"long time leader on diversity issues."

Translation: Member in good standing of the New Butt Order®

[2banana]

A spokesperson said the company is a "long time leader on diversity issues."

Unless, of course, you are white and/or Christian...

[Goatroper]

All this makes me want to puke. I am not saying anymore, because I will say too much.

[joesnuffy]

[liberty or death]

Interesting that a life insurance company supports a lifestyle that shortens the lives of those who participate in it. My bet is they would charge you more for insurace if you participated in skydiving, bungie jumping or other simularly dangerous activities. But then, I suppose, those are "choices."

Anyone seen an update on the guy who was fired from Kodak a few months ago because he sent an e-mail telling the HR dept not to send him emails about diversity?

Shame on John Hancock.

Note to all. Please forgive me, I'm new. I've been looking for a FAQ site. Can you help me? I wanted to post an article about Sen. Murray (D) WA and looked to see how to post articles and I can't figure that out either. The very first instruction is to click on the post icon at the top of any article. Dang, if I can find it. I'd like to admit to just being dumb, but there is no such thing as a dumb conservative.

Screw corporate 'culture'.

If you work in an office environment these days you are forced to conform to the most ridiculous standards especially if you're a male.

Sterile PC environment where the coffee is weak, the music sucks and if you look at a woman wrong you can get nailed for 'sexual harassment'. Groupthink on everything from how you dress, wear your hair, what you drive, where you socialize, and on and on. Thank God I got out of that environment.

The US seems currently to be pretty evenly split on this sort of moral issue. At best, I see this policy being very popular with 2% of the population, mildly popular with 48% of the population, and quite unpopular with 50% of the population. I actually think the numbers would be more extreme (in the opposed direction).

I know casinos get by with tiny percentages in their favor, but I would think a large insurance company would go for better percentages than this. 'Course, I'm not much of a businessman, so what do I know?

Try the "Post Article" at the top and bottom of the page.

WWJHS?

How would John Hancock respond to this?

How would John Hancock feel about a company (which already wantonly appropriates a portion of its legitimacy and credibility by using his name without his permission) adding insult to injury by associating it with 'Butt Surfing'?

Damn Homo bastards...

If they're not going after your kids they're misusing your name, even after you’ve been dead a couple of hundred years no less.

What are we to do about this?

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

But why risk alienating 50% of the population? This is clearly an activist thing. Damned if I'll buy insurance from The 'Cock, and I quit buying film from Kodak.

Screw corporate 'culture'

yap. Jobs are shipped overseas, productive employees cut off at the knees, yet there's always payroll to lavish large salaries and offices on HR and diversity "coordinators", "trainers", "action officers". These are BS people with a liberal arts BS that otherwise would be asking if you "wanna suerpersize that?"

[LarryM]

Maybe they should change their name to John Hand-Cock!

Thanks. I was looking for an icon per the instructions. Duh! on me.

Will Sen. John Kerry be asked to comment? I love to see them squirm.

Some people do seem like there are "born" to do those dangerous things (skydiving, bungee jumping,etc)! Now, to find those genes lol
