The point I was making was about employment decisions and the bigger issue, not just this isolated event. I assure you this is not a simple as it would seem. In this instance, yes, since she was acting in the capacity as an agent. But the broader context? Not so simple.

No, I read it. I just didn't catch that part.

Shot, then hung. The convicted of a crime and sentenced for the next century in prison.

It seems many Americans are spending Thanksgiving Day alone, either by choice or by circumstance. A changing culture has made the American holiday more vulgar and, as a result, not as much a priority as it once was. School, work, geography, and a host or other reasons mean a day by ones self is more the norm than ever. My link

It was a joke and a funny one. Surely no one took this as a serious assertion, right? Romney? I'm sure he knows how to dispense petrol and drives often on the motorway. The politics of a picture. Bollocks.

Oh, Yeah. Well ... er, uh, that.

Perfecto.

I agree. I went back and re-read the article. That is what made the difference in my mind. While on the clock, even not-thinking actions are still part of the implied employment contract.

Hungover, maybe. Upset, certainly. Broke? Hardly.

Preposterous. A man grabbed a woman's arse, chased after her, and then verbally assaulted her. But no charges were pressed? There needs to be some re-writing of the laws on this matter. My link

I just thought of this oldie. It shall be in my head all day now.

Secession is considered a serious, serious matter.

That was Elvis. Incognito.

Careful. You're agreeing with me.

I see where you are going with that and there is a nuanced difference. That is why I was careful to note these were spontaneous actions, and even mentioned political activities. Her actions there could have been construed as political speech and, disrespectful as it was and as stupid as the thoughtless action was, political speech is protected speech. Tobacco use, however, is not political speech but behavior that has a direct bearing on patient care and the value of care. Nuanced as it is, it is different. No obviously this lady was not making a political statement, In fact, had she b

Don't forget Nessie.

That's not what I said. I didn't say what she did was silly. You are putting those words in my post. In discussing the bigger question about non-employment actions and termination beyond this specific event, THAT was how I used the term "silly."

I don't think you're hearing what I am saying. Remember this next time you do something really silly and wonder should your employer will terminate you for it. It's a thought. Should she be fired? Probably, since it is certainly reflecting on the business. Bigger picture and bigger question for other situations would leave a lot of room for discussion about a termination policy over non-job related actions.

You mean Valdamort? I prefer my philosophical hero be more like Jesus than a fictional character used to make a political statement.
