I live in a Welsh speaking part of wales, and if i owned a company, i'd try, as far as i could, to hire a welsh speaking person. Id imagine that the percentage of people in Europe speaking welsh (but not from wales) are quite small. I'd imagine most other peoples would do the same. A german would only hire a german speaking person if he had any choice etc.
While many people in europe speak one or two other languages to their native tounge, your choice of place to move to will always be limited. Also, i dont think id want to live in greece, even if i did speak the language (no offence to greeks, im a cold climate person!)
The man has a point, labor mobility in Europe will always be less than in america, because we have no common language or culture. And anyone who argues otherwise is so ignorantly pro-europe he's willing to ignore the facts: Labor mobility in Europe NOW is tiny compared to the US. Why should this change?
Thats a fair point, but im sure they have made mistakes. They must have 'outed' a few people who were innocent. How do they know that the people they claim to be gay, are, in fact, gay?
but if this is their policy, and they take adequate care in determining who is gay, then thats not so bad as i thought, then.
Im against censorship, lets get that right from the start. What is happening here is wrong. But OutRage has a reputation of destroying peoples reputation by -forcing- them to declare they are gay. If they refuse, they 'Out' them (ie expose them).
Im sure many mistakes have been made, and hetro's exposed as being gays. They in particular seem to delight in exposing priests etc, citing their vows of abstinence as being signs they are gay. While im sure some of them are, surely they deserve the right to choose what they declare about themselves?
While i disagree with the censorship thats happening here, i think this is definetly a case of 'you reap what you sow'.
If they want to be treated fairly, given free speech, no censorship etc, they should give the people they 'Out' the same rights.
