"However, she hadn't reckoned on discriminating against a wholly different section of the community - the completely useless."

Oh well, at least they don't elect them like we do here...:rolleyes:

they could get sued for being dicriminatory against unreliable people.

That's so stupid, there's really no words. I guess Britian is a great place only if you're useless and unreliable. Britian must be pure hell for anyone with an IQ above 20

She also had to fight to get "must speak English" in the ad, cause that was considered discriminatory too. Only reason they let that in was cause they were dealing with hazardous materials

Please tell me this is a fake news site and not real news. Please let it be a parody! Please tell me "people in charge" aren't that moronic. [insert crying emoticon]

(the news site misspelled discriminatory, not me

Oh maybe its a fake news site afterall )

On second thought...maybe there should be illegal to discriminate against useless people here. All the useless people could get rich by suing

Thanks

I don't think it is a joke. Here is the original UK article:

Employer told they can't advertise for 'reliable' workers... because it discriminates against 'unreliable applicants | Mail Online

This will be taken further.

You can most certainly disagree with anyone but your post sounds threatening.

May I suggest that you tone it down a little as this is a friendly place. By the way, to whom are you reporting this? The people who made the idiotic decision about the ad?

Oh wah boo hoo. Go cry me a river. Did your hypersensitive ego get a boo boo and you think I care? Guess what? There is no law here about offending big cry babys. So go cry about that too while you're at it.

Oh and you just now joined the forum so you must not know this, but the mods don't give a rats a$$ about your opinion or your hypersensitive ego with a boo boo. Go report this to your Mommy. And I don't believe you have a decent IQ for a minute because intelligent people never have to brag about it, plus if you have any sense you'd realize that no one is going to console cause you're all upset people in Britian don't like to offend the useless. On the internet, it's okay to offend the useless.

I agree Ron, but there's really no one he can report it to besides his Mother. You've been around long enough to know the mods don't care about petty stuff. Especially by a brand new person, potential troll. He'll just have to wait until something else comes along to hurt his feelings. Which shouldn't take long.

I didn't think so either Ron, was just hoping for the sake of hoping

I know the world is overpopulated with idiots, but to think they actually make rules and laws is so scary and depressing

Yep the UK is going funny. Layabouts, criminals, immigrants have the most rights and are looked after the best. We pay for it. But do not worry my US friends I can see the same thing happening over there now.. :-(

Welcome to the world of the u.s. citizen.

a place where illegal immigrants have rights when they arent even citizens, where we apologize to our enemies for maybe being mean to them while at war and where criminals can sidestep the death penalty by being too fat to die painlessly.

Yeah, GIVE ME A BREAK! Although I don't think the U.S. says it so clearly as the U.K. supposedly does, according to that article, the U.S. DOES do PRECISELY the same thing.

Some are even heavily rewarded for it. A sane person of at least average intelligence gets coffee at mcdonalds, and must pay for it. An idiot goes through and ends up getting a judgement of MILLIONS, though some sanity prevailed and it was lowered to a less ridiculous amount.

And to have a HOTEL in the U.S. where nobody even knows what a bandaid or a bandage is!?!?!? GEE, I was only paying them about $6000 a month, I guess I can't expect them to know what a bandage or bandaid is, huh? I had to hurry, IN EXTREME PAIN to get to the gift shop that I just HAPPENED to know had bandaids(though they told me they didn't know what they were), before they closed. The package said they were BANDAIDS.

And do they worry so much about killing pets? I mean supposedly we are supposed to be good to PETS also, but orphans are only kept so long. And where was the sympathy for me when I was in PAIN, could barely walk, was BLEEDING, and was PLEADING for a bandaid, that I would pay a PREMIUM for?

I just saw this thread and read the article. Wow. That is so ridiculous. I'm guessing the bureaucrat who made that choice did so because they felt personally discriminated against as a clearly incompetent person.
