    How do attitudes like yours help to keep people of color out of good jobs? How would you defend your hiring practices against charges of racial discrimination, considering the graduation rates of whites vs. people of color?

    This is where social networking comes in handy. I've had candidates track me down on LinkedIn and email their resume that way - I always look at those resumes since I know that it's not someone who's shotgunning his resume across every open job posting they can find regardless of relevancy to his experience.

    Ah, so it's cronyism then. Does this method comply with EEOC guidelines? What do you tell the inspectors when they arrive and ask how you respect racial equality in hiring? What's the racial breakdown of linkedin users versus the US population, and how could this be used to prove racism?

    Who do you trust? A reporter for the New York Times, or a corporate CEO? This is a no-brainer, people. One has the exposure of lies and the safety of the people in mind. The other has only corporate profits to think of. Which one do you trust?

    Way to confuse causality there.

    Have a look at the prize winners from the last 20 years. It's like an all-star list of left-wingers dear to the hearts of other left-wingers. Kofi Annan? Jimmy Carter? Al Gore? Yasser fucking Arafat?!?

    Then look at the earlier ones. You get these weird ones who just don't belong, like Mother Theresa or Andrei Sakharov.

    Funny, the story I got from that was an ordinary American having the nerve to question his betters, and being soundly put back in his place by authority. They went after him, bigtime. All for the crime of daring to ask an inconvenient question. They'll do it to you, too.

  11. Re:Bad headline on US CEO Says French Workers Have Three-Hour Work Day · · Score: 1

    The headline is what's known as "an inconvenient truth". If your culture approves of you having a 3 hour workday while getting paid for 7, then you have a 3 hour workday. I love your justification: "they're there for 7 hours, they're just incredibly lazy!" Frankly it would look better for the French if they just went to the 15 hour work week. Your way sounds worse

    Email issued by a university vice-president. Not surprised he doesn't know anything about common email frauds.

I think a prince from Nigeria may have some good news for him soon...

    What's the word for the intellectual fallacy you're using? I forget the name. We're talking about French workers being lazy and surly, and yet here you are (again) changing the subject to America.

    Yeah, one of the driving forces behind leftism right now is "people shouldn't need to work". This is because right now, people who work get the most money, and this is wrong (according to leftists). If we let people enjoy prosperity without working, then, nobody will work. This is a moral hazard. It's like letting banksters get away with fraud, it encourages destructive behavior. I know I wouldn't work if I didn't have to. Why not? Leech off the idiots who are dumb enough to bust their asses all day! I'm gonna sit here and play MOH2. LOL

    That's rather misleading. There was no government policy to create an open internet. It only happened because a bunch of free-thinkers were given the task, and they had to connect a bunch of heterogeneous systems. If it had been a political issue it would have been subject to all the wasteful influences that we know well. It simply flew under the radar until the government discovered it because internet started to be installed on their computers around 1995. Heck, Al Gore tried to claim credit for the whole shebang.
