> German view of what the corporate and social hierarchy should be

Even _if_ I agree with you, you still need to show why it's bad.

> it is screwing over its workers, and German obedience and submission of authority has German workers comply.

At least Germany is not bankrupt like Italy, Spain, Portugal, the USA, and so on. And at least Germany is not enacting laws to weaken unions like it was done in the USA. Or at least the CEOs of Germany are not screw the workers like the American CEOs do. The average ratio wages of America CEOs to their workers is 354:1, compared with Germany 147:1 [1]

I agree. I compared him to a bigot, not to Hitler. But I don't think a bigot is fit to represent Mozilla as the CEO, and some of the employees of Mozilla agree and asking him to step down. He can surely still work at Mozilla, he is just unfit to represent it.

I disagree. Workers councils and unions give workers a voice in a company that they usually would not have. Without unions, and work protection laws, workers would be just like slaves to the owners of the company. And don't get me the "free market will solve it". The employer is always in a position of power of their employees, by the simple fact that there are many more workers available then companies. And with the rise of globalization, a company is free to just move to other countries. That is why we have import tax and trade agreements.

If you want to live in a country that treats their workers like in England in the industrial revolution in the 18th to 19th century, please go to China. But even there people now had enough and starting strikes.

I agree fully. I was just commenting on the current news and that some people here on Slashdot take offense that the employees of Mozilla have asked Eich to step down.

It's really funny how people can twist and construct straw man arguments. Eich supported a law that is designed to discriminate a minority. Your example is the exact opposite of the facts. It is not the users of Firefox that want to discriminate, it was Eich who supported a discrimination law.

It does not matter if it was anonymous or not. Eich knew the law about donations and that he must disclose his employer. By choosing to donate nonetheless he actively involved Mozilla in a controversial issue. If the Prop 8. was so important to Eich, then he could have chosen to leave Mozilla first and then donate, thus not involving Mozilla at all.

If you actively support laws that will discriminate a minority based on your religious believes, then, yes, in my opinion, you are a bad person. Now, don't get me wrong, I know that the majority of Christians and Jews do not support the discrimination of gay couples, but obviously Brendan Eich did. And that is the only issue here: that Eich supported a law that is designed to discriminate a minority.

Here is Prop 8.
"Sec. 7.5. Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
That discriminates any marriage that is between a man and a man, or a woman and a woman by the state of California. Yes there are same-sex marriage in California, as the California Council of Churches states: “By allowing the religious views of some faith communities to be imposed on all faith communities, our religious liberty has been severely eroded,” [1]
Even the church itself is calling Prop 8. bigotry
"Rev. Schlosser affirmed, “As faith leaders, we know that bigotry, exclusion and discrimination are not faith-based family values. We are committed to standing together for equality for all Californians, no matter how long it takes." [1]

You could rephrase it to:
"Sec. x.x. Only marriage between a white man and a white woman is valid or recognized in California."
Would you still be Ok with that?

I think you are misinformed. The workers voted down the UAW union at VW and not the works council. For some strange reason you need a union in the USA to form a works council (see National Labor Relations Act. My guess is the Act was enacted to strengthen unions in America, but is backfiring now because for some reason the VW workers does not want to join a union.

Also I don't understand why you think a works council is a result of "Germany's fascist and totalitarian history". Forms of a works council were introduced in 1900, by liberal owners of companies. Then the Weimar Constitution (1919) codified the works council. Under Nazi Germany works council were forbidden, and were introduced as law again in 1952.

And it's also not unique to Germany. In 1994 the EU passed the Directive (94/45/EC) on the establishment of a European Works Council (EWC). See European Works Councils. "The EWC Directive applies to companies with at least 1,000 employees within the EU and at least 150 employees in each of at least two Member States." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W...

http://www.reuters.com/article...
"Frank Fischer, chief executive of VW Chattanooga and manager of the plant, emphasized on Friday night that while the workers voted against the UAW they did not vote down the idea of a works council. "Throughout this process, we found great enthusiasm for the idea of an American-style works council both inside and outside our plant, " Fischer said. "Our goal continues to be to determine the best method for establishing a works council in accordance with the requirements of U. S. labor law. "

http://www.autonews.com/articl...
"Now that Volkswagen workers here have turned away the UAW, labor leaders within VW are going back to the drawing board to achieve their broader goal: setting up a works council to give workers a say in corporate decisions. "

> Running this guy out of town on a rail for his political beliefs is not going to bring that world closer. Quite the opposite.

Yes, I agree. But nobody is doing that (at least not me). Calling out on him for what laws he supports will bring the world closer to a world where minorities are not discriminated anymore.

> As a customer, I can decide who I do business with. As an employee, I can decide to quit and work for someone else. And as customer or employee, I can announce my intentions. But the final decision of who is CEO rests with the owners of Mozilla Corp.

Yes, I agree. But the employees can also write their opinions about the new CEO and write about their concerns that somebody, in their opinion, is a bad choice for representing their company.

PS: I'm from Europe and maybe we differ from the social customs, but in Europe the employees have a voice in their companies, too. It's not like (maybe, I have the impression) in the USA where only the shareholders or the owners have any say in a company.

If I have to chose between a "better web" and a world where gays are not prosecuted and are not discriminated any more, then I chose the latter, thank you very much.

> So basically, because this guy doesnt enthusiastically cheer for and support gays at every opportunity, he deserves the boot?

No, because he donated to a law that would remove or prohibit benefits, right and privileges to couples only because they were born homosexual. He actively wants to discriminate a minority because of his personal believes.

> Their crocodile tears on twitter do not impress, either, as they are acting like he victimized them just by taking the job at Mozilla. Thats bullshit.

No, Mozilla employees just don't want to see Mozilla, a brand that they helped to create, be associated with someone who actively wants to discriminate a minority. They are worried that a bigot like Brendan Eich is associated with Mozilla.

Strange reactions here on Slashdot. Some "insightful" comments here were about freedom of believe, freedom of speech, intolerance, separation of work and personal believes. Let me first explain that same-sex marriage have absolutely nothing to do with religion. The point of the debate of same-sex marriage are not some pagan rituals from aeons ago, long assimilated by the Christian church, that involves a priest and some blessings. The point of same-sex marriage is the recognition of a partnership of two people by the government on the state and the federal level. In the USA there are currently 1,138 statutory provisions[1] in which marital status is a factor in determining benefits, rights, and privileges. That are 1,138 benefits, right and privileges that gay couples currently cannot benefit from, because they were born like they were born!

Nobody is talking to force the church or any priest to marry same sex couples. It is only about the recognition of the union between two people so they can enjoy the same benefits, right and privileges that heterosexual couples enjoy!

Brendan Eich have all right to exercise his freedom of speech and freedom of believes by his donation to Prop 8. But you have also give the same right to the employees of Mozilla who opposes his bigotry. The definition of a bigot is someone who "strongly and unfairly dislikes other people or ideas" [2]. Nobody except Brendan Eich can know if he have this feelings against gay couples, but his actions are very clearly the actions of a bigot. How can somebody who does not strongly and unfairly dislikes same sex couples to marry donates for a law that would prohibit same sex couples to marry? (keep in mind that by marrying I mean that the state recognizes the union)

How would you feel if tomorrow a Prop 9. would be introduced that would prohibit inter-racial marriage? And if Brendan Eich would donate from his private bank account to Prop 9? Would you still be comfortable that he represents Mozilla as the new CEO? There is no difference here. Two people are forbidden to form a union only because they were born like they were born.

Again, Brendan Eich have all his rights of freedom of speech. But he represents as the CEO Mozilla, and his actions, also his private actions, are tied to Mozilla.

> Just because an individual may not support gay marriage does not mean they also hate gay people.

"I not hate black people, but black people should drink from a special sink, or should use a different entrance to bars". That is state and federal law what we are talking about, not some personal opinions. If marriage would be just a religious ceremony, then there would be no debate about gay marriage. But we are talking about the legal status of marriage, that have legal aspects, like tax breaks, property rights, etc. And laws against gay marriage are not about the religious ceremony, it's about the state and federal acknowledgement of a civil status. You are bear some people of some state and federal privileges because they are born like they are born.

> Leave marriage between individuals to the churches.

Yes, I wish. Tell that to the government. There are in the USA about 1,138 statutory provisions[1] in which marital status is a factor in determining benefits, rights, and privileges. Please let your government know that you would like to abolish all of them.

Eich's respond in 2012 is not very convincing. Just replace "gay people should not allow to marry" with "black people should not allow to marry", or "Asian people should not allow to marry". The issue of gay marriage have nothing to do with religion or personal opinions. It is an issue because married couples have certain advantages under the law, like tax breaks, property rights, etc. And to support a bill that will disallow certain state granted advantages to some people only on the reason that those people are born like they are born is bigotry. Eich should apologize to support such a bill.
