A look at the latest nominee
Guess what theoretical-cops, life's unfair - SUCK IT UP.
Right, life's unfair. Muslims can be forced to shave if they wanna be cops.
Woohoo, I suck because Catt gave my winning argument!
But still, there are some organization in which teamwork is essential. You just can't have people in that kind of organization who get to be special, because it kills espirit de corps.

I like Gordon's arguments better. They make more sense. It might be because I was in the military as well and understand the value of removing one's 'self' from the equation. You are a part of a team. (which is also why I never understood that 'Army of One' thing they have going on). No beards has been a rule forever. Now it's changed? I think that points out the whining ones.
Well, I'm all corporate-like, and we value diversity. (We even have a diversity month, diversity training, a diversity executive council...)
So the idea of people being themselves, having uniqueness, etc is a pretty good one to me. I guess it's relative to the situation, which is why I'm guessing the military still doesn't allow any beards whatsoever, and most of corporate America does.

It's not me, it's someone else.
I was going to point out that there are differences between 'corporate' and 'police/military' things. Corporate, be the happy tree hugging whatever-you-call-it. But, when it comes to the police/military, their job is rather special and has special needs.
I doubt you'd ever hear a marine say "Ya, I'm a marine, but I'm my own person too." They just don't think that way. (However, you WOULD hear them say "Ya, I'm about to fight 15 army guys, but I'm a marine and I'm gonna win 'cause I'm invincible!! Hoorah!!". And then he'd get his ass handed to him in a bad way. Which really has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. . . I'm just sharing.)

I've never understood this argument. Not that I think that diversity is a bad thing, but it isn't required the way some people think.Well, I'm all corporate-like, and we value diversity. (We even have a diversity month, diversity training, a diversity executive council...)
Two examples would be Germany (WWII) and Japan. Not real big on diversity and Germany damn near took over Europe and Japan became economic powerhouse without it.
France is super big on diversity and tolerance, and they are pathetic.

I think forced diversity is as evil as forced segregation.
I agree 100%.
You cannot force people to not be racist or prejudiced and programs designed to do that only create racism.

Women were getting into the factories at home, but then the same hing happened in Germany.
Jap Americans got thrown in jail, Jew Germans got thrown in the gas chamber.
Germany didn't have the black population America did, but they would have been put to work in the factories, too.

I agree with Malcolm. Wasn't there a famous group of black pilots or bombers in WW2?
Or was that just Hollywood?
