So, it seems that the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Samantha Elauf, the Muslim woman who sued Abercrombie & Fitch for denial of a job because of her hijab. 8-1 decision; guess who the dissenter was!

Can't think of a single photo where his facial expression doesn't imply, "oh dear I think I just poo poo myself." He speaks to the poo poo heels that blame everything on government ineptitude by being a government ineptitude elemental.

Brannock posted:I don't see how Walker survives any attacks on his economic record, even everything else he's done notwithstanding. He campaigned on 250,000 jobs for Wisconsin and instead Wisconsin is among the worst states for far too many economic metrics. They're dead last in the Midwest for job creation come on.

So why the gently caress would a company like A&F take a case like that all the way to SCOTUS anyways? Did the plaintiffs refuse to settle and kept appealing?

DemeaninDemon posted:A&F built its brand by becoming the whitest bread a upper-middle class douche has to offer. gently caress their owner even said poor people shouldn't wear AF because their filth stains the brand. Or was that American Eagle? Sample quotes from a 2006 article: "It's almost everything. That's why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that." "Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong." The quote you're thinking of seems to be attributed to an 'anonymous brand manager': "Abercrombie & Fitch doesn't want to create the image that just anybody, poor people, can wear their clothing. Only people of a certain stature are able to purchase and wear the company name." Their CEO walked it back in 2013, but yeah, death by guillotine.

I am to the right of the forum when it comes to amnesty, but its a preety small issue to me. Especially since I recognize you actually have to punish people who hire illegals. Which I recognize isn't happening, so I side with liberals because at least you guys are rational.

Not doubting you really, but I would find that interesting. borkencode posted:It's not just protestants now. A woman on facebook was rambling on about how she's Catholic, and even though she doesn't agree with every teaching of the church she's not a "christian". True it seems like its alot of Christian faiths, just protestants are an easy label to throw out. Its more whatever flavour of the month evangelical group are... I grew up in a place where one of those megachurches exist http://www.christianfaithcenter.org/ and this is in Washington State. Pretty much everyone who expressed that opinion went there and kept trying to get other people to join. Amergin posted:Korean Christians are a special kind of crazy, though. Yup... I remember a kid one whose family wouldn't let him go to mariners games because they were running "sodo mojo" ad's and those implied the use of magic which is tainted by Satan.

ComradeCosmobot posted:[*]The IMF came out with a pair of interesting reports recently, including one which suggests that Wall Street costs the US 2% of GDP growth each year This was a really good article buried in the OP, pointed out by SnakePlissken on the first page of the thread. quote:“Wall Street is back,” says the New York Times, and the economic cost is high. The excessive financialization of the U.S. economy reduces GDP growth by 2% every year, according to a new study by International Monetary Fund. That’s a massive drag on the economy–some $320 billion per year. Wall Street has thus become, not just a moral problem with rampant illegality and outlandish compensation of executives and traders: Wall Street is a macro-economic problem of the first order. Not an article I would expect to find in Forbes. On a different issue, this article in Mother Jones is about Brownback and the Kansas GOP controlled legislature attacking the Kansas Court system. The Kansas Supreme Court ruled that school funding was not equitable and a lower court found the entire system inadequate, ordering the State to correct it. Instead of correcting the system, which would require raising taxes, Brownback and the GOP have decided to destroy the Courts. It's a small version of what many GOP members of Congress are saying needs to be done at the Federal level. The most chicken poo poo plan is to: quote:expand the grounds for impeachment of a Supreme Court justice to include such ambiguous misdeeds as "attempting to subvert fundamental laws and introduce arbitrary power," "attempting to usurp the power of the legislative or executive branch of government," and "failure to adequately supervise subordinate employees." radical meme fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Jun 2, 2015 |
