"Being able to appear in public and being entitled to not be a slave to their husbands is a basic human rights" - not if the fundamentalists get their way and they have a book to justify it
He donated to the cause that wanted to deny equal rights so that is tacit agreement in the cause. How don't you get it? You are trying spin silk out of a pile of shit.
"Then at least acknowledge that the boycott push was an act of active and outright bigotry when Eich had (past tense) done something that some might see as intolerant"
not bigotry at all, to call it that says more about you not wanting equality.
" the response to him was far far worse than anything he'd done"
I hope you are kidding, pulling someone up for promoting/supporting inequality is the right thing to do.
"I am disgusted with the Illiberals' persecution of the supporters of the Prop 8" - Why? Everyone on this planet should be equal and fighting for equality is noble.
How many politicians would get elected if they stood up and said they weren't religious? Are you just as disgusted with the religious for making sure no atheists get elected or are you just selective in your opinions?
I'm with you on glamourising any violent people who are violent for their own needs but if someone is fighting an oppressive regime, that's another argument.
This has nothing to do with censorship. Boycotting a product/company/anything because of someones views is totally acceptable. If someone decides to take a job with domain over staff that is high profile, their views will be scrutinised so either justify their views or modify their views.
true and clarkson had a GT40 for a while. They do complain about some american cans not being able to go around corners safely because of the "barn door engineering", they love the power of the V8s but not the handling due to real old school technology suspension etc.
I'm with you there. There is no reason not to have a camera each side in the same place as door mirrors now. 2 cameras with fairly wide angle lens would cover all the blind spots. They could also be sited on the fins on the rear of the roofs that some of the more expensive cars seem to be sprouting. I think i'd prefer them on the sides of the vehicle so you have more chance of seeing what behind the vehicle that is directly behind you. They will all just need something to keep them from getting covered in ice or shit from the road spray or rain
Well, when your side of the argument is a crowd of self loathing bigots with absolutely no moral compass and a penchant for flying off the handle coupled with a need for societal acceptance of bigotted behavior you can't expect anything less than torches and pitch forks.
It was law in a few christian based lands not to be homosexual in thought (not just practising) and those laws were based on the abrahamic religions teachings.
Atheism is NOT a religion, its as much a religion as not collecting stamps is a hobby or not fishing is a sport. Religions only carried out atrocities in the name of their religion, the non-religious state regimes that carried out atrocities did not do it in the name of atheism. If you could point out all the "more of the rate hate filled Atheists than there were of Fred Phelps" rather than making self-affirming statements might help your cause. Don't forget the christian groups that encouraged Uganda into their latest anti-gay laws, ted haggard, pat robinson, jerry fulwell to name a few bigots.
Jesus didn't say nothing so he basically agreed with what went before. "Old Testament is an interesting historical document" - now that is stretching reality, why don't the same things in the bible all appear in real historical books of the same time?

he became an embarrassment to Mozilla so he had to go..., his views were tarnishing the image.
don't forget to add the Catholic Church to that list (and they hated gays, blacks, jews, moslems as well)
tolerance:- "the ability or willingness to tolerate the existence of opinions or behaviour that one dislikes or disagrees with"
THis is about someone in power in the organisation i.e. the power of hire and fire, not an employee who has not voting power within an organisation.

"not attack Brendan personally." - why not? he CHOSE to donate so he is personally responsible for his choice
perhaps call them "marriage benefits" to be totally accurate, or even more accurate "electoral bribes"

I think the only complaint to make is the presenter/editors who put the sound track on didn't realise electric cars don;t have ICE sounds
"They lied about their crash rating" - link ?
"They are breaking the law with their dealer ships" - oh fuck off, they don't have dealerships
"They are defrauding investors buy lying on their financial reports" - link ?
Well, that was a useless troll AC

Have you got a mirror that operates electronically and has a heater in it?
a wide angle lens will show more of the view than a mirror so won't need to be adjusted after its first setting.

"Besides, Eich has stated that he supports a diverse workplace"
is that his true feelings or just defensive spin as he is backed into a corner?

fixed that for you
and bigots are bigots, that is all
It was law in a few christian based lands not to be homosexual in thought (not just practising) and those laws were based on the abrahamic religions teachings.
i think its more for the gullible
"especially for the many gay people who believe and are Christian."
this i never understand, why believe in a bigot based religion, i.e. racism, homophobia, misogyny are its stock trade
