156. if msnbc fires joy i will go elsewhere for my daily news fix....why do we sacrifice our brightest

...and best for some kind of purity test? Hell, to get where they are today these folks have had to climb the journalistic version of Mt Everest! Full of crevasses, steep cliffs on one side...un-climbable on the other, sometimes they fall down or slip but they get back up and go on...and grow on! Thats what makes them the best ppl they are TODAY! Because of how they struggled with their personal obstacles as well as the obstacles of their chosen field. And the lessons they have learned on the way.

I had a prof tell me once that if you have to hire someone to do a job, to hire a women (yes that was sexist) because they have had to struggle harder to get where they are today. But apparently that prof didn't take in the account the current climate of 'if you haven't led a perfect if we don't want you'.

I haven't read the post attributed to Joy, neither do I intend to.

The issue seems to be that you are conflating posts. Ninsianna Apr 2018 #164

The problem in that article is not with the Internet Archive Cuthbert Allgood Apr 2018 #168

It's true that some current iterations of Islam -- like ISIS and the Taliban -- aren't compatible pnwmom Apr 2018 #12

You probably should wait till Joy decides whether or not to label these posts hacked Azathoth Apr 2018 #17

That's only fair. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #28

This response speaks volumes. Nt NCTraveler Apr 2018 #61

The fact that you have stalked the Reid threads doing nothing but attacking me Azathoth Apr 2018 #112

What "past phobic posts about her"? Azathoth Apr 2018 #91

Yes, I meant past phobic posts, but the R B Garr Apr 2018 #92

I was talking about your post that was R B Garr Apr 2018 #94
