You're right, MS does. They also prospect people with no formal education in particular fields. One of my highschool buddies who went to University of Waterloo had 14 job offers from MS in his first year. He ended up joining them after he completed his PHD.
Simple, it's the same people who get into a hissy fit whenever someone posts something that's contrary to their view of the world. The group think on/. is thick, and the site is screaming in decline as noticed by the lack of comments on topics and poor commenting.
Pretty sure you mean they can't hear you over the sound of contributions, and special interest groups that are pushing for "amnesty." Man if I knew I could become an american citizen by pissing on the rule of law, I would have stayed in the US and said fuck you.
Are you saying that women have said this to you or about you in an actual business workplace setting? If so, where do you work? If not, what do you mean?
Not me, but I've seen it said about others. I've worked in several jobs when I was younger which were female dominated such as harness making(for industrial applications, and wire harnesses for aircraft). I've also seen it happen in fortune 500 companies, and I've seen it in warehouses and distribution centres.
I've been in the tech industry for 18 years... worked with hundreds of different women over that time. Not once have I ever felt the need to "defend myself against accusations like this." Why? Because it's pretty easy to avoid being a condescending sexist asshole, when you stop behaving like every woman is put here for the sole purpose of your sexual gratification.
That's great, I've seen men's careers destroyed because they refused the advances of a women. This includes them claiming: rape, assault, sexual harassment, stalking, peeping and several other things. Of course, as a guy you're pretty much 100% guilty, even when it isn't true. Then you're just a "guy who got off." At the end of the day there is no defense, it's game over. Even if you are innocent, and have been maliciously libeled against and even if you win the libel case, you're still screwed.
She's not talking about comments like "nice ass" as much as she's talking about comments like "die, you fucking cunt!"
"I hope someone rapes him in the ass." "I'm going to cut off your balls and rape your throat with them." And several other comments from women in various work places. Thinking that this is a singular issue, tied to only women need to dig their heads out of their ass.
I am beginning to suspect that they whole anti-EU campaign is not really an astroturfing (and use of the useful idiots) by the 1%ers to get rid of those pesky EU laws that are preventing unrestrained wealth acquisition by the rich at the expense of the poor.
I might agree, if I didn't hear stupid things coming out of the EU parliament like the ability to turn on any countries printing press and just print money to fix debt issues. Or the variety of nuts that believe, much like in the US and Canada that our "national borders" are pesky things and we should just open them up far and wide and let everyone in. That one doesn't go over well, especially with legal immigrants.
And if you go read what happened in the case of that Iranian Airbus, you quickly find out that it's a case of the Iranians putting the american ship on edge after doing aggressive maneuvers, including having a plane in flight earlier hat was acting in a targeting mode. Not saying that the US is innocent, but there was more going on then "they just shot down the jet." In Russia's case, they actually visually identified the civilian airliner and shot it down anyway.
Considering the actions of the UN, when it's Israel vs oh say...Somalia, or Zimbabwe no. If there was an equal standing on commendation I'd agree, but greater issues happen and there's nary a peep on them. In fact there's been several cases in the UN itself where the general assembly has supported those issues while on the same day condemning Israel. Again, if they were occupying you might have a point. Remember those wars? Right. And where's the commendation of Egypt with regards to Gaza? You might remember that Egypt is doing the same thing, and is assisting Israel to enforce the blockade.
So with that I'm of the opinion that there's a clear bias. As it rolls along, the only one who's said anything about you being a anti-semite or not is you, especially since you brought it up.
Pretty sure they didn't state that the UN is complicit. Let's check again, nope they didn't. They did however state it was a UN school, and this of course isn't the first time. You do realize that in doing so, hamas has committed a serious war crime correct? Of course the silence on this is deafening.
Yay! It's the crazy person who believes in crazy things. Next up, vaccines don't cure anything. They're a method of mind control, and that's why research takes forevar!
Funny that you say "deliberate strategy" and "war crimes" did you miss the story today about the Hamas spokesman saying that civilians should be doing their utmost to be human shields? Hello, that's a war crime. Shooting rockets at civilians, war crime. Targeting schools, and playgrounds in Sderot...well that's a war crime too. Building rockets inside civilian structures, war crime. Launching them from civilian buildings, war crime. Launching them from hospitals, and religious buildings, war crime.
If Israel was really about "collective punishment" they would have shut off power to gaza along with the water. They would also refuse to allow any of them to transit into Israel to work. They would also reduce food stuffs to the materials for basic nutrition. But they're not doing that either. Let us not forget that technically since they're an "elected government" and they're firing rockets. That is a full on declaration of war, Israel could with due-prejudice level every building that they even suspect that's involved. And fully occupy the area, but funny they're not doing that either.
The UN is as close to the most anti-jewish organization with a "humane" face to exist, and that's because of the OIC. But hey, while you're going on about that gag order. The people who killed the Palestinian(actually arab that lived in Israel) have already been arrested, and it's before the courts as we speak. Where's the palestinian government looking for the ones who killed the Jewish kids. And while we're at it, why was it at the first opportunity they started launching even more rockets. Nearly 1k in under 9 days.
Interesting moderation there. Gee there/. mod, something not sitting well with your limited view of the world today? I'm guessing it was the missiles found in a school in gaza. Not the first time either, it's much like hamas using ambulances to transport terrorists around.
Apparently I did. Otherwise Asia became the US going by your logic as well. And i we did become a part of the US, can you tell me where the cheap electronics are, and when I can find the prices for 1/4 to 1/2 of that compared up here in Canada.
If you consider the very wealthy and corporations to be society then what you write is true for most governments. But if you consider the majority of the electorate being society, then not so. For an example of what I mean look at the recent study from Princeton University and Northwestern University that reached the conclusion that the USA is an oligarchy.
Sorry, did I miss something when Canada became the US; or are you just happier posting something that doesn't apply to every country.
Then again, a study out of two heavily left wing universities saying the US is an oligarchy has about as much weight as the taliban saying Europe is a christian fundamentalist state, and Japan is ruled by hindu's.
Until there are laws that charge politicians with treason every time they knowingly do this, they will continue to follow the following formula,
There *is* a law on treason, this isn't treason going by your narrow view of it. Rather, this is what you want people to be charged with when they pass laws that disagree with you. In turn, governments have it in their interest to pass laws that in general benefit society. Quebecs protest laws are an example of this, especially after the spate of individuals masking their identities and engaging in vandalism, and attempting to riot for the sake of rioting. The courts on the other hand have the right to counter this, when there is a grievance by citizens against the government which is what's happening in this case.
Remember S1 of the charter in Canada? And remember that Quebec didn't sign the charter. Right, now remember that in Quebec they don't use common law. Put those three things together and what do we have?
The courts have already struck down provisions in law regarding both "reasonable suspicion" and "exigent circumstances." Slapping it back into the law, will ensure it ends right back up at the SCC and struck down again.
Considering I can easily point out the general craziness of liberals on a scale that dwarfs what would be considered "libertarians" pretty sure it's not pot, kettle, black. Or are you saying that the issues and policies that liberals are promoting today, are "good" for the US as a whole. Especially the current illegal immigration issue, or how about environmental policies that protect non-endangered animals.
Hey now, don't forget the on-going border stuff. Where the democrats are now saying "our borders are open" and the democrat LA mayor is working to provide shelter, while the homeless on the streets get nothing. To the AC: Democrats are beyond fucked up at this point, even RINO's seem sane in comparison.
And before someone screams 'lul republican shill' or something else insanely stupid, I'm a Canadian and can figure this shit out.
I'd say it has to do with the breakneck speed at which they've re-criminalized blasphemy, and stopped people from stating their point of view especially when it's "contrary to political correctness." Europe is pretty good at that, I can think of a dozen cases off the top of my head from Germany to France to the UK.
I haven't seen a mercury-filled blood pressure cuff in several decades, and when they take my temperature they stick a little electronic thing in my ear.
That's nice, they're in use all over Canada and Europe. After all, who wouldn't want a highly accurate manometer to check blood pressure. Or as every doctor I've run across put's it "more accurate than the cheap chunk of plastic that stops working all the time, while being highly inaccurate." Oh and in most cases, they use one on the end of your finger. But they still use mercury thermometers for a reason.

There's your problem, it's full of assholes(see other poster who replied to you).
I've got a second ID that's in the sub-5k's, and I don't think I've ever seen this site, quite this bad.
MS does hire people with less then that.
You're right, MS does. They also prospect people with no formal education in particular fields. One of my highschool buddies who went to University of Waterloo had 14 job offers from MS in his first year. He ended up joining them after he completed his PHD.

According to the Obama administration, there's nothing wrong with the southern border. In fact, the borders are even more secure today then a decade ago. I wish I made that up, even though they were warned 2 years ago about it.
I am beginning to suspect that they whole anti-EU campaign is not really an astroturfing (and use of the useful idiots) by the 1%ers to get rid of those pesky EU laws that are preventing unrestrained wealth acquisition by the rich at the expense of the poor.
