@SBandy well he definitely wasn't a happy chappy where he was working, or his current life situation, which we can all attest to sometime in our lives.

People can and should feel liberated to get things off their chest.
But somethings that are on your chest, might be infectious green coagulated mucus that no-one wants to see, or hear your cocouphani like spouting nonsensical racket...

Spoken from experience ;D

@Kirk awe thanks, ditto (the face kinda looks like Ditto as well lol)

UK politics are rife with this stuff. Everyone tries to shift the blame onto someone else, and we expect them to pay, aslong as it isn't us.... Pointing the finger but not lifting a finger to help, isn't very, well, helpful. And doesn't instil anyone with confidence. Earlier in the post someone was saying (might'very been you) that if you are fearful of what you say outside of work (granted, they should have some common sense....) may get you fired, you and other people at the company, will just live in fear and won't have as much job satisfaction.

"And so the black&white lie becomes more true every day. "

Gray matters apparently ;P

@Kirk I actually agree with you. Thing is, if I was in that guys situation, I would want someone like you to believe in me, in humanity, to be merciful and be willing to forgive me and most of all, defend me. Instead of being bitter about it, if the company basically protected him, he'd feel true remorse and change his ways and endeavour to work for that company maybe for the rest of his life. If this was a friend this happened to, I would still stick up for them, especially when they're wrong.

I remember a story where a guy basically forgot to switch something off an a plant at night and left it running. In the morning he'd realised his mistake and went to the bosses office with resignation letter in hand. The manager let him off and said get back to work. The guy stunned said, "why aren't you gonna fire me?" (Bear in mind the mistake cost the company like 100 thousands or millions, you get the point) the manager said something like "well, to let you go now would be a waste, especially since I've just invested(insert huge amount here) in your training".

I'm paraphrasing the story but I think it communicates that we live in a mindset of quick fixes and if we don't like something of someone, we can just 'get' another one, instead of trying to work things out properly.

@BLPs ooh congrats on getting engaged! I wish you all the happiness and joy a marriage can offer. Biblically, the reason why man is placed as the head over the woman is not to exert dominance and such, but in having the heart to love her fully and putting her first before yourself, the humility to bow your knee and serve her the best you can, and the using your strength for her and laying down your life to protect her. I pray you'll be able to do all that by God's grace, blessings, Steve.

@The_Mysteron Agreed. I'm really fond of splatoon, it just oozes charm all over da place! And think the developers choice of using the game pad the way they have done is genius. It's is easily the best utilisation so far in any game on the system, and seems more like an integral part of the experience that adds to the immersion, instead of a tacked on control scheme or gimmick that can deter you from gameplay (I'm looking at you Starfox (haven't played it yet but I have bought it, so time will tell if it's true for me as well ))

@lilith yeah a little, I can read it better than I can speak it, it's quite an intricate language, yet when spoken, it flows like a river. Each of the letters is a picture (like the Egyptions' hieroglyphs) so a word is like a comic strip. So even if you don't know what the word is, you can sorta work it out by the letters. Kinda cool I must say.

Also, including the gematria as well (numerical assignments of letters) it is even a deeper level of understanding and fun, cuz I like math
