I understand what you're saying here.

don't forget to cull Christians, because they wouldn't be able to work overtime on Sunday mornings from 9am

Well whether you think I am right or wrong, there are many employers out there who think along these lines. It is no different to a boss who graduated from UTS saying he will hire only UTS graduates and not UNSW or USYD graduates.
Calli it discrimination if you want although in reality it is extremely common. Marks don't get you a job (they help though), personality and whether you can fit into the existing team or not does.
All people over an optimum age would have to go too obviously. Cant have old people hanging around forgetting things.

You are a retard.
Just because you aren't at the top either academically or socially -> This is a classic example of Tall Poppy Syndrome.
Luckily you won't ever be in a position to hire people because you don't understand life.

How about you, you know, assess each on their merits.
That is incredibly accurate. Whether its fair or not is debatable, but thats besides the point.

You can't legally discriminate against anyone. However, of course people discriminate, they just don't openly say it (as then the company could be sued). In saying that though, I personally wouldn't discriminate against people for being Christian.

Is it called discrimination if we discriminate against fuckwits? or is that just called common sense?

You are wrong. Arrantly wrong.
But why the frick are you suggesting that working hard to get good marks is mutually exclusive with having a great personality and the ability to assimilate into a team setting?! Are you deranged?! Did someone reject you for being too stupid or something because honestly I would just like to punch you in the face right now.

It would depend on the role as to what the unofficial (as legally they cannot be official) cull points would be.

Why bother with that when you can make sweeping generalisations?
If you look at it seriously, yes it would be discrimination 0.o
People could go all "unfair dismissal" if they've already been hired for that position.

Mate, you do realise that you have lost all credibility with people on this site? We no longer care what you think. I apologise for being so mean, but seriously?!
I'm deeply hurt and saddened.
And I dont actually get what that comment has to do with that post I made...o.0
Oh and btw, I'm sure you didnt really care in the first place. Its a website, people typically dont give a shit to begin with.

The only reason we are having this argument is because I do care. I do care that people are making unfounded and wholly ignorant judgements about people who work hard to get where they're at.
I wasnt the one making them. For what must be the hundredth time, I've said there ARE cases on both sides. I've based opinions on what I've seen, and the same for you. And I've said myself, like I just said before, that such things dont reflect the entire population and there are those who arent like that.
How is that unfounded and ignorant...?
If anything, that makes you the ignorant one...

There are so many generalisations....
Going out instead of studying doesn't automatically mean you have good social skills.
Playing sport doesn't automatically mean you have good social skills.
Being bright doesn't automatically translate to great marks and vice versa.
Bad marks don't automatically mean you're more sociable/not bright.
And so on....
The only thing that is certain is the bell curve....people who are extremely naturally bright and so most likely excel whilst also having innate charisma and the capacity for good social skills etc are relatively rare. Those people are the ones who generally get first pick for jobs.
Therefore the majority (but obviously not all) people who get 95+ because they're bright are going to lack social skills others have. That's the only conclusion we can really make.

It's been a while since I did my HSC, but I remember a few people left my HSC biology exam like as soon as you could leave, and I'm pretty sure there were like <5 people left at the end of general Maths. Lol
