I learned 3 things from reading this thread.

(1) It's okay to compromise your integrity if it's for business purposes.

(2) The entire U.S. population has officially turned into women, because now everybody gets offended by everything.

(3) If Hammerdown had said 'punk-ass bitch' instead of 'thug-ass bitch', this thread would have been 25 pages shorter.



gay...own a business, and then come talk to me.

No its not OK to ever compromise your integrity. If you discriminate in business you discriminate everywhere else. Your just fooling yourself if you dont think so.

People always get offended. Its human nature. Some people cry about it more than others which may be what you mean by a nation of women.

Your probably correct about your last point. Still until you actually would say it to the persons face in a dark alley its better left unsaid.

Yeah but where do you draw a line if you have no integrity? What if the business thing was to maybe not employ women, non-whites, or the disabled? Do you fold to make a buck? "All money aint good money"

That's cuz he's a thug! He has more practice at it than I do.
Or maybe hes not a thug but just could kick your ass? Theres lots of people that arent thugs that could put a beatdown on you. As a matter of fact I know some women that could take you. I bullshit you not.

Chances are, if yer putting a "beatdown" on someone, yer a fucking thug.


Grow up.

Most of the people I know that could put a beatdown on a person are fine upstanding citizens. They don't go around starting stuff but they will definitely finish it. What do you mean by grow up? You need to stop watching stuff on TV and allowing it to formulate your thoughts for you.

I don't have to know you. I know them. I just know they would mop your ass. I'd bet big money on it.

That's a bit of a ridiculous analogy. There are laws in place to protect women, non-whites and the disabled. Being a woman, non-white or disabled is not a choice. Getting visible tattoos and having wild hair are choices.

A business where employees have face to face contact with the general public is not likely to lose business because they employed a diverse group of women, non-whites and disabled folks. In fact, they are likely to increase business as a result of that practice.

Hiring someone who looks like a thug (whether they are or not) is likely to cost them business. Not saying it's right or fair, but it is what it is and ultimately it comes down to the choice that person made to look a certain way.

My stepdaughter has several tattoos. When she first approached my wife and I about getting her first tattoo we both told her the same things. Make sure that it is something that you are not likely to regret when you are our age or older and make sure that however many you get, they can all be covered by clothes you would wear to work (she's a nurse) because you will seriously hurt your chances of getting hired with visible tattoos.

She's had some amazing work done and every bit of it can be covered by her nursing scrubs!!
