Hypocrisy pisses me off

[Poker_Babe]

So the other day, I find out that the truancy officer that works at my kid's high school used to be a male stripper. It's pretty common knowledge at the school. Now if that where anybody but an "officer" that had a history working in adult entertainment, I think we can all agree that person wouldn't be working at the school.
What say you?

Apparently the school's either oblivious or they don't care. In both cases, yay for the truancy officer for having a "normal" job that shouldn't leave him with dirty looks and prejudice. Because I might hate hypocrisy, too, but what I hate more is prejudice and not giving people a chance because you're too judgmental to look past things like these.

Hmmm. I really think it really depends on more of a gender thing to be quite honest. Because it's a male, I think a lot of people turn a blind eye most of the time. (Now if he was working at a Catholic/Private school, that may be a different story).
Females would probably never get hired or immediately get the boot.

I don't know if that's true. There is a general mistrust of male sexuality in our culture, especially when kids are involved.

not to say that there is not things like this happening everywhere because I believe that there is but I think it depends where exactly you're at to determine how seriously they take these things because in high school I had a teacher who was very open and honest about the fact that she had stripped and done amateur pornography to put herself through college to become a teacher and it was never an issue

 

[RubyDimples]

there you go with gender equality...with the sex industry.....lol

A few girls at Uni when I was there stripped for their income. Very flexible hours and good money. One said it was very normal to see piles of text books on all the desks in the dressing room.

Is this hipocrisy? No, its showing that the attitude of the parent generation is changing.

 

[SexySteph]

Unless you can show an example of a woman who applied at this school for a job and was declined due to a history of sex-work I don't think you can really call hypocrisy. I'd call it surprising and awesome that someone with a sex work history was able to get a job at a school, but, without there actually being hypocrisy taking place can you really call it that?

Stripping during university is one thing. Getting a job after university where having stripped has a chance of ruining your career, or, worse, leaving you open to harassment, be it sexual or of some other kind, by your colleagues, is another.

It doesn't take a majority to raise an objection and get someone fired. All it takes is one (1).

No here that I have noticed anyway, Indians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Australians and strays from all over the place make up our workforce. There are practically no Christians of any flavour to sprout crap about morals, the closest is English people and we just tell them to fuck off. People may not agree with what they did, but the ones from overseas are nearly all parents and would do anything for their kids, so they understand to make a future when you actually have to catch a husband as well.

Christianity isn't the problem with Bangladeshis, Indians or Pakistanis, but honor killings are.

There are billions of indians and muslims and about 5,000 honour killings a year in the whole world http://hbv-awareness.com/

Do try to be a more educated bigot.

But saying over 2 billion people 'sprout crap about morals' because they're Christians isn't bigoted?

I like Christians, lovely people, used to be one, however Christianity is all about guilt and original sin. Sprouting crap about morals is pretty much their raison-d'etre.

Christian here. I don't recall sprouting anything related to morals. Should I be stepping up to the plate to fulfill my stereotypical obligations?

Honor killings aren't an integral part of any religion. They're cultural. Just like bigotry isn't part of any religion. For the record, Christians are not called upon to tell non-believers how to live. That's cultural, too.

Also, I guess 5,000 dead women aren't that big a deal.

A very stupid bigot.

You should consider the child brides of India if you want to drum up hate about Indians, and obviously the practice of Sati.

Actually, that's more Catholic. Christianity is more about the teachings of Christ. There are many sub-branches of Christianity.
While both Christians and Catholics are somewhat under the same faith, a lot of people that are Catholics think they're the true Christians.
Not to mention, many Christians believe that if you follow the teachings of Christ, you will go to heaven. Whereas many Catholics believe you have to live a good life to make it into heaven, or least be damned by God.
So you can't really say blanketed statements like that.

I grew up in New Orleans. There is tons of tension between many Catholic and Christian churches.

So what is the average Republican? The pro life, anti poor and anti gay certainly isn't catholic. Generic moralistic crap can come from all flavours of christianity, which is the sort of thing we are speaking of here regarding teachers and their previous employment.

I, personally, do not call those people Christians, or Catholics. To me, the teachings of Christ are more about, being kind to the people around you, and not depending on the situation.
I'm not going to have an argument about the semantics of religions to be honest. I'm just saying, don't pigeon hole a group of people because of the public face of a few people who take the teachings wrong.
And no, I'm not Christian. I'm actually more spiritual.

Hummm... as my original point. The acceptance I think its more of a generational thing than any specific group. It happended to a degree with my mother's generation, though school groups and similar things she was involved in, but now I expect that the kids I knew at uni 20 years ago are the mothers who are amking these judgments. Specifically in the US though there still seems to be a lot of people who go out of their way to tell others how to live their lives and what to believe.
