People must discriminate between choices. It is only when the discrimination is only to gender, race or religion that it becomes illegal. Also you have no idea what my hiring practices are. And you have no idea what my actions have been. So you are again just spewing shit out of your pie hole hoping to look good in you ignorance.
Who does this Muslim culture work for. Everyone. I mean come on they have had 1500 years. Are you stating that a terrorist watch list is equivalent to a beheading. Not that I think that everything the US government does is great. If you read my posting history you will see that I have serious problems with the US government. It does not however mean that I would post crap like you just did. What is the conviction rate of those that behead innocents on camera? Do you thing that everyone is trying real hard and just failing? Do you think that in the US the cops secretly like murders and just do not want to find people? Is this what you believe or are you just spewing shit forth in the hopes it will make you sound educated?
Pretty lame ad hominem there. You have nothing of substance to say, so you have to resort to “arguments” about “wrong headedness”. Sad.
Again, it’s a fact that “running a business” is not a basic human right.
Yes. It is.
It simply goes against the delusional pro-business ideology you have been brain-washed into, but it is your problem. Yes, you can try “making things”, but without the essential government services I mentioned, you will get nowhere.
It is funny that people were specializing and trading before government. I am sure that they just did not realize that it was impossible.
Your business will be robbed, cheated, it will be hard to find qualified employees, few customers... you will close in a week.
According to you people do not have a right to life. As they will just be murdered and run over by drunk drivers.
Ignoring another lame ad hominem, my education is OK as I can see benefits of regulated private enterprise as well as the place of government in a society. You, on the other hand, have been brain-washed into worshiping “business” as some absolute, while seeing the government as evil. It’s not justified by logic. “Business” is but one human activity, one much less important than surviving, feeding and taking care of your family, and fulfilling yourself as a person. It’s a means to better society, not some holy grail in itself.
Wow. I had not realized that I had set up running a business as a "holy grail". Wait, I did not. See what you did there is called a "Strawman argument". When a person such as you comes into contact with fact that makes you question your world view it makes you uncomfortable. This is natural. Some people come through their discomfort a better person, changed. Others, fight and rail against that which dared to make the feel that way. When in the course of arguing they find that they can not win they then add statements to those they argue against that can be easily shot down. Once added they shoot it down and feel as if they won. Now they are comfortable again and happy. Enjoy your bliss.
If it is an interview how am I to know if you will or will not do a good job for me? I have to make a judgement. I know you liberal OWS types think that judging is evil, but it is not. I have to make good judgement calls about the people I bring into my company. If I do not then my family suffers so do the families of those I may already employ. I have a what I believe is a moral responsibility to those people to do what I can to keep their employment stable and growing. Those that are doing a great job for the company do not want to see me hire fuckwads and hope they work out either. You can go have a life. You just can not have one that includes me giving you my money. I wish you had not posted anonymously. I would really like to know and I am sure many other employers would like to know who you are. You do not have the ability to disagree civilly. You do not feel the need to discuss. You think that I owe you a job just because you want it? I am not showing up at your house and demanding that you answer my questions then drag you out and put you to work skinning live alligators. Prospects come to me. To convince me that not only do they have the ability to do the job but the self control not to fly off the handle when something does not go their way and to then go screaming through the office "FUCK YOU". To work well with the employees I already have, and to grow with the company. I am not being a dick here. Really though it makes me sad that people believe like you do. You are not alone. You will find many who will pat you on the back and congratulate you for cussing at me. I fear that your many will win. That starting a business and making it work will become a thing of the past. That the pride that one feels when making their own way in life and doing it well will become unknown and even evil. Good luck with your society.
I like metal. I do not think you know what a club rat is. Your small scenario has nothing to do with how I judge people. Let me tell you though If your friend came in for an interview and called me dude I would think that he has no ability to edit himself for different situations. Even though I myself might use the term dude in a social setting. Judgement is judgement. I hope though you are not trying to tell me that attempting to judge a persons moral character before letting them become a part of my business is wrong.
Like I said. I am fairly sure I would know. And if I had reservations I (as stated) would most likely not ask the question and just not hire the person in the first place. If I was unsure of the person but they had a really good sob story and I felt the tugging need to help them out I might then need to investigate to try to feel better about hiring them so I could give them a job. My guess is though that this would be an exceedingly rare event.
Wow. I really wish I had the time to point out how wrong headed you are here. It is a very basic human right to make things or provide services that people find useful and to charge for it. Government spends a lot of effort making it difficult but we still got on. I am really sorry that the education you have received so far has robbed you of the ability to see this incredibly basic right.
Most people that start businesses work a crapload of hours for a long period of time to get their businesses off the ground and start making them profitable. This is why many never try.
I see that you are a bit angry. Despite your "fuck you" assertion that the "shit" I spewed forth was to justify the employers behavior. I do not see how you can truly believe that I can pour years of my life into an enterprise and if it ever starts making me money I am now bound to watch it get destroyed by any piece of shit that happens to come by and ask for a job. Also i can clearly see that you "don't give a fuck" about what someone else has done. Never did I say that having your own business makes you a better person. Neither does it mean that I am an awful person or that I should hire you to watch my business fail. If I am not confident that I can entrust my companies reputation with you then I will not hire you. Period. I do have a right to what I have earned. You one the other hand despite what your professors teaching you Bumblebee mating rituals and their relationship to the ever present whiteman racism told you. You do not have a right to what I have earned.
You are correct sir. Piracy is all about self entitled pricks. (and some people who are left out because it is not made available.) Copyright is also about self entitled pricks. Remember Copyright is a made up right that was invented to promote more copyrightable works specifically to enrich the public domain. We gave them some protection and they enrich the public domain. Of course the self entitled pricks now believe nothing should ever enter the public domain but they should still get their made up protections. I say fuck all self entitled pricks. And their grandchildren.
Above the law? You may like it or not but there is no such law. People should move back a bit and remember you do not have a right to work for me. The government is currently in the US trying to change that and the California government has so far done a good job of trying to make it a right but really it is not.
Now I know you want to scream at me and let me know that it is a right. Really though it is not. If I had spent 5 years doing 100 hour weeks to build a business I would rather burn it down than put some fucking "club rat" or "thug" where a customer can ever see them. It just is not worth the risk to me. You can go get a job at a club or working with real thugs. Your rights end where they threaten mine. Mostly I would never check Facebook profile. Mostly I can tell what type of person someone interviewing is. If I have a question though where I feel that a Facebook check would make me feel better about hiring you.... I just wont fucking hire you.
If you are going to read Eon you might as well pick up Eternity as well. Also. "Good Omens" is probably some of the most fun I have ever had reading a book.
L. Ron was an incredibly good Sci-Fi writer. Also an incredibly bad human being. Sad. I have always secretly hoped that he really was a good guy and that Scientology was a joke. You know. He got drunk and started telling people really fucked up strange shit and they believed him. So he just kept making it more fucked up in the hopes that at some point his "followers" would call him on his bullshit. But he died before coming clean and now we have Tom Cruise.
It does not matter what he thinks or what you think. What matters is the 500 people waiting at the door think that it is the best choice they can make.
Is there a difference? Really? One side tries extremely hard to minimize collateral damage. The other puts their base of operations in residential areas. One side goes after those who are killing their citizens. The other side kidnaps innocents off the streets and beheads them. One side goes after and punishes their own criminal extremists that murder people. The other side is never quite able to catch them but feels that they are not representative of the views of the masses and make sure to not judge them by the extremists on their side.
It really is easy. If here in the US 5000 white people walked down main street and started killing and raping Mexicans what do you think would happen? How fast do you think it would happen? What would the world say? What would the country do after? If in Afghanistan 5000 Taliban walked into a town and started killing and raping Christians what do you think would happen?
Your cover does not hold up. Just because a culture or a person is older does not make it more mature. Maturity is earned. Until such a time as Women can drive without being murdered for it, or openly state they are gay without being murdered for it, until such a time comes when a Muslim can stand on the street corner in Tehran and speak out against the wrongs he believes his culture is doing without being Murdered for it then I say they are not mature.
You can disagree if you want. You can think that it is we who are the truly evil murderers. You can even shout it from a bullhorn at a park on a Saturday morning. You have that freedom. Until you realize that the greatness of this country is that you can disagree with its policies openly and without fear and that this is why we have a more mature culture thatn those who can not then you too should sit down and allow the adults to converse.
I have to jump in here for just second. Lets look at the relationships built by Google.
Users: For the most part Google is bending over backwards to ensure their happiness. I get really decent and powerful search tools, a great free email, a phone number that rings all of my phones and allows me to screen calls on my cell phone, storage, and every once in a while I actually get an add that points me to what I wanted in the first place.
Advertisers: They hate Google. Google bans them willie nillie at the first thought of them screwing with Google. Advertisers feel trapped because there is nothing like Google for their ads and they have no place else to go.
Google does not give a shit about the Ad men. They do not have to. The money just keeps coming. As long as they continue to keep their users highest on the priority list the ad men will continue to flock. If Google stays smart they will make money hand over fist by never giving it a thought.
Hate crimes is a wide brush here in the US. I am pretty sure that this wide of a brush includes saying mean things. I think it was you that missed the point. The problem is a culture that when offended in any way responds with murder. I know you want to be all politically correct and state that in reality all cultures are equal. They are not though. Some cultures are not only different but inherently BAD. I know it hurts to hear ignorant people tell you that some cultures are worse than others. I feel for you. I really do. The point is that cultures that rise up en mass and call for the murder of a person because they drew a cartoon, or behead people because they are angry at a government are fucking backwards and bad. I know that "most" Muslims are not running around murdering people because their feelers got hurt. I am here to tell you though that if they want to be taken as a mature culture (actions, not age) they need to seriously pair down the number of fucktards that do. It is way too high. When 90% of Muslims crack down and lock up the.02% of fucktards in their culture while the other 9.98% do nothing then I will welcome them. Till then they need to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up till the grownups are done talking.

I will have to research this. Need me some of this I do.
It still wont work. Because the group receiving the LSD will never believe they are in the placebo group.
