Now every corporate website has to have a Diversity Statement and they are feverishly working on a "Green" statement. What is next? How did we as a culture get to the point where "diversity" means everything except a straight white Christian male that believes in being married to one woman for life? I married a wise Latina girl and she isn't wise because she is from Honduras she is wise because she has taken Jesus Christ as her Lord and Saviour. That's a 2nd place I can live with! The debate of the President's chosen jurist was one of the most useless wastes of oxygen one can imagine. If a new President's selection of Supreme Court Justices are expected to be given the nod then what's the point if not kingship? A Dictator would not need endless, mindless discussion would he? Then if the discussions are negated in effect don't we have a Dictatorship when it comes to jurist selection? Of course she's going to be biased of course she's going to be pro-abortion and of course she going to be against the not-diverse crowd I am a member of. - person.of.nocolor Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:45:51 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5198#comment-1762 Old Dan said "Can I choose where my tax dollars go? The author does not want her tax dollars to fund abortions. Can I choose too? I don't want my tax dollars fighting an immoral war in Iraq that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis including tens of thousands of Iraqi children. How about bailing out the bankers? My tax dollars went directly to fund their million dollar bonuses. Can I choose? " Dan can you name one moral war? Also WE did not kill thousands of children in Iraq. Muslims are doing a fine job of that already without outside help. Your lying. The greater issue is abortion anyway. Focus like a laser beam on the issues that are even greater than tax funded executive bonuses like a decline in morality. Here are four truths about truth: 1. Truth is true whether you understand it or not. 2. Truth is true whether you agree with it or not. 3. Truth is true even if God is the only one who fully understands it. 4. Truth is true at all times and places, and situations. Therefore in the case of any discussion of affirmative action, quotas, racial profiling, by implication, the people that are FOR these systems are the racist ones. They are focused on race and focused on being judgemental with race as top criteria and the target is usually white people. The focus should be on intelligence, training, ability to communicate in acceptable English, skills, education. If given the option I never fill out EEO questions on job applications because I am person.of.nocolor who only wants someone to look at my skills and character. - person.of.nocolor Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:05:41 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5198#comment-1753 I disagree with most of what you wrote, but I'm very pleased to see a writer who believes that respect is important - we don't have enough of those on either side of the political spectrum. Keep it up! - Eyes Cream Sat, 08 Aug 2009 20:26:27 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5198#comment-1737 Sotomayor bases her rulings not off of law, but on feelings. Thus she gets her rulings overturned. I would love to see a woman on the US Supreme Court as long as they're qualified and not just there to fill a racist quota like Affirmative Action. - RichardR369 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 11:13:56 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5198#comment-1719 Hi, It will be a glorious day when groups outside of white males can state opinions without having to qualify their racial and socio-economic backgrounds. Unfortunately, that is not where we are yet. The integration of a variety of peoples within the decision making levels of society is necessary to get to this point. There has been affirmative action in North America since Columbus arrived, old boys hired their own through the desire for familiarity and the ignorance and fear of anyone or anything that seemed different. If a society wishes for the brightest and the best they do not subject portions of their people to twice the work in order to achieve and then cry foul when one of those members finally climbs out of the near impossible maze they have been subjected to. I don’t think that white males need your concern as a group, only in that, those in power have developed a stubborn blind spot to their own brand of affirmative action. When any person works dilligently and is refused advancement in society based on race or gender we all suffer. - Tracey Dey Fri, 07 Aug 2009 00:39:19 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5198#comment-1718 The author does not want her tax dollars to fund abortions.
