I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

6 months to investigate this? How about 6 hours. They should sack the the folks seeking the discharge. He did not even say a racial slur. Holy crap, and people make fun of America being to sensitive. This has to be making people in Britain upset. Most Brits Ive met seem way more sensible than this.

It's monkeyfucking horseshit of the limburger variety. The people responsible for sacking him should be let go without compensation
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

that's pretty fucked up . . . .talk about taking political correctness too far. but no, he didn't just say osama bin laden, he said an insulting remark about osama bin laden.

The thing that puzzles me is why the three Muslims who overheard him would be offended. If you're a Muslim in the West, I would imagine that Osama bin Laden has done more to fuck up your life than he has most of your neighbors.

That makes no sense at all. I can't even see what part of the statement was insulting. If I'm missing something (really missing, not just the "he said bin Laden" crap) please fill me in.

This is truly bizarre. If the person in question were to criticise his government, or Tony Blair, no-one would give a shit. But then he insults his nation's enemy, and suddenly he get's fired?
And why? Because three muslims were present. Who cares. If these muslims were offended then that would be more telling, would it not?
This is bullshit. I hope the guy gets an unfair dismissal lawsuit shoved up his arse. Either that, or MI5 visits Mr. Andrew I-get-offended-easily-for-some-stupid-reason Rogers at 2am, and asks why he should be offended that Uncle Osama was slighted.

That's fucking brilliant. Not only were the visitors unaware of the guy's comment, they haven't even passed judegement on him. What's worse, Dumbfuck Rogers assumed the visitors would be offended.Some Dumbfuck wrote:"I am not sure whether Mr Rose saw the visitors," the prison's assistant governor, Andrew Rogers, told the hearing in the city of Norwich, eastern England.
He added: "I took offence at the comment. If the visitors had heard the comment, they might have taken offence too."

They don't have a written consitution like we do, as I understand. And European free speech isn't the real thing.StimNeuro wrote:Does Britain even say anything about free speech in their constitution?Hethrir wrote:wow, and where did free speech go to?Durran Korr wrote:...He committed a terrible crime.
