They were, "Exercising Their First Amendment Rights". The problem is they had no such "right" to take off work to do it. Now they can "Exercise Their Right To Pursue Happiness", by pounding the pavement looking for another one.  Idiots.

Have an unexcused absence and get fired. It wouldn't matter where they were. They weren't at work where they should have been.

I think it just happened here at work... 8 months ago we hired a young lady with a recently acquired degree in Gender Studies. She showed up at the work Christmas party wearing a dog collar, with a really ugly, man-like woman as her date.  She'd been taking off a number of days recently that coincidentally coincided with protest marches.
We heard today she gave 2 weeks notice. I'm fine with that. I don't go anywhere near her and there have been a couple of incidents....good riddance.

I haven't heard of any firings at companies we by from or ship to.  Our customers actually came in to allow us to deliver, and many of the packers pared back or shutdown for the day.

Thing is that if they fire all of the immigrants the plants will close due to lack of workers to do the job.

Prepare for the big one.  May 1st will be the organized nationwide statement.

We on't hire illegals around here. People who do get turned in to ICE.
 Jay, they actually hired some one with that degree ? ? For what janitor ?

The last time I checked California spends just over 25 billion per year on illegal aliens. So if Trump shuts off the Federal money supply to them for one year, the wall is built and paid for with change to spare.

I'm trying to understand just what type of curriculum you would need to get a degree in, "Gender Studies"? Like perhaps 2 mannequins. One with male junk, and one with a bored hole. (Size dependent on how much "activity" she's seen). After the first 5 minutes, what would they do for the rest of the semester?

Are you forgetting the 50+ other genders that are neither male nor female?

From basic Jr. High biology, what part of X & Y do these idiots not understand?

Gender/Sex is not a choice.  You are one or the other, and no surgery or chemical treatment will change that.

This is a big drift, but it is one of the areas that explains the problems we are facing as a nation.  If people cannot accept an absolute truth, how can they begin to think about living in harmony?

what I find funny is most us don't give a rats ass what "gender"  you say you are.  all we ask is that you leave us alone.  the same with homo sexual.   we don't care what you do in the bed room.  just leave us alone and we will leave you alone.


back in sacramento ~ 60% of my clients were gay  back when ca was trying to pass prop 8( legal gay marage that got shut down hard by the voters)  almost all of my clients said the same thing.  " we already have all legal "married" rights in ca.  all this is doing pissing off the population and it will come back to bite us in the butt."   they were 100% right.  I saw it 1st hand, a very small portion of the lgbt population was making a big stink and driving the rest of said group nuts.   most of my clients were normal people that just wanted to be left alone, even the super liberal ones.  I had the odd loud and proud crap.  but that was maybe 1 in 100.  most were normal people just living their lives the way they wanted and just wanted to be left alone.


just like how a small group of open carry people drive us nuts and ultimately cost people their right to open carry( see the thread I posted not too long ago and the idiots in socal with open carry)

TAB's computer must have been hacked.  In the above post, the grammar is mostly right, and the words are spelled correctly.  Can't be TAB.
