On many, many different projects and jobs down through the years I have hired who I wanted to hire.
I never hired those who I thought would cause a problem on the job. Never needed the hassle.
The Gestapo hasn`t came for me once.

Democracy is two wolves deciding on what to eat. Freedom is a well armed sheep protesting the vote.

bingo.

Education and experience are merely indicators. They are worthless in themselves.

It is the ability and a fit that matters. I have interviewed others many times. I've never even bothered to read the resume. Waste of time. I don't care that the candidate played football, or that he graduated from ????. What matters to me is what he can do, and whether he can be an asset to a team. And yes, a social fit is important.

A job is not a social service rendered by a company on behalf of a state. For every buck the employee is paid, he has to earn at least four. You can call me on numbers, but in general, after taxes, SS, benefits, insurance and all other overhead it costs an employer four times the salary to hire someone. And he, the employee has to produce at least that. If not, the employer is a suicidal idiot.

  I dont agree with imprisonment for a guy who doesnt want to hire someone. I think the gay guy has a right to sit out in front of the owners shop on public ground and tell people the owner didnt hire because he was gay, if that was the reason. But an employer should be able to hire who he wants to without government interference.
Agree

You mean, "What is Brazil coming to"?  Well, who cares?  'Cept maybe Brazilians.  Thankfully we've got the right to offend people here in the U.S.

Well actually I care. My wife is a Brasilian and that is where we will be retiring in about 5 years. Lula may be limpwristed for all I know but he is uneducated. He has a 4th or 5th grade education and he is using this a tool to garner votes. This is his second term and should be his last...one hopes.

disease spreads. Once a certain percent of people contracts herpes, I expect the government to mandate the rest of us get it in order not to ostracize those who already have it.

Same with nations.
