    Re: What's your thoughts on this

    I think it is very sad indeed. I think your days of freedom of speech are numbered as America gets more and more politically correct. If they didnt have a problem with the button for a year why demand he take it off now? Why indeed. Because he brought a Bible to work to read during his lunch breaks. Now his lunch break is his time where he is not working and most likely not being paid. Whether it be 30mins or 60mins if he is not paid then he can read the Bible. It must have offended some other employee who complained. I am sure if this person were Jewish or Muslim then there would be a big lawsuit blah blah blah and the store would have backed down. I am assuming he is Christian. Again, very sad.

    I back the kid 100 per cent. If that button can get you fired, then company policy is just plain wrong. We have a Home Depot here in town, and I'll not be shopping there. (In truth I didn't like it anyway, so this boycott'll be easy.)

    I agree, in fact I switched to Lowes a long time ago. Lowes has it all over HD with service people and their prices tend to be slightly less on most things.

    Boys you can call me a looney if you want but I've been predicting this for several years now. The God fearing people of this country have just about had it with this anti Christian liberal push being put on by these liberal idiots. Once it reaches ridiculous heights and it's getting close there is gonna be some trouble you just watch and see. Did you see where they are up in arms over the Penn State students making t-shirts that resemble a Cross. It's a dang joke.

    God Almighty made this world and everything in it and he can Dang sure take it out, that's just how I feel about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I do agree you must abide by company rules and adhere to them or reep the consequences, that's just the way it is. My point in the other is this loss of freedom to worship anywhere one chooses just plain sicken's me litterally. When I see someone openly praying I find it up lifting and it makes me feel good, why should this bother anyone. I don't go around slapping nose rings out of some of these stupid looking morons that wait on me at fast food place do I as bad as I want to sometime. I'm done sorry for the rant, but this junk hits home with me.

    Exactly,it seems as if equality and freedom only pertain to those who would destroy our country instead of those who worked to build it.
    There are several big companies in Northern Ky that allow Muslims time to face whereever they face and pray to whomever they pray to,but donot afford the same respect to Christians.You can fly a Mexican Flag,but you cannot say THe United States Pledge Of Allegiance
