Here's StingRay02's statement:

To be convicted of a crime and chemically castrated for being a homosexual is inhumanly wrong. Whether that homosexuality is a choice or not bears absolutely no weight."

Here's your reply:

Sexuality, gay strait or bi, is biological and natural.

What I don't understand is why you bothered. He just said that choice or no choice, the origins of homosexuality are not the issue. And yet, you try to make it so.

Please don't.

My 24" iMac is doing pretty well and it's 5 years old.

Macs are supposed to last five years.

Actually, they often remain useful for about 8-years, although my 12-year old Lombard PowerBook is still in service. Can't really watch Internet video on it (they become slide shows) but, otherwise, it does whatever is asked of it (email, web browsing, word processing, etc.)

I'm sorry-- this is idiotic. Capitalism's only value is profit. But that does NOT imply that workers get the shaft.

What it implies is that worker's welfare is irrelevant except when it has to the potential to be detrimental to the company's interests.

By my observations in the U.S., I'd say that about sums up the issue. Employers are usually as "nice" as they need to be.
