by good reason you mean "my parents don't live there" right? Because I have a feeling you aren't in a position to choose where you live right now.
[QUOTE=Malumbre;18120374]I don't live in the US and for good reason.[/QUOTE]
Then why are you arguing about what they should do? Shouldn't you be happy with your country? I am with mine (also not Usa).
Personally I enjoy things in France, so that's why i've lived there alot (not right now, the job market is awful there)

Do you know why muslim women wear headscarves?
(It's the same reason why christian women wear shirts)
I demand the right to wear a condom to work without anyone knowing it.
Wait, I can do that.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;18120309]They don't care about her religion. They want the scarf off because there's a no-headwear policy, not because she's a muslim.[/QUOTE]
Well they need to realise that their policy is unfair
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;18120335]calling someone with dumb opinions dumb isn't discrimination.[/QUOTE]
And I say making a person conform to the dress code in a work place like [i]everyone else[/i] regardless of their dumb fictional lifestyle isn't discrimination.

I agree- also, are you British? I find, and I may be wrong, that often British people are surprisingly tolerant.
Also, considering your avatar, what do you make of Malumbre's militant atheism?

I don't live with my parents. Nice try, bud.

It's irelevant to the clinic why she wears it. Only that she does, and it's against policy.
[QUOTE=Malumbre;18120452]And I say making a person conform to the dress code in a work place like [i]everyone else[/i] regardless of their dumb fictional lifestyle isn't discrimination.[/QUOTE]
Whether you think their lifestyle is dumb and fictional or not doesn't matter
What with that crazy thing called freedom of expression and all

Exactly.

Well, I have the freedom to express my opinion, don't I? I'm not the one preventing her from getting a job, I'm just speaking my mind on the issue.

Well yes
But you're arguing that she shouldn't be allowed to wear a head scarf because it conflicts with your beliefs

Haha, fair enough, fail on my part.
Would be interested to see how views are in different countries, Britain being pretty much against this kind of discrimination, and the French government enshrining this approach in law.

Freedom of speech, press, and religion. These are values that I keep close to my heart always.
You don't know how lucky and happy I feel to be American. I can believe whatever I want here, and I can do it openly. I won't get lynched or hanged for it. I can say my opinions without fear of death.
America is an amazing country. I can go on for hours talking about how the American revolution flew in the face of everything that came before it.
damn frenchies
[QUOTE=James*;18120586]Well yes

No, it conflicts with the dress code of the place she's applying to.

Well, I feel happy to be European, in any case, to be part of a western democracy I guess.
And you shouldn't forget the British contribution to democracy!

and he's using the same freedom to express [i]his[/i] opinion
his opinion being that your opinion is dumb
seriously, I hate that "well I have freedom of speech, so I can espouse whatever bullshit ideology I have without getting criticized for it" argument
You have freedom of speech. You do not have freedom to not be called dumb as hell when you use your freedom of speech to say something that is dumb as hell.
