Some women actually pay good $$$ for some nice woman to take quite a lot of time and effort and apply this hardened goop to their fingernails.

I'm a woman. I like nice clothes and a good hair style. I understand manicures/pedicures...but the bizarre fingernails made out of liquid acrylic? I am suspect of any female who does this. Not only does it look tacky (from just plain poor taste to the ridiculous)...but it makes me wonder what kind of mind they have. Honestly. I normally don't judge people, too much, on appearance if they are clean and neat...but these just set off a red flag...The longer and more intricately “designed” the bigger the flag.

Am I the only one?

Anyway, rant over. I'm sickened to see our wonderful military (the one thing the govt. does well) messed with.

No. No ear rings for men and no fake talons for the women. Stick with the tried and true. It has worked well...oh, I know, saying that makes me a “hater”. YET ANOTHER thing I hate...the ghetto-ization of our language. Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh.

Saddle shoes, vinyl bustiers, and toe rings were also mentioned.

One more step in taking our military professionalism down a few more notches.

It is not about the Troops it is about the head shed putting good people through degrading PC training. I pray for my comrades enduring these times for me.
