    - Just wait. You haven't seen the half of what the Obama campaign has in store. :-) - MDH May 9, 07:26
well, to be fair, you can fired at work in NC for any reason. We are a right to work state. -- nm - sycor May 9, 07:18 28
- (except for being a member of a protected class) -- nm - Reagen May 9, 07:18 27
  - this was a given. :) -- nm - sycor May 9, 07:19 26
    - but that's the whole point (not that this amendment was about equal protection). -- nm - Reagen May 9, 07:20 25
      - I think I missed what we are talking about. But, out of curiousity, how many states consider being gay a protected class? -- nm - sycor May 9, 07:22 24

        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

        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

        That's just a rephrasing of "the law in its divine justice allows the rich to sleep under bridges the same as the poor." -- nm - Reagen May 9, 07:38
        
        You can be fired for being Black - Bacon May 9, 07:35
        
        well the orange shirt thing actually happened. -- nm - Reagen May 9, 07:33
        
        Uh, two months ago people got fired for orange shirts -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 07:33 1
        
        Which I'll admit is total luck and not a great memory. -- nm - spamlet May 9, 07:38
        
        did you just actually use 'canard' in a conversation? - decline May 9, 07:33 3

That bit on TDS about making gun owners a protected class was amazing for the legislator's mendacity. - Reagen May 9, 07:16
