He has a right to his opinions as a private individual. If he wanted to discriminate in the workplace, then that would be wrong. But he didn't.
Right now, I see Mr Eich as a man on the losing side of a political movement. And I support the winning side. But I don't want the winning side to become vindictive. And to me, it does look vindictive in how it's gone after Mr Eich.
Because there's no difference between a boycott by members of the public and an investigation by a government committee.
Because the people that stood up to the government committee in the 1950's did so on the principle that people in this country are entitled to have opinions and political positions that go against the mainstream, and should not be persecuted for those opinions and political positions.
SO, your logic is, the senators of cali are NOT public figures, what about obama?
What about him? The political/social beliefs of a politician can mean everything in terms of ultimat success. You don't like a politician's beliefs? Vote him/her out.
Right-wingers are claiming censorship where none exists. Nobody was literally forced to do anything. Mozilla had every right to say 'we don't care' with regards to the protests.
They are the most disgusting thing to mankind, especially the super duper flamers.
Really? And what about all the cases of rape in the military? You know, the ones those real he-man military officers kind of slid under the rug. How about all those proud straight guys taking pics with their camera phone under women's dresses? We had a guy get caught taking a pic of a woman trying on a bathing suit in a Target here in MA. Why not focus on these "disgusting" people?
Some of you really need to get a life and stop baiting these threads; then you wonder why we all come out to their defense, and call us members of the "gay army" as if one really exists....how about the army of "common sense," people that have better things to worry about than gays getting a shred of equality, that BTW, won't affect anyone else anyway.
Because the people that stood up to the government committee in the 1950's did so on the principle that people in this country are entitled to have opinions and political positions that go against the mainstream, and should not be persecuted for those opinions and political positions.
Call me when Eich is put in jail for failing to name his fellow travelers.
I look at it this way. I have supported gays being allowed to be married, as well as have defended them on these boards numerous times. However; not everyone is going to have the same beliefs, or opinions. Sure Firefox is within their rights to hire and fire whomever they please for whatever reason, but it kind of goes against their mantra of being tolerant of everyone's beliefs from all walks of life. I guess what they REALLY mean is we're tolerant as long as you go along with our beliefs. The man is entitled to his opinion, as well as his beliefs, and the money he donated in his support was his own money, on his own time, and was in 2008. I say leave the man alone, and quit trying to ruin his life! If you want support for your cause, destroying someone elses life in the process when they've never harmed anyone in the first place is NOT the way to go about gaining support for your cause.
You make too much sense!!
It is the "gay army" as I call it. Hell my younger sister is gay........aaaaahhhh........lol. She has common sense though and see's how ridiculous all this sheet is. Of course she is for gay marriage but these militant nuts who want to destroy somebody because they think different........they don't realize THEY are what THEY claim to despise. So it goes.
defining marriage between a man and a woman by the states is not discrimination, if it was we wouldn't be having this conversation. If you want to put it as a right in the U.S. constitution you know the drill *(I hope)
anti-gay rhetoric????? LOL........I guess I'm anti-gay now because I don't fit your profile on what is a "right" and what is not.....
Defining marriage in such a way as to exclude certain people from being a part of the institution, for no reason other than religious ones, is discrimination.
