diversity training?

[fiarra]

Today I had diversity training. What did I learn?
-religious nuts are scary
-people talk too much
-something about icebergs

Can't I just say that I dislike everyone equally and leave it at that? Then I could skip this whole thing.

Things that irritated me:
-The guy who claimed that at the core of all people was religion. And that he judged people by their core, and therefore their religion. Oh also, apparently athesism is a religion too, even thought they don't know it.
-The story about the Muslim woman patient who asked for only female nurses and doctors. Which somehoe turned into a moral about how the patient can inpose their own prejudices upon their care providors. Excuse me, but there is a very big difference between the person saying they don't want black nurses/doctors because of prejudice.. and the Muslim woman who is very strict with her religion and is forbidden to be seen by males. So don't start turning that around. kthx.

Also, I don't know what it is about these things that compel people to start sharing stories about their lives.

In other news, I accidentally marked my entire first page of email as spam. Which means it was all deleted.. and marked as spam. I suspect I will be moving a lot of things from my spam filter back into my inbox for the next couple weeks.

*sigh*

careful, this entry is so spiteful it sort of sounds like I wrote it : P

pfft... try sitting through that and then NOT being spiteful. x.x

[thedreademperor.livejournal.com]

that's my point. I would be spiteful. Incredibly so.

Religious nuts are not only scary, they are certifiable. Protect yourself.

The world will always be an ignorant place. I'm finally realizing that and trying to come to terms with it.

Can't we just all get along and play video games? Christ.

[starsparkle333.livejournal.com]

Ah video games... I agree. We should just do that and all the problems would be fixed.

..Until someone lost and was butthurt about it. And then people start throwing controllers... and.. oy.. xD

[thedreademperor.livejournal.com]

I wouldnt throw my controller. I'd strangle you with the cord. This is why wireless controllers are a bad idea.

[starsparkle333.livejournal.com]

xD But then doesnt that mean that wired is worse? You can still throw a wired controller. And with the added peril being that you can kill the console too.

[thedreademperor.livejournal.com]

well I want it to be wired, because if it wasnt I couldnt strangle you, and also I could only throw it once. With wires I can reel that puppy back in after I brain you with it.

This is why I work in the lab.

I work in a lab too. All employees are required to go through this stuff. Faculty, doctors, secretaries.. etc
