The views are radical, reprehensible, and in the extreme minority, but they're allowed to hold those views so long as they're not making direct threats or committing actual crimes. The point of free speech is to let people debate and discuss with each other, instead of completely stifling one group or another based on a disagreement with their opinions. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction.

Gobstoppers12 12/18/20 6:35:39 PM #96 | averagejoel posted... why did you have to ignore 3/4 of my original post and take the remaining 1/4 completely out of context to do so?Because your argument was wrong. Your error was that you tried to lend significance to your own reasoning. In truth, it doesn't matter if your reason for trying to suppress free speech is "I don't like them," or if it's "they believe in genocide." In both cases, you're arguing against the existence of free speech based on your personal disagreement with their political views. The distinction is irrelevant. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction.

Just...so many things, all happening at once, tying up the plot, making things move, giving us payoff...It's really extraordinary. Say what you want about plot goofiness, but to me, that's the gold standard for how you end a trilogy.

Gobstoppers12 12/18/20 1:53:13 PM #83 | averagejoel posted... you are legitimizing genocide as a political option.There's a huge, huge problem with your statement. Free speech does not automatically legitimize the subject being spoken about. Free speech is the guarantee that ideas and views can be held or exchanged without fear of the government punishing an individual who holds views them. This prevents the government from censoring opinions it dislikes. Right now, sure, it's about Nazism. But who defines Nazism? If we put a blanket ban on "all glorification of Nazis or their ideology," who makes the determination on borderline cases? Who defines exactly which words can't be used? Do you really trust the government to make those choices for us? Free speech is protection from oppression, even though some of you seem to think it enables oppression. Free speech allows us to be who we are, openly and honestly, and in turn makes it easier for us to pick and choose our friends and associates. Would you rather somebody speak up about their racist ideology so people know they're scum, or would it be better if they kept it hidden until it bubbled over into something more extreme than words? Apart from debating free speech as a concept, there's another problem here. Some people are far, far too susceptible to propaganda. Snappy headlines. Self-granted titles. The act of naming one's self, or one's proposal, in a certain way, does not actually ensure that the name or title is accurate. I see it all the time around here: "If you dislike antifa, then you must be a facist." This is patently untrue, in a variety of ways. Do you think North Korea, or the "DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea)" is actually democratic? Do you think it belongs to the people? Just because a proposal is titled in a way that makes it seem like its purpose is to combat Nazism, that doesn't mean that's what it's actually for. The devil is in the details. Don't vote just for the titles, or judge a story based on its headlines. What ever happened to the classic adage, "don't judge a book by its cover?" It doesn't just apply to good books with bad covers. It applies to bad ones with good covers, too. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. |

Gobstoppers12 12/17/20 7:26:18 PM #30 | Chunkey Simmons posted... You say "I'll call a manager over to help." And then you do that. Your job as an employee isn't to try to give customers 'what they deserve,' it's to treat them based on the store/company guidelines and prove that your service is better than your competitors. It might suck to hold your tongue when somebody's being an asshole, but you have to realize--they have no idea who you are. They're just lashing out. When you take it personally and lash back, you're sinking to their level. Don't sink to their level. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. |
Topic | I don't take shit from others, does this make me a good or bad employee? |
Gobstoppers12 12/17/20 7:13:11 PM #18 | You sound like you don't have a complete grasp of the employer-employee relationship. Or the employee-customer relationship. You've got to remember that even if your boss is treating you badly, the answer isn't to fly off the handle and start arguing or getting angry. The correct response is to complain to either HR, or corporate. Don't get into headbutting contests with your boss. Go over his head. That's how you get what you want. Otherwise you just make yourself an easy target and/or get yourself fired. As for the angry customer thing, you don't help matters by getting sassy. As a cashier/salesfloor worker, if a customer is getting ornery, it's your job to call a manager over. Keep your cool and remember that people are assholes when they're upset about something. Or maybe they're just assholes in general. Still, don't let some random asshole cost you your dignity and your job because you couldn't control yourself. Just shrug them off and remember they're random assholes, and they're not worth losing your job over. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. |
