--- Quote from: EEEnthusiast on September 19, 2019, 12:44:28 pm ---Strange rule on sexual harassment .... employees should not indulge in pornography and sexual acts while at office and so on.... One strange clause was "Indecent exposure of body parts".... --- End quote --- --- Quote from: madires on February 09, 2020, 12:21:28 pm ---It's all about people. ... --- End quote --- Also the local situation and condition sometimes created weird rules. Sorry OP, don't mean to be rude or bashing the country, as you're in India, maybe ... just maybe, this created for a reason, preventive maybe ? :-// This is just an example from CNN, there are so many similarity from others news agencies as well -> CNN search results , just scroll thru the list as it has so many pages, and watch the date of each related entry to see the frequency. Unless these are also fake or fabricated news ? :-// CMIIW |

--- Quote from: EEEnthusiast on February 09, 2020, 01:15:54 pm ---Those news reports are very much real... --- End quote --- Appreciate the confirmation, to be honest I was wishing & hoping those are fake news. :'( At least at the place where I was born & grew up, as grown up, believe we're all aware that this kind of "incidents" happened as all other places in the world. But looking at the frequency and the "scale & depth" of each incident >:(, personally I find it very-very disturbing. Also believe CNN does not cover all cases, still from the search results, for me these are considered too many, at least at the place where I live. That rules, maybe .. again, just maybe, the creator/author thought, there is nothing wrong adding those extra clause, and .. again ... maybe, he or "she" believes it serves more good than harm, looking at the local circumstances of course. Apologize if my "opinion" sounds rude, just pointing out different paradigm, especially from a foreigner. |

--- Quote from: Circlotron on February 09, 2020, 11:45:27 am ---I worked for 10 years in the design lab of a company that made good quality switch mode power supplies. On a daily basis we would make engineering decisions that affected fire and electrical safety, the sort of thing that if done wrong would have possibly caused the company to get sued into oblivion. Despite this, we were not trusted to have a key to the stationery cupboard to get a pen. --- End quote --- Penny-wise Pound-foolishness is an internal expense that most managers will never understand. It shows up at all levels of corporate structure. Cheap pens for expensive engineers. Cheap oscilloscopes for expensive projects. Cheap security for expensive buildings. |

Instincts cannot be controlled by brains, or else the population would not grow exponentially in this world... --- End quote --- Buuuuullllshit. Of course men can control their instincts if they want to. If one is raised right, this is not a struggle. --- End quote --- Well, it may depend on the age of the person, the level of testosterone etc. One may use his intelligence to overcome instincts if trained hard, but the natural responses should not be curbed. It may lead to long term deviant behaviour among people. It may be better to use the intelligence to assist the instincts. That will take him to greater heights. --- End quote --- What complete and utter nonsense. That’s just medieval-level chauvinistic justification for lechery. Another way of describing it is victim-blaming the victims of sexual assault. Nobody is saying one can’t have desires. How one acts upon desires, on the other hand, is purely a matter of choice. |

Absolutely mind bogglingly stupid. |
