1) If it wasn’t intended to offend you, then you shouldn’t be offended.

3) Being offended is a choice you make. Nobody is responsible for that choice but you.

4) Even if the slight was intended and deliberate, functioning adults understand that they must move on and not dwell over every sideways glance or rude comment.

5) You have to stop doing the trendy internet thing where you write something on a piece of paper and take a picture of yourself holding it up while frowning. It’s just annoying at this point.;

CD, I'm just wondering: have any criticisms of these "maxims" occurred to you, yet?

It's just that, since you copied them out in bold, presumably for our enlightenment here at CM, I'm assuming that you believe them to be perfect - or at least, in their major impact, in their fundamental truthfulness. Is that really the case, for you?

Actually, Peon...I thought most grown up, intelligent people would be able to figure out what each of them meant and how to apply them. If you're having difficulty with that, you might try going back to the original source I cited them from.

I also thought most intelligent people would be able to detect some of the humor that can go along with these as in Kirata's comment. If you're having trouble with that, I don't know what to tell you.

Staying on the food theme:

Allow your staff to not do something that offends them and instead anger your customers OR move your staff to another area where they'll not have to worry about doing something that offends them and your customers won't be angered or inconvenienced?

Seems simple, right? Most employers would pick the second choice, right? Not these folks...

It's almost endearing, really, that you believe that the only possible reason why somebody wouldn't agree with these 'Rules' is because he or she hasn't understood them.

They're bollocks, CD. That's why I didn't agree with them. I hope that helps.

ETA: No offence meant.

Why are you trying to use a non event from 18 months ago as current policy ? Prick.

quote:

Students at both Oberlin College in Ohio and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., have been crying out that they fear for their safety because conservative groups invited someone who disagrees with their views on sexual assault and rape culture to speak on campus...

A photo on Twitter shows a student holding another sign reading, “TRIGGER WARNING: anti-feminism” and advertising the location of a “safe space” for anyone who might feel traumatized by Sommers’s opposing views.

...the Oberlin students who wrote a piece for the school newspaper protesting the invitation preceded it with a trigger warning — apparently, they consider Sommers to be so dangerous that even talking about her talking could traumatize someone."

I read her who stole feminism, loved it, and I also have her war against boys: how misguided feminism is harming our young men .


am surprised there are any conservative students at Oberlin!

A zip line bar across the ceiling attached to a short lead, just lock it into place in the room you want her in, the runners have bearings so pulling them to another room is a lot easier on the back.

If that's what you think I was doing, then I sure you'll understand this response to your post.

Ignorant ass.

I know what you were doing, I just felt it right and proper to point it out. Like I said, it was a non-event from two years ago.
[/[/quoteAnd yet...you've yet to point it out.

CD seems happy to use old newspaper reports which were done and dusted two years back, that doesnt make it company policy, not one iota of it.

Would that be you and the Penguin?

I know how old those reports were PS. Again, of you can't figure out why I used them, then I'd say you've entered the right town for you.

I'm done.
