You've lost me. Someone wants CEOs fired for shared beliefs?

Paging BigDave. Someone needs another time out in the troll room. Maybe BigDave will let you be hall monitor. HT is nothing but a troll. He brings no value whatsoever to the board. He's not even funny. At least you're funny at times. Here's where you can say "nope" and it would be funny.

So a goal that wasn't a goal a few weeks ago was met by the deadline that wasn't the deadline a few weeks ago. Success!

Today is the perfect day for the president to tout the success of Obamacare.

http://drbrianmattson.com/journal/2014/3/31/sympathy-for-the-devil Darren Aronofsky has produced a retelling of the Noah story without reference to the Bible at all. This was not, as he claimed, just a storied tradition of run-of-the-mill Jewish "Midrash." This was a thoroughly pagan rete...

I'll believe it provided 97% of all aviation experts agree with the story.

Again, when it comes to something as potentially damaging as this, if merely 20% of scientists agreed, we should probably take note. In my experience, "scientists" are not that much smarter than the general population and are about equally as honest. Agreed. However, when 97% agree on som...

"It's unfair to show off your body because it can make other people feel bad."

Yeah, that's always been my policy, too.

Having a messy desk and using a modern browser are liberal qualities? Huh. The things you learn...

Obviously you are in a different league than some of the others who have posted in this thread.

Agreed. I don't think I've ever seen Big Dave in a "nope - yup" back and forth with another poster.

Perhaps it's because as people mature, they assume more responsibility and make time to do what needs to be done.

Wow. You're heaping such praise upon him and noting his intelligence, goodness, and critical thinking skills for such phrases as "F the liberals" and "libs distort facts"? "More [old people] will still vote, because they don't have anything better to do..." isn't much ...

1. Sheila Jackson is an idiot and a race baiter. She is one of many examples of what is wrong with American politicians. 2. When Sheila Jackson is a VIABLE option to becoming the next Vice President of the United States of America and not just a US house of representative, then you might have a poi...

I wish that was still true. It's still the single largest source but produces less than half of our electricity.

I usually only get defensive like that when I recognize there's a kernel of truth there. I don't assume everyone is that way.

Achievement. Learning to fly. Making good music. Being a champion. Going to the moon. And "stuff" is a nice fringe benefit.

They should all vote for pro-gun control candidates in the next election.

Considering what all they've tried to obstruct, that's more a tribute than an indictment.

Uprising wrote:You think you should only have to follow laws based on your own conscience

Do you think you should always have to conduct yourself according to society's conscience?

But they should still be able to live by their conscience. I didn't think it was making a case for the baker: This is why the first line of analysis here has to be whether society really believes that baking a wedding cake or arranging flowers or taking pictures (or providing any other service) is ...
