Tech Crunch ready for SC to leave over craigslist battle
Whoa. Tech Crunch, one of the top tech blogs, says South Carolina isn’t nearly as important as the website craigslist, when it comes to making life better and having a positive impact.
What do you say South Carolina?
This is more fallout from the SC Attorney General’s battle to get craigslist to take prostitution ads off its popular internet based, classified ad website.
In a blog titled, “What’s More Important - craigslist or South Carolina?” Michael Arrington brings up South Carolina’s history with slavery, and our move as the first state to secede from the U.S. He suggests, “If they’re still up for it, I say let them leave. Craigslist is way more important than they are.”
Here’s the description of the state, in one of Arrington’s paragraphs:
“South Carolina a former slave state that has less than 4.5 million people and a median income of under $40,000/year, 39th in the U.S. 92% of the state’s residents are Christian, and the gross state product is around $150 billion. A main driver of economic activity is tobacco, and the Klu Klux Klan has a vibrant and active chapter in the state. On the upside, I hear Myrtle beach is nice, and my co-editor Erick Schonfeld’s mother lives there.”
He has a poll up and when I checked, South Carolina was losing BIG TIME. You can vote by following the link below.
So is it fair that Arrington is targeting the state, instead of the leader who is backing the approach. Do you think McMaster is right or wrong on his stand against prostitution ads. Do you think Arrington is out of line? Sound off in my comments section. You can use your Facebook login here with Facebook connect!
