At my gym you're not allowed to wear anything on your head unless you are religious

[Dirty F]

If you believe in ancient fairy tales then you are allowed to wear a scarf.

If you believe in ancient fairy tales then you have more rights than someone who doesn't.

[Mr Pheer]

Most gyms are considered private clubs and they can make any rules that they want. You dont have to join.

They were forced to do this by a commision of equal rights. They were crying about how the poor religious nutters were discriminated. So they forced them to have rules that made sure the religious nutters have more rights than me.

Noticed the equal rights part in their name?

[Paul&John]

its fucked up, but hey just make up your own religion and you can wear anything also ;)

[TommyM]

I believe in myself - what rules do I get

At my gym, members are only allowed to wear a hat, nothing else...

And i bet they won't accept that.

[georgeyw]

Who gives a fuck.

Religious nuts are not allowed in my gym, nor are any other retarded dickheads that I do not like.

So lesson for you is to create your own gym. You do not need all these bullshit machines to do a workout.

[georgeyw]

double post...

[Jel]

Not a good way to live life mate, if you're actually serious with that reply.

[CurrentlySober]

Not even your hair?

Mixed Gym?
The only religion where males have to cover their heads is Sikh nope?

Dead serious.
I live in a secular country. I don't want rules that tell me i have less freedom than a religious person.

I shouldn't even be explaining this.

[pimpmaster9000]

I would not go to a stupid gym that does not allow me to wear something on my head, are you saying you can not wear a baseball cap????

Or are you just complaining like a little western bitch about some poor women who immigrated to your country because your UN butty boys have been exploiting the shit out of her region for decades upon decades, and her backwards husband/father makes her wear it, and backwards fat-out-of-shape imbeciles like you find offence?

Its just a woman, she wont hurt you your "rights" are safe

[v4 media]

Never seen a muslim woman in a gym, didn't think they'd be allowed in a mixed one incase they flashed an ankle or similar.

What the heck is a "commission of equal rights", and how do they have the power to tell a private business owner what rules he can, or cannot have, within his own private business???

So are people then forced by this commission to join the gym also? After all, if the business owner if being forced by the government to make certain rules, then will the government force people to be customers? If someone wants to drink tea rather than coffee at the local coffee shop then they can force the business to sell tea as well?

This is totally bizarre to me. I believe in the free association of adults. If I want to make a gym where the rule is that everyone must were purple socks, and no one wants to join my gym because of the rule, so be it, I will go out of business. If another gym wants to create a rule that everyone must be naked, and people do want to join it, that's their free right also. The point is that this is not a public place, it's a private business, paid for and maintained by a private person, the government should have absolutely no right to tell the owner how they can or cannot run their own private business.

Are you in Canada or Europe or where?

Private businesses need licenses, power water and all sorts of things those groups can screw with.

I disagree with your thread but no one has ever said something so correct
Just be Happy your not Canadian, most of us are jokes who don't know shit about who and what we vote for, kinda like your republicans last year ;)

[bronco67]

What religion allows you to wear a douchey skullcap or bandana? I think those rules are to keep the meathead quotient down.

I've been a member of Planet Fitness in the past, and they don't allow and headwear, or workboots, or slamming weights and grunting like a fucking freak. They even have an alarm in the gym that goes off when someone is being a meathead.

[beerptrol]

I could give two shits what someone was allowed to wear or not wear. I'm there to work out, and not there to critique gym fashion. You can thank the douchebags who made it so you can't wear bandanas at the gym anymore.

[Barefootsies]

If you believe in ancient fairy tales then you have more rights than someone who doesn't.

so because the people who mindlessly believe in fairy tales are better at exercising their rights than you are, it's somehow their fault?

fight for your right for head gear at the gym franck!

you don't want to be showed up by any religious nutter do you?

Why? Do you have a hat they won't let you wear?

[Scott McD]

I remember this story from a few years ago:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...headscarf.html

Sarah Desrosiers, 32, says she turned down Bushra Noah as a junior stylist to maintain the image of her salon, which specialises in "urban, funky" cuts.
She told Miss Noah, 19, she needed her staff to display their hairstyles to the public.

But the devout Muslim insisted that wearing her headscarf was essential to her beliefs.
Miss Noah, who has been rejected for 25 different hairdressing jobs after interviews, is suing Miss Desrosiers for more than £15,000 for injury to her feelings plus an unspecified sum for lost earnings.
Miss Desrosiers, who set up the Wedge salon in King's Cross, North London, 18 months ago, says she faces financial ruin if she loses the case.

She denies any discrimination and insists it is an "absolutely basic" job requirement that cus-Yesterday, Miss Desrosier said: "When a potential client walks past on the street, they look into a salon at the stylists to get an impression of what haircut they are going to get there.

"If an employee were wearing a baseball cap or cowboy hat I would ask them to remove it at work.
"It has nothing to do with religion. But I now feel like I have been branded a racist. My name is being dragged through the mud."
She went on: "This girl is suing me for more than I earn in a year.
"I am a small business and have only had my salon a year and a half. If I lose this lawsuit, my business will fold."




What a cunt...

[CyberHustler]

Allah bless America... I can wear whatever I want on my head at the gym and I have no religion.

[sperbonzo]

Apparently, they are actually able to utilize the legal use of force by the government to dictate to a private business that they have no financial interest in, and are not forced to be customers of....

It's the business owner that is the victim here, actually.

[Scott McD]

Here was the outcome to the case with the hairdresser i posted above.

£4000 for 'hurt feelings'.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...ldnt-hair.html

I wonder if everyone who doesn't get a job can claim for hurt feelings...

the government has no financial interest in a private business, licensed under said government?

so as a person who is of a jewish decent, you feel that minorities shouldn't have 'legal precedent' over a majority?

look forward to your answer

Licensing is simply a form of tax. The government is taking money from the business. If it fails the government loses nothing. The govenment has not invested in the business.

And your second question makes no sense. Im talking about government interference in the way a person runs their own private business. It has nothing to do minorities or majorities. Im not sure that you even understood my point at all....

that seems very simpleton way to describe the purposes of licenses. But my point was to show what interest a government would have in a business, while you were saying there was 'no interest'.

furthermore, my second point does make sense, you're just refusing to understand it.

you are of jewish decent. there is plenty of examples of how a 'minority' would use the government to 'interfere' with the way a person would run their private business

'no dogs, blacks, or jews allowed' etc

cute.
