Mutilating their own bodies

Big Horn said:
Do you mind people who pick their noses and draw out a really big and juicy looking booger, then hold it up to the light to examine it more closely, then finally pop it into their mouths and eat it with a mouth smacking sound and a grunt of pleasure.

The foregoing notwithstanding, I'd prefer to watch someone eat boogers while I'm eating lunch than to look at a tattooed face.

And that is exactly what it is - your preference. It doesn't give you the right to legislate against either party, as some would have it.
 

You seem to have a rage-on for these tatted/pierced folks. Why not just live and let live, you'll reduce the amount of acids your stomach is churning out.

Rage-on is putting it a bit strongly, but yes I think facial tattoos and multi-piercings are obscene.

And you would be content being a person like that?



Person like what. Not clear on what person you mean.




Where does the line get drawn? Today it's tats and piercings, tomorrow it's skin color, the next day it's left-handers.



As far as I'm concerned the line gets drawn with full facial tattoos and multi-facial piercings.



I don't know about where you live, but here in PA (and pretty much everywhere on the East coast) it's illegal to turn someone down for a job or an apartment simply based on their physical appearance.

I know more than just a little bit about the restaurant business, and I can tell you that the chances of someone being hired in a high-end restaurant as a Maitre D, captain, waiter, bartender, or busboy, when that person has facial tattoos and/or multi facial piercings is --- zero.
It would absolutely freak-out the customers.

And technically I believe that is illegal.

I'm sure they tell them at the interview that they don't have enough experience or their credit check came back bad.
 
Seems this thread has evolved toward a moral issue thing
and it's been proven thru the centuries rather tough to legislate, or regulate

Opinions? Go for it

Force?

How?

Castigation?
Groupies?
Segregation?

Seems a giant step backward

Please proceed (my popcorn is ready)

The Pennsylvania Dutch have a way of dealing with such problems. It's called, shunning.

As far as taking a giant step backwards is concerned, the people who get full facial tattoos have taken a giant step backwards into the primeval past, like something out of a jungle nightmare.

'Shunning'
Sounds a tad Amish
No backwards step there, right?

'...something out of a jungle nightmare'

an opinion

your nightmare

so?

What do you suppose others should do about your nightmare?

I know what you mean Gary :partytime:I still say to each his/her own! I personally would not tattoo as much as some would but what is the big deal if someone else does it? Geez.

Of course it's an opinion. What else could it be ?

What do I suppose others should do ? I don't suppose anything. If some people support a return to the jungle, there is nothing I can do about that.

Help me out here, you may have mentioned it already, but I missed it...what's the point of this thread...or....is there no point?

I agree Traveler, imagine this gal coming to your table and asking, "Would you like some more bread, or fresh pepper on your salad?" That would be something to remember! :p :D

OH, MY GOD ! If i walked into a restuarant and saw that "thing" , I'd demand to see the owner and ask him if he was out of his freakin' mind.
I've seen some extremely bizarre things in my life, but that thing takes the cake for the most disgusting.
Can you even begin to imagine what is going on in her mind?

If you don't know by now, I can't help you. But, thank you for reminding me why I moved out of Portland. Actually, it would be more accurate to say, "fled from".

Ah, evasion
surprise surprise

and I was ready to fill in for you
possibly just trying to find the pulse of what is called civilization
to determine where oneself fits

I was hoping my curiosity would prove worthy
but
alas
never a challenge met
three threads
three strikes

circumvention; the musical instrument of the tone deaf


the popcorn has gone stale

People who support the concept of full facial tattoos and bizarre facial piercings seem to be saying, 'It's their body and they have a right to do with it as they please'. If so, then I ask if it is also perfectly acceptable to sneeze without any attempt to cover it, just spray all over everyone ? Or how about if you are in a restaurant, enjoying your meal, and some jerk at the next table lets out the loudest belch you ever heard ? Or how about you are at a restaurant, dining with someone, and you see him picking his nose and wiping it on his sleeve. Wouldn't you be grossed out ? If you answered yes, then I ask you, why? After all, it's his body, shouldn't he be allowed to do whatever he wants to do with it.?

Society has unwritten rules for civilized behavior. When people start doing any darn thing they please, any time they darn well feel like it, then society begins to crumble.

+

"unwritten rules"change over time and depend on the location of the supposed infraction. If society is so fragile a few tattoos will crumble it, there is BIG trouble anyway and if a person wants full face tattoos, they are probably willing to take the consequences in terms of social sanctions. You find it offensive - don't look - because they do have the right to have full face tattoos - and you have no say!
