I just figured he was magical!
discrimination can be for rational or irrational reasons. i agree it’s not an inherently bad thing, though people today only seem to use it negatively. they don’t see that making choices isthe same thing as discriminating.
it’s like they aren’t taught what similies are, or even know what a thesaurus is for.
i am for discrimination for rational reasons. i think it’s stupid to discriminate for irrational ones.
but we all have to make choices, therefore we all have to discern/discriminate to make those choices.
Wrong. Those tats are one of the first things I'm going to be concerned about because they make you look unclean and show poor judgement making skills
i believe in freedom of association. i believe employers are free to hire who they want. i don’t believe he has a right to work anywhere he wants because employers are free to not hire him.
I would have no trouble hiring someone with tatoos like that for a job involving manual labor.
He’s absolutely right that it’s discrimination. So what? I discriminate every morning when I brush my teeth with toothpaste instead of hair gel. I discriminate when I drink wine with my dinner instead of anti-freeze. There’s nothing wrong with discrimination, and if we didn’t all use it, we wouldn’t stay alive for very long.
The employer is discriminating in not wanting someone who looks like a graffiti wall to represent his business. Good for him.
why post on threads you complain about being posted here? why not post some threads you think should be here? why the insults?
Starbucks is hiring. He could be a hair dresser.There are plenty of places that will hire those with tatoos. This idea that you can make yourself a spectacle and not reap the consequences is naive and passive aggressive.
Considered replies are always wellcome and I agree that body art can degenerate into a fetish for people with “other directed” personalities, people who can only know themselves as they are reflected in the reactions of others which is a straight up human tragedy. Keep in mind that republicans were the cutting edge vanguard of their day back when the whims of kings and their undeserving aristocracy knew arrogance as their motivic godhead.
Tats are fine by me. I have two. Short sleeve shirts cover them. No issues ever working professionally or in manual labor.
Ya takes the ink, ya takes yer chances. His tats guaranteed him a life in fast food service. No shame in that. If he’s got an issue with that, he already made his choices. He should take the matter up with himself.
replace “black&d” with “p”
Ergo, if you are turned down for any reason it's discrimination./s
i agree. it may not be the type of character an employer wants their workers to show!
Yep. My first thought was, "Tatoos are the least of your problems." Someone needs to introduce this guy to the works of John T. Molloy. Or the book by Miss Manners on how to raise kids, which shows exactly the "good people have good manners" belief system that Molloy talks about. Everything you do, everything you wear, even how you stand tells people things about you. It's your job to make sure the messages you're sending are the ones you want them to hear.
I would have hired him as a painter, if he claimed experience and agreed to wear painter whites and a respectable hat, but wouldn’t have been surprised if he wasn’t around in a week or so.
Some go over the top, in my opinion. Like why do I have to know about his baby’s birth, about his baby’s mama; why junk up my eyesight (lol) and push this as something good for someone impressible. His right to do this of course, but these tats of today seem like they are wanting attention (Look at me!) ( I’m tough, I’m cool!). A real guy knows what to do seriously. I don’t blame the company for turning him down because they should have the right to do so in regarding attitudes and appearances.
Son, seriously. Grown ups are talking here.
Go away and learn to read and write like an adult. Then come back and attempt to have some meaningful dialogue.
