If you think something is immoral, then your neighbor shouldn't have a right to force you to do it.
Nobody is saying that the people who are against gays should be forced to become gays, same as nobody is forcing the anti-abortion side to get abortions. You have no more right to discriminate based on your religious beliefs than they do on you. So bake the darn cake and put two guys on top - it won't give you gay cooties. Not doing so is an attempt to impose your religious beliefs on others.
And the cake-baker isn't part of the ceremony. Just bake the cake already. What next - refusing to give blood because the recipient might be gay? So much for the parable of the good Samaritan.
So you think that "King Tutankhamun lost the 2008 presidential election" is a true statement.
No, because he never ran. Duh! Just like I didn't lose it, because I didn't run. How many people did not lose at the most recent lottery because they never bought a ticket? You can't say they lost anything - unlike the losers who bought tickets.
depends on your definition of losing. I see you've chosen - if you don't try, you can't fail. Typical nerd tactic to not try anything out of their comfort zone.
I've had to do plenty of things outside my comfort zone. That's how we learn. A lot of those things I'm now comfortable with.
As for Carly Fiorina, as I said before, the only hope she has of not losing is to not run.
“If we want mainstream and the middle class going and growing again, we’ve got to get small and family-owned businesses going and growing again,” she said.
She has the experience - she made a large business into a much smaller business. It's like "how do you get a million dollars?" "start with 10 million."
Fiorina said she could appeal to voters with a “deep understanding of how the economy actually works, having started as a secretary and become the chief executive of the largest technology company in the world.”
If she's running on that "record", she's dead in the water.
The problem with that point of view is that Arduino SLR for years paid a royalty to Arduino LLC to use the name and logo. The Arduino SLR trademark was the equivalent of a "submarine patent" - one of the partners in the development of Arduino (who also did the manufacturing) filed a trademark application in his own name, before the group filed their trademark application, then waited years to pull this stunt, all the while paying a license fee so as not to tip his hand.
He only did so because Arduino LLC was going to go to a supplier with a much lower cost, so he was going to lose his profits from manufacturing, which are significant because he's selling them at 4x the cost of clones.
Since she has a greater than 90% chance of running, she has a greater than 90% chance of losing. This truly is a case of "the only way not to lose is not to play the game."
Arduino SLR only filed for the US trademark in September of last year, and it hasn't been granted yet. Arduino LLC (Massachusetts) filed in 2009 and was granted the trademark in 2011. So in the US, Arduino SLR is infringing on Arduino LLC's trademark and their attempts to coerce distributors are tortious interference.
The bougon nickname is the same as "Crappy Tire" for Canadian Tire, "WallyWorld" or "WallMutt" for Walmart, "Future Sh*t" for Future Shop, "Worst Buy" for Best Buy, etc. I've bought from all of them.. What I haven't done is succumb to buying on-line. My experience is that if you wait a bit and shop around, you can always get a better deal locally.
Did he file assault charges? Not discriminating means nobody gets a free pass for common assault.
SJWs see society as "us-vs-them." That will always end up badly. This lawsuit (Ellen Pao) was the same sort of shakedown her husband used to do, complaining about being discriminated against because he was black.
Well, if reddit fires her as CEO, she can always try DICE.:-(
It wasn't too hard to know they were the same business - plenty of stock at future shop had best buy shipping labels on them.
Every once in a while, future shop would drop the price on something, so you could go to best buy and get it at that price minus a few percent by bringing the ad.

You do know that the constitution is not the only law in the land, right?
You, born as a man, want to pretend to be a girl ...that is your choice.
So much ignorance, so little time ...

What you are engaging in is black-and-white thinking. It's not just a logical fallacy, it's also an indicator of mental illnesses.
Freedom is inherently impossible in any situation where there are restrictions, no matter how small they may be.
Oh, so my freedom to swing my fist doesn't stop at your face? There is no such thing as absolute freedom.

When you're in business you're no longer acting in your capacity as a private person.

I wonder how many cocks you have to suck to get that far?
Let's face it the woman didn't get there with her brains.
How about all the male CEOs who have failed, like Ron Wagoneer at GM? You going to make the same assumptions?
Played a lot of Super Mario Bros., Ms. Packman, Space Invaders, Zelda with my sister, brother-in-law, and their kids ... :-)

I got it right away - esp. since Bowser is one of the characters in the game.
Bowser != Browser.

No it's not. The best way to not lose at a lottery is to not buy a ticket.

Well sure, since if you do it wrong, you're going to be royally screwed :-)

I see you too followed the links and got to the blog with all the links to the really interesting dirt :-) It pays to RTFA :-)
I call them "Bougon en Gros" - but people outside Quebec who haven't seen "Les Bougon" won't get it.
They will explain to you that an increase in population necessitates an increase in employment as the additional people require goods and services
The problem with that theory is that productivity gains have meant that we don't need twice as many people to produce twice as many goods.
The poorer are getting richer. The rich are getting richer as well. This isn't a zero sum game
Not true. Adjusted for inflation, the poor are less well-off than they were 30 years ago.

Surprisingly, considering all the crazy "experiments" we tried as kids, nobody ever got hurt. Though there were some pretty close calls.
