Imagine how I feel, especially after the first shock I got on the thread about Spanish immersion schools when Harrier and Mircea agreed with me … I'm going to need heart medication too, after this week.

Maybe. But usually you or I will say "The sky is blue" and the others will argue that it's green.

Some people argue for the sake of the argument.

I am a contrarian however, there are some lines I refuse to cross.

Nope. He did what was needed to find work.

How is he a White Supremacist? He sounds exactly like Pat Buchanan to me..I bet you think he is a white supremacist as well huh? Just keep showing that left tolerance...only tolerance for those that think/look/smell/etc like you.
A business can determine what kind of person they want to hire and retain, and can make that determination based on what that person decides they wish to do. Being a white supremicist is not like being born with black hair, it is a choice...and businesses can choose as well. This is not a right or left issue, as both agree that businesses can make that determinaiton.

If he needs to find work, and he is so racist no one will hire him, that is not the fault of the business. He is his own problem. It is always amusing how racists love to use freedom of association to justify themselves not wanting to be around those they hate...up until people don't want to associate with them because of their views. Then it is horrible.

Pat Buchanan was a white supremicist and anti-semite. Even to the point of not wanting to be a part of World War 2 no matter if Europe fell, or how many Jews Hitler exterminated (Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War)...probably part of why he thinks the Holocaust didn't happen.

I don't see what the big hoorah is about. Even opposites can agree.

And as I said on the Spanish immersion thread, when people across the entire political spectrum think you're wrong … you might be wrong.

I don't think anyone sincerely thinks it's a big hoorah - just comments made in fun.
