It's the INTOLERANCE and high-tech lynching of people who don't toe the liberal line that is the real issue.
Plus the fact that Eich apologized.
No not good enough for the mob.
He must be ruined forever.
I used to think George Takei was amusing, but he's a big fascist.
My wife likes Modern Family, and I can put up with the silly antics of Cam and Mitch.
But I was so pissed off that this weeks show was ruined for me.
Not funny anymore.
People have the freedom within the framework of the Constitution as well as laws to do what ever they please in this country. Well, this used to be the case.
Individuals are being singled out simply because they hold to a differing view, and these individuals are being forced to resign from their jobs because a group of people didn’t like the way in which they voted, or donated to a cause.
We have the right and liberty to vote with our pocketbooks, and protest by expressing our views and choosing to take our business elsewhere.
Individuals who state such idiotic comments such as, “protests don’t work”, miss the point. It’s not whether or not “it works”. It’s our actions in and of itself that matters. If our decisions should result in a greater understanding, and change of ideas for the good, that’s perfect. If it doesn’t, that’s wasn’t the most important goal in the first place.
My wife also. I could watch it minus the gay couple but I'm not going to sit through the show simmering.
As the shows go gay I vote with the remote.
My thought exactly. I just walk away from such people, quietly -- like how I quietly(*) walked away from Firefox last week.
*-- other than a few posts like this one not using my RL name. I say "quietly" in the sense of "without making a big online show about it," in contrast to the mau-mauing of Eich.
