What is wrong with our country

One of my friends is a Director at a large IT company. He has been there 32 years and is at director's level yesterday he had to interview to keep his job. His work record is impeccable and his profits are excellent.

Luckily, for me i am also at a high tech company and I am valued. I started when we very small and we have become fairly large. I bring in revenue which is the key for employment as you age. Too high up and they are looking to kill you.

Now that was basketball

The Spurs play great basketball. Fun to watch and should be the model for every kid watching how to play.GINOBOLI as Sir Charles would say.

Celtic's vs. Heat Game 1

That was one of the worst officiated games I have ever seen. As you all know I am not a Celtic fan and I think the Celtics ran out of gas in the second half and the Heat would have won anyway but my god was that bad.
Lebron throws his arm out on many of his drives to clear the way(like he needs it) and he never get's called for a foul. Pretty impossible to happen.
Allen beat wade to the spot and Lebron got a 3 point foul when he lowered his shoulder into Petrius in the 3rd qtr.

These two get protected.

marriage- civil ceremony

To me the legitimate argument to conservatives is this "Can you go to City hall and get married?" the answer is of course yes. Then why is religion even in the discussion. It is a civil ceremony and not a religious one. What legitimate reason is there against gay marriage?

Facebook- A big nothing

This is the poorest excuse for anything that really means anything. It really contributes nothing of substance. It's an advertising company. This asshole who is leaving- good riddance. You really did nothing for the real economy. You didn't develop anything to reelly do with high tech. no code, no innovation, just basically a pet rock.

Mitt Romney- The perfect republican candidate

As far as I can tell he has never done anything for anybody outside his own circle of well heeled friends. He was around during the great social upheavals of the sixties. There was the civil rights movement, Vietnam, women's movement and the beginning of the gay rights movement.
He went to France on a religious deferment and there is no history of participating in anything.

Furthermore his kids are exactly the same. He also only takes from the capitalist system and never gives back. He parks his money offshore and pays as little taxes as possible. He only does the minimum possible required to be a citizen and borders on being unpatriotic as he doesn't even support our own banks.

Like I said the perfect republican candidate- me me me me me.
