Now, THAT'S affirmative action!

You guys (gals) are thinking too small.

I wanna be a CEO. Preferably in a "green" industry so I can get bailouts and a golden parachute. I PROMISE to be a fast learner!

eldirector, you switched your avatar and messed me up for a minute. Thought you were a new guy.

A lifeguard that can't swim?

Who hired Spongebob?

Nevermind.

So if it's okay to be a life guard and not know how to swim, then why can't someone just decide to be a lawyer, or a doctor, or a policeman without going through all than mind numbing education? What is good for one occupation should be good for all. At least in the mind of the liberals.

Sure! It worked for the president.

But still, it used to be that, if you applied for a life guard job, and then admitted you couldn't swim, you were a laughing stock! THAT'S the world I want back!

Vote for me for president if I can silently tie up a few loose ends (you know, kind of like Rae Curruth and his the dog's gonna get out...we need to build a fence kind of thing). I'll be just the man you're looking for. I'll be bringing back public floggings, stocks, instant death penalty for ChoMos/meth dealers/ambulance chasing lawyers, no yoga pants for the obese, and if you get butthurt over very minor things you get shipped to France to live out the rest of your life.

Can we tar and feather the morbidly stupid, just for being stupid? If so, you have my vote!

That would make for a good Monday, just to make starting the week more tolerable.

Uh.... Did anyone actually read the original sources, or did everyone play good lil sheep, and take a biased article with information from another article, as fact?

Well, fact is, nowhere is it found that people that "can't swim" would be hired as life guards. Well, except in the article the OP posted. And people would still have to pass the life guard test at the same standards as always.

Uhh, isn't that what you're suppose to do on the Internet? Researching something that gets posted, ain't nobody got time for dat.

But seriously, Swiss cheese is the best of all cheeses and ChoMos/meth dealers/lawyers all suck.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

To Kut's point about reading the underlying sources and all...an even more repugnant aspect of this:

"The kids in the pool are all either Hispanic or black or whatever, and every lifeguard is white," she says, "and we don't like that. The kids don't relate; there's language issues."

Apparently diversity means undiversifying a situation and homogenizing it. I thought race shouldn't matter.

Which brings me right back to zombie apocalypse or asteroid strike.

That would not be news, so stay out of it!

Talk about lowering standards
