So far, theres no real luck, which isn't suprising since this is the south where conservative views overshadow human rights.
Having long hair isn't exactly a human right.
Thats like saying getting a piercing or tattoo isn't a human right. Anything I do that isn't causing harm to anyone else is my right. If a business decides that they don't want to hire me based on that, they are conforming to their (conservative) view of what one of their employees should look like, which is also their right. I never said they were wrong for doing it, I was simply stating facts. Although I may or may not agree with it.

How about expanding on that a tad instead of offering one liners?

I could ask you to do the same. How is any of the above a right? Where are you guaranteed access to a job regardless of your looks? Human rights are basic freedoms like access to food and water and protection from persecution. Piercings, tattoos, and long hair are all luxuries and have nothing to do with true human rights.

Alright well if we lived in communism that would be the case. A luxury is like driving a car on public roads, which can be taken away from you. Getting a tattoo or piercing is my body, I have ultimate control over my body. If I wanted to tattoo my face theres nothing anyone could do about it, it's my right.

You have the ability, not the right. I'm done arguing.

So it's not my right to get a tattoo on my body? Okay. Well I suppose you can show me what law I am breaking? Your point is null and void.

I agree here!

My boyfriend had to cut off his long hair and beard for the police. The 2 months leading up to the hair cut, he was so fucking stressed out over it. He looks like a skinhead now though so I guess it's still 'metal-ish' :lol:
They had you do a drug test and the forgot to test for drugs???

Yeah it seems like usually people have really long hair or are almost bald in metal
