Today At Staples.

Let me rephrase it then

People who are freaks usually don't dress "normally".
Is that any better? If anything I think it's worse.

Since when did this get personal, as far as I'm concerned this is two
people discussing their veiws and not a tit for tat battle which you
seem to see it as.
If I said I don't dress "normally" would that make my point any more
or less valid?

Edit: I've probably taken this too far, but my points still stand.
 
hey i was simply trying to work out why you would want to pick out that one tiny detail from <><>'s post and discuss it to death.

Danny this never got 'personal' I'm actually enjoying this although it is about focusing on a detail...

Yes I think when you say "freaks don't dress normally" it means a whole different thing. It's your opinion on how freaks dress and does not imply an inherrent bias or dislike against people who dress out of the norm. It's just an observation you are making about the people that you consider freaks. And I have nothing to say about that.

I might say I have seen freaks that dress very normally and you might say you've seen idiots dressed up like the mad professor, it would just add some more flavor to the idot/freak mix but not change the point of the original discussion.
 
Germany's still got it:

"A German man who taught his dog Adolf to give a Hitler salute by raising his right paw has been charged with violating Germany's anti-Nazi laws, a Berlin court said on October 15, 2003. Police investigated after members of the public complained they had seen the man giving the stiff-arm 'Hitler salute' and telling his dog: 'Adolf sit, give me the salute!,' a court spokeswoman said. The man and his dog pose for photographers in Berlin Wednesday. (Tobias Schwarz/Reuters)"

Being a Nazi in America is a constitutionally-protected right. Employers as big as Staples can't afford to discriminate based on political preferences or they'd have the ACLU so far up their asses they'd be blowing their noses with lawsuits. Check it out, the ACLU defended a Neo-Nazi in Chicago in the 70' or 80's, I distinctly remember watching a film on it in Government or 20th Century U.S. History back in high school.
 
I live in Canada. Im pretty sure theres different laws when dealing with Nazis. Im almost sure we dont tolerate it.

But still If you were the manager of a Staples (in the US or Canada) and you saw three equally qualified people to employ, but one had a swastika on there hand....doesnt that lead you to not choose that person?
 
Which, after being rejected by enough employers despite being evidently capable of the task would lead the person to seek legal counsel. And I'm pretty sure that Nazism is legal in just about all western countries except of course Germany. Not to mention the fact that Staples in Canadia probably follows the same company policies as Staples in the U.S.
 
Ive never heard of a Nazi sue anyone because they were rejected for their 'beliefs'.

Hmm, maybe I should research this.
 
apalled that they can sue?

although i don't agree with them... i guess it is their right...
 
Nazism is also not tolerated in the rest of Europe. You cannot have a Nazi rally in France, England, Spain, Italy or any other CE country for that matter.

The US does have some cooky laws about 'the right to assemble peacefully' and 'free speech'
