^ It's amazing to have the unmitigated gall to espouse such views when you're scheming off the top. These people have no moral compass or convictions they're like Saddam Hussein just hacks and political opportunists.

It's their business. They should be able to decide. If you don't like it, shop or work somewhere else.

When added up, the nine funds holding the stated investments involve three-quarters of Hobby Lobby’s 401(k) assets.Who owns 401(k) assets Zanzibar? The employee or the company? Don't know about you, but my 401(k) has always belonged to me, and I'm the one that chose what funds and companies to invest them in.

You may not trust Mother Jones but you can't argue with the Dept. of Labor:
and as for your "we live in a diverse world theory" all I have to say is "Touche" as it would be nice if HL understood that fact and had the same level of respect for their employee 'religious beliefs' as they want others to have for theirs. Originally Posted by Zanzibar789

Bonus question: how much are Hobby Lobby employees paid? Do you know? Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

I doubt if Hobby Lobby was even aware of the drug company holdings and I am sure the company will require the funds who handle its 401(k) business to steer clear of those investments in the future.So they pay attention to moral details that cost them money and overlook moral details that make them chingchang.

Do you people really believe what you're saying and do you understand it as well. NO ONE was denied any treatment. The only thing that was denied was the right of the owners of Hobby Lobby to have their religious values respected and that was done by Obama and Sebilius. Those employees had every right to go down to the drug store and get what they needed. Why do you think that someone has the RIGHT to reach into my pocket for their medicine (which could also be medicinal pot)? Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn
