I personally can't look at someone who has piercings in their nose or face. It gives me the shivers.

I certainly would never do business with them.

I remember years ago Dr. Laura had a girl on her show who couldn't get a job because of her outlandish appearance. She was crying tears of rage and frustration, and viewed it as discrimination.

Dr. Laura read her the riot act - you can dress however you want, but people are going to judge you by how you look. The girl just didn't get it.

I can understand someone not liking piercings or tattoos. What I cannot understand is someone refusing to do business with someone because of it. Amazing. I wonder how many people who feel this way also claim to be Christians?

Exactly right. You make decisions and you have to live by the reaction of others fair or not. I've always found that people who get radical piercings and tatoos are searching to be noticed. The way I feel is if you wish to be out of the mainstream then you exclude yourself from mainstream jobs.

Why do you think they get that crap in the first place? They want to set themselves aside from everyone else. Effective isn't it?

These kids think they are expressing them selves. Nothing like a horseshoe shaped ring on someone's nose to say "underachiever" to me.

I remember that Dr. Laura show. The girl argued that people shouldn't judge her by her appearance, but should try to get to know her first. Dr. Laura told her that her appearance revealed who she was. When Dr. Laura is good she is really, really good.
