Reply #104: I believe that there are particular institutions in this country...

[LanternWaste]

"Are Americans really that thin-skinned?"

I believe that there are particular institutions in a country which should be held to a higher standard-- government, the media, educations to name but a few.

Reducing the standard of these institutions would not only allow for, but actually condone the Lowest Common Denominator being in both a position of authority and a position to affect our everyday worlds.

That aside, it's in bad form for any employee to make that type of remark-- regardless of who it is directed against. Should that happen in my own place of employment and a co-worker's daughter was called a pimp by another co-worker, I simply would not tolerate it and do my best to make sure it did not happen again.
