I hate them for their own stupidity. This shit "Look what i've done to myself, i'm a cool motherfucker" annoys me greatly. I could never respect a guy like that.
<insert finger and pull>
People do what people do, as long as they ain't hurting others. I could say the same about people wearing suits, "oh look at me, i'm rich and fancy!". Judge the people, not the shell they're in.
So how is it any different from tattoos? I'll admit I think it looks bloody stupid when people take it to extremes but each to their own. Women have their noses pierced and that makes them unattractive to me. And yes, it is discrimmination. Like it or not equal rights are equal rights and if someone who has stretched their ears is well presented and doesn't have anything outlandish colour wise in their ears then most employers will overlook it in favor of their qualifications, experience and what they can bring to the company. Only someone with a stick up their arse and a narrow mind would have a problem with it. You, in other words.
Suits are clothes therefore can be considered a shell. That is their body and what they do is permanent, or semi-permanent. It becomes them and will stick there for the rest of their lives. Stupid.
