Shades of that poor Mozilla exec that was fired for having the gall to make a donation to a traditional family group.

Basically, it seems that the Google CEO and "head of diversity" are concerned that some of their employees may be feeling "hurt" by Damore's memo, and he needed to be fired for expressing his particular thoughts.

I've tried to not use Google for searches for years, and now have even more reason. But is Yahoo or any other search engine any better?

How ironic. Google verifies the content of the memo.

I avoided Google for years, but one of my techie reservists convinced me that Chrome is just the best engine. I switched from Firefox and haven’t regretted it.

Diversity isn’t diversity. It’s reactive selectivity.

Engineer proposes an idea, publishes a memo to demonstrate, gets fired fulfilling the hypothesis.

That's the ultimate Achilles heel of the whole liberal offended argument: The only way to continue it unchallenged is to discriminate against those who do not hold your beliefs.

And not so ironically, it is the VP of diversity who enforces uniformity of opinion.

So I guess this means than, since Google denies that there is any truth to this programmers opinion that perhaps, on average, women are not cut-out for being devs as men, then they only possible explanation of why google has so few women in the developer ranks is because the management of googles is actively discouraging or discriminating against women at google to work there.

If this guy is wrong, there is no other explanation - the EEOC should investigate why google actively discriminates against women.

James Damore tried to appeal to reason but reason has nothing to do with Progressivism. It operates as a quasi-religion and he uttered one of its highest blasphemies. Now he has been cast out of Google's corporate fold.

He stood up for what he believed and his actions will definitely be remembered. Sure, many will say it was an example of what not to do if one wishes to keep their job but, you know, life is funny. Who can know how his actions will inspire others to open up their minds in the future, to question the Progressive dogma they've been taught since kindergarten?

So if science and biology says that men and women are different, then fire the scientists.

But can’t California women just decide to be men if its better for their career?

Major corporations have taken on the role of trashing the first amendment. They do it by destroying you. That way the folks in government don’t have to play with words and definitions to convict you and throw you in jail.

Yahoo is just as fascist-liberal as Google, but without the money.

I read this guy's memo. Everything he said has been said by folks like Jordan Peterson.

Recently Peterson's YouTube channel was blocked and I believe even his Gmail account was blocked as well. Google owns YouTube.

Fortunately for Peterson he is so popular that there was enough backlash that his channel and email account were restored.

Not everyone is as popular as Peterson, so the rest of us better just shut up and keep our opinions to ourselves.

After all, we're all big bans of big business and "at will" employment. When corporations pretended to support Christianity (because that's where the bucks were) we were all happy to be able to express our opinions at work.

Now that corporations are pretending to support leftist paganism, it kinda' sorta' sucks.

This is an example of tolerance in action. Got to love “inclusion.”

Well, he's proved his point, now hasn't he?

Diversity is good--until you have an unpopular opinion. That's not the right kind of diversity, apparently.

I use Bing. From what I can tell, they're all liberal, but some aren't as rabid as others.
