OT issues vs. problems??

Clare for president! Finally a candidate who has a frieking chance of holding a press conference about a socially challenged military individual who was having adjustment issues and some acting out behaviour, creating a man caused tragedy. Clare strides to the microphone and says "The world has no place for Islamic terrorists. If you try to convert or kill the United States, we will hunt you down and kill you first. The United States is a land of religious liberty, and killing people of other faiths will not be tolerated."

What's that about. I was just talking about "political correctness" A drunk is still a drunk, reguardless what the current politically correct term is.

Don't forget the "concern" era.

But yea, the shit hit the fan and people were given (had it rammed up their ass) the "opportunity" to "solution" it. Of course if one considered not taking it on then they had a problem.

When management got sick of the puke face looks when they offered an opportunity, some 4th level manager came up with how he was "excited" when given an opportunity. Now all the suck-up managers under him were suddenly literally saying how they were excited when shit wasn't going right. All these managers and their wanna-be kiss-asses were always excited. I wish the whole bunch all went off to a big presentation and had a J.O. party or something.

Oh, it is SO good to find a person who speaks directly.

I've noticed that when a brown person refers to another brown person using an older more historic name, it's seldom taken as offense. But let a pink person call a brown person an older descriptor, and the brown person is more likely to be offended.

Know I'm saying?

I don't know. Since Mormons are a minority, we might not be able to ridicule you either.

[Stormin Mormon]

My people were persecuted in the 1800s, and so I want reparations! Anyone who criticizes a Mormon is committing a hate crime?

[norminn]

As opposed to a "love crime"? :o) That's another p.c. thought that is totally ridiculous....a criminal assaults or kills someone randomly and it is not as bad an act as choosing someone on the basis of some demographic indentifier? Insane.

What about 'math problems' in school? Are they now 'math issues'?

People treated Hamlet's remarks and behavior as issues: something they wished to discuss with him. Under it all, the king and queen considered it his problem: he had to shape up or suffer the consequences.

When Ophelia spoke and acted inappropriately, people considered it her problem, not an issue. They claimed to love her but felt that she might as well be dead if she had a problem she couldn't handle.

[E Z Peaces]

They are problems because the individual is expected to solve them.

I got picked on in school, shouldn't I get respirations[sic] from the board of education?

Whether it's called an "issue" or a "problem," if it can be fixed with money, it's actually neither. It's an "expense."

[Tony Hwang]

Hmm, You deal with an issue, you solve the problem.

[Stormin Mormon]

Agreed. I'd like to see criminals get less punish for love crimes. It only carries forth the twisted logic of our elected reps.

[Stormin Mormon]

You might be able to find a lawyer who would take that one on.

[Phisherman]

"Problem" has a negative meaning like something is wrong that may not have a solution. "Issue" sounds like an anomaly that can be corrected. At least at the workplace, never present a problem (or issue) which you do not have a suggestion for a fix else you may be labeled as a "problem" and not a "problem solver."

[The Daring Dufas]

I have problems with my issues,.... or is it the other way around?
