Fired for not wearing make-up

[karrie]

Quite right, toxins travel UP the food chain and normal metabolisms can't get rid of a disturbingly high amount of them..

I'm a fibromyalgia sufferer. I've become 'painfully' aware of the presence of toxins in the food chain. Disturbing doesn't even cover it.

I hadn't forgotten.

Makeup can age a person and damage the skin...unless of course it's worn lightly. IMO, women should have confidence in their actual appearance without the stuff. If there are skin problems and can't be controlled with food intake, cleansers or medication, then perhaps if a person decides they want to use it to appear better looking, sure. It's an individual choice and should be accepted that way.
Today, looks are emphasized so much that all women and young girls are stressing to fit into society. True and natural beauty is becomming a thing of the past. I think the ex-waitress has beauty that shows without her having to put on makeup.

I agree that English evolves much like any other language. But, basically what Joe's saying is that the language that Ronny Rapper uses is just as much properly used English as that used by Eddie English Professor. He's wrong.

Gilbert, the operative word here is ‘properly used’. Who decides if it is properly used or not? Proper use is very subjective. Experts may say one thing, but daily usage may say something different.

So the language of Ronny Ropper (by that I assume you mean Ebonics) is as proper in some circumstances as that used by the English professor. If the English professor goes to the hood for some reason and wants to make himself understood, he will be better off using Ebonics rather than use Queen’s English.

lol. I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh at this. As Cannuck so eloquently points out, the fact that you equate 'dark skinned' with 'as dark as they come' proves that you have no clue about the nuances about speech.

Grammar aside, MEANING seems lost upon you Jo.

You seem to be hung up on that phrase. In my opinion, the two mean essentially the same thing, the phrase I used (as dark as they come) is just more colorful, more vivid and carries more punch. Anyway, let us agree to disagree on that.

The question here is not whether make up is good or not. The question is whether an employer can require the employees to wear the make up. If there are any medical issues involved (skin problems, allergies etc.) I assume the employer would have to consider it.

And let us say that a woman never wore make up in her life, starts wearing as a result of the requirement and later develops allergies. She may have an excellent lawsuit against the employer.

But again, the question is not whether it is a foolish policy (it may very well be), the question is, does employer have a right to institute such a policy? Courts say that they do. And considering the fact that employers are given a great degree of latitude in how to run their businesses, the court decision is not all that surprising.

Your grammar is atrocious. It's been pointed out before and, no doubt, will be pointed out again.

I think S.J. writes as well if not a little better than the average poster. I generally have no problem understanding what he says. Probably better at understanding than agreeing. :lol::lol::lol:

Eloquent? Damn it!!! My gutter mouth troll skills must be slipping.

I have no problem understanding what he says either. The only person that seems to have a problem comprehending what he says is SJP.

If I had an opinion, I would agree with you, but I'm don't have an opinion on this subject.

 

[JLM]

If I had an opinion, I would agree with you, but I'm don't have an opinion on this subject.

That's the spirit- on the other hand we have a few posters on here who don't have much of an opinion either until they see the other person's opinion then decide to disagree.

This is what happens when you live in a world of TV driven FASCION. I hope you don't mind the me posting the true spelling of fashion.

 

[TenPenny]

Spell 'fashion' in whatever fashion you desire.

 

[petros]

I shall and I'll continue to point out hidden aspects of social duality.

 

[Sublime]

She's hot without make up, I'd pound her...but I can only speak for myself.

Yep, the whole world is going nuts. This fashion bullsh*t has gotten right out of hand. Years ago I was visiting my sister and when I hung my coat in the closet I notice all the shoes she had so I counted them- there was over 40 pairs - for what I couldn't imagine. My mother, when we were growing up had four pairs, walking shoes, slippers, sneakers and rubber boots. So that shows you how crazy it got in just one generation.

 

[Risus]

Risus, I have never been to Hooters, but I understand they are doing very well, I assume because of the revealing costumes by the waiters and the waitresses. I expect people go there to look at the staff, not to eat the food.

I must admit you are right because it certainly isn't because of the food....

These are mostly Trolls, JLM. They have nothing to contribute to the debate. When somebody makes some contribution, they disagree with them in the most insulting, most offensive manner possible. Their purpose is not to provoke debate (which would be admirable), but to provoke a food fight, mud slinging, with insults flying back and forth, with the original purpose of the post (or the thread) forgotten.

The most charitable action a poster may take with such Trolls is to ignore them (or put them on ignore).

You really are funny. An expert could say, "This item is made of iron" and what you are saying is that if you say, "That item is made of calcium", it's just as valid. Hilarious. IOW, to you, experts are no different than laymen in whichever field the experts' fields of study are. roflmao

.......... and quite ambiguous.
