I am an employer. If you are tatted up, I am not hiring.
Regardless of the whether you or I agree with another’s discrimination or choice, that person is free to choose as he sees fit as long as it doesn’t interfere with another’s freedom.
1st amendment, the right to have free speech unimpeded by the government.
Wisdom, knowing when and how to use your free speech.
Idiocy, thinking that the first amendment applies to your future employer.
As it should be. I’d personally be more upset about business being forced to hire tatted people (and I are one) than businesses willingly choosing not to. And I’m not upset about that in the slightest.
It’s the entitlement mentality. They ‘feel’ that since they are all unique little snowflakes (as their ‘special’ everywhere tats show, that the world must serve them. they have been told that all their life.
The world however, sees things differently.
I would hire him to clean out my septic tank, by hand, naked so that all those swell tattoos could spend time just where they belong. That would cover them up!
QUESTION: What do you call a med student who graduates in the bottom 2 percent of his class?
ANSWER: Doctor.

The point is - I have little reason to respect someone EVEN IF THEY ARE A DOCTOR if I know “whats underneath”.
Ha ha ha! That right was overridden long ago.
What they mean to me is he's an idiot.
IMO, the federal government is also acting unconstitutionally when they interfere with a private company’s freedom to discriminate and choose as well.
One may think that is frightful because it would allow companies to hire and fire at will (bound, of course, by the contractual agreement with its employees).
Yes, freedom allows unfairness. But the alternative is worse - government forced “fairness” according to some self-interested politician’s or bureaucrat’s ambitions and priorities.
A society built upon the individual’s freedom to choose (discrimination) is a healthy society that respects the rights of individuals to make their own private decisions.
As Milton Friedman said, “A society that puts equality ahead of freedom will have neither. A society that puts freedom ahead of equality will have a great deal of both.”
Thats a good candidate for the Unnngh thread.

He looks like most of my co-workers. No reason he could not work in a factory.
I would, just to see a dead guy deliver a pizza. :-)
“I see tattoos and I think disease, automatically. I don’t care who you are.”
And drug use, don’t know the exact percentage but I would bet it is over 95%.
Yeah, but would you eat the pizza?
Spare me the Millennialist mumbo-jumbo. If you look like a freak, expect to be treated like a freak. Vote however you want. Look however you want. And be man enough to accept the consequences.
Oilfield service companies would hire him for manual labor but I can tell by his candy ass look he wouldn’t be there for a 2nd day.
I probably went through 10-15 whiney little snots just like him in a single year.
Yeah, unless it was Ebola.
I think their is a significant difference between getting tattoos to display among the people you select, and getting tattooed to the point that they define you.
