Perhaps they just do not want stupid employees.

Is hanging a noose considered some type of IQ test? Is this sanctioned by the APA?

Hmmm....so according to liberals if I had this movie in my Netflix queue, would it be considered a hate crime?

Maybe. Having senior management loaded with them is enough.

According to liberals, if you speak your mind and it doesn't match the 'accepted' opinion, it's a hate crime. The best way to deal with this is in an offensive manner. Conservatives have caved to the liberals way too often on nonsensical issues like this.

I'll be hanging a noose in my garage tomorrow...

I'll join you ... still a rebelious child at heart I am. I've been wanting to hang one just on principle.

First, unless the company makes nooses they should not be making or hanging nooses on company property.

Second, the company has the right to fire you for wearing an ugly tie.

Third, if it offends a customer or other employees they should be fired.

"It's taken us back to the days of the 1950s and 1960s. We have to be more cognizant of diversity. Education is the key."

Some of this is probably just a backlash from having DIVERSITY OF ALL KINDS AND MULTI-CULTURAL POLITICAL CORRECTNESS CRAMMED DOWN YOUR THROAT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT for so many years.

Oh, sorry. Was that a hate crime?

“Wht would I do? I’d find out what the reason was behind it before I did anything.”

If you can. Do you think this is just some good old cowboys publicizing the rodeo?

Why? Are nooses illegal?

Are you trying to tell me that they symbolize something other than cowboys roping calves?

If so, does that mean farmers growing cotton should be thrown in jail as well?

What about water mellons?

Heaven forbid if I put my pet monkey on the porch for some fresh air!

If you feel so strongly about the issue, you should not confine your noose hanging to a dark corner of your closed garage.

Perhaps you should hang a noose in a tree in your front yard or in the break room where you work.

Don't be one of those "Closeted Noose Hangers."

Well, they could symbolize roping thighs or waists. :-)

They could be. They could also be sending a message to the pedophile the company hired. Or putting up a halloween decoration. A snare for the moonbats flying around...

Nooses are not illegal and neither are chocolate chip cookies.

Thus I would have no problem if someone were fired for baking chocolate chip cookies at a workplace when they were not authorized to do so.

As far as I can tell, nooses are not used to rope calves.

What about water mellons? {sic}

I have no problem with watermelons.

Who says it's dark, and who says that the garage is closed?

Perhaps you should hang a noose in a tree in your front yard or in the break room where you work.

The trees in my front yard are too small. A noose just doesn't look too threatening when it's hung from a 1" diameter branch. Besides, with the garage method, I can open it when I want so as to offend the most liberal folks that might pass by.

Oh, and we don't have a break room at work.

Did you ever read about WHY those students hun nooses in that tree out front of their school? I'll bet you didn't.

It had nothing to do with "racism". Nor were blacks not allowed to sit under that tree as Sharpton the race baiter, and the American hating lefist media claimed.

Nooses have many meanings, but some people seem to think it only has one. I heard Woopieoldberg make a racist comment on "the View" today. She said "all white people look the same to her". Why isn't she being fired? Where's the media outrage? But a noose? Oh my, it's the end of the world...

Don’t fret about Trumandogz. He’s an assclown member of the FR PC police. Don’t even know why he’s on FR instead of (Or is it in addion to DU).

Come out of the Noose Hanging Closet!

There must be someplace that you can hang a noose where everyone can see.

At your church or synagogue or perhaps even at a church on the other side of town!

Tie a noose to the rear bumper of your car and drive around a minority neighborhood.
