"You can't work here because you have had other jobs before" WTF? The training he brings is worth it alone. How juvenile.
Ambi, if you lived in USA you'd probably be a democrat (depending how wealthy you are though, you might need to protect your $ as do the Republicans) Your post on page one asked so many unknown questions about Jake. That's where my liberal head is as well. No concern for a fellow human being on here. Instead let's make another million dollar bomb today. Don't eat for 3-4 days, just water. Then many empathy will start growing in your belly instead of greed and power. There are probably many things we don't know, and management had to make a decision, so be it. A vote for Jake from me. I didn't have to change my mind, as I always liked him. I see no problem with
prior employment. Thank-god, as I transferred jobs a few times myself.
May all beings be released from suffering.

Hugs, Kyle. You're always so kind to me.
In American terms, I suppose I would likely be a very conservative Democrat. (In generations past, I might have been a liberal Republican, but they don't really exist anymore, do they?)
In Canadian terms, I am what is known as a "Red Tory" (Jon - what Mrs. Thatcher, whom I greatly admire, though she wouldn't have thought much of ME, that's for sure - would have called a "wet" Tory.)
Politically, I believe in strong fiscal policy (balanced budgets where possible); strong national defence; and a strong emphasis on law and order in society. In terms of social policy, I believe in allowing people as much latitude as possible in their personal lives (as Pierre Trudeau once put it, when he decriminalized homosexuality in Canada in the late '60's: "The state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation"); a reasonably generous welfare state, not to go beyond affordability, but not to exclude compassion; universal medical care; and considerable investment in public education (on a meritocratic basis), in science and basic research, in the liberal arts and the humanities (in the universities and elsewhere), in the fine arts, and in public broadcasting.
When it comes to our comportment as consumers and fans of gay erotic video, my only wish is that we treat the models, as we would wish to be treated in similar circumstances - not as consumer goods, but as real, flesh-and-blood people, with their own pressing, and three-dimensional, problems.
In this latter regard, I think each of us is (though certainly not to be judged solely on the basis of his own worst post) chiefly as good as the way in which he treats his least-favourite model.
