      Not really, since it wasn't about if you'd work to help Bush or not, I just picked Bush as the enemy in the first story... I believe a situation could happen where working for the "enemy" would only help the enemy...

        My boss' boss a liberal. He is on the school board that allowed that teacher in cupertino not to teach the decleration of independence because it has a reference to god in it.

        I respect people for their success in what they do, and learn from them in order to also be successful in what I do. I don't respect people for their opinions or political slant.

        Yes, I would take the job and I would do the best I could do.

          Maybe you'll change your opinion of the loathed after working with it for a while.
          It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars

            Like the other scenario where you're working at some SM club which you hate, but working there would probably not help you getting SM banned or something like that...

              See I couldn't do that . . . If I am going to take someone's money to work for them I am going to give an honest effort. If I cannot do that, I probably wouldn't take the job.

                I always work for my enemy.

                  Why not? Undermine the organization from within, and get them to pay your for it.

                    I would take the job, only because i have a family to support. And a quick question for those who stated to ruin the employer cant you get in legal trouble of some sort if you did things like this? I remember asher saying something like if the company he works for didnt allow gays to work there he flipp them off and take their secrets to the competitor, Isnt that illegal?

                        Depends on the enemy. I wouldnt work for a political enemy (besides, i'd be ejected from the party if i did) but apart from that I suppose it'd be a matter of how bad i thought the organisation was and the exact job I was going to do for them.

                            What's the point of having any beliefs if you don't let them influence what you do?

                              To me this hypothethical asks if i would starve to death rather then work for someone i dont agree with. I would because I know that when i finish that job at the end of the day I still have my beliefs. I like to think that i would put my beliefs and things aside for those who are depending on me i.e my spouse and kids. I of course would be looking for another job during this time

                                subcounciously they probably influence who I am.

                                I'm just not one of these liberals who is going to move to Canada (not that I could) because Bush is president. Life goes on.
