    Exactly. No harm done. Words have never and will never hurt anyone... Even when poorly spray painted on a sheet.

    In both of the career's I have/had, that kind of expression (of freedom of speech) will end both careers in less than 24 hours, just passin on some facts,;) feel free to pass along. Ie These guys ever want to fly jets in the military and you do something like this.............you won't in today's military for sure. I'm sayin if there are ANY ROTC guys in that frat, (I doubt there are) I can guarantee, there will be questions even if the guy does not live in the house or was not on campus for the game. At the airline I have worked for the last 26 years they would almost consider that sign "hate related", they have an ENTIRE department in HR that does nothing but scan social media for their employees beaming off like these turds. I guess if they are going back to work at KFC or the family business or whatever, it won't come up, but, it is not the 60's anymore.

    Don't you know 80% of LSU fans don't go to college at all. Hell I barely made it out of high school.



    For pulling against Bama?

    Completely agree, words only have power when people get their panties all wadded up and respond to dumb shit like this. This country has turned into a big gigantic conglomeration of pussies. The sheet wasn't even funny, had it been, I would have chuckled.

    At my current job, if the two pilots are in the cockpit telling some very bland joke that WE THINK is perfectly ok, we just shut the door, because some flight attendant that we may not even have met yet might hear some word that "offends" her. As a Professional Standards Representative of our pilot union I can not tell you the number of times I have had to make calls on chicken sheatt deals like this...........when I do the "investigation", the pilots involved are "lucky", since my objective is to keep things from escalating. If the "offended" party decides to go straight to HR, totally different ball park, with totally different rules and I don't get to "play" anymore. I realize many of you guys don't work for massive companies that employ 100K people and don't see as much of this kind of stuff, but it is out there and getting worse everyday..................not my choice for sure.

    Footnote...............1 week prior to the Asian crash I flew a late flight into San Francisco, I give 2 PA's, hello/goodbye, don't say alot but I did refer to San Francisco as San Fran TWICE, Dos, 2, Two, times. When I opened the cockpit door the flight attendant gave me a note from a 1st class pax who was ROYALLY pissed off that I did not say San Francisco, he chose not to wait till the door was open to deliver the note, that was a real good choice he made.;)

    I'm not givin PC lessons to anyone, but I will tell you what I have seen because I have seen guys get a month off in my job and for some guys that's well over 20K for a "fine".

    Did I miss something? What's wrong with saying San Fran? It's like calling Los Angeles LA.

    Beats the hell out of me. Perhaps he was worried that @TCUTiger flew him to San Frantonio instead of Francisco, hell who knows with this world, you are right, great big bag of sniveling, dripping vag's

    People really need to get a life and quit getting their panties in a wad over...nothing.

    Last spring, I inducted 103 7th graders into National Junior Honor Society in an assembly in front of the school. I had to call out all of the names, many of which were Indian, Chinese, etc. One American mom came up to me after the assembly. I thought she was introducing herself because some of the parents do that. Nope...she told me I had mispronounced her son's last name because I placed the emphasis on the second syllable and not the first.

    Screw that. Besides, I practiced with all the kids the week before and told them to come up to me if I mispronounced their names. I then wrote them phonetically. It was so stupid, that I just laughed. But I also thought she was a bitch.
