Then again, exterior drives keep your data safer in case of power surges, lighting strikes etc.

Oh, I saw Ant-Man tonight. Good fun.

Is the government infringing on your right to speak your mind? Because I really don't see that.



It's really scary when people are called to account for being jerks. Awful.




Nobody seems to be telling The Donald he can't say ridiculous crap. He certainly seems to be doing it on a daily basis.

Hmmmm...companies make business decisions about controversial people..and somehow that's intolerant. I thought that's how the "invisible hand of the market" is supposed to work. If it's bad for business you ditch it. Nobody is forcing those companies to get rid of those people. They're making a calculated business decision.



This is really silly.



What is possibly a thing of the past is there being absolutely no price to pay for being an asshole. Or maybe not. The Donald is an asshole on a daily basis and he seems to be doing just fine.

I hadn't thought of that, but you're right. In that case I'd still rather buy an internal hard drive and one of those plug in docks like this one, they tend to not break down like the built in USB chip on internal hard drives

You have the right to speak up and defend racists, homophobes, sexists, religious zealots etc. etc. . Who's stopping anyone from doing such? Just don't expect a vast majority applauding you. At least I hope not

Reason being is Islam doesn't have a huge successful lobby in America that actually strips rights away from American citizens, as Christians do. In fact, Islam has essentially zero influence in American politics, while every single American president since at least the industrial revolution has been Christian. People tend to be less concerned with the politics of foreign nations than they are with their own. On top of that, either the American brand of Islam is more moderate, or less vocal, but either way, if an American Muslim celebrity or spokesperson were openly bigoted against gays it would be career suicide as well. See, the reason being a racist is bad for Hulk Hogan or Dog The Bounty Hunter is because they are public figures. They are paid as entertainers. If they aren't entertaining, they don't get paid. Now, there are plenty of people saying racist and bigoted stuff and not getting fired, because they can still flip a burger just fine. It's a different standard. When you are a major public representative of a brand, the brand has every right to want you to be inclusive socially. Oddly enough, not a lot of Islamic fundamentalists are hired on as major public representatives of huge brands. Your right to be racist and bigoted is in absolutely no danger. Neither is your employers right to fire racists and bigots for making racist and bigoted statements publicly, on Twitter for example.

How has been prevented from saying what they think?  You've yet to address this.
