My CatCam caught (in between the cats) my cleaner sitting down and eating my boiled sweets.

I laughed. I didn't tell her. I left the jar there next week too.

Sorry, tell me exactly where I've said something here that's against homosexuals?

You're a blinkered prejudiced ignorant twat that makes bad assumptions about other people and acts on those assumptions. Including accusing people that call you on it of being a bigot.

Well done, you win the argument - idiots so often do.

So how come he's gone and they haven't? Even though he wasn't representing the company and they implicitly were?

erm. A (self-professed gay) anonymous coward posted a fairly long one a few posts lower.

However, if I had to stand up and defend Prop 8 then I could put forward an argument that marriage is a flawed institution that should have no Governmental recognition, and failing to support Prop 8 would be an implicit concession that marriage was valid and that tax benefits for it was appropriate.

In other words, you can vote against gay marriage purely because it's marriage.

Someone with that viewpoint has at no point expressed an opinion on homosexuality or the rights of homosexuals.

That's a very subjective view.

Not least, it includes the assumption that marriage is a right. It precludes multiple definitions of 'marriage'. It is in its own way just as fucking bigoted as someone that doesn't like gay people.

..and we're back to the Muslims that want you stoned to death for promoting homosexuality. Or are you also supporting Sharia law?

You see, they think you're the bigoted one.

So all Muslims should be sacked because they all oppose gay marriage (as a side effect of believing homosexuality to be anti-Islamic)? No CEO can be Muslim?

Someone's support for Prop 8 can't breach your rights either, so just what's the fucking problem here?

I'm just seriously confused that people are celebrating someone losing their job because they happened to express a political opinion outside of the workplace.

Yes, you do. Merely articulating your views at work is a form of imposition. So I'll rephrase my query in a form that you can maybe answer: If you mention at work that you're "glad Eich is no longer CEO as his gay marriage views are bigoted" and a Muslim colleague complains to HR that your views on gay marriage breach his rights to religious freedom, should you be sacked?

Incidentally, I've heard of 'right to work' and luckily I live in a jurisdiction in which that does not apply. So ignore the legality and tell me whether you should or not?

Let us know when you've written your book on your time as a tax lawyer. I want more of these stories :)

How does that show that he's a bigot. It's reasonable to assume that he's a highly logical thinker (due to his career history) so why do you assume that he doesn't have a very logical reason for supporting prop 8, and that instead he's coming from a position of ignorance?

Have you actually asked him why he supported it? Have you done anything more than react emotionally in an ignorant and prejudiced manner? Just who the fuck is the bigot here?

Depends. Does Ford give people equal employment rights and opportunities irrespective of their race, gender or religious beliefs?

Does the CEO lynch black people in the factory?

Out of curiousity, do you impose your homosexuality viewpoints on your colleagues? Would you consider it acceptable to be sacked for doing so? What if one of them were Muslim and found your viewpoints intolerable on religious grounds. Who gets sacked then? You the bigot for failing to respect his religious freedoms or him the bigot for failing to respect your sexual preference preferences?

Sacking people for what they think is wrong.

Indeed. He assured that the vote was properly informed by providing the necessary funding to achieve that.

You should be THANKING him for his generosity.

Personally I'd fucking ban marriage. Live with someone if you want to. Don't if you don't.

Yes. If the dude says and acts on his beliefs outside of the workplace and complies with the law and company policy at work then you have no grounds to do anything other than put up with him.

I mean, should we be able to get you sacked because you browse slashdot at home? Lots of people dislike that activity and why should they have to cope with you being in the same office as them?

Don't support thoughtcrime. Prevent actual crime. Being a twat is not illegal, or the prison industry would be even more profitable.

Please address his point about whether Mozilla should fire the employees that spoke out on Twitter. Is that a reasonable action?

Lorraine Bobbit wanted a vote?

They're the client. They don't have to act professionally.

And this is Pepsi. Everybody knows they're complete cocks when it comes to their main rival, and vice-versa. Deal with it, or don't deal with them.
