Mutilating their own bodies

Nothing new there. Tatoos and various "decorative" piercings have been going on for a long time. I'm more concerned with people's behavior...like bullying, for instance.
 

check out that link/article, tells you how different things can mean "groups" etc. The guy also talks about how he'd rather get to now people by what's inside instead of outward appearances, and tells of some things that may lie behind the piercings/tatooing.
 
Back in those "good old days," many of those children who were fortunate enough to survive infancy were reduced to begging for a crust of bread. And many were subjected to incredible cruelty. ("Spare the rod and spoil the child.") So let's not get carried away with how wonderful things used to be for those innocent little babies.

I've mentioned the book "The Good Old Days - They Were Terrible!" on this forum before. Once again, I recommend it to everyone. It's fascinating, and a real eye-opener. You can probably find it on Amazon.
 

Thank you, Sunny! I can really use this as ammunition for a forum pal that insists EVERYTHING was so much better in the past when charity and the private sector took care of everything. Makes me wonder if he ever heard of Charles Dickens.
 
I hope I don't have to remind people that the issue is NOT tattoos in and of themselves, but rather the "over-the-top" extreme facial tattoos and dozens and dozens of body piercings. I have never personally seen metal ornamentation/piercing on the most intimate area of a woman's anatomy, and I hope I never do see that, IMO there is something terribly wrong with a woman who would do something so bizarre.

As I sit here tonight, watching the ladies figure skating in the Winter Olympics, I am once again in awe of their talent, grace and sheer feminine beauty. I think I can say with absolute assurance that if one of those ladies was covered with tattoos and had 2 pounds of metal hanging from her face, the entire world would be horrified.

Since I have said my little piece, and have nothing more to add, I now exit from this particular thread.

Oh my goodness; I thought those were beavers going after the wood log isle!
 
Denise, isn't the topic of this thread supposed to be tattoos? You seem to be working awfully hard to turn it into an anti-abortion polemic. I don't see what abortion has to do with the subject
under discussion.

Although I guess the two subjects do have this in common: Don't like abortions/tattoos? Fine, don't get one.

Disagree strongly.

I always thought the main idea of judging a figure skating performance was on the performance, not the appearance.

Very bold of you to speak for the entire world. :rolleyes:

Ah, the dreaded THAR - Traveler's Hit And Run! :p
 
That's probably untrue except among women who work for employers like Hobby Lobby who refuse to cover birth control as part of their employees' health insurance.

So maybe the sanctimonious folks who run Hobby Lobby would rather subsidize abortion instead?

what does this have to do with the OP?

That's my question too. When I was little most tattoos I saw were on men in the military but now they are common with men and women and are an expression of art. I know a lot of people who have them and I have one myself. Like everything else moderation is probably better than extremism but to each his own

IMO, Live and let live as long as no one gets hurt it doesn't matter if you file your teeth into points or tattoo the entire globe on your body. I simply do not care.
