I second your motion! (But only if you have NO tattoos!)

[evaclay]

Great article, Mike. I appreciate your work, I’m now creating over $35400 dollars each month simply by doing a simple job online! I do know You currently making a (adc-59) lot of greenbacks online from $28000 dollars, its simple online operating jobs

Soon, we will have ZERO freedom left! There will be NO discrimination allowed against ANYONE for ANYTHING that they do, which can not strictly, rationally be firmly PROVEN to cause obvious harm! You will no longer be allowed to discriminate against those who pubically poop, pee, or fuck on or in pubically accessible property (your stores, or even your churches, for examples), so long as said offenders take their byproducts with them afterwards! What harm was done, after all?

PS, if I am working as a sneaker salesman for Nike, helping sell shoes on the showroom floor, can I have tattoos all over my hands and face saying "Fuck Nike" and "Nike Sucks", and so forth, and have my job be protected? How many lawyers will make how much money over this kind of crap?

I’ve made $1250 so far this week working online and I’m a full time student. I’m using an online business opportunity I heard about and I’AM made such great money. It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. Here’s what I do for more information simply.

One of these days I’m going to find the copy of the Employee Handbook I was given when I started in 1985 and find the exact wording, but the sense of one of the guidelines was that employees were expected to act with a certain level of decorum at all times, places and circumstances to protect the reputation and integrity of the organization.

It still strikes me a quite reasonable than an organization can require / prohibit certain acts / images that are in conflict with its primary activities.

But then, I’m a dinosaur.

[SQRLSY One]

Being a dinosaur is fine by me...

Butt I got ya beat! I am a trilobite!

[Fist of Etiquette]

Even MAGA face tattoos?

[Adans smith]

That's crazy talk.

[Eeyore]

We didn't hire him because he is a racist. Had nothing to do with his tattoo.

[m40195971]

Like wearing a thong outside one’s pants, visible tattoos are a sign of poor decision making skills.

[VinniUSMC]

Ok boomer.

[Jerryskids]

I have tattoos on my hands to disguise the fact that, due to a phobia, I haven't washed my hands since 1973. The hospital that I work as a nurse at has no idea.

[R Mac]

Smart.

[mad.casual]

Given 2019 I would expect it to be a case of the City discriminating against someone with a number tattooed on their forearm and the citizen losing the case.

Whoops, meant as reply to Vernon below.

[Vernon Depner]

The first test case will be a guy with Nazi tattoos rejected by a Black or Jewish business.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Yeah, or a couple of rough looking types with face and neck tattoos that enter a shop run by powerful (but vulnerable) womyn.

[R Mac]

I’m going to need to see the rest of that young ladies tattoos before I make a decision on the topic.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Indeed. But decide soon, since in a few months the creep factor might peak.

[Longtobefree]

What a marvelous idea.
Now the hiring process can include a requirement to strip naked so the company can be sure it has seen all possible tattoos to avoid discrimination.

[Longtobefree]

I am reminded of the story of the old woman whose daughter asked "When did you get that tattoo of a Shar-Pei tattooed on your tummy?"
And the woman answered "It was twenty tears ago, and it is Snoopy".

[Quo Usque Tandem]

Don't even get me started about long stem roses...

[Longtobefree]

Or the Master Chief whose destroyer became a battleship?

[Brandybuck]

This is why tramp stamps were invented. So someone could go to the beach and show off their art, but then go to work in business dress and no one would see the art.

[Libertariantranslator]

Self-mutilation is at worst a victimless vice. My dermatologist friends have no objection to people camouflaging melanomas until they develop into yacht payments and Cayman Islands accounts.

[BillBrennan]

Few things say low class like neck tattoos.

[Dillinger]

would offer it's a gender thing but there are no genders

[Stuck in California]

Yeah, I like a woman with neck tattoos. Means she has poor decision making skills, which is very important because I have to convince her to spend time with me.

Also, single moms, smokers, and the one buying a bunch of lottery tickets in front of you at the 7-11.

For a man, neck tattoos are just an employment limiter. Nothing a judge can see was the old rule.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

What if you have a face tattoo that says "unvaccinated"?

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Or "Let's Go Brandon!"?

[Dillinger]

is it 1987?

[Dillinger]

also Waiting on a Friend is a great song.

At least now MS-13 members will be able to get normal jobs.

[Eeyore]

Discrimination based upon jabbed status - totally encouraged.

[Utkonos]

You know who else encouraged a lot of tattooing?

[TheReEncogitationer]

Yup. Which is one more thing that makes Holocaust Denial the ultimate in absurdity.

To accept Holocaust Denial, one would have to assume that millions of observant religious Jews--who have a moral objection to tattoos as a desecration of the body which they regard as a temple--all suddenly agree to scrawl numbers on their arms as some kind of Continent-wide frat boy prank!

And it assumes this universal agreement among a people whose battle-cry is "Two Jews, Three Viewpoints!"

Baron Von Butcher and Chauffeur Creto (assuming they are not one and the same, as I suspect) have some serious 'splaining to do.

[Utkonos]

Are you getting all up in Misek’s Herr again?

[TheReEncogitationer]

I’m not in anything of Misek's and don’t want to be. Like I’ve said before, I’m Pan, but I have standards. ?

I still suspect him and Roadster are one and the same. The writing styles are different. yet some of the subject matter and verbiage are the same.

I guess the true test is seeing them in the same room at the same time…Or on the road in the same Panzer. ?

[m40195971]

While your point is important, tattooing of death camp prisoners wasn’t continent-wide. I learned this today while checking your comment.

Those sent immediately to death didn’t get a number, because the Nazis saw them as worthless.

Only Auschwitz’s living prisoners got numbers. Obviously, most were killed later, but those who lived provided testimony about the practice.

At least, according to this:

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/tattoos-and-numbers-the-system-of-identifying-prisoners-at-auschwitz

[TheReEncogitationer]

All this is true and you taught me something new, for which I am grateful.

Nevertheless, inmates to Auschwitz came from all over the Continent and maintaining a mass deception of people putting numbers on themselves and claiming it was forced upon them would still require a Continent-wide effort.

It would be impossible to maintain the deception because tattooing equipment would have to come from Gentiles, who at that time were brainwashed to hate Jews or who would have a hard time legally interacting with Jews and who in any event would have to be in on the secret.

Meanwhile, after the deed is done, someone would break down, someone could be bribed, an Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi would publicly and loudly denounce the procedure, and the greater the number of people involved, the more likely these would happen.

Also, tattooing equipment would be found in someone’s possession, forensic evidence from dumpster-diving and blood stains would reveal underground tattooing facilities, someone could get an infection from unclean facilities and have to reveal to a Doctor what happened.

In other words, a whole string of antecedents and consequences surrounding just this one deception make the deception impossible.

Holocaust Deniers just don’t think these things through when they spout their brazen irrationality. Then again, rational thought is not their strong suit.

serious question..... when was the last time anyone was TOLD they were not hired because they had a tattoo? how is anyone ever going to prove they were discriminated for this?

in my experience, the kind of person who chooses to get a neck tattoo frequently has personality traits that an interviewer could point to as reasons they are not a fit.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

serious question….. when was the last time anyone was TOLD they were not hired because they had a tattoo? how is anyone ever going to prove they were discriminated for this?

There are private companies which have written policies which declare tattoos are not allowed.

[gah87]

But can I discriminate in favor of tattoos? Can I have a company policy requiring tattoos?

[TheReEncogitationer]

I have no Biblical-based (forbidden in Leviticus 19:28) or morally-based objections to tattoos, I just thinks it's dumb to have body decoration that you can't easily switch up whenever you want.

If body decoration is your thing, why not use Henna or Mehndi or printable temporary tattoo media, so you're not stuck with it forever? (This is especially good advice in the Fishbowl World/Surveillance State/X-Felonies-A-Day world we live in now.)

As for New York City's proposed ban on anti-tattoo discrimination, this is confirmation that The Big Apple is just an intact peel and the maggots have consumed the entire inside.

[John C. Randolph]

One more reason to rule out doing business in NYC.

If you want to sport face tats like carnie trash, that's your prerogative, but I don't want to see it in my office.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Were soccer moms unemployable in New York before this law?

[mahayojnaa]

Getting a tattoo on the body is a personal matter for everyone, but many people like to get tattoos on the body
