I think that a) it’s inappropriate to get involved with a job applicant and some disciplinary action should be taken, but b) that being said, depending on the nature of the ‘revealing white body suit’ it could be argued that she started the sexually suggestive conversation and that the ‘It would look better on your…

Well, from the excerpts printed above, her messages seem more explicit than his. In the UK, in this respect she is a functioning adult and has been for over a year. I don’t see the abuse. I see power differential in that she is a job applicant, which is why he is suspended, and I see the ew factor I see in any…

Da Vinci? I was talking Dicaprio....

This. J J Abrams is the cool new foster dad.

What’s interesting is that unhappiness is more or less unrelated to actual life circumstances. Rich people are just as happy/unhappy as poor people. This is of absolutely no comfort to poor people except that you can take a certain vindictive pleasure in knowing those spoiled kids are genuinely unhappy with their lot…

This. Don’t like it? Don’t buy it. I don’t see the issue.

I can practically hear the dueling Banjos...

Hey, people shit talk Hitler all the time, but he did the one thing we all wish we could, he killed Hitler.

Well, for an astronaut, bluntly speaking... no you don’t really need creativity. You need dedication, discpline, a physical aptitude, a high level of attention to detail and intelligence. You need to be able to follow orders from people who understand exactly how the hundred tons of explosives under your backside work…

Just thinking about this... do we remember artists after their civilizations have passed?

I’m not worried about me sexualising her. Are you honestly saying you wouldn’t worry about a 13 year old being topless in a public area? I would suggest you would be in quite a small minority

Now now, p24 could just say ‘Be charming, considerate and thoughtful’

The solution then isn’t to change the word, but the place the word comes from.

Thank you. I have a feeling I didn’t make any friends with my original post and I could have worded it better, but it frustrates me that people assumed I was saying “what about the menz!” But whatever, it’s 1.30am and I can’t argue/explain/discuss anymore.

With respect, you’ve missed the point. I’m not criticising the respondents, I’m criticising the coverage. There has been no critical thought put into what these changes mean and don’t mean.

Isn’t one of the words ‘diet’? Absolutely rule 1 of any form of healthy living is getting your diet under control. Is the word diet harmful? Does removing it benefit anyone?
