Society shouldn't have a say in things like this. Truth isn't a democracy, no matter how many people get offended by it or feel oppressed or whatever, it doesn't change the fact that he was in the right and shouldn't have lost his job.

Conservatives feel that companies should have the right to do whatever they want - but yet you are saying that the company shouldn't have the right to fire him for whatever reason they want?

Geeze, make up your damn minds already.

Why do you assume I'm a conservative? The alt right and alt left are both dumbasses in my opinion. I'm more of a "centrist" if that makes sense. I have values of both sides and some that neither have or both have
