Comment Re:Isn't the solution to block Baidu ? (Score 1) 137

Shouldn't we block Baidu and make GitHub unavailable from China ?

You'd have to convince everyone outside china to block Baidu. And as for blocking GitHub for Chinese users, China would love that. The only reason they're not blocking GitHub is that so many Chinese engineers use it. If someone outside China blocked it for them, they'd be killing two birds with one stone: censoring the VPN info and making another country look bad.

They don't (and shouldn't) have the "right" to have Hobby Lobby buy them contraception.

Their employer doesn't "buy them contraception", it just buys them health insurance. And at that point, they can start minding their own business about their employee's personal lives. Why should details about your health care still be under the influence of your employer's religion? Your employer has no business deciding if you shouldn't get insurance coverage for a circumcision.

I'm afraid you're going to have to retire the "HATE THIS" meme.

From now on, you have to write the hooks to ad-laden drivel using the following as a guide:

<SUBJECT> <ACTION> <ACTION>. <NEXT ACTION> <MY DISPROPORTIONATE RESPONSE>

eg.

"He Downloaded Adblock And Installed. When He Reloaded The Page, I Was Amazed."

Ensure That You Capitalise Every Word For Maximum Impact.

I am split.

The free market in my wants the government to back off as I see abuse. A gay can be verbally abusive to me and my other customers but he can claim it was I singled him out because he is a minority BS etc.

However, if you want the benefits of no lawsuits and or taxes by being a limited liability corporation then expect demands to be met for this privilege. I can see this. If you do not like then be a sole proprietor where you can freely discriminate against. Just do not come whining when the lawyers come after you and the IRS wants to see 1/3 of your income.
