Well in that case i suggest you just post for both sides of the argument.
Clearly not only are you insensitive to sexism you dont understand racism either.
Your thoughts on the FHITP debate?

Clearly not only are you insensitive to sexism you dont understand racism either.
Sadly, you could skull-fuck a dead kitten on live TV and somewhere some young lady is thinking "he's just misunderstood, I know I can fix him". Just ask Paul Bernardo. People are messed up.I think his future with women is going to even bleaker than his mouthy short-assed, hatchet-nosed presence has already caused him.
Truly an ugly person from every angle.
Ironically, he could come out on top of this with sincere, considered contrition and as a public service to other similarly minded fucktards... but his type (like every other one of those mouth-breathing weird haircutted goofs in the shot) would NEVER realize, least of all admit they and this FIRTP routine is anything but funny.
So, another 30 years beating off in his momma's basement in Little Portugal...
You're failing to read my posts properly, I said you'd more offended if I called your mom a piece of shit than if I pulled a FHRITP prank.Well in that case i suggest you just post for both sides of the argument.

I have no idea why you're bringing racism into the debate now
Because i thought thus spawned from the trudeau commentsYou're failing to read my posts properly, I said you'd more offended if I called your mom a piece of shit than if I pulled a FHRITP prank.

But now that you mention it..... implied sex with my mom is still worse than pos.
I've been reading this thread until now and I must say, I completely agree with you.the guy was out of line but I don't think this is something that is worthy of being fired. The whole lot are class A douchers but so what. its his time not hydros. people make mistakes all the time in thier personal lives and if there is not spillover into the workplace then the incident should stay out of the workplace. has the guy been charged with a criminal offense? I think the guy should get a good lawyer and push back.
The guy(s) were idiots, completely out of line, but it had nothing to do with his work performance. We humans are ambiguous at the best of times and I think the guy should get the benefit of the doubt on this one. If they fired people for being idiots, I'd be living in a box behind Walmart.
. He was also an engineer responsible for our power grid and a manager leading a team of men and women. The expectations are much higher than if he was a roofer responsible for putting the shingles on straight at Fred's roofing. He lived by the social media sword and died by the social media sword.
By the way, the guy, Simoes, is not an Engineer. I checked the PEO website and he is not a licensed engineer in Ontario. Lots of people call themselves Engineers, but they are not. (Sanitation Engineers, the guys who drive trains, work in the engine rooms of ships, etc.)
He's (or was I guess) a tech of some description at Hydro One
So if a guy tells racist jokes it is okay because their intent was to be funny?I would argue they are equally offensive.
Thing is the TFC guys werent even trying to be offensive, they were "trying" to be funny, which makes Trudeau's comments worse because his remark was intentionally offensive
Agree that we all do stupid things at times. Just hope that when we do something stupid it is not recorded and the video goes viral. Is bad luck.... If they fired people for being idiots, I'd be living in a box behind Walmart.
Simoes really opened a can of worms when he pulled his prank. Wonder if his family is also working at Hydro One.By the way, the guy, Simoes, is not an Engineer. I checked the PEO website and he is not a licensed engineer in Ontario.
Add to that the guy who got fired didnt even say FHRITP himself, he was just laughing along with the crowd.I've been reading this thread until now and I must say, I completely agree with you.

This whole world has gone insane I tell you.
Its modern day version of a witch hunt
It is posts like this which make communicating with you difficult.And I think you're full of shit, Francastle. If I called your mom a piece of shit you'd be mad as hell (and rightfully so).
In fact I think you'd be MORE offended if we pulled a FHRITP prank on your mom or your sis
It reads opposite to subsequent posts.
Bullshit!! You'd be at the very least equally offendedBecause i thought thus spawned from the trudeau comments
But now that you mention it..... implied sex with my mom is still worse than pos.
The guy who got fired should make a public apology it would take the heat off of him. People are quick to forgive. His next step should be about making himself hireable. Right or wrong......tough luck bud.
You're creating strawman arguments in your attempt to deflect away from what Trudeau said.So if a guy tells racist jokes it is okay because their intent was to be funny?
Let me ask, should JT be fired or not for his offensive remark??
You accused me wrongly of being the one to determine offense.Bullshit!! You'd be at the very least equally offended
Yet that is exactly what yiu are doing right now.
How do you know what is more offensive.
I never talk about sex with my mom so anything sexual is super awkward and offensive to me.
In looking at the video, the guys in question looked slightly toasted, they've just attended a soccer game, no doubt they're a little pumped up, they're younger and stupider and then someone says something really dumb and the female reporter won't let it go (fine, that's her right) and she starts to confront those all around her and the whole damn thing just escalates and gets blown right out of proportion. Then you have the mental midget Justin Trudeau getting his mouth in gear talking about "bullying" (give me a break, as a kid I remember having to hit guys with garbage can lids growing up in Hamilton because they were chasing me intent on beating the shit out of me, that was bullying) and the whole thing gets blown out of proportion.
No what he said was wrong but not as bad as something sexist or racist.You're creating strawman arguments in your attempt to deflect away from what Trudeau said.
Let me ask, should JT be fired or not for his offensive remark??
To me intent is irrelevant. My hope was that you would see that a racist joke is not okay if the intent is humour.
And I'm saying you're not the authority on whats offensive or not. We cant have double standards in life where you decide whats offensive, or whats less offensiveNo what he said was wrong but not as bad as something sexist or racist.

Exactly. Well said.In looking at the video, the guys in question looked slightly toasted, they've just attended a soccer game, no doubt they're a little pumped up, they're younger and stupider and then someone says something really dumb and the female reporter won't let it go (fine, that's her right) and she starts to confront those all around her and the whole damn thing just escalates and gets blown right out of proportion.

People are making a mountain out of a mole hill
I think public sector employees should be held to a higher standard (right now they are held to a much lower standard). On the other hand, being fired over one incident unrelated to his job performance does seem a bit harsh, maybe a suspension without pay and a one level demotion would be more appropriate. Also, is he a "repeat offender"? Does he have a history of bad behavior? Most important of all, does he support gay marriage?the guy was out of line but I don't think this is something that is worthy of being fired. The whole lot are class A douchers but so what. its his time not hydros. people make mistakes all the time in thier personal lives and if there is not spillover into the workplace then the incident should stay out of the workplace. has the guy been charged with a criminal offense? I think the guy should get a good lawyer and push back.
Let me be very clear. I am just saying what i find offensive. I think i am entitled to thst opinion.And I'm saying you're not the authority on whats offensive or not. We cant have double standards in life where you decide whats offensive, or whats less offensive
You are not qualified to tell me what i should find more offensive.
Look i am not a child. This is not about winning. If i felt that fthip was less offensivecthan calling my mom a pos i would say so.
But if you choose not to believe that than all i can say is please stop responding because it is tough tp have a discussion if you are just go I g to call me a liar.
