He’s talking about transgender surgery.
Tattoos and piercings are forms of self-mutilation, nothing more. I’ll leave it to you to decide what kind of person values the practices of stabbing himself with needles and poking holes in his flesh.
How big a ship is she on?
I had dinner last night at the home of some friends. The lady of the house is from Canada, and she had some young relatives visiting as well. One is a high-school history teacher in eastern Canada (son-in-law) and then her son and his girlfriend turned up. The son is a Canadian soldier with a tour in Afghanistan under his belt. His arms ands hands are covered in tats, all meaningless swirls and designs. His girlfriend, also a soldier, has a couple of discreet tats as well. I don’t have any tats, although there are times when I wish I’d got one 50 years ago or so with my squadron’s logo, a fierce-looking coiled cobra, but I didn’t and now it’s way too late. Or maybe a shamrock or a harp (my mother would’ve approved).
I stand by my original comment.
Are you aware that a wound to a tattooed area could cause blood poisoning or other complications? Did you know that if a woman has a tattoo in the small of her back, she may be refused an epidural for pain during child birth? The same holds true for anyone where their tattoos prevent certain medical treatments?
In our busy lives, we must make instant decisions every day that could deeply affect our lives. Most times, we don’t have the time or inclination to properly evaluate people with which we have brief business or encounters.
Our eyes are our best & most immediate tool to make these decisions. If something or someone is visually offensive, we reject it, pure & simple. Human nature. Also, a right as an individual.
I believe in free speech, but I also believe others can reject that speech as wrong or offensive - rejection is also free speech. Ultimately, if you want an audience, you must play to that audience.
I used to be a very non athletic person, three years ago I began to run sprint Triathalons, I am working my way up to a Half Ironman, When I do that I will be getting a Tat on my right shoulder signifying my accomplishment.
Re my first post: I was kidding!!
Obviously, I have to work on my delivery.
Who is that in the photo?
Thanks for this. In terms of insight, Mike Adams goes from stgrength to strength. And you can see he cares for his students, and suffers in the spiritual decomposition he the cultural and intellectual Slough of Despond known as the American college campus.
Pardon my stupidity in posting to myself. Duh!
My post # 18 was a reply to your post. Please accept it as such.
She recently got off the Coast Guard’s largest ship, and is now in a shore post. She has a car, so the motorcycle will be a future purchase.
No he’s not, he’s talking about genital piercings. If you want to know more including illustrations, do a search on ‘Elayne Angel and The Piercing Bible’....I’m not going to post the link here.
I wonder how many Freepers know that God has something to say about piercings and tattoos.... Leviticus 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
I’ve noticed that a lot of inmates in prison have them. Role models for our youth.
I’d prefer my daughter didn’t have them, but when a girl is 18, independent, and in Hawai’i, what can you do but say, “Nice ship ... the fog effects are cool!”? She designed it herself, after doing designs for others on her ship.
Thanks! It’s a loud and confused life ...
The girl was really sick, even vomiting. Four of the adults present started getting sick the next day, myself included. I haven't even had a cold in 10 years, dammit!
That makes sense (well, it explains things anyway). Since transgender surgery is so rare, I did wonder. Thanks.
