@MN5 That whole oh yeah we got wasted on homebrew made of fermented apples, sugar and bread. In their cell.
Colour me shocked he has convictions for dishonesty.
There's plenty of people without facial tatts and violent criminal records who do it tough on the job front so personally my sympathy is somewhere between shit and syphalis in the dictionary in this particular case.
he mentions scaffolding as a job , as a trade they seem to have a high percentage of people with a vast array of feral throat / face Tatts so he might find a job there. It's not an easy job though, they won't be shy about letting him know if he's a lazy little shit .
-
Thing is also, it's really easy to blame the facial tatt rather than a serious attitude problem. Plenty of big guys with tatts have jobs. If I was an employer (depending on field, naturally) I'd be looking at character and history and skillset first. A young guy with a punk attitude, long criminal history including dishonesty and aggravated robbery, jail stretch, wouldn't be high on my list of potential hires. I'd also be really wary of a couple who have had a kid taken into social services custody. They don't do that lightly.
-
musta been a mean az tatt sesh to get that done in one hit while pissed.
In the job I do, I'd not get any I cant cover with a t-shirt, that said, a guy higher up the chain than me had a sleeve midway down his forearm.
As above, attitude has alot to do with it too.
I always laugh when I think about a sports shop I used to work in, back in the days when WINZ (or whatever they called themselves in the 20th century) used to give people on the dole a sheet for them to take around to potential employers to prove they have been searching for work...
Lost count of the time I heard someone come into the shop, stop by the door and call out to me:
DB - Hey bro, got a job?
Me - Nope
DB - sign this then
Me - Nope
DB - But you have to, so I can get the dole
Me - but you didnt apply for a job. Give me a copy of your CV and I'll sign it.Responses from here ranged from: I dont have a CV, Stink fulla, what a piston wristed gibbon to just walking out, none of these 'drop ins' ever actually gave thier CV

@jegga You do have to admire that an editor has managed to encapsulate the entire story in the headline.

apparently a gender equality group is calling for there to be gender neutral stores, so people are not confined to shopping for boys clothes for their boy and girls for their girl....
Was on Breakfast this morning, Hilary Barry at least thought it was pathetic, as did all on the show bar Jack Tame, who the others pointed out doesn't even have kids, seemed about 80% of viewers agreed...

Or one could simply buy whatever they wanted in normal stores and not be hamstrung by notions of gender based clothes.

@antipodean if there is a market for such then someone will start a business

@booboo or any parents who are that concerned with their child being gender neutral should encourage their boy to wear sparkly pink dresses and their girl blue tee's with rocket ships on it, or maybe just buy white stuff?
I mean aren't we now being colourist, how do we know pink wants to be a girls colour. maybe it wasn't to be a boy colour but genderists have assigned it as a girl colour?
-
I hope the people pushing this bullshit realise that the second their child walks into Day Care or School they will have their gender "assigned" by the other kids. We never specifically taught our boy how to tell girls and boys apart, it's something that comes naturally to everyone. But people pushing this crap don't like that thing called "reality", it gets in the way of their narrative.

Only since 1927 apparently.

There was this doco on tv some years ago regarding the nature vs nuture thing
Some poor guy in the 70s had his cock burned to a crisp as a newborn. Think it was a circumsison gone wrong
Anyway this looney dr decided it was a chance to see if he could be raised as a she. The mom was in on it too.
Fair to say it didn't do well, she/he was fucked up big time. Didn't like playing with dolls wearing dresses etc
In the end commited suicide sometime in his/her 20's -

In the end commited suicide sometime in his/her 20'sThe shrink that said it was a good idea to raise Reimer as a girl was a kiwi, Reimer killed himself around the same time Money opened an art gallery in his home town I think. The press were pretty merciless at the time, they asked him about the suicide when he thought they were going to ask about art. Not sure what they'd do now though.
