She was trying to be as complete, accurate and truthful as possible. If that's the word he used, it's the word he used. If that's the book she was reading, that's the book she was reading. And regardless of reading material, no one deserves to be subjected to harassment.

She wasn't "discussing" it, she was reading it during her break time, on her own personal time, and they saw her reading it. There is no indication that she brought it up in any way.
Then why did a court feel the need to literally order them to increase diversity? Also, there are skyscrapers in Minnesota, FYI. I just because they *can afford* to do something doesn't mean that it necessarily is a good idea, or adds value in any way. Which is pretty much the point I just made in another comment in…
It is a possibility. If they had tons of applicants, it's possible that when the weren't considering diversity they had the luxury of extremely high physical standards, because with such a large applicant pool they could still find enough people who could pass the tests. If those standards are so high that they are…
Why would that be more likely? It seems like NYC is behind on attitude considering that it took a court order to get them to consider diversity an issue.
The low ratio of female firefighters here seems bizarre. In my father's department in Minnesota, they have about 5% women and has had for almost a decade now. This is a professional department, not volunteer. It seems strange that NYC would be so behind in this aspect. In our area firefighting is a job that is hugely…
0 is less than there are now....so yeah we are on the same side. I am really sorry how you can't see that your behavior is proving the Fox news crazies right. It is contributing to the culture of fear that makes gun owners afraid to let any legislation pass. If 100 million Americans own guns you aren't going to get…
There are only a small handful of countries in the world that have banned civilian gun ownership. That's a bit far from "every other country" dontcha think?
Pro-choice people still call it an abortion debate, because backwards people are still debating about it. Calling it a debate is not declaring that one side is…
Sounds like you have your mind made up and aren't really interested in rational conversation. You are unlikely to bring other around to your point of view with profanity and name calling. This is the problem with the gun control debate — polarization accomplishes nothing. I am a person, a gun owner, standing in front…
I never once said that. Please read my post again.
Some things I did say:
Whoa dude, why is it not possible to have a conversation without the crazy personal insults and profanity? My goodness.
You honestly think that the MAJORITY of people that own guns would shoot someone who rang their doorbell in the back of the head? The literally millions upon millions of gun owners? A quick google search suggests about 1/3 of Americans are gun owners so that would make what, somewhere over 100 million people that…
I know this is just a personal anecdote, but my family owns lots of guns. My father is a competitive target shooter and an avid hunter. Almost 100% of the meat we eat is hunted or farmed by us. We had someone ring our doorbell in the middle of the night. Our response was 100% not to go get a gun. It turned out that it…
I don't lock my door when I'm at home, and I don't even lock my back door when I leave the house. I live in a very rural area, so I'm pretty chill about it.
Too. Much. Photoshop. I can't even tell that's Natalie Portman.
Best "how we met" story ever. I can't wait to see your kids faces when you tell them that.
This is terrifying and awful and I'm going to go cry now.
