Jobcentre Apologizes For Anti-Jedi Discrimination
An anonymous reader writes "Chris Jarvis, 31, is described as a Star Wars fan and member of the International Church of Jediism. Said church's intergalactic hoodie uniform is at odds with the strict doctrine of the Department for Work and Pensions, which may require Jobcentre 'customers' to remove crash helmets or hoods for 'security reasons.' Following his ejection, Jarvis filled out a complaint form and within three days got a written apology from branch boss Wendy Flewers. She said: 'We are committed to provide a customer service which embraces diversity and respects customers' religion.'"
Get a life... There is no force. Jesus will safe you from redemption. Jesus F. C. is the way.
As far as I remember, the emperor takes off his hood sometimes also: http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/147161/VATICAN-GAY-SEX-SCANDAL-PIC.jpg
>>All the Jedi characters I remember were pretty polite. Also, I don't recall many complaint forms being filled out.
That's what religion ends up being about though. Not about practicing what you believe in and about what is right, but thinking you are better and whining so you can basically do whatever you feel like.
No non-profit organizations in the United States have to pay taxes.
How in the whole of thundering f*ck is a church a non profit organisation? The profits just go to some central fund to be spent how they want (more churches, repairs on existing churches, hush money to parents of small boys...) rather than back out to shareholders
No matter how much people can stretch the definition of freedom of religion, this dude is the fucking dumbest dork I've seen/heard of in a long time. Goddamit, it's even painful to think of this type of dorkiness.
"Sometimes it's best to just nip it in the bud before it ***blows up*** and you have tons of assholes trying to make up excuses for why they should be above a rule that everyone else but them has to follow."
You mean like paki's do all the time? Apropriate choice of words there.
As a restoftheworldian, the stories we get from the US sometimes make me wonder if this "rest of society" you speak of even exists. You might be the last of a dying breed.
What a depressingly stupid machine.
It is no longer politically correct to use the word retards. I think they are to be called Palin-Americans now.
You're thinking of the terms "hillbilly" and "trailer-trash". The politically correct term for Retard is still Republican.
