#MeTooFar Poll
December 4, 2018 at 11:22 am
OK so let's put some numbers to this.
Link to original post
Gist: radio station petitioned to pull "Baby it cold outside" from it's lineup. Feel free to post up some numbers for a consensus from the community on this. No there is no third option, choose a side or GTFO 
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Meh, a radio station can pull or not pull whatever they want. If they think it'll hurt their bottom line then they should pull it - doesn't really matter why. It's a business...and they've -always- been in the business of a songs popularity.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

it doesn't matter why to us, which is why I proposed a perspective where the poll-er was the radio station owner/manager. To some it's a business, to some it's an outlet for free speech. That's why YMMV, hence the poll.

Apathy is always an option. Many times the best one.

"By the #metoo movement"? Wasn't it literally one person who called in and said that?

This poll is meaningless

Apparently that's what the radio station said.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

If you wanted a meaningful poll, you shoulda asked about pulling all Justin Bieber's shit off the air!

So you’ll not choose a side because you don’t care?
But if instead of a poll regarding a small number of people complaining about being offended, and wanting to save their ears vs free speech were about something you cared about you’d vote?
