They lived in the closet for years, why not just crawl back in.

H&R Block has every right to do what ever they want.

To many times Unions and the Fed's have stepped in where they don't belong.

The shareholders also have rights. If the stock tumbles, blame the bigots.

Although the Accounting equation does state Assets = Liabilities + O/E, it also asks CEO’s to make sure the books are kept well. This means a pure clean Balance Sheet! Perhaps a looksy could be taken into that Balance Sheet and we can all work from there?

Shareholders have the right to know about the Balance Sheet as well as any public information the company is putting out.

If said anti-gay information is true, and I have not confirmed that it is, but if it is true, how many GLBT will be selling their shares and then taking up short positions? Just a Question and NOT a suggestion. I am allowed to ask questions.

Because life outside of the closet is just way too much fun. Maybe you can have a dream about living in a world with no gays tonight. Fortunately, when you wake up the next morning gays and lesbians will still be everywhere.

That's okay, we feel the same way about ignorant, intolerant and hateful fools such as yourself. Feel free to crawl back into your own personal closet anytime you want. Bigotry is an unfortunate lifestyle choice that should not be flaunted in public, it's offensive to people of reason everywhere.

H&R Block is a private business providing a non-monopoly service.

If you don't want to pay $155 to visit them in person, here's a clue:

Don't.

Take your business elsewhere. I know that's a radical concept in this nanny state society where liberals and their useful idiots run to various government agencies like they're running to their mommy to tattle that your little brother isn't sharing his toys.

Grow up for goodness sake and act like an adult. If you don't like the product someone is selling, don't buy it.

H R BLOCK INC(NYSE: HRB)Last Trade:$22.04

If that is the same company then it is not a private one.

Companies traded on the NYSE are not private.

Little Debbie in Chattanooga area TN is a private company.

Liberals are tired of Neocons trying to turn the States into Nazi Germany. 99% of Americans are tired of your nonsense, and that is why all Republicans, and moderate Democrats will be voted out of office in November.

If you think NYC liberals are liberal, you haven't seen anything yet because we San Fran types are on the way to coming to power! We are louder than the NYC liberals. We have a prettier Bridge as well! LOL It is golden.

H&R Block has the right to implement business practices as they see fit. Not every state has civil unions, so they would have to implement a major changes to their software to allow separate filings for federal but joint for state. If H&R Block took the time to develop this feature, I believe they should be allowed to charge more for it. Furthermore, the company does not have enough time to implement it for this tax season. If they rushed to make a solution for FY 07, a lot of people could exploit it through fraudulent purposes
H&R Block ALREADY varies its practices for EVERY SINGLE STATE AND some territories. Adding this new legislation to their current software is a no-brainer and simply an excuse not to accomodate changing tax laws in Connecticut. Believe me, they'd be able to change their software if CT changed non-homosexual tax implications and it affected their software.

This bad publicity is simply not worth the bother for H&R Block - they're idiots if they don't comply.

Don't worry, gay & lesbians, H&R Block will probably come forward and wipe all your a-ses and fix this for next year's 2008 tax returns. Cry babies! Be men for God's sake.
