DO NOT get me started on “these” people............I worked for a company years ago and the company always had a Christmas tree in the lobby with an angel on top,,,,as was the norm, the tree went up with the angel, and lo and behold after about a day or so, the angel was gone....one person, one, count ‘em one person complained so the angel was removed because the company was afraid of being sued, the thing is there were a couple of entrances to this building, if said person was offended there were other entrances where this person could get in and out of the building without seeing the tree or the angel but rather than be inconvenienced by having to walk a couple of feet to use the other door he/she and we think it was a she because that year there were a couple of females that were hired, anyway rather than walk a few feet she made everyone else suffer.
[[one person, one, count ‘em one person complained so the angel was removed because the company was afraid of being sued,]]
Sued for what? Because someone’s delicate feelings were ‘hurt’? Our laws don’t protect people’s ‘feelings’ but rather protect people’s constitutional rights. IF people could be sued for hurt feelings, or feelings of disgust, orwhatever- then there would be no porn shops, no drug shps, no adult entertainment shops etc etc etc- I find it funny that peopel can complain about an angel, and get hte angel removed, but people who have to walk their kids past porn shops haven’t got any say about it?
What next? Shut down all bars because it offends someone? The constitution states that public offices can not FORCE or COERCE anyone to beleive something- hangign a sign or putting up an angel is forcing NOONE to convert or change their beliefs- I’m tellin yas- this coutnry has becoem intensely sissified- whining to the courts because they think the courts have a responsibility to protect their precious little feelings.
That firehouse shoudl have told the authorities to go pound sand- and come back when they have proof that a sign forces ANYONE to convert, or if it EVER manages to ‘establish a religion that everyone is forced, by mandate of law, to covnert to’
