It all comes down to the HR guy making the sec take it down because someone MIGHT be offended.
That, in and of it's self, is enough to start the march to the grave for our society. If no one can do anything that MIGHT offend someone, then everyone better do absolutely nothing, ever, because everything anyone does will offend someone, somewhere.
You know what, with all due respect, that's a total load of crap. Unless someone was actually charged, prosecuted, or penalized in some way for
not doing this, then there's no evidence whatsoever that anyone is being oppressed. Sometimes people go overboard trying to please other people; this in itself is not a sign of the fucking apocalypse.
Seriously, I can't believe the alarmism I see every damned time somebody is a bit oversensitive or overcautious somewhere in America. All of a sudden, even though it's just some guy trying too hard to appease the public, it gets spun into an assault on our freedoms. Give me a fucking break.
Once more:
unless he was forced to do that, then it is
not an example of oppression. Holy fuck, one guy tries too hard to please, and all of a sudden the sky is falling.
And, on top of that, if it's enough that something might be offensive to get it stopped, did the HR guy wonder if taking it down might offend the sec who put it up?
Where do these people get the idea that no one is allowed to offend someone else? There's no law, local, state, or federal (here in the US) that I am aware of, that grants people freedome from any risk of being offended.
I swear, this PC crap has got to stop. And the only way to do that is for enough of us to get pissed off enough to stop putting up with it. Be polite, but be anti-pc.
See above.
