    Actually, I work with "dot heads" and I find that remark offensive. Very odd coming from you, rick.

      I had to Google that and agree. Please remove that post Rick it is beneath you, and I know it doesn't reflect your feelings.

        I never understood how the term...dot head can actually be offensive, yeah, it's a little derogatory, but no worse than calling an African American a black person, which most don't seem to mind in our society.

          Anyone who repeats a so called offensive slang even in description, can't find it all that offensive.

            I think we know Rick well enough to know it was not his intention. But consider how the term was used in the statement in question....Just a slip of the tongue I believe.

              Nope. I have heard others refer to people of Indian descent who practice that particular religion. It is offensive, no matter the context.
              It is similar to using the "N" word casually, it is not politically correct. This will not turn into a pizzing match, that is what OT is for.

                This belongs in off-topic. You used a religious slur and I called you on it. Now let's go to OT and discuss it.

                      wtf?

                      The sign is obviously of a guy with a dot for a head riding a horse.

                      I just don't understand how someone could take the written description of the sign as racial or religious bigotry.

                      Seems like one would really have to be looking for it, to find it in this instance.

                        One could just as well substitute the 'N' word & then point out that the sign clearly depicts a black man, as it were.
                        I'm guessing it was probably a bad pun.
                        Carry on!

                          Eric sent these as the next tags, I would have posted sooner but I had to drive my daughter to the airport in Saskatoon.

                          An old gas pump, in this case a working one, or



                          Or this style of forklift, meant for bales of hay.
