MF YYC Politics - there, I mega did it

[fotze2]

I like to spray some water on the crotch region and go up in the morning "Looking good today Bev, look what you made me do here, you made a little mess!"

As long as you explain that your latest idea came from a brief period of “post-nut clarity” then it won’t be weird if you talk about blowing your load.

And if someone says it is? Just say “sorry you’re OFFENDED!” and everything will be OK.

I think the whole point is that it’s inappropriate and makes him look ridiculous. What more do you need?

Yes, I'm Chu

You guys are hilarious. Is it a dumb thing to say, sure. Is it offensive? Of course not. And really, trotting out other lines you might throw out and see if people get offended, fill your boots. Just because I'm not offended with that kind of thing doesn't mean I'd say it and I don't think that's a tough distinction.

Sorry Slava, I think you are wrong.

If I roll out "wet dream" in the next professional meeting I am in it won't go well.

The use of the phrase in that setting is completely offside. I'm struggling to see why you can't see that, or maybe I am misunderstanding you.

Professional UCB has a work call in 9 mins, he will not use "wet dream"

Personal UCB is gonna call a buddy later to talk about France v Ireland, He may use "wet dream" when talking about the game.

I can really sense some common ground on this issue between you guys, I think if you go back and forth a just few more times about it, some consensus can, and will be reached.

It's no Israel v Hamas thread but if we keep working at it we might get a breakthrough.

We really need to improve the quality of intercourse around here. Too many people are just going around ejaculating their opinions without giving a reach around to the other person's point of view.

Well what can I say, I just don't see the big deal. I guess I just don't really care that much about how he phrases things to begin with. Like I say, it's not something I'm trotting out personally, but I don't particularly care if someone else does.

At least we’ve unanimously re-concluded that Chu has a knack for saying dumb things, even though some, well just Slava, find them harmless and otherwise fine for a workplace discussion.

You’re the only one talking about it being offensive/not offensive, while also admitting that it’s inappropriate/ridiculous/dumb… which is what everybody else is actually saying.

Please tell me you’re just playing dumb on purpose here.

I just find it annoying that people are up in arms about it, overall, and I like arguing. I really don't care though.

[Ozy_Flame]

People are up in arms about plastic bags and straws. A politician with a perverted history saying sexual things on the taxpayer dime is nothing to shake off IMO.

[Fuzz]

I watched it again, and I believe those aren't even his words(many have more than 2 syllables). He's just reading some rant he read somewhere, or someone sent him that he thought would be appropriate to have on the record.


It's embarrassing enough this man is collecting tax dollars to represent me, but that he also had the lack of judgment to read this then think "ya, this represents my views and those of my constituents, and I should use it as an example" is yet another(did we need one?) example of his poor judgment and mental age. That anyone can even step in to say "who cares" is proof enough for me that our standards are so low for politicians that it gets a pass is an indication that maybe you should give your head a ####ing shake, and remember these people have a duty to us that we pay them for. Embarrassing.

Jeans? That’s unprofessional unless maybe it’s Friday.

I bet Slava references that csucker phrase by Millions every day at work.

It was going so well!

Unprofessional but not offensive.

[Wormius]

Is there anybody on HR here or comfortable enough with their HR to ask? Would be a little curious how it would go if an employee tried using “wet dream” during a meeting.

Now, from my cursory look at some APEGA disciplinary actions, using “great big boobs” during a conference call will lead to, will, disciplinary actions

[fotze2]

Human resources, neither human nor a resource.

Funny enough, my client used "wet dream" in a meeting 2 weeks ago. I'm a millennial so it's not something I'm going to say at work but, as a boomer, it worked for him.

Of course

I find it interesting that people can't seem to see the difference between my not really caring about Chu saying this and how I conduct myself. Like I have some clients that swear throughout our meetings and conversations and it doesn't bother me, but at the same time I don't do that. I just think that I carry myself with a higher degree of professionalism than this, however I really don't care if people swear and there's no way that I'd be offended.
