Sarge,

This is not only a shame it is ridiculious. I think it is just another chance for someone to get their name in the paper, or for some group to justify them being around. Oh well, I guess he has gotten his 15 minutes of fame. lol Thanks for the post.

Let's run a CONTEST!!!
Of names that will suitable.
Senior-Junior
Adult-Child
Sergeant-Private
General-2nd Lt.
President-Senator
Teacher-Student
Manager-Player
And the list of STUPIDITY gets bigger.
The terms that are OFFENSIVE have nothing to do with "slavery".
The computer can deal with one hard drive.
That hard drive is senior and the other hard drive is junior.
Someone years back chose those terms.
They have stood the test of time.
Now someone with too much time on their hands, decides that those terms are offensive to some.
Well what do you expect from LA,LA Land.
STUPIDITY to the MAX.

I think something was overlooked in the comments here. And that is the tap-dancing after objections were voiced about the PC memo.

What you think you heard me say is not what I meant to say unless you agree with what you think you heard me say.
========================

"Based on the cultural diversity and sensitivity of Los Angeles County, this is not an acceptable identification label," Joe Sandoval, division manager of purchasing and contract services, said in a memo sent to County vendors.

"We would request that each manufacturer, supplier and contractor review, identify and remove/change any identification or labeling of equipment components that could be interpreted as discriminatory or offensive in nature," Sandoval said in the memo,


Faced with an avalanche of complaints from vendors and the general public, Sandoval told Reuters in an interview that his memo was intended as "nothing more than a request" and not an ultimatum or policy change.
===================
And a First Sergeant saying "Anyone desiring to pick up their liberty cards better be clean shaven, and appropriately dressed" is expressing "nothing more than a request".

Oh?

I love that comparison! And reminds me when a gal says to a guy, "you don't have to if you don't want to." :D

I have to agree with all! This is stupid and ridiculious! They have to draw a line somewhere!

Remember being PC has no line drawn hence the reason for PC

Ya know what? That is nothing. Up here in fruit central, we cannot even refer to gays as gays without a comment. So I just look at this slave/master stuff as one more sign that Revelations and Daniel are right on. Bill, Hillary and the rest have led us up the path of bad is good and good is evil and invasive. My wife and I were talking about it this morning over breakfast; The devil has got their attention and loyalty. So we will stand firm for right.

The new acceptable tems will be Pimp and Ho.

Aw, for hell. Wait till my wife hears this. She'll think I shouldn't be able to call her slace anymore. Wait, it's the other way around............

Anyhow, what a joke.

Pimp and Ho Leave Bill and Monica out of this :D

Next thing'll be the 'Master' cylinder on auto brake systems ....and the 'slave' cylinder for manual transmissions...will the lunacy ever end? Silly question...till the left(socialists) get 'evacuated'.
