I would argue the opposite. A lot of people don't pursue worthy causes because they're unaware of causes worth pursuing. Plus, it's only on the 404 page.

Well, everyone is a hypocrite to a certain degree. It's the degree in which they're hypocritical which can be a problem.

Absolutely agree. The current registration and voting process many states have in place today totally discourages people from voting. I recall trying to vote in this year's primary elections and had to go through so many loops just to make

Insightful post, but don't take my word for it. I'm just another person on the Internet.

No, there is no difference. Behind every occupation lies a human with dignity, just like you.

If so, the laws need to change. There is no reason why this type of behavior should be condoned. Employees have a right to be legally protected from these shenanigans.

Changing the subject? I provided everything you asked for and it shows America blatantly disregards Article 6 of the NPT while expecting other countries to follow it. Hypocrisy at its finest. Cheers

I didn't down vote you and I'll show you hard evidence when you show me hard evidence Iran is in violation of the NPT. We don't want any sort of hypocrisy going on around here, right? What the hell, here's some evidence just for kicks: htt

The fact that some of these internet companies, such as Google, haven't taken a formal position is perplexing...or maybe not considering this may benefit their shareholders at the expense of society's privacy. Well, at least the non-profit

Holy macro! This is like a never-ending interrogation! But one hell of a good one, nonetheless. Great piece of stuff James and iPG! Should help out a ton of interviewees.

Is there peer pressure? Sure, but at the end of the day, everyone of them made a personal decision to make that pledge. Could they have redistributed their resources to more businesses? Ok, but they chose the charitable route. Are there peo

You are making the assumption inventors are primarily motivated by money. I doubt this to be the case. Furthermore, the sharing of photos and memories is known to have therapeutic qualities for humanity: http://www.photovoice.org/html/meth

Nice reminder to constantly put work/life in perspective. Shifting from defaults can certainly be tricky when you're jumping from one thing to the next and losing yourself in the monotony of it all. There definitely is a problem here, as we

Yep, the whole situation is just sad. Until both sides lower their egos, empathize, and treat each other as they would want to be treated, it's just going to be an endless cycle of conflict. Humanity deserves better.

Also, 1% diversified. If 99% of a company's social value isn't good, at least a percentage may be.

by rooshdi 15y ago
So, you support socially beneficial companies, yet object to companies diversifying their social contributions by a percentage or so? I'm sorry, but I just don't buy the argument that donating a percentage of equity from each founder would

by rooshdi 15y ago
You just explained the problem yourself. Companies put cash and profits over causes and people. The "1% of Nothing" initiative is only encouraging founders to invest a percentage of this cash to a philanthropic cause. If I understand corr
