Thanks, Internet, for making it impossible for people to make any mistakes ever.

To be fair, Eich has never said he made a mistake.

I pretty strongly disagree with his views on Prop 8, HOWEVER, I wouldn't disqualify him on those grounds. I disagree with my own boss on a lot of things much closer to home, and yet I gladly work with and for him.

Occasionally, I guess I'm grownup.

Did he ever say it was a mistake, did he ever apologize for it? no. he continually defended his right to do it and believe what he believes. That's about as far from a mistake as you can get.

What's wrong to believe in something? Isn't a human right to have your own beliefs and opinions?

"Believing" in something and contributing money to that something are wildly different things.

Private funded "churches" are a common thing all over the world. Was there ever been a problem with this? No.

Not what I mean. Thinking ill of people and actually contributing resources to see those people oppressed are not even in the same universe morally.

Okay, substitute mistakes with "choices that might get frowned upon by the public at any point in time going forward".
