You can qualify for \*unemployment \*for being fired unfairly, but AFAIK as long as the motivation isn’t demonstrably (or at least feasibly) because you’re a member of a protected class, you can’t get extra compensation and/or your job back just because your firing was “unfair.” And if sexual harassment weren’t illegal, you wouldn’t be able to sue people for it (fucking duh). > > Because saying that you can’t be fired for making a simple FB update is wrong.

The YouTube link is a scene from the movie “Michael,” in which a genteel old lady named Pansy Millbank, played by the incomparable Jean Stapleton, sweetly asks reporter Dorothy Winters, played by the beautiful Andie McDowell, “Are you impaired in some way I haven’t noticed?” It is not, in other words, a cite for the proposition being debated here, but a humorous aside questioning your cognitive abilities. ---

Ah, right. So, can we just concede that I’m right and move on already? Or do people want to keep coming up with cute ways to cover up the fact that they’re wrong? ---

I’m guessing you use that sentence every Thanksgiving and work party don’t you? Yes, please, victory is conceded along with six manors in Kent and a pair of earrings made of a unicorn’s testicles that heal warts, Tourette’s syndrome, gonorrhea and occasionally hiccoughs depending on the underlying cause. May future generations use your name or username as a synonym for “one who is right, could not possibly be righter, is in fact the gauge of right, and if in fact is wrong then wrong must be called right, for right is wrong, selah and hee-haw”. With a deep bow, I accept your capture. ---
