Mozilla CEO Resigns Under Pressure

[Incorruptible]

This is just BS. He shouldn't have resigned and it's more intolerance from the left.

Yep, free speech is okay until you say something they don't like.

Agree. They are such hypocrites and full of crap. The double standard is getting out of control.

 

[John Connor]

Yep :thumbsup:

 

[natto fire]

Slippery slopes, strawmans, and petty name calling. Yep, we're in P&N country, folks.

 

[Incorruptible]

Yep :thumbsup:

The same idiots wanting him to resign wouldn't say anything if he said something which was PC. They don't believe in free speech at all unless you agree with their idiotic views.

Incorruptible, stop agreeing with my position. You're weakening my resolve.

I always agree with free speech and will defend free speech when it's attacked. Even though you're a liberal it's a good thing we can agree on this serious issue.

That's just exactly right. Call it "P&N" if you like, but it's the absolute truth.

The other side essentially gangs up on anyone who speaks their mind to shut them up.

Then they hide behind "free speech, but not free from consequences".

So rather than try and discuss the issue and maybe change that person's mind and heart, they just try and run them out of business. I don't see how that's honestly any better than what the Mozilla CEO believes.

That's the problem with these idiots. They want to force people to adopt their views instead of debating them because they're cowards.

Why have these idiots not criticized the countries that execute gay people? They're PC cowards.

Well I wonder what the response would be if he donated to $1000 to an organization trying to deny the right of blacks to marry whites. Do I think the same-sex issue is analogous? Most definitely.

And yeah Barack Obama was dead wrong on this issue.

Ironically, I'm not even married, at least in the usual sense. I'm common law.

He was wrong yet his supporters just ignore it.

Yet again intolerance is not countered with any real attempt at raising awareness and increasing empathy but by getting angry and brow beating people into submission.

Those who couldn't stand for Eich's appointment get the smug satisfaction of knowing he was suitably humiliated and punished for his viewpoints, but I doubt he learned anything about gay marriage.

He learned that a lot of people can't stand his bigoted views.

And I'm sure that's all he learned, aside from the fact that when you're in such a position you may be extremely vulnerable to the court of public opinion.

Haha, I love it! I can almost see the spittle flying as you typed that childish response. Did your face turn red too? Did you have a big vein on your forehead throbbing? Lol, what a loon and not a very smart one at that.

Typical Phokus -- if a post of his didn't contain at least one insult and name calling incident, it means someone hijacked his keyboard.

Hey, you know what, I agree. Let's get rid of this guy too while we're cleaning house:

"I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage." - Barack Obama, 2008

We can't have such a bigot holding the highest office in the land!

Why would i want to get rid of the guy who supports gay marriage now you low iq idiot bitch? Besides that, there isn't a lot of choice for the POTUS and i sure as hell am not going to support some shithead conservative which would be 100 times worse for civil rights. There is a LOT of choice for who can be a CEO though

The real spittle flying is from conservatives who all of a sudden aren't so keen on the free market when they realize that liberals have a say in how companies conduct themselves via boycotts. I suspect the real reason is because you fucking morons expect companies to be run by discriminatory idiots forever and that benefits you. Oops, the other shoe dropped on that one.

Edit: LMAO, i love how incorruptible is getting in on the action, holy shit, it's like a cesspool of conservative retardation now.

I always agree with free speech and will defend free speech when it's attacked. Even though you're a liberal it's a good thing we can agree on this serious issue.

Interesting how you'll attack the free market in 'support' of free speech when this isn't a free speech issue (because the government isn't involved), you typical low iq conservative.

Just out of curiosity, would the idiotic rightwing conservatives defending the CEO be ok if, for example, it came out that he donated money to the KKK? I doubt many conservatives would come out to defend him (well, using their real names anyway, i'm sure lots of shithead conservatives here would come out to defend him, hiding behind their anonymous handles).

Him donating to Prop 8 is actually worse because it directly impacted a civil rights of many people while donating to the KKK wouldn't actually impact much because they have no power. Fuck that guy. The CEO is a public face of the company. And Mozilla is supposed to be an open and inclusive organization as many tech companies are, even more so because they are an open source organization. If even his own employees want him ousted, that says a lot.

I'm sure Robert Byrd donated to the KKK, and many liberals supported and defended him.
How else did he manage to serve in the Senate for 50 years spending decades as the Democratic Majority/Minority leader of the Senate and also decades as Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee?

In the early 1940s, Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to create a new chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Sophia, West Virginia.[8][12]

According to Byrd, a Klan official told him, "You have a talent for leadership, Bob ... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd later recalled, "Suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[8] Byrd became a recruiter and leader of his chapter.[8] When it came time to elect the top officer (Exalted Cyclops) in the local Klan unit, Byrd won unanimously.[8]

In 1946, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo:[17]

I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.

—Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1946[8][18][19]
In 1946 or 1947, Byrd wrote a letter to a Grand Wizard stating, "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation."[20]

 

[Phokus]

So what would've happened if he had donated to Planned Parenthood and been fired/forced to resign? Would you be singing the same tune?

Oh and i forgot, another reason why i'm not too worried about this is because of what Martin Luther King once said:

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”

Liberals have been winning. Sometimes it's taken a long time (as we're seeing with gay marriage acceptance), but it's inevitable. Sorry this threatens you, just because you're a big baby.

Because he forgot to switch from the Democrats to the GOP like Strom Thurmond did when the realignment happened between the north and south and the GOP courted the south. Must i remind you about the GOP southern strategy?

I can't wait until spidey shows up in this thread. Has Geosurface been unbanned yet? Again, a cesspool of conservativism.

So why didn't his supporters lynch mob him like they're doing for this Mozilla CEO?

All this shows is that these scumbags don't believe in freedom of speech. They could have debated him but they were cowards and I am not surprised that these idiots attack him in the thread.

These people are pathetic lowlifes with no respect for freedom of speech.

 

[Phokus]

Probably because he was being disingenuous; politicians lie to get elected. He's in favor of gay marriage now (which is probably closer to his real belief), i see no reason to oust him because of that.

Again, NOTHING to do with freedom of speech you bitch idiot ignoramous. Show me where the government is involved here.

It's funny that you're attacking the free market over this though.

 

[lothar]

Because he forgot to switch from the Democrats to the GOP like Strom Thurmond did when the realignment happened between the north and south and the GOP courted the south. Must i remind you about the GOP southern strategy?

So because he forgot to switch his party affiliation from the Democrats to the GOP, that means he should automatically be awarded the position of Majority/Minority leader of the Senate by Democrats and liberals alike for over a decade and also decades as Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee?

Not sure I understand your viewpoint...
How does him forgetting to switch his party affiliation mean that Democrats and liberals should appoint him as their "Paramount" leader in the Senate?

 

[Exophase]

He learned that a lot of people can't stand his bigoted views.

I doubt he didn't already know this, although he may not have been aware to what extent that'd make him ineligible for other completely unrelated things.
