"Having sex with your best friend's wife is not illegal in Florida."[edit]
Actually it is; Florida is one of sixteen states with an adultery law, an act punishable by up to two months in jail and a $500 fine. As such, the "freedom of speech" argument against Peter Thiel must be reavaluated. Faunas (talk) 15:21, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- However, adultery laws would likely be found unconstitutional.[1][2] Bongolian (talk) 19:37, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- I don't now the legal opinion on this, but the fact is that everything from polyamory to swinging/cuckolding is quite different from the sneaky behind-the-back homewrecking that adultery implies. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 22:29, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
Support of Trump[edit]
I was hoping to read about his support of Trump – the good and the bad. Hopefully someone who has been following events more closely than me is able to contribute. --Chriswaterguy (talk) 02:37, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
Coverage of Peter's businesses[edit]
Hello,
I noticed that the vast majority of this article is dedicated to Peter's business failures aside from a small blurb about his investments in internet companies. It seems to my eyes that the exclusion of his successes in favour of his failures is a pretty crude attempt to discredit his personal beliefs by portraying him as a failure. Given that this is supposed to be a rational wiki, would anybody be interested in me doing a comprehensive re-evaluation of his career for the article? I would be willing to dedicate an afternoon or so to it but I don't want to if it is just going to be reverted by some partisan.— Unsigned, by: 69.196.163.89 / talk

Sexual orientation[edit]

It is also possible that he merely claims to be homosexual as part of his longterm fascist agenda. This may be the reason for example, why some journalists have been unduly nice to him in the past. Maybe the whole Gawker leak was actually intentional. I wouldn't underestimate that guy. PolyStan (talk) 20:29, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

"Arguments for Thiel" is pretentious[edit]
Sure, it's just about that one lawsuit, but I think we should just go delete that section in its entirety.
By the way, Thiel could totally use the same "arguments" if/when he sues RationalWiki or other neutral/skeptic media outlets. Obviously not worthy of such a forgiving angle. Kadashova (talk) 00:51, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
