news that doesn't get reported.

I received a report to day from a museum I was connected with in Montreal, the Donald Stewart Museum. It is a museum in an old fort. It was founded almost entirely  by English-speaking Quebeckers, supported by them, and still depends heavily on the support of English-speaking Quebeckers.

Workplace Rooms named after offensive people

Picture a bunch of meeting rooms in a corporate space.

 

Rather than being named numerically, they are named in "themes".

One area names them after tropical islands, another after cities in Europe, a third names them after football coaches, a fourth on US presidents.

 

now, say you are gay / lesbian, and you happen to know that the one room is named after an extremely homophobic man.  This man was so offensive that CBS cancelled his contract .

Are We Too Intolerant?

As a society, are we too intolerant? Or do we tolerate too much? In some areas, tolerance is definitely lacking. But in others, there is far too much of it.

Agree / Disagree? 

Comments?

Yes, you in the back ...

Why would somebody carry a sign that says “GOD DOES NOT LOVE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.”

I was reading an article written by a Prop 8 protester who described some of the counter-protester's signs.    

 

One of the signs said "“GOD DOES NOT LOVE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.”  Why would somebody be holding a sign that said that?  Are they a Christian?
