Lately on all applications, be it middle management or warehouse worker, all have required backround check and drug testing. A few even want credit checks. |

It's ironic to me that it's taken us over 200 years to finally start taking seriously the "all men are created equal" line in the Declaration of Independence, yet the Tea Party, supposed champions of the Constitution and Declaration have proved time and time again their utter unwillingness to support the basic, fundamental human rights that phrase implies.
Once again the far right proves its' shameless hypocrisy by pandering to the superstitious and shunning the disenfranchised.

Not saying you shouldn't learn more than one language, in fact i would encourage it, just don't count on it for a career. When I was a kid and found out dudes like to take it in the butt I laughed my ass off.

Stephen Colbert touched on this issue yesterday.
Few quotes, "This is an outrage. Bringing gay history into our classrooms teaches our children a dangerous lesson; that gay people exist." (In regards to a fox news quote saying they would rewrite the history books and say George Washington was gay) "Yes! How dare California say that a man in a powdered wig and high silk stockings was gay. Next they will accuse him of crossing the Delaware on a pride float." "If you're so eager for gay history, I will give you gay history. Gay was invented in Ancient Greece by Socrates, who came up with the 'Socratic Method,' which i believe is a gay sex move. Then the Visigoths spread their gay culture of pantslessness through Europe. See this guy swinging in the breeze here? I believed that's called, 'The Sack of Rome.' Then in 1504 an angry and depressed Michaelangelo sculpts his ex-boyfriend 'Dave' and gives him rock hard abs, but in a vengeful and bitchy move gives him a tiny canoli. Then after that, nothing gay for 500 years. Straights were on a roll until the 70s when gay made a comeback and Paul Lynde was given the centre square (on hollywood squares). Impressionable children who were home from school were converted, and boom, ever since it's been gay gay gay gay."

Things like Allen Ginsburgs challenge of censorship lose context without acknowledging that he was in fact a gay.
