Comment Beginning of the end was pandering to the SJW's (Score 1) 146

When the Comic Book industry pandered to the SJW's last year with the superhero 'Snowflake' and his non-binary twin 'Safe Space', it turned off a significant majority of their loyal fan base and marked the sudden downturn of the industry. Basically, it was the beginning of the end for the Comic Book industry. Why should it be saved?

Comment Cheap Labor (Score 1) 132

This is great, if everyone graduates high school with CS knowledge, we can significantly reduce the wages we pay computer programmers right now to the equivalent of the average retail worker. Great news for Google, Apple and Facebook for their bottom line and who employ thousands of (currently) expensive computer programmers.

Comment The more gender equality, the fewer women in STEM (Score 1) 200

Numerous recent studies show that in the most gender equal countries, far fewer women pursue careers in science or mathematics. https://www.theatlantic.com/sc... Given the choice, women prefer different things than men. Wow, what a revelation.... Now just waiting for the SJW's to counter this with more pseudoscience.

Comment Electricity prices are way too high in CA. (Score 1) 503

People who have switched to electric vehicles in California are finding out its cheaper to drive gas powered vehicles due to California's mismanagement of public utilities (namely electric companies) which make California one of the most expensive states in the nation to buy electricity from.

Comment Re:Is there anything wrong with this? (Score 1) 754

What are you? A fucking child? I don't love all of my coworkers. I don't agree with many of their political views. The salient factor - the only factor of any importance - is if they can do the job. Be an adult and a professional, and praise and elevate competent people. Shunning people because, boo hoo, they said something mean about X, and it hurts my feelings just to look at them, would seriously get you punted out of my company if I had anything to say about it. We're here to get a job done, expediently, correctly, competitively with the best group of people to make it so. We're not here to massage egos, create safe spaces, or coddle people.

Agree with you completely! What Google has effectively admitted to doing in allowing managers to keep blacklists of people who are too offended to work together is the equivalent of Safe Spaces in the workplace!

Comment Political Correctness gone haywire (Score 1) 706

The idea of political correctness in this country is so warped that thought crimes are now punishable by jail sentences & convictions. Most schools now implement a 'zero-tolerance' policy. These politically correct zero tolerance policies are designed to prevent bullying, but in fact do the opposite. At my nephews middle school, the principal stated on the first day of school that if anyone were to attack a student, the student could not fight back. Fighting back would result is severe disciplinary action (ie. zero tolerance) against both students and that the proper response was to lay on the ground (while presumably being beaten unconscious) and wait for help to arrive. Political correctness has become so extreme that even the right to self-defense has been eschewed.
