- they're a little busy, I wouldn't mind a Halo tee, but I'd want it a little more subdued. I'd also want to get it from Downtown Comics -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 09:11 2
  - cause with my shipping you get in 2-3 days. -- nm - Remlik Sep 22, 09:15 1

I find it ironic that the Republicans who oppose net neutrality do it on the grounds of protecting innovation. - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 22, 08:55 2
- Seriously the only reason the Republicans are opposing Net Neutrality - amoxy Sep 22, 08:58 1
  - Indeed. The ultimate example of obstructionism. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 22, 08:59
I'm just confused how displaying military medals would be offensive to someone. - musubi Sep 22, 08:54 39
- I'm not even convinced he noticed the medals, or knows what they stand for if he did. - znufrii Sep 22, 09:16
- It drives me insane. That the world we live in now, is a world where we are actually debating if the douche who left the note is wrong or right -- nm - Jovian Sep 22, 08:59 18
  - You should see a shrink. There's like 99% agreement that the guy was wrong. - musubi Sep 22, 09:01
  - I think the right question becomes for me: If someone hung an upside-down cross in their office, what would my reaction be? - oblique Sep 22, 09:01 15
    - In either case, it's freedom of speech. And, isn't the person entitled to their opinion? -- nm - con_carne Sep 22, 09:06 4
      - They pretty much give up their opinion when they lack the guts to speak it directly in my mind. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 22, 09:08 3
        
        In many office environments, confrontation is systematically discouraged -- nm - con_carne Sep 22, 09:11 2
        
        Considering a note was left, I'd say the confrontation still happened. just a more cowardly method. - Will Hunting Sep 22, 09:13 1
        
        On second thought, I guess I can see your point I just haven't seen that many comparable situations, I guess. -- nm - con_carne Sep 22, 09:16
    - Color me ignorant, but what does an upside down cross symbolize? (nm) - musubi Sep 22, 09:03 2
      - Could it be...? -- nm - Church Lady Sep 22, 09:06
      - it's often associated with satan worship -- nm - decline Sep 22, 09:04
    - We arent talking about f**king upside down f**king crosses. We are talking about military medals earned in the US Armed Forces being displayed - Jovian Sep 22, 09:03 5
      - Joviate! Joviate! Joviate at lunch! -- nm - Diva Sep 22, 09:15
      - Slow down -- nm - amoxy Sep 22, 09:05
      - YOU MUST CHILL! (nm) - musubi Sep 22, 09:04 2
        
        I am sorry. I havent been able to move my head in four days. I am very, shall we say, tense? - Jovian Sep 22, 09:05 1
        
        Maybe you should relax more? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 22, 09:08
    - bury their desk in DaVinci Code books. It's doubly-offensive to them. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 09:02
  - Well, under freedom of speech laws, he's pretty much in the clear legally. Morally, though, it's pretty rude. - Beryllium Sep 22, 09:00
- kilbo's next step: put up military themed posters in his office in solidarity. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 22, 08:58 4
  - or, kilbo should change everyone's computer background to a military themed pic -- nm - decline Sep 22, 09:00
  - This is officer thinking -- nm - oblique Sep 22, 08:59 2
    - Cow orker would find this post offensive. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 22, 09:01
    - Former Navy SEAL is going to *smack* you if you use that joke in earshot. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 09:00
- Agreed on all counts. The soldier served his country, he's allowed to be proud of his accomplishments, as is someone who graduated from a university - Beryllium Sep 22, 08:55 7
  - Kinda has nothing to do with the work place, though. -- nm - 2-0 Sep 22, 08:59 3
    - neither do pictures of my kids. people in the workplace still ought to be people, and this person has a Purple Heart. - TFox Sep 22, 09:00 2
      - I visualize his entire office being military themed. That is too much. - 2-0 Sep 22, 09:07
      - Are you "Space" or "Green Bay Packers"? We all know Spawn is a "Cats" person. (nm) - musubi Sep 22, 09:02
  - "I find your degree from Notre Dame to be offensive, please take it down." - musubi Sep 22, 08:57 1
    - exactly. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 08:58
  - hmm ... that IM might reflect negatively on the subject, but that wasn't intentional. Just a jab at college sports :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 08:56
- They might find it to be "Pro War". -- nm - lileve Sep 22, 08:54 2
  - *ding* - 2-0 Sep 22, 08:58
  - That was my thought -- nm - amoxy Sep 22, 08:55
- Some jackhole who is against the war is using this as his way to protest. nm - Jim Sep 22, 08:54 2
  - "I find your idiocy to be offensive, we're even." - musubi Sep 22, 08:56 1
    - perfect. -- nm - Remlik Sep 22, 08:57
time for a walk -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 08:50
Reggie Shaw killed two people because he was texting as he drove. How did he police find out? He texted as he was being taken to the hospital. -- (link) - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 22, 08:47 1
- "I didn't know the dangers." So there are driving instructors in this county who don't tell students that it's important to watch the road. Huh. -- nm - mara Sep 22, 08:50
Metacritic score for ODST ... looks promising, although a smidge overpriced. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 22, 08:47 8
- got mine, may not get to it till Thursday. -- nm - Remlik Sep 22, 08:58
- Picking mine up at lunch. -- nm - Shaun Sep 22, 08:50
- evidently Amazon gave up on their plans to make me wait til Friday, delivery has now been promised for tomorrow -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 08:48

  - I am probably going to try at lunch. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 22, 08:52
  - I'll be getting it in Oct - calendar is a bit full right now. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 08:52 2
    - you have my permission to play ODST on your honeymoon -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 08:53 1
      - That should be a given. Cause he's gonna need 'recharge' time...and what better way to do that than with some fighting and guns? -- nm - Remlik Sep 22, 08:55
I can see both sides of the issue, but the guy who left the note should have had the balls to talk to the guy face to face. -- nm - Remlik Sep 22, 08:47 9
- I dont, the guy who left the note should have his f**king ass beat. -- nm - Jovian Sep 22, 08:55 1
  - Yes, because that's the best way to fight an ridiculous stereotype. (nm) - musubi Sep 22, 08:59
- I'm really not sure I can see both sides here. It's not propaganda. It's stuff he likes. He's a veteran. - TFox Sep 22, 08:52
- Nah, in an office environment it's very can-of-worms to make a habit of being confrontational like that. - con_carne Sep 22, 08:52
- could it have been a woman? -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 08:48 4
  - sure. Ok...the person should have talked to military person face to face. -- nm - Remlik Sep 22, 08:48 3
    - ... and the person may have been overwhelmingly intimidated by the military person, based on media depictions of soldiers as hotheads -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 08:53
    - I'm just saying :) my first thought was that it was a guy too -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 08:49 1
      - I gotcha! I didn't think about that either. -- nm - Remlik Sep 22, 08:49
I'm disappointed that my nominee for the top 10 (Farley Mowat) placed 88th - crash davis Sep 22, 08:46 1

I'm going to tentatively set the O/U on "age of choade offended by the Purple Heart medal" at 31, and then guess the under. -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 08:45 5
- They're effin with a guy displaying his Purple Heart medal? - Will Hunting Sep 22, 08:49
- I told him to keep his stuff up and give the note to HR. My only concern - oblique Sep 22, 08:47 3
  - Is he an easy going guy or intense? -- nm - amoxy Sep 22, 08:55
  - was the tone of the note, like, menacing, or just "i'm spoiled enough to think that writing this is ok, as though i'm entitled to be offended by this? -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 08:49
  - anything happens call the cops for destruction of property -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 08:48
