Talk about grounds for dismissal

According to adressa.no, there have ben several incidents where Trondheim bus drivers (from Team Trafikk) have said thrown derogatory remakrs towards gay and lesbian bus passengers, and even asked one girl to leave the bus after she confirmed that she was lesbian after the bus driver inquired about it.

Read that one more time - the bus driver actually asked an oncoming passenger about her sexual orientation. How much of an ignorant douchebag is it possible to be?

In another episode, a 17 year old boy was attacked by a fellow passenger "because he was all feminine-acting", and instead of actually coming to his rescue, the bus driver told the 17 year old boy that he didn't like driving around with gay passengers, and for the rest of the ride, the bus driver and the (other) bully talked amongst themselves about how much they hate gays........

If there is even a grain of truth to this, the bus drivers in question should be made examples out of - fired, forced to apoligize publicly and THEN have to pay some reparations to heir victims. This kind of medieval crap needs to be struck down on hard.

Don't forget that they should go to the prison for a while and hold the pocket of one of the inmates

Ouch. I didn't see that you had this in draft before I posted the Rocky cartoon above. Now you made me look extremely non-PC here...

Re the article: I'm still surprised at how some people don't accept homosexuals. It's 2008, for crying out loud. But the worst part is: How come the bus driver even considers asking people about their sexual orientation when they enter the bus? It's totally unheard of, and something nobody would or should expect.

....checketh it out - I think I've got you covered, brah :-)

And yeah; how absurd would it be to get onboard a bus and having the driver flat out ask what our sexual orientation is?

And Pigeon: Nice Prison Break reference, chief
