Tomorrow, we have 6 Syrian newspaper industry types coming to our offices to see how our operation runs and how they can improve on their newspaper/web operations to work more efficiently back in Damascus. Sounds pretty interesting. But we have this pretty militant Jewish journalist that I work with and I am wondering if the shit is going hit the fan. The timing on this probably couldn't be worse.

I want video of the event.

no problem
your boss, or whoevers boss this guys is should just level with him and say 'this is not a political rally, this is not the place or time for that shit..this is business, pure and simple..if you can handle that and act responsibly, cool..if not, stay the fuck at home and cool your jets till they're gone..thats what i'd do...
if he does decide to throw a fit at work over this, i'd fire his ass.

thid guy has a lot of pull here, for some reason. I was talking to him during the World Cup and he said "not one country on this planet maatters except the US and Israel.
I was like: "Umm yeah, but about that world cup..."

anyone who can't put aside that stuff in our particularly whore-ish professional context should probably be thinking about alternative career paths, I reckon. Could be funny though - I demand updates...

Why is the Jewish guy the 'bad guy' in this scenario.
I find it odd you're not the least bit worried that the Syrians won't start something as well.
Very odd. You sure you're not a terrorist sympathiser? jk

a guy i used to train with was syrian. our 3rd training partner was a jewish guy.
they got along fine. not every syrian and jew, or whomever you're talking about will hate each other just because of their nationality.
except the french. everyone hates the french.

if your militant jew mouths off to potential clients, then he should be fired.
i agree with exador1.

I guess you people just dont know the guy I am talking about.
I think taking a conversation in an elevator and turning it into "not one country on this planet matters, except for the US and Israel" might be an indicator of this guy's sensibilities. I mean Israel wasn't in the cup. you know?
But go ahead, Garett and Kona. Disagree with everything I say always...

mrdobolina, it was an honest question.
I would imagine you to be a militant Bush hater.
What if a Republican newspaper and 6 of it's staff was coming in to your office, could you restrain yourself? Probably because you're a professional and know when to keep your mouth shut for business.
Not sure what the big deal is here.
If he does mouth off he's fired, just like you would be if you mouthed off to the Republicans in house.

(Aug 17 06, 09:06)dude, i can't even talk to you now without you getting pissed at me? i even went back and re-read my post and it didn't even sound like it had any meaning behind it towards you. sorry if it came off that way but it's going to be pretty fucked up if i have to lighten everything i say to you up so you don't get your fucking panties in a ruffle. jesus.
and of course we don't know the guy. this is the first time you wrote about him... online.

haha para.

kona, I was called a terrorist sympathiser by your boy. Sorry.
- k0na_an0k0
i saw that. and he's not my boy.
still don't know why you jumped down my throat. i just told you facts that i thought would help ease your fears about the situation.
nevermind.
