exhibit with my man-beaf chowder.
But goddam, don't talk to me about mountains of molehills! You've been writing that anoying phrase every other slashdot article. I wot none PETA involved again after my last battle with them on animal cruelty for suffocating a family of bucktoothed subterranean blind white niggers.
Under the Bush administration, any politically inconvenient opinion is grounds for dismissal. Just look at what they've been doing to scientists.
