Should all convicted criminals of a specific crime be released when the crime they committed is no longer a crime?

Yes? It that even a real question? Who would support keeping people in jail for things that are no longer crimes?

Also, while it wasn't a law to own slaves, laws still existed for slavery (3/5 compromise?) which had to be abolished when slavery was made illegal.
Laws used to punish women for speaking out against their husbands when abuse happened (these laws still exist in some Muslim countries). There were also laws prohibiting your from divorcing your husband wife in certain parts of the world (mainly a catholic thing). In civilized countries these laws were changed or thrown out all together.  Abolishing prohibition is also another great example of a past law that was repealed due to pressure from new social norms.

Regardless, How is changing laws to make things illegal based on new social norms any different than changing laws to make things not illegal based on new social norms? What is the difference? You seem to be fine with one but not the other, but they're essentially the same thing.

Yeah, definitely childish. They were insulting everyone?

I don't think this qualifies as harassment yet. Just let server admins know and they can ban them. If anyone sees them acting this way again please let us know.

Hello,

I want to marry my PC, have started ironing my dick so it will fit in card slot.

At the end of the day, I have a personal opinion, a business opinion. No two people will ever have exactly the same views on everything, and the same can be said about people and companies. As long as I tow the company line in public, I don't see a problem. In private what I do is my business.

Now do we want to get in to a privacy issue here?

Steve

At first I though you just didn't like that the company fired him for his views, but your first strawman sentence makes it seem like you're also against gay marriage as well.
"I have a different opinion than you" could be used to justify any bad viewpoints or behavior. Where is the line? I'd say it's at equal rights for all humans, but apparently you disagree, despite having no logical argument to back up your view. Why are you even here debating if you're not going to provide anything other than meaningless phrases such as "No two people will ever have exactly the same views on everything" What's the point?


As far as privacy goes, how is this even a privacy situation? When you show your support for a public movement, that's a public act. A private act would be telling a friend or family member. If it was actually private, nobody would know, unless a family member or friend leaked it.
Regardless, when you're a CEO, nothing you do is private. It's the same as if you're a sports star or a celebrity. It's to be expected. He knew what he was getting into, it's the life of a public figure. It might not be right, but that's life, and life never has been, and never will be fair.
The bottom line was his stance on this issue had a chance to have a negative effect on the company. This kind of thing happens A LOT, but is only getting attention now because it has to do with gay marriage.

 

Hello,

This did not effect his job performance, and was not done in the companies name. Some back stabbing **** has used this against him.

I am not a sheep, I will say what I want.

I am not a shepherd, I let other say what they want.

Well unfortunately you don't run the world. A business in the U.S. can fire you for practically any reason. There are some discrimination laws, but this case doesn't fall under that.
As a CEO he is the face of his company. Anything he does or says reflects on his company, whether it is done in his free time or not. He says/does something stupid and makes the company look bad, so they want to get rid of him. It happens all the time. The only reason it's a big deal now is because it has to do with gay marriage (which the media loves to talk about).
The point is, if your employment is dependent one someone else, keep your ignorant viewpoints to yourself.

Hello,

The problem is he was forced out because he did not have the same view on something as someone else.

The subject does not really matter.

What they said to him is that his "Free Speech" is not free.

Steve

There is no such thing as freedom of speech in a private setting such as a corporation or household.  It's a common misconception that freedom of speech covers everything. Freedom of speech protects you from punishment by the government and legal system, not from punishment (withing the law of course) by private jobs or communities.

Thanks but i dont really care for the honor, or is there something to it nowadays? How many people play on average?

Honor works just as it always has. It serves no other purpose other than helping you get higher in the order to pick your weapon slot.

The game isn't all that populated. The majority of our community is European. I think our highest peak of users online at once was a little over 200, but again, that was during peak European times. The North American community is a bit lacking, but you can usually find a U.S. server up on most nights.
