if you want to have a tattoo that is your choice but don’t imagine that you get to decide to whom it is offensive.

You have summed up the state of our culture in general.

Via a young relative, I perused a facebook page of tattoo oriented people. It was a non stop whine-fest about how unfair and biased employers were in expecting their employees to meet their appearance standards. Appearance standards which are essentially dictated by the customers/clients of the employer. IOW, those that keep the employer in business.

So, I'm expected to put a pierced and tattooed girl in the front office of my business that services a clientele who find said girl's appearance offense and likely take their business elsewhere. That makes *me* biased and intolerant. But the tattooed covered girl with the ring in her nose, who expects me to lose money on her behalf, is the epitome of tolerance. Nuts.

Yes nuts, there have always been some but we now seem to have a real bumper crop of nuts of all kinds. I knew a man about thirty years ago who ran a small print shop and I used to service his equipment. He also sold advertising specialty items and he had a woman selling for him on commission. She was paid 25% of gross revenue on all her sales. He let her go finally and said that the reason was that she came to him and said that she thought she should get 50% of the gross. He replied to her that he PAID 50% for the items, if she got the other half there would be nothing left for him. He asked her where she thought he would get the money for rent, utilities etc. I still can’t believe the idiocy but he swore that her reply was, “That’s your problem, use your own money for that.” Some people should not be allowed on the street unescorted.
