Sounds more like I'm challenging your values . . . how can you not blame agents (people) for acting to further something you don't like? Those people have a choice, and they're choosing to further something you don't like, how is it not logical to blame the people for making that choice?

What you're saying is what's usually said about animals, "don't blame the bear for eating you if it's hungry and you're there". Only difference is that animals are pure instinct, whereas people aren't.

"don't hate the player, hate the game."

Why can't I hate both? That's how values work, I don't value his methods, and I don't value the person that chooses the methods I don't value.

'I personally believe that the "mysterious creature" concept stems from women being more emotional'

Why do you think women (as a gender) are more emotional?

and he's also getting a nice return on his angel investment in tellapart . . . which twitter acquired a month ago for $.5 Billion.

Congrats to Dick Costolo for being an angel investor in TellApart. Nice win!

Or how about an illegal bust of George Washington.

Or maybe they would've removed it, and until they did left it uncovered. Neither of us know what they would've done.

Not sure what China or France doing things has to do with how we do things in the US.

seatgeek has an amazing ui, maybe the best ui for finding tickets. That alone is very valuable. The problem is that with this round total raised is $100M. VC's expect to double or triple their money, as par. That sets a simplified expected exit valuation of $300M for this to be a success. Ticketmaster was last sold for $400MM in 2009. The bar for success is now extremely high. Anything below the high expectations generally means that this fantastic product will be considered a failure and most likely sold for scrap. What a horrible situation, why create these artificial expectations?

I think that's the problem, that this is considered fun. Some people also like to measure their dicks . . .

What are the specific acts that people of faith were being forced to perform or approve of that contradict their faith?

Unless you believe in an after-life or that God protects you.

yes, there are people that want to the right to not serve gay people at chik-fil-a.

Substitute the word 'same-sex' with 'black' in that famous example you mention and it should become obvious why laws like that are needed (and were needed 50 years ago).

Or how about the most obvious one, killing ie. wars. Conventional American Christianity and the military are very closely tied; how that disconnect is ignored is beyond me.

That's a fair response to that case.

Still curious about this quote: “We don’t do anything to thwart the content restrictions in China or other countries,” said Matthew Prince, chief executive of CloudFlare. “We’re a tech company and we comply with the law.”"

So if Lantern were a customer, would the outcome still have been the same?
