I've tossed resumes for having typos in the cover letter because I have dozens of applications from talented candidates on my desk.JuanHamm wrote:Taking away a kids scholarship because he sang along to a naughty word is obviously a pretty crazy response. It's a stupid thing to do, but in a vacuum it doesn't make him a racist (just kind of an idiot for posting it)
Is this any different? The school could give a gift of $120,000 in tuition money and a shit ton of privilege to many highly qualified recruits. A small mistake might be all it takes for them to go to the next kid.
It's a sad story, but sometimes the consequences of small mistakes are getting a scholarship from Penn State instead of Florida. I hope he can scrape his life back together.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It's really no surprise that the marvel/star wars movie brigade on RM has the most idiotic and uniform opinions on politics. Absolute manchildren.
the school is allowed to pull the scholarship for pretty much anything that may be deemed negative to the school. Speech isnt free from repercussions no matter how much grandstanding you take or label it as a horrible way to live. in this case that isnt for you to decide but for the school.

I won't dwell on it, just seems like restricting the words a person can speak based on their skin color is not a road we should go down again.

Re: Adventures in Babysitting: The Catch-All Anti-SJW Thread
I guess I will dwell on it for a bit because here I am to point out that I'm not restricting anyone from saying anything. But I'm also not surprised that would be the take away from some here.

Re: Adventures in Babysitting: The Catch-All Anti-SJW Thread
I guess we've made the "white people shouldn't say the n-word" argument, but for all we know, Florida is against any of it's football players using racial slurs regardless of race. It would probably be a reasonable policy.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Your argument is simply terrible.
It's absolutely my prerogative to JUDGE how these administrators act.
You can't hide behind it being someone else's decision. All you're doing is disguising your real opinion.

Is that even close?Bi_3 wrote:Similar, but not identical lines:
"Groomer" isn't a forbidden word. There are certainly abusers who groom children and parents for abuse.
If you use "groomer" because someone is gay or supportive of gay rights, you're equating being gay with child abuse, which makes you a bigot, and fuck you.
