I say, "PASS JUDGEMENT WITH A VENGENCE!". Call a thief a thief; a bastard a bastard; a crook a crook; a tramp a tramp; a piece of trash a piece of trash.
And your evidence that someone with a tattoo is a piece of trash? There aren't any law-abiding, tax-paying, hard-working average individuals who have tattoos? Feel free to make a judgment as long as it fits reality; just because you don't like tattoos doesn't mean that someone with them is worthless garbage.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

So you are an advocate on indulging the whims of apotemnophilia? After all it is their self expression.
I never said that, did I? I said that it everyone's right to express themselves as they see fit. I should have added that it's everyone who is SANE to have the right to do to their own bodies as they please; just don't force me to do it! If cutting off your own arm as a form of self-expression is then considered a SANE thing to do, then yeah, I guess I'm an advocate of that practice.
I didn't know I needed to distinguish between an insane or emotionally/neurololgically compromised person from a sane one. Sorry.
Nope. And for the record, I don't appreciate you putting words in mouth so I am not going to discuss this futher. Actually, there is no point in continuing to talk to you, so I'm done.
CG, Is there an ignore button somewhere that I'm missing?
Always comes back to the same thing with you libs. It is all acceptable if you say it is, but just point out the flaw in your rationalization and you want to whine and complain and go home because you can't defend the irrational point view you expressed. Pathetic

Click on the profile button of one of the offender's posts, then look for "Add Foe". Click that.
Then congrats! You've declared a new enemy.

I know this will start controversy but I am going to put it out there anyway. It is IMO either part of the Anti-God movement or done totally unaware of God's word.
It says very clearly In My Opinion, it is not a condemnation of anyone. Everyone is entitled in a Free Society to any self expression they wish. I choose not to have tattoos or piercings, just as I have chosen to have faith in My God. I do not say that everyone has to believe in My God, nor that everyone has to believe in some God. That too is your choice.
I did say that I knew it would cause controversy, and that is what I have always tried to do on here. In this case I have stated my opinion, and that too is a choice that I am free to make, as are all of you.
I didn't say that everyone who has a tattoo is trash. I will admit that I am put off by excessive tattoos but I have many friends that have ink and piercings.

Please consider, that with your tunnel vision you zeroed in on one expression; "piece of trash". This speaks volumes of your inward fears of the opinion of others. Why did you not attack with the argument that those with tattoos are not "thieves"? or "crooks"?
(Added for clarity:
My post was speaking of broad and general subject of being opinionated/or not. None of the expressions given by me was specific to tattoo, but rather to all things in general. Quite often people are so open-minded that their brains fall out.)
