Don't be so sureDon't be so surePosted May 8, 2009 18:08 UTC (Fri) by khim (subscriber, #9252)In reply to: Debian switching to EGLIBC by PaulWay Parent article: Debian switching to EGLIBC
Yeah, right. Try being sexist, defamatory or racist in the workplace and see how your contract covers you. If you are working for US Company - it'll be written in contract. In other countries it's free right (some European countries are emulation US but to smaller degree). You can be fired if you disrupt the team, but just for being sexist or racist? Puhlease. When our company was bought by US one we had special sessions to explain exactly what natural things (like sexist jokes or jokes about other minorities) we shouldn't do from now on. Everyone agreed that it's idiotic, but hey - these guys are paying me, they establish rules. Try being sexist, defamatory or racist on a public internet forum and see how the forum's or your ISP's conditions of use work. Probably you are visiting totally different forms from me - because I'm seeing sexist, defamatory and racist remarks quite often. And not just from trolls. Again: if we are not talking about US where (as Heinlein noted half-sentury ago) everyone is so proud to point out that they have absolutely nothing against your skin color, face or sexual orientation... Try getting up in a public place and being sexist, defamatory or racist and see how you go with the police. For being sexist? This is a joke. For being defamatory or racist... possibility is there but you need to spend A LOT OF effort to reach this point.
