My wife has Christmas pictures sceheduled in about a week. I was told to take myself and my older boy to Great Clips and have our hair cut. (No $1200 haircuts for me.)
Anyways, it was near closing time and there were 2 people working, a female and a male. The man was a big dude in height and weight maybe 6'0 200+ lbs with a beard and Go-T. Sorry, I don't know how to spell it. His fingernails were painted black and had an obvious gay accent.
No, I don't either. Fags, on the other hand, have all sorts of problems. I prefer not to associate with them.
I never said don’t use good judgement, I said its stupid and wrong and impractical to judge someone solely on nail polish or a speech impediment or other small issues of appearance. As for your previous statements, I seriously doubt that a woman dressed in lumberjack clothes would be selling lingerie, and lots of gay men are experts in landscaping so I’d have no problem asking a gay man for help in buying a lawnmower, unlike you. Beside, how would I know for sure if a man in a hardware shop is gay in the first place? And what would it really matter? You would pass people up who could be very useful to you just because you’ve prejudged them incompetent in a particular field because of their attire. Pretty lame if you ask me.
You’re the consumer, so you get to choose who cuts your hair, period. However, posting it on the internet as a moral dilema screams drama, and I mean backstage at the ice capades drama if you catch my drift.
“Was I Immoral or Wrong?”
No.
As much as it pains me to be considered ‘lame’, it’s my choice, and there’s nothing immoral about making it.
Judgement, discrimination, etc. have not always been dirty words.
I don’t see what’s wrong with having a guy cut your hair. And he could very well be playing gay, if you want to be a stylist rather than a barber (because stylists get to charge more for all the barbering stuff, plus do other more expensive things like perms and dyes) there is a general assumption that male stylists are gay. And most probably are, but even the ones that aren’t will tend to have the affectations on the clock, because a straight male stylist would just confuse people.
Your money, your choice. That should never make you feel guilty.
And again, Your children, Your choice. You are the final arbiter of who does and does not have contact with them.
And it is “goatee”, btw.
> I guess we will just have to disagree with each other on this.
Fair enough, I’m good with that.
did I say you were immoral? NO. did I say don’t have judgement or discrimination NO. Yes it is your choice, but considering how hard it is to find competent help these days, it seems that you are not only cutting off your nose to spite your face, but teaching your children bad habits for the wrong reasons.
From reading your posts over time, I figured you would be reasonable enough to accept that...:)
