I think there is a time and a place to say your piece about the people you 'hate'. And this was one of those times that you are not supposed to spew your hatred on. But i do hope (really hope) that whatever Obama is doing or not doing will benefit US in the long run. (Yes, optimism sometimes is hard to swallow.)
No, but if you're a small business and 3 female employees get pregnant then that can be very damaging. I'm not saying I agree with it, but you can see from a small business owners perspective wanting to protect his bottom line.

So now being pregnant is a liability and loss to businesses? Come on, who cares if their pregnant? If they can do the job right, then that won't be a liability as opposed to someone who can't get pregnant who has no production.
Alas it's true.
Let's rewind, say, 5 years when the economy was solid and there's a deep skills shortage. If you're a business with 6 employees; 2 of whom are on the cusp of taking a year off then it may be extremely hard to replace/fill in during their absence. That's the reality of it unfortunately. If you're a business owner and you're interviewing a 28 year old girl getting married in 6 months, it may well factor into your decision making process. It does happen.
Sir, that situation you have is unfortunate. Why did you grant your 2 employees to take a year off at the same time span? And also, the girl is only getting married, didn't say she is getting pregnant or already is pregnant.
They're obviously more prone to requiing time off then.

...and they are a protected group. You can't put a sign outside that says Women need not apply. Just because women as a group are more likely to get pregnant than men does not mean you can disregard the individual woman.

So we can have a word processor now in consoles? i still think they should stop putting more and more for consoles because too much cooks will spoil the broth.
[QUOTE="DJ_Lae"]I think it's a joke. I still cannot comprehend why anyone would want to watch people play Starcraft competitively. It boggles my mind. I could ask that about other sports too like curling. No offense to those who love the sport. i just don't get the fascination with curling.
Well, maybe. Humans could have been leaving our solar system for centuries but we just don't know about it. Where are the Mayan, Aztec, etc. civilizations?
