Uh oh. I’m getting worried...I remember that when I was in Kindergarten, I told one of my friends that girls are yucky. I had a very dramatic reversal of opinion on this subject about the time I turned 12 or 13, but too late, I already said what I said.

A) Resign and go quietly you can collect your pension and a nice bonus/inducement.

B) We make your life a living hell and fire you publicly.

Choose one.

.....And when little Tommy kissed little Sally on the playground when they were both five would be charged as a pedophile today when he’s sixty.....

OMG! I kissed a little girl named Carol on the playground back in 1944! IF they find out....I'm a goner....

PS: She was my cousin too.....

I wonder how radical leftists are going to square their current “cancel culture” with their current promise of a guaranteed job that is being promised as part of their Green New Deal.

Easy, same as any commie.

You will do the work you are assigned to do and like it.

Quit his job, or retired?

There is a difference, you know.

You think that guy’s comment was bad? Check out this disgusting, homophobic, anti-gay, prejudiced, intolerant, naughty comment:

“Marriage has historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage has always been, between a man and a woman.”

The person who said that must be publicly shamed, and then banned from our modern, accepting society! Oh, wait. Hillary Clinton said that in 2000. Never mind.

The guy just started at Boeing and was brought in by the new CEO who replaced the fired CEO. After bringing him in six months ago, the new CEO asked him to resign. Boeing has no one at the helm with a spine. The entire culture at Boeing has been infected with political correctness. Leadership is sorely needed.

Well yesterday Boeing did announce it will be laying off massive amount of workers. .... Wonder if that plays into it?

He probably wrote that before the individual who complained was even born.

> Why didn’t he just say “kiss my grits”, etc? <

That is the question of the day, and maybe even of the year. The targets of the fascist PC police always, always surrender. And that just emboldens those fascists to push for even more.

Here’s the way it should go:

PC fascist: I am offended by what you said. You must apologize, then resign.
Citizen: No.

PC fascist: I am going to complain to your supervisor.
Citizen’s supervisor (later): I’m not interested in your whining. Get out of my office.

“My article was a 29-year-old Cold War navy pilot’s misguided contribution to a
debate that was live at the time,” Golightly said in a statement included in Boeing’s
announcement.

“My argument was embarrassingly wrong and offensive. The article is not a reflection of who I am;
but nonetheless I have decided that in the interest of the company I will step down,” Golightly said.

Insane. First insane person: the one who complained. Second insane person: the guy who quit.

It’s over now. They can go back to halloween parties we went to when we were 16. And get us fired.

Obama and Sleezy Joe ought to be cancelled as they came out for traditional marriage in 2008.

That’s what the Left wants. We know the chaos that would result because the replacements ... they didn’t build that.

It’s a jealousy of success. It’s another way to steal and take credit. Until they fail, which they will.

I worked for an organization that was going “woke” essentially (it got taken over by liberals). Now, that organization is gone. I’m sure they can’t figure out what went wrong. My boss was an SJW - obviously a liberal.

The Cancel Culture is going to do just that.
