What if you are a conservative catholic, and you learnt during a job interview that someone was a member of a website that seems to be some crazy end-of the world anti-religious cult?

Would that be a justifiable reason not to hire?

Would you support making it legal to refuse employment for reasons like that?

If I upvote someone who independently made the same point as me, under TDT am I abusing the karma system? :-)

I think you are abusing the karma system by making jokes that are hard to leave unupvoted. Please enjoy my upvote.

I am a little bit embarrassed by just how much of my karma comes from making pithy throwaway comments.

A sad and simultaneously joyful fact about the karma system. (Usually I try not to upvote jokes, but yours was too strong.)
