Comment Re:Silicon Valley is overrated (Score 4, Interesting) 262

I grew up there and moved away. There is zero difference in talent. The difference is one of leadership and money. The money is already there, so there is where people go. The difference in leadership is, that's where they choose to live. My current company is based out of Boise Idaho. All the top execs I can think of have homes in the San Jose area because they like the weather. So naturally, they've opened a few more offices over there to justify their move to San Jose away from Boise. This costs the company a great deal of money as the techs they hire are paid twice as much as here due to cost of living. They don't care though.

Just because you're a whiny bitch that doesn't understand the English language doesn't mean the rest of us can't use words for what they were inteded for. Now go fuck yourself.

Couple all of that with your obvious lack of intelligence and for the life of me I can't figure out why no one would want to hire you

Your blatant lack of empathy combined with a seemingly non-existent intention to give people a second chance - they may have changed a lot since the transgressions in the past - is depressing. Behavior such as yours makes things worse. I hope I have gravely misunderstood what you actually stand for.

For starters, he expresses no remorse. It's blame blame blame

So no, he isn't hirable under any circumstances. Neither are you from your attitude.

So you were DUI (enough right there for me to pass you up for a job as I don't think you're a good person putting peoples lives at risk on the road) and 20 grams is certainly enough for any court to believe you had intent to sell it. Besides, you knew it was illegal but did it anyway. You now want to blame society for your stupidity.

The Westboro church isn't Christian. Just because someone claims they are Christian doesn't mean they are. The Christian faith is about believing in Jesus and treating those around you as you would treat yourself. The Westboro's believe neither as they held their preacher above Christ himself and certainly don't treat others as they would treat themselves.

Almost no one treats every part of the Bible literally. The parts that are to be taken as interpretations are pretty clear on the fact they are interpreted. This strawman atheists poor out about fundamentalists and literal interpretation is old, played out and not substantiated in fact.

The Bible is and always has been referred to as the "Inspired Word of God." Just as a movie is inspired by the book it uses as source material so the Bible is inspired by God but interpreted by man.

As to your other strawman about hate from pro-life, anti-gay etc I can show you ten times the amount of hate from your side just in your post alone. So get over yourself.

Because of people like you and your knee jerk bullshit in denying people their own personal opinions I am actively refusing to employ not just gays but also liberals and democrats. I will never again tolerate your type in my presence. You are the scum of the earth and will reap the consequences of your personal hate and intolerance.

Comment Re:Irony (Score -1, Troll) 1482

People's attitudes on this are extremely hypocritical. We rail against hatred and discrimination, and yet here we are with a "BURN THE HEATHENS!" mob mentality the second we find out about someone donating a relatively measly $1000 to Prop8. With the way some people are acting, you would think we just discovered that the guy was a raging pedophile. Did he really give out anywhere near the amount of damage that he and Mozilla are now receiving? Is this how we win the battle against discrimination? By replacing one form of irrational hatred and bias with another?

We may view it as poetic justice, but it's hypocrisy; plain and simple. People love to hate. The only thing that ever changes is who the current easy target is. Plenty of CEOs are vile, unscrupulous pigs who cheat on their wives and sexually harass female employees, but you won't see this sort of backlash against them because it isn't the current political hot topic.

Well, when your side of the argument is a crowd of self loathing homosexuals with absolutely no moral compass and a penchant for flying off the handle coupled with a need for societal acceptance of perverted behavior you can't expect anything less than torches and pitch forks.

Comment Re:Boycott California (Score -1, Troll) 1482

If the torch & pitchfork crowds are going after this dude now because he supported CA Prop 8, shouldn't they also call for a boycott of the state of California? You know, since a majority of their voters voted for the infamous Proposition 8 and passed it. I would say that voting for it counts as supporting it, right?

Logic means nothing to these people. They'll call you a horrible person for not washing your hands after going to the bathroom but throw you a fucking parade and cheer you for hours because you stick your dick in someones ass.

We aren't dealing with rational human beings. They are perverted, mentally ill people. Unless you join in their illness you are to be mocked, called a bigot and run out of town. There is no room for dissent.

Comment Re:This is NOT slavery (Score 1) 132

Even if I accepted that, it still isn't the case here. But even that is a stretch because the "Hollywood" version of slavery did exist. The agricultural industry of the Southern United States was based on it, and the issue resulted in a civil war.

The slavery angle is a stupid analogy by privileged and highly paid tech workers.

Now I know you're delusional. The civil war had absolutely nothing to do with slavery until Lincoln ran for re-election and realized he needed fresh blood to win the war. The slavery issue was after the war started, which was about states rights.

The agricultural industry was not based on it. Most people couldn't afford slaves and I don't mean buying them. I mean keeping them. Room and board as well as health care is expensive and unhealthy slaves are not productive. The majority weren't physically abused unlike what Hollywood claims. They were however emotionally abused and their families torn apart. A beaten slave can't work. It made no sense to do so unless they believed their was no other option. Besides that, as I said before, the vast majority of slaves did not work fields. You're free to do your own history homework on the subject. Your view of history is very juvenile and uninformed.

Nevermind the fact there are more slaves in the US today than there were when it was legal when you account for Mexican and Asian illegals. You could do with an education on what slavery actually is.
