I dont see a thing bigoted about Owen's ... but that's just me and my opinion. I actually found it hilarious ... and would be happy if I was on a ship for month's at a time ... to be entertained in this fashion or at least anything similar to get me to laughing. :)Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010628715012863388.post-75633327519576165172011-01-06T07:42:32.868-06:002011-01-06T07:42:32.868-06:00Interesting view and opinion on this Infodel ...

If Honors had directed similarly bigoted infantile "humor" against blacks, Jews, or for that matter Texans, there would be no questioning the fact that he had shown himself unfit to serve in command of a large crew of subordinates which included members of those groups. The same principle applies here, even if prejudice against gays remains more acceptable in some backward parts of society than prejudice against blacks does.<br /><br />There are better ways of boosting morale, especially since a spectacle like this would actually have drastically harmed morale among those members of the crew who are members of the group being ridiculed (or who have relatives or friends who are, or who are simply non-prejudiced).<br /><br />Remember, too, that Honors was already of high rank when he did this. He knew what the rules and policies are, and yet he did this anyway. That shows very poor judgment.<br /><br />The same increasingly applies in civilian life, by the way. In most government agencies and many large corporations, a display of bigotry like this by a manager would be grounds for firing.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.com
