bad stuff happens, we just have to cope with it.

Just like we should not have suppressed the whole of society for Covid, we should not be giving employees the right to sue their employers just because somebody upsets them.

Stop butting in. You're trying to answer a question that hasn't been asked

No I did answer the question, bad stuff happens everywhere. Unless it is something serious and regular which can be significantly reduced by a proportionate response, which is not going to cause a load of bad stuff for other people, society (collectively and individually) just has to cope with it.

 

I gave two examples, Covid and this bill :

 

1 - Obviously Covid was serious, but the response was not proportionate and that response DID cause a load of bad stuff for many millions of people.

2 - On the other hand someone getting upset at work is not serious, and certainly not serious enough to introduce legislation (especially legislation enabling them to sue their employer). Man up, or get another job.

Read the thread back. I've asked a question which has nothing to do with the above

Your question was :

 

Please do tell us the name of this magical utopia where nothing bad happens

And you reply about COVID. 

 

Unless you can tell me the name of the country that he lives in your persistent opinion on COVID response is irrelevant and not an answer to the question.

 

Honestly......

It was entirely relevant. Bad things happen, what matters is what we do about them and I gave you two examples of a disproportionate response, and Covid (more accurately the response to Covid) was at one extreme. Legislating to allow employees to sue their employers if a customer (or anyone else) upsets them is at the other extreme.

But both are linked by their disproportionality.

In fact, whilst I am on, I have just been advised that the reason Salters Brook bridge on the Woodhead route has been down to one lane for literally years is because it is a heritage construction and therefore requires specialist repairs which will take an inordinately long time. That is also vastly disproportionate as thousands of people are being inconvenienced every day by that.

Ignore him Checkey. He's complete waste of time,

 

He lies about me making some ridiculous claim that nothing bad ever happens where I live, which is of course Republica Dominica.

 

Is unaware of all the interactions and conversations I've had here about my adopted country. which is, of course, Republica Dominica.

 

And also apparently incapable of simply clicking on my profile to reveal my location, which is. of course,Republica Dominica.

 

He and some other conspiracy theorists here, have me living in variously, Arbourthorne, Shirecliffe? and now apparently "Utopia" and Rotherham.

 

Don't blame them, they don't know any better!

Does not have to happen!

 

I notice it more, because where I live, we all live in relative harmony and peace with each other! 

Right, so now you've revealed that you reside in Dominica. 

 

These are the crime rates

So still areas with high crime as with most countries. 

 

Harmonic indeed

Harmonic indeed! 

 

They give criminals a shrift here,  Western pantie wetters might even say harsh!

 

Supported by the general public and visitors here who go about their daily lives in relative safety, and in harmony with EACH OTHER.

 

Between 5 and 10 million tourists an average year.  (DR population is around 10 million)

 

As Monty Python would say, Why are these tourists so keen to kill themselves?"

 

But I really do have to go now!

 

Maybe tomorrow?
