u're so correct

Billyonaire:
This timid generation of humans do not recognize tattoo as a creative body art that it is. They just harbour stupid biased convinction that tattoo must be bad without asking themselves if Body art is what commits crime.

You wrote the above about "NIGERIANS". In no way did I "FORCE" you to CLASSIFY Nigerians as the above quote. So what are you saying below?!
  


TO BE VERY HONEST WITH YOU, YOU SEEM TO BE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO GROW MENTALLY. YOU ARE RUNNING IN CIRCLES!!!

"When you’re wrong, you’re wrong, no matter how famous and respected
intellectually endowed you might be . Albert Einstein was wrong about quantum mechanics. Linus Pauling was wrong about the structure of DNA. And Milton Friedman was wrong about the permanent income hypothesis."

It is not about who is right but WHAT IS RIGHT. The former is nothing but puffed up pride which makes people to argue blindly. We grow if we are ready to accept our misconceptions and correct them. THAT IS GROWTH and that is what distinguishes the WISE from the UNWISE.

Billyonaire:
You are stating your opinion, which mirrors the same reason this guy isnt getting a job. It is that opinionated mindset that I address, so what is the point emphasizing my point as opposing to the 'norm' ? The rational thing to do, is Listen to us who have contrary opinions, may be it is our own understanding of issues that holds the key to evening the odds in the world today.

I have a close friend who lost a mum at tender age, he has his mother's name tattooed on him and he is passionate about the memory, he does not even go to club needless to say become a vice, so if he was the job seeking type, the ignorant public perception of tattoo will become an opinion for a company to form a mission statement and refuse to hire him just because of an artwork on his hand that he holds dear to his heart.

I constantly ponder a mind pattern that judges people based on their outward appearance instead of their contents of character.

Nigerians refuse to read, hence they have refused to grow mentally, which is why we end up with idiots in politics and other areas of life.

Who ever begins to respect dissent view will witness a new lease of life.

Thou shalt not make any markings on your body the Bible says. Many people take these words for a joke.

Well, let him apply for jobs in club houses and brothels.

Will he enrol his children in a school whose male head teacher uses earrings and has tattoo on his neck.

Or allow a male surgeon with tattoo on his neck to operate on his wife.

There's no need for this diatribe. Putting a tattoo on the neck is not acceptable in a corporate environment. It's as simple as that. Of course, the memory of his grand parent should be respected.
There are other less conspicuous parts he could have put tge tattoo and not the neck. I guess there are jobs that wouldn't mind such tattoos. He can be an IT professional, or field engineer, etc.
Corporate environments have ethics.

Meet Job Hunter Who Got 30 Interviews But Was Rejected Because Of His Neck Tatto
Full story - https://www.veeinsider.com/news/job-hunter-says-he-cant-get-a-job/


A job hunter who has attended over 30 interviews says he has been unfairly discriminated against because of his neck tattoo dedicated to his late grandfather.

Joe Parsons, 21, got the £250 six-inch tattoo last November in memory of his late grandfather Thomas, who died in a care home aged 63 last year.

He got the £250 tattoo while he was working in a factory.

Joe claims that he had no problem getting around 30 interviews, but he has never managed to get a job.

He says he’s tried to....

Makes no sense if a business will alter his corporate culture which is supposed to be people-centered to vested interest centered, such businesses are the corporate macrocosm of the myopic individuals who think tattoo culture is a vice.

It does not matter which entity is stupid, I know some individuals are stupid, but corporations are entities too, so corporations are as smart as the minds running them, so if a bunch of ignorant punks with a lot of money in their pockets set up a for-profit organization and change their corporate responsibilities because of vested interest of others who out of THEIR IGNORANCE chastise innocent citizens with body arts and tattoos, it still does not make your argument worth this analogy. I am just stating the obvious and if you are interested in seeing my point of view, then there is no reason you shouldnt see the point. But the ego is our common denominator, and I can see we are doing just fine.

I am hopeful that some day, you all will not only evaluate an opinion but stand up for something, and I hope it be something worth your IQs.
But for me, Billyonaire, I will continue to judge people based on their content of character and not just dismiss them because of an inbuilt ignorant belief that those with tattoos are criminals. That is what this argument is about. We must address that ignorance on the part of individuals or corporate entities to make a head way.

I rest this case (for now)

@Billyonaire,did you see my pointer to the fact that the management of these companies/businesses may not have hired him because of the nature of their businesses and the fact that they must be conservative because they service the public...more like there are members of the public like you who may not frown at it but there may also be other client who may be disturbed by the overall visual of the tattoo...now that is isolating some customers,like a put off which relatively is bad for business.They are opened to cater to their clients not uphold the memory of a prospective employee's relative...get my drift?Now what has 9j people and reading got to do with it?mind you this was not in Nigeria,btw if there are discerning people and you have idiots like you attest in politics or wherever heading it over people like you,does that not make your likes (whatever that means) bigger idiots?its a diverse world.There are places his diversity will be appreciated,definitely not in the board room or with kids etc

were is it in the bible??

Jaideyone:
thank God I'm not the only one that thinks the guys comment is foolish. he doesn't even know the meaning of the word timid. who in his right senses will want someone with such ridiculous neck tattoo in a cooperate organisation? can. any sane manager send this kind of guy to give a presentation on behalf of his company?

What a come back that was! Was actually writing a response to the gentleman and then you posted this and you echoed all my thoughts. Kudos.

I actually clicked the link to read the whole story for myself and I honestly didn't come across where it says that this guy, Joe Parson with TATTOO ON HIS NECK ever hunted for jobs in Nigeria to start with, hence where did the "NIGERIANS HAVE REFUSED TO GROW MENTALLY" come from if it is his fellow country men in Europe or America that keep turning him down any where he goes to hunt for jobs. Perhaps they are the ones who FIRSTLY NEED TO GROW UP and then Nigerians will emulate them. I presume it happened in England judging by the currency. Shall we then say THEY HAVE REFUSED TO READ TOO and that they are a bunch of "IDIOTS".?

I bet you if this same guy job hunts in Nigeria, he is MOST LIKELY going to get a very LUCRATIVE JOB because he is WHITE and the tattoo on his neck won't even be a barrier as long as he knows what he is doing,even if he doesn't, he will still be given a chance because the BLACK MAN sees the WHITE MAN as a GOD to be adored, this one with a tattoo on his neck may even for that reason earn him greater WORSHIP. While you treat the WHITE MAN like a GOD. The WHITE man mostly treats the BLACK MAN like a DOG. Yet, it still boils down to ***REPUTATION of BLACKS who are mostly not proud and happy with the color of their skin and who they are. Hence, INFERIORITY COMPLEX and you are treated less than a human being.

I asterix ***REPUTATION so as to bring a point home. Tattoos are mostly inscribed by TAOUTS, RASCALS, GANG STARS, CRIMINALS,people who dem to be DANGEROUS who take drugs. That is the REPUTATION of tattoo. Its not inscribed by serious minded people. You don't find Bill Gate or Bill Clinton.......................... with tattoo and even if at all they would it WON'T BE ON THEIR NECK. This guy's tattoo on his neck to start with is very ABNORMAL. No NORMAL PERSON will want to see beyond that tattoo to the content of his character. For tattoo already carries a REPUTATION not so good and this one is even on his neck.

As to content of character, Martin Luther King , Jr. Once said . "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character".

Martin's emphasis was color of the skin, which is not your own making, a natural phenomenon. But tattoo is an artificial inscription and mind you this guy is being DISCRIMINATED against most obviously by people of same color skin as his.

I as well agree with the old wise saying: DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER but then, there are limits to every thing. TATTOO ON THE NECK IS VERY ABNORMAL. IF FACT WHERE EVER HE GOES HUNTING FOR JOB, THAT TATTOO ON HIS NECK MAKES THEM SEE HIM AS AN ABNORMAL PERSON. Where it be tattoo on his hands, I honestly doubt if it will at all pose a challenge.

Even Donald Trump, who mingled very much with wrestlers will not in his RIGHT SENSES say since that now being the President of America, he should carry a tattoo, THE AMERICAN FLAG and on his neck to show how much he loves America. THAT WILL BE AKWARD. What I don't understand is why people start doing S!LLY things when someone dies. Tieing their life to the dead and in jeopardy. I DONT REALLY THINK HE LOVES HIS GRAND PA ENOUGH. ELSE HE SHOULD HAVE TATTOOED HIS FORE-HEAD INSTEAD OF HIS NECK.

See tattoo. It depends on the nature of the job sha.
Crazy hackers have worse tattoos. Ask Eugene Kaspersky.

Everybody, including you judges by outward appearances, without such
prejudgement, we can't function normally as we would be preoccupied with
analysing noises instead of solving real problems. If you have left your home
this morning, you have screened at least one person based on appearance
alone.


This is fallacious, growing mentally has nothing to do with accepting deviants.


This is false, any view that is currently not tolerated and accepted can be said to be
dissenting. Such views include those that may be harmful, dangerous and
self-sabotaging. A view does not magically become valuable because it is dissenting.

When a person chooses a non-popular path, they should be ready for the accompanying
backlash because actions have consequences.
