ahh,, sometimes those lines are hard to draw, but still need to be drawn all the same

I think a good rule of thumb would be(and I think is) if you are at all subsidized by government money(taxpayers) or participate in paying taxes that the whole community pays,, your business should be making a REASONABLE attempt to represent those taxpayers who are helping you exist(either directly or indirectly), particularly in those areas where people have no option such as race and gender.
Well, that's a valid point for sure.

But then (playing devil's advaocate again here) supposing you own the largest company (measured in number of employees) in a rural southern community where racial discrimination is the norm. The combined takes paid by you, your company and your employees represents the majority of the taxes paid in the entire community. And if you and all the employees are racists, then racism would be representataive of those taxpayers who are helping you exist. So by not being racist, you would fact not be representing those taxpayers.

I decided that I had a different response I wanted to express and it's decidedly subjective in nature so you should like hearing it from me:
The American majority is Christian. Does this mean that it's ok and important for companies in America to give preferential treatment to Christian employees? That they should make sure nobody outside of the religion gets better than minimum wage employment, if that?

Sure the Bible doesn't say "thoust should make life difficult for thine neighbor if he wilst not adopt thy religious beliefs" but you know that's basically part of the belief of everyone very concerned with their religion and it's obvious which ones would go to the polls if we were voting on giving more power to (their) religion.

Honestly, I doubt any reasonable employer would discriminate against an amazing employee -- marvelous skills, thorough knowledge, etc. -- who can multiply the employer's profits 10-fold!!!



A candidate would have to be hired before an employer could really determine those things. There are those with the bigotry to deny some the chance to ever show how 'marvelous' they are.

That's why candidates bring their resumes and letters of referrence -- making it easy for an employer making her/his mind up!

The public image is of paramount importance for companies that deal with the public! Thus, if a candidate for a bank job arrives for the interview wearing jeans, an employer has every right to reject that particular candidate!
But is it ok to reject a candidate if they show up to the interview without a penis?

In one of the European contries -- Sweden, I think -- women are paid a salary to raise children!
That's what I call Respect!!!


That's happening in my home country, Hungary as well. Women get 3/4 of their regular salary tax-free for three years after each child birth.

The birth rate is still negative.

The country is trying to do its best to increase the birthrate with the extreme financial help. The government is bending over backward, but they're missing the point: they should bend the women over forward, and bang, problem solved.
Well you could take up the American practice of abstinence only (ok, just parts of America) sex education and have the parents get upset if their kids are even shown medical diagrams to learn their basic anatomy. If they don't know what contraceptives are and all authority rejects them having any sex they'll pretty much just do it in secret and ignorance, ya?

But is it ok to reject a candidate if
they show up to the interview without a penis? <-- that

JaneStar: LOL! Personally, I practice "that" showing up to every interview! laugh As long as my other credentials are O'K, that SMALL shortcomming is usually overlooked!!! But, if the job requirements stipulate the necessity of having a "that" -- not to mention "of certain dimentions" -- then I doubt I'd ever apply for that job -- nevermind showing up for the interview and presenting the proof... laugh

But clearly it would be taking away our freedom if people couldn't reject you for the reason...

Naw, I'm just not feelin it.

You know, I grow fatigued when people speak of the freedom -- as if it is their God's given right!

The only freedom we have is Observing/Not breaking the Law!!!
