Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
I want to be a rocket Scientist, but I'm not smart enough. I think the rocket scientist field discriminates against people like me.
The Apprentice is entertainment, first and foremost. It is as absurd to sue the show for requiring healthy (and presumably attractive) people than it would have been for the same person to sue the producers of Pretty Woman for not considering him for the Julia Roberts character in that movie.
LOL. See #5, which I posted before seeing your post.
"How could you not see what was going on!"
''I want to be a rocket Scientist, but I'm not smart enough. I think the rocket scientist field discriminates against people like me.''
Yeah. Those crippled people must be real dumb. Afterall, you've never seen a gimp on Jeopardy... not in 50 years... not one gimp.... not even Stephen Hawking... no discrimination here... let's move on.
Hee hee LOL
More taxpayer money flushed down the crapper all in the name of vanity...
The Denver Broncoes did not offer me a contract, but I can run and throw a ball. It's discrimination.....
"... no alcohol was involved" has nothing to do with the case. It is frivilous though. Overall, I don't waste my time watching any of those programs...
I am not against this guy. It's billed as an interview and according to ADA (as flawed as it is) If he's mentally capable, let him have a try at it.
A spinal cord injury doesn't mean he's an idiot, however it would be difficult to walk around jobsites.
But you do take the time to comment on them?
You're fired moron! How can a disabled person renovate a motel, etc. Damn, I HATE lawyers
I've never seen a gimp on Jeopardy
I'll bet I'll never see one
And I can tell you here and now
That you will never see one
Just a thought...would casting this person on the show create a liability? I know this sounds terrible, but things like this happen everyday. If Trump told this guy "Your fired", would there be an impending lawsuit b/c of his disability?
I am all for equal rights--but where there is money, there is controversy.
Anyone who tries out for "The Apprentice" is mentally challenged.
Heck, I can probably drink Brian Griese under the table, why didn't I get to take over for Elway?
