These people need to get out more

The annual complaining has started in Provo today. Victoria's Secret
put their Christmas display up and of course all the local parents are
having an outcry. They're complaining that they don't want their kids
to see the ads, and in some cases the parents are saying that the
sight of photos of women in underwear and swimwear makes them
'uncomfortable'. It's Victoria's Secret - how else are they supposed
to advertise? If these people don't want their kids to see the ads,
they don't have to walk past the store. I hate to think what the
Provo-ites would think if they ever left their little town, or heaven
forbid, their state or country. They'd be horrified with the real
world. And I have to wonder - if these parents are 'uncomfortable' at
the sight of underwear - what are they wearing under their own
clothes? Are they going commando, or wearing cut up potato sacks or
something?

You are closer with the potato sacks .... but I believe they are called "garments". Much less tempting than thongs. It's a wonder they have so many children?

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r...

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On...
