        interesting. thanks for the info -- nm - sycor May 9, 07:26
        
        But you can fire them for wearing an orange shirt in those same states. Or for being straight for that matter. -- nm - spamlet May 9, 07:26 20

        I think I'm pretty consistent on deflating what seems like shocking statistics with reality. - spamlet May 9, 07:36 7
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Out of the 29 states, how many are right to work states? - spamlet May 9, 08:11 2
        
        The IM isn't an excuse. I would like to know how many are right to work states versus at will states where there is no protection either way. -- nm - spamlet May 9, 08:12 1

I get the feeling some people are critical just to go against the grain. nm -- nm - groiny May 9, 07:09 26
- Except for the camera and sound criticisms, I think Colin makes good points. - Inigo May 9, 07:38
- in some respects i agree with colin - tRuMaN (sarcastically stoic) May 9, 07:26 6
  - like which ones? nm -- nm - groiny May 9, 07:28 5

      - see, while this was my concern going in...... - groiny May 9, 07:36 2
        
        but first class did offer the character development, which is probably why colin liked it better. - tRuMaN (sarcastically stoic) May 9, 07:38 1
        
        For some of them, yes. For others, not. - Iron Spawn May 9, 08:10

        I don't so much care that you did not love it. - groiny May 9, 07:19 6
        
        i left the movie instantly feeling disappointed.. it took me a while to reason out why. - colin May 9, 07:21 3
        
        I think for what it was, it was perfect. nm -- nm - groiny May 9, 07:22 2
        
        Exactly. Above and beyond, in fact. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 9, 07:28 1

Priorities: The last time NC amended their constitution was 1875, to ban interracial marriage. This was not overturned until 1971. -- (link) - MDH May 9, 07:08 6
- honestly I believe that if the younger people in this state would put their vote where their mouth is this would never have happened. I cannot - sycor May 9, 07:16 2
  - I read some conservative Senator from NC who said it was only a matter of time before it is overturned - amoxy May 9, 07:17 1
