Implicit in the statement that it is ILLEGAL to discriminate is the statement that we should hold accountable any person or entity that violates those laws. You also ignore my point that corporations with a large DEI footprint now were very likely opposed to discrimination already. DEI is simply a way to sugarcoat other types of discrimination. I don't believe in ANY discrimination.

If Trump becomes president...tell us the bad things he will do

Your posts re: Trump are not factually correct and a bit delusional. I'll pass. Keep up the good fight!! -
I wish this post had a point to respond to but it doesn't. I'll just take that as you conceding that I destroyed you yet again.

I mean, seriously, Trump went in to a hostile environment, agreed to all of Biden's rules, and still kicked his A$$.

Are you disputing my assertion that corporations with a large DEI footprint are probably opposed to discrimination based on the characteristics that DEI is supposedly fighting for? Regarding your suggestions that are supposedly a "middle ground": 1) I would not favor making employees take a 1 hour online course. I have to do multiple ones yearly and I hate them. They take on the bias of the person designing the course. Just tell people you don't tolerate discrimination, just like EVERY OTHER POLICY where we just tell people what the policy is and if they are caught violating it we discipline them. These are adults. 2) I don't specifically think removing names from resumes is a horrible thing but it would make interviews awkward. Maybe we have multiple people interviewed at the same time, refer to them as contestant numbers 1, 2, and 3, and I pick one and we go out on a date. We can call it "The interviewing game." Those are the only suggestions I recall. If you had others sorry for not addressing them. Based on these two I wouldn't call that "middle ground." These are minor things compared to what is done at large companies in the name of DEI currently. On a scale of 1-100 where 0 is doing nothing, and 100 is where we currently are, adding your suggestions starting at the nothing end of the scale would move things up to about 3 on that 1-100 scale. Technically in the middle between 0 and 100 but not really what most would consider "middle ground."

Regarding the debate, I liked the format. I haven't been able to watch a high office debate to completion in a number of years due to the candidates just yelling over each other. I also thought CNN wasn't horrible slanted so that was nice. Overall, the experience of watching the debate wasn't bad. Not much to say about how the debate went for the candidates. I think that's obvious.

@The Real timschochet If you hadn't welched on your bets, would you be a little more concerned about losing them after tonight?

This guys in no shape to fock a sheep. Lol -
Are you disputing my assertion that it's illegal to discriminate based on the characteristics DEI is supposedly trying to compensate for?
-
Yep. Real Tim would be working at McDonald's if not for his dad.
-
That's ridiculous. It is ILLEGAL to discriminate based on the characteristics DEI is supposdledly fighting for. Beyond that, if these companies are bending over backwards in the name of DEI they clearly aren't discriminating anyways. If they get rid of all DEI initiatives that means they're going to discriminate? Makes zero sense. DEI is just a fancy way to discriminate in other ways.
-
Well, if dictionary.com says it it must be true. Look, I'm not going to get in to a semantics game with you. If you believe DEI hasn't harmed anyone than there is nothing for you and I to discuss and we just fundamentally disagree on this issue.
-
Making sure someone has a fair shot is not the same as DEI. DEI initiatives harm others so any benefits have to be weighed against the harm it does.
-
CNN did an interview today with one of Biden's top advisors and asked if Trump "deserves" a handshake. Nope, no bias there.

Trump talk only- no Eagles talk allowed (Steelers talk is OK though)

No dumbass. I'm like @supermike80. I don't trust polls. I just like to fock with you idiots who do. And @The Real timschochet has been big on polls forever. They are gospel to him. So focking with him when the polls don't indicate what he WANTS to happen is pure gold. -
In CA it's similar but it's $50, not $5.

Strike replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
He has a better track record than most. Nothing is perfect of course, but unlike most people who gave the 2016 election to HItlery before it even happened, he left the door open for Trump to win. But libs love to denigrate people who don't spew the party line like you so Nate is in the crosshairs. You have your talking points down. You're a good little soldier. -
