Most normal, decent human beings can have a conversation or post something online without having to use profanity What is wrong with being respectful to someone by not using that filthy language.  I am no saint, and use that word sometimes myself, but I take into account who is around and will be exposed to my language.  Of course I have the freedom of speech, but I was raised to respect other people, and therefore refrain from using that kind of language when there are people around who might be offended by it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jackie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2009 6:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</guid><description><![CDATA[Rose -<br>I hate to tell you this but somebody better!<br><br>The article isn't about YOU!<br>It's about a facebook article by a fireman in Wales.<br><br>~ ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shakeitdown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2009 9:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</guid><description><![CDATA[WTF?<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 4:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</guid><description><![CDATA[my dads a firefighter, and i completely agree with the man who was punished for his statement. i mean seriously? accidents happen. but you have no idea how many people have actually called for things like "can you get my cat out of the tree?" to which my father replied, "lady, have you ever seen any cat skeletons in any trees?"<br><br>that point aside, people shouldnt be punished for words, but rather actions. if the man beat someone for making him work that day, SURE fire him.. but complaining is a part of EVERYONES job. <br><br>like you dont say things behind your bosses back that you dont want them to hear? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cole]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 4:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</guid><description><![CDATA[That has to be the DUMBEST thing I have heard in my life. I'm a firefighter and my Chief is a friend on my facebook. I could post that right now and I would not only NOT get in trouble, I would get AGREEMENTS!

I spent 6 months in London studying abroad in college. I also spent an extended amount of time in Germany when I was in the Marines. I've also visited some of the most NON-civilized places in the world. You now, the kind where you need to carry an automatic firearm to get to the local coffee shop.<br><br>I am also a certified Fire Services training instructor and I have spent a lot of time in Ireland, France and Mexico training firefighters.<br><br>The U.S. is still the best.

It doesn't matter what words he chooses to express himself, he still has a right to express his opinion. It was not his language that got him in trouble, it was his opinion. And that is just plain wrong. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sidney]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 6:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</guid><description><![CDATA[ok, I'm on facebook. I am writing my thoughts down...and I'm getting a few things off my chest. So, what gives ANYONE the right to tell me ANYTHING about what I wrote?? Are we at that point now?? That we can't even write something now without big brother jacking you up and almost getting fired about it? What? The next point is having someone LISTEN to what we say and having our jobs or life taken away because someone out there didn't like what we said. Unbelievable. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mary]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 6:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/06/facebook-rant-results-in-disciplinary-action-for-firefighter/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you don't want your words held against you, simply don't post them in public. Use a diary. As an employer, I wouldn't appreciate one of my employees complaining or even denigrating my company to the whole world. If you don't like working for a company, you have the right to get another job. You certainly don't have an unfettered right to say bad things about MY company when it is very possible that YOU are the cause of your own troubles. And I don't have the time or inclination to search the net every day for negative comments about my company and then defend them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[otobesane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 7th 2009 6:52PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
