When did you first come into contact with extreme modern liberalism?

sxt

I first noticed it about 10 years ago when working in an office. I had to do a full day manual lifting course teaching you how to lift files properly, and how to sit on a chair

Can anybody trace the beginnings?

More to do with lawsuits I'd say.

A manual handling course is liberal?

You don't know what liberalism means :rolleyes:

What has sitting in a chair got to do with lifting?

Years ago, saw someone spreading twice as much butter on a slice of toast than he should have been.

Bloody PC gone mad - can't even lift a file improperly nowadays without offending a black.

Was it a swivel chair? Because I can think of something else you can swivel on.

They mean how to adjust a chair to minimise potential damage of sitting from 9-5 5 days a week for 40 years.

They do induction courses which include information taken from experience of how RSI occurs and tell people how to adjust the chair and screen to minimise RSI over your lifetime.

Bloody leftist, opposing RSI.

Nothing to do with liberalism in the political sense. Organisations have to take seemingly ludicrous measures now when it comes to health and safety because of the litigiousness of today's world.

Posture is actually an important one though for preventing neck/shoulder/back/spine problems. It's a good thing to learn. I used to have poor posture and got terrible pains in my shoulder blades - since I took care of my posture those pains are gone.

Not bollocks, and also not liberalism, it's just basic, but (very important) elf 'n safeties.



Seriously though, if your going to spend 8hrs of every weekday for 45yrs at a desk do it properly. The folks crouched over an unraised laptop will be spending a fortune at the chiropractor before too long.

Actual forced liberalism (in the workplace) would be things like the introduction of lefty political ideals using emblems or symbology in the workplace.

Yet show up with a narrow centered moustashe, nice slicked back hair or put a flat-earth model of the planet earth on your desk, and it's all 'ohhh you can't be doing that'.

Was just reading a women's health article and it made reference to "menstruating people" - cannot take that stuff seriously. Immensely silly.

Exactly - women aren't people, they're women. The clue is in the word 'women'.
