Political Correctness For Engagment Rings And Wedding Bands Comes To The UK.
The UK web site Personnel Today reports ( Bare Fingers At Work) that workers will now be forced to remove their wedding rings while at work after a shock amendment was added to the Equality Bill on April 1st so that employees going through a divorce would not feel discriminated against.
Ministers from the three main political parties backed an amendment in the House of Commons to make employers ban wedding and engagement rings from the workplace, after the European Parliament ruled that divorcees should be afforded the same protection as religious groups.
It follows advice from the equality watchdog earlier this month that vegans and atheists should be protected under equality law.
A new equality code of practice states: "A belief need not include faith or worship of a god or gods, but must affect how a person lives their life or perceives the world."
Ministers in parliament last night claimed that those who have experienced, or were going through divorce, did so because it was indeed a belief about how a person lives their life, and that anything that supports marriage could be seen as anti-discriminatory to that belief.
One said: "People going through divorce do so because they believe marriage is no longer an option for them. It is their right to believe that they are not suited to the life of marriage after all, and seeing other people's wedding rings at work or elsewhere is a constant reminder to them that their belief is undermined."
He added: "Employers must have a duty to ensure that workers do not feel discriminated against at work. Asking colleagues to remove wedding rings is the most simple and cost-effective way of ensuring equality."
Under the proposals, workers will also be told not to discuss marriage proposals or arrangements at work for fear of upsetting divorcees.
WOW! What the #$%&^%)*& is going on?

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

I have been searching online more than 4 hours today, yet I never read any compelling blog like yours. It's pretty worth considerable for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more favorable than ever before.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
