Visit your human resources/personnel department sometime. Ask them to show you your own file. I figure that they have a data field or box in their employee history called "SEX". It will have the values M/Male or F/Female in it. There is probably SEX in every employee record.

Just wondering.

Nice spin on two definitions of the same word, Retsof!! But I doubt if Tim will ever get that audience with his HR department. The decision will already be made.

Let me propose the argument this way. Suppose I owned a local coffee shop ... not the only coffee shop ... and I HATED “red shoes”. Would I post a sign, “No one served wearing red shoes”? Probably not as:

1. I would lose the customers wearing red shoes and customers are what I want.
2. Some other customers, who could care less about “red shoes”, would not enter because of the pickets waving banners protesting my aversion to “red shoes”.
3. Someone would sue me under some CA law prohibiting discrimination against “red shoes”.

It would just be a bad business decision despite my thoughts on “red shoes”. I think this is similar. It just drives away some percentage of the populace because of their feelings about “red shoes” and I think customers (i.e. Results) are what WCG wants.

For the record ... I have nothing against kids or “red shoes ... but I will probably get hate mail from both kids and “red shoes” lovers <hahaha>

Cheers to all ... seems I had “four cents worth” today. I think it is very good that we discuss these issues here.

For me, I just don't want to have to defend the screen saver on the office machines I put it on every time someone walks buy and catches one of the statistics or sees the political writings. I don't doubt that most folks would understand after explaining it to them, but it's something that I'm not itching to do on a daily basis.

Because I run screensaver on computers in the public eye, I'd really prefer it to stay neutral and non-political.

Have them check their dictionary (foreign language equivalent, if needed)


They'd better get out the scissors to clip out those bad words.





Have you got any anonymous texts? They are taking over, since there are more anonymous members than members in ALL OTHER COUNTRIES COMBINED.

What question were these kids asked to get responses like the ones I posted below? The reason I crunch is the hope that my small sacrifice can benefit the world as a whole through medical technology, not because of hate, gun control, war, or any of the other things mentioned in the posts. Hate did not give people the Dengue virus but love and unity can help stop it. All in all, I don't see how any of the quotes reinforce the goal of the project and I'm really disgusted that wcgrid would stoop to this level.

The easiest way to end hate is to have everyone be open-minded and accept people for who they are, no matter what race, religion, or sexual orientation.

Gun Control

Gun control is an issue in the world that is very important. A lot of people have come face to face with a gun before, and not all of them walked away alive. My concern is about kids, guns, and school shootings. The reason kids die in school shootings is because our government allows guns to get too close to kids.

Kids are getting bullied by popular kids, and they end up taking it out on everyone. Me, I am in a school where I see kids getting laughed at and see kids I want to help, but we all know that helping can affect our reputation. Also, the security level in schools is not as tight as it needs to be. Kids can just walk in and shoot at other students. Not many people seem to care enough to make a change. Care, change the laws, keep us safe.

A man should not be hated for his sexual preferences. Instead rewarded for the intelligence of his mind and nobility of his heart.
