Let me rephrase it: Why did no one at Walmart realize that something was wrong with this picture before allowing customers to see it?
Maybe they didn’t notice that someone had messed with the sign until someone pointed it out.
You think someone messed with the sign??
For those that don’t like the term colorblind:
If I were the boss of a company looking to hire an accountant, what would be wrong in being colorblind in my choice?

Former Google engineer James Damore, who was fired for distributing a memo suggesting women are not biologically suited for certain types of work, is now branding himself as a brave truth teller. In what appears to be his new Twitter account, Damore can be seen wearing a shirt with the word “Goolag,” a play on “Google” that means to suggest the Silicon Valley search company is something like the infamous Soviet camps where prisoners were worked and starved to death as part of one of the 20th century’s worst genocides.
Google, which provides free meals, massages, and fitness classes at its Mountain View, California headquarters, pays engineers like Damore a typical salary of $162,000, according to Glassdoor, not including extra compensation like healthcare benefits, retirement savings, and equity. The company also offers its employees training opportunities, including volunteer sessions on subjects like diversity and unconscious bias.
You know, just like a Gulag.
What an ass. I doubt his 15 minutes of online fame is going to pay as well.
While I have lost all respect for this guy, people sometimes refer to overbearing people in authority as nazis, without literally meaning that they are the same as people that murdered 6 million innocent people.
Any educated person ought to know the historical baggage that comes with invoking such things.
Any educated person also ought to know the sometimes people mean things figuratively and not literally. I don’t think is any different than someone calling a forum moderator a forum nazi after getting banned by same forum moderator. I think he is using that shirt to make a point, not because he actually thinks Google is the same the Soviet Union. Keep in mind he was just fired from the company for speaking his mind.
I would think there’s a code of conduct he signed off on when he was hired that he broke when he posted that memo internally, as opposed to posting anonymously elsewhere.
possible
Bad idea to do it on the company dime.
probably true.
All I know is the overwhelming majority of Conservatives/Republicans are against the US Supreme Court’s ruling on gay marriage.
and may soon have the majority of the US Supreme Court
Soon? The Supreme Court has been a reliably Republican institution for generations!
The Warren Court has left the building, modern conservative Republicans have had at least a slim majority ever since. And Warren was a Republican too, just from the era when liberal Republicans existed. The problem for the Republicans is that as the Republican party races to more-and-more conservative positions, these lifetime Republican appointees on the court seem more liberal just by keeping to the same positions that got them nominated.
The court’s current swing vote, Anthony Kennedy, is a diehard Reagan Republican. Republicans own this thing already. The trick is that by today’s Republican standards, Reagan was a Communist Kenyan Muslim.
Was it conservative when it said gays have a Constitutional right to marry?
My understanding is that 1) conservatism values limited federal government; and 2) family law is traditionally left to the individual states. And therefore, if a state were to grant someone that right, the federal government would let them. What would be a federal issue is whether someone who is gay got married in one state but another state didn’t recognize it as legally legitimate.
I think what the Supreme Court said was states had to allow gay marriages. I think they said a state couldn’t ban gay marriage. I am pretty sure that is not Conservative. I also pretty sure Ferris would agree with me.
The father of the modern American conservative movement disagrees with you, so I guess conservatism is a pretty big tent after all.
Barry Goldwater is the father of modern American Conservative movement? What about Reagan?

Yeah there’s just not enough hate and condescension for people who haven’t shared our same experiences and hold the same point of view in this place anymore.
You think that that is all Ferris did? I disagree. I think a while ago, he was a great debater and made some good points. I learned alot about the other side from him. More recently, his posting style changed and I agree he did become more condescending. Hateful? no. I won’t agree that. But I will say that I have seen hate and especially condescension from some people here(not you) whom I would not call conservative, towards people that do not hold the same point of view as they.

I think it could be interpreted both ways. On the one hand, the government telling you that two men or two women can’t marry is pretty intrusive. That’s a more libertarian point of view. On the other hand, the government forcing all states to allow gay people to marry might go against the “states’ rights” point of view.
I guess we can agree here.
I also pretty sure Ferris would agree with me.
I’m not sure why we talk about Ferris so much.
Why not? We were talking about were the the ruling was conservative and Ferris is a Conservative and I know he disagreed with the ruling. Also I miss having Ferris here.

And out of the blue…
I favor universal health care. It’s really the conservative way. I could never, ever be a Democrat, but why does the Republican Party have to suck so much? The Grand Old Party should be taken off life support and replaced by a much more respectable and worthy conservative successor.
http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-conservative-case-for-universal-healthcare/
I’m not so sure a party that controls the Presidency, the Senate and the House and may soon have the majority of the US Supreme Court could be accurately described as being on life support.

Aren’t these people “doxxing” google employees some of the same people who were screaming bloody murder about CNN “doxxing” the reddit guy who made that Trump video?
I had never heard of the term doxxing until today. Yes, I have looked it up and now know what it means.
It’s supposed to prevent people from uploading TV shows or movies and stuff like that. I think you have to become a partner with them to get that removed.
I didn’t partner with anyone. There was a link to contest it, I did so, and that ended the blocking.
I was taking about the 15 minute limit.
How to you take something like that?
Luckily, the second amendment doesn’t protect any important rights, so nothing’s lost by its repeal.
I can only imagine Ferris’ response to this.
http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/10/media/jeffrey-lord-cnn-ties/index.html
CNN severed ties with Jeffrey Lord on Thursday, hours after he ignited controversy by tweeting the words “Sieg Heil!” at a prominent liberal activist.
“Nazi salutes are indefensible,” a CNN spokesperson said in a statement. “Jeffrey Lord is no longer with the network.”
Lord was not immediately reachable for comment. Earlier in the day, he defended his tweet by saying he was “mocking a fascist.”
That guy was a Trump-yes-man and clown anyway.
There are those who favor the abolition of all guns in the hands of the public (and I believe–correct me if I’m wrong–that Warbler is part of this crowd)
I’m not sure I want a total ban or not. Perhaps a ban on auto and semi-auto rifles might be enough, or maybe a ban on all auto and semi-auto weapons. At the very least, I think a lot more training and psychological testing should be required before being allowed to own firearms. I also think maybe one shouldn’t allowed to own firearms if they live with someone with dangerous mental issues or if they live with someone who has a criminal record.
Is a boy more into sports because he has a penis or because his Dad liked sports and the other boys liked sports and they all looked down on him until he liked sports?
I’m guessing it’s the latter.
What about transgendered people? When they are young, aren’t they given the clothes and the toys of the gender everyone things they are and they sometimes reject them and prefer the toys and cloths of the other gender?
Often, yes.
Not sure what your point is, unless you’re just agreeing with me.
My point is that maybe there is something about what gender your brain is that affects what you like that don’t like. You said that maybe the only reason a boy likes sports is because his Dad did and how other boys would look down on him for not liking sports. If what you said is true, then a person born with the mind of girl but the body of a boy would still end up liking sports and the same would true of toys and clothes, yet we know it doesn’t work like that.
Newsflash: Some girls like football and Star Wars, some boys like My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. A person with the mind of a girl but the body of a boy absolutely can end up liking sports and “boy” toys and clothes. You may think it doesn’t work like that but I guarantee you are wrong.
Newsflash: More boys than girls like football and Star Wars, more girls than boys like My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
But that doesn’t give someone license to outright tell girls that they aren’t employed in certain jobs because get-over-it. People can like what they do or dislike what they don’t. But that doesn’t excuse general meanness and bad attitude.
The point is, people should be made to feel welcome and respected in all walks of life, no matter their quirks. This man’s memo trivialized and belittled the women at his workplace. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t agree with his employer’s cultural viewpoints. He should have kept his mouth shut.
If anyone here still feels bad for the Google guy getting fired, you should know that he recently did a long interview/discussion with Stefan Molyneux, the extremely popular with the alt-right commentator who has admitted to wanting to force women not to be involved with men he claims are “assholes” and has stated that evil is passed down through the mother, even joking that “it’s jewish.” Molyneux has also admitted that he wanted to murder his own mother. He believes that race is associated with IQ and intelligence and encourages his listeners to disown their families for political reasons. This is the man that the so-called “victim” of Google’s diversity policy has chosen to align himself with. So, if you think that Google firing this guy was unreasonable, please elaborate on why that’s the case.
Ok, Molyneux is a bigoted crazy a$$hole, and I no longer have any sympathy with the guy fired from google if he wants to have anything to do with a guy like Molyneux.
That’s a very favorable description of Hillary. She was a horrible candidate. There are plenty of people who hate Trump that hated Hillary. Trump can be horrible, but you can’t treat people that saw the 2016 election as a contest between two hideously intolerable candidates (in different ways and to different extents, I know) as though they’re simpletons that watched too many Alex Jones videos. Trump’s victory is almost entirely to blame on Hillary.
Look, I myself couldn’t stand Hillary one bit. But I still knew enough to know that she would have been much better than Trump.
Anyone that couldn’t see that when they went to the polls in Nov 2016 was blind and/or their judgment was clouded and/or they vote for the Republican no matter what even if Hitler himself was the Republican nominee. Hillary was the normal average corrupt politician, Trump is much worse than that. He has no business being anywhere near the oval office. What blows my mind are the idiots that voted for Trump in the primaries.
Several different things that will just take us down the same path as before.
maybe, but I’d still like to hear what you have to say.
It’s already been said by many people many different times before.
Unless Frink told you what he original wrote, you don’t know that.

Well, look at that. Regardless, it’s still a really dumb thing for men to complain about.
Why? Would be it dumb for women to complain about being kept away from a showing of a Superman movie? What about the transgendered? Would someone with mind of a woman but the body of a man be kept out the the theater? Besides, can Wonderwoman movie be regarded as chick flick? This isn’t a romance movie, it is an action movie as well a comic book movie.
Edit: oh I forgot, I know why it is dumb to complain about it, because privilege, the thing that justifies any wrong doing, and insults to white people and males.
