American Taliban: Women have no right to their own bodies, but they're responsible for HIS

[Flabbergasted]

88. If 40% have dated someone at work how many would have if asked?

We can push that number well over 50% The actual number is 12.5% marry a partner from work. That's about 7.5 million people.

The more valid statistic is 40% date someone at work. That's 120,000,000 people. I can see how work place romance can be a problem but it can also end happily. I remember the two 5th grade teachers in my elementary school got married: a workplace romance.

I am not a professional and most people in this country are not. They're blue collar workers who don't have rules against work place fraternization. I'm going out on a limb but I'm guessing that people would only get fired if it poisoned the work environment, or embarrassed or could embarrass the company.

Dating and sexual attraction in the work place is pervasive in society and there is nothing inherently immoral about being attracted to someone. Attraction has much more to do with genetics than personal choices.

I don't want to appear that I'm defending his actions. I'm not. I think he was attracted to a woman and found it difficult to keep from flirting. You could easily see this as immoral and it probably was. Certainly his wife did.

I just think it was a very challenging situation. His wife worked with him. He was attracted to his employee. He flirted. His wife got pissed off. He knew he was wrong. His wife and him were probably fighting day and night, at work and at home. She felt threatened and there was probably a tremendous amount of animosity between the two co workers in a small office. I think that perhaps there was another route. Perhaps he should not have taken his pastors advice.
