Don't you bother to read the rules of boards you frequent? This is a theology board, doesn't it make sense that there would be language restrictions? :doh:
No, it's not unethical. I am an independant businessman with the freedom to hire anyone I choose.
Jay, you are quite welcome to take out an ad and word it anyway you choose, I'm not hindering you in the least.
Actually, I almost never mention typos, everybody has them. But yours was too ironic to pass up. :chuckle:
I'm as afraid of an ad as I am afraid of you. :yawn:
You seem to excel at missing the point which is: I have the freedom to hire any person I choose. I also have the freedom to not hire any person I choose.
:sozo: That's the Point! :bang:
:darwinsm:
Equating me with the mafia is ridiculous. You are grasping at straws now, commie.
Let me know when you evolve enough intelligence to understand freedom without the need for a nanny government to impose restrictions upon it.
Perhaps you'd like to direct me to that post, then. The one where you explain the specific dogma you accuse me of subscribing to?
See, now that was funny!
Not hardly! :banana:
OK, let's try this from another perspective.
Jay, do you believe the government has the authority to tell private business owners who they can and cannot hire? [assuming that person is a legal resident]
If you believe they have that authority, do you agree that they should legislate accordingly?
You have already conceded that there are certain jobs which are less suited for women. You have also conceded that there are times when a business can use race as a determiner for hiring someone. If you already agree with these points, where then do you draw the line?
If I interview 10 people, all of whom have equal skills and credentials pertaining to the job opening, how do I determine which one of them I will hire? Remember, they will be a representative of my company.
What if one of them is an ex-con?
What if another has long, unkempt hair.
Another has poor English skills.
Another has body odor.
Another has a 'Kerry/Edwards' sticker on his truck.
Another seems nervous and won't look me in the eye when we talk.
Another drives a beat up truck.
Another listens to loud rap music in his truck.
Another talks too much.
Another is a veteran.
Three of them have a poor credit rating.
Four of them are single.
One of them is a weekend musician.
One is a Muslim.
Three of them are Christians.
One is a Jew.
Eight are Caucasian and two are Black.
Are any or all of these 'qualities' something I should consider when making my decision?
