I can't tell ya just how gosh-darned lucky we are to have an educated, and successful person(such as yourself) walking among, and with us.

These morons just don't understand that you make better decisions about their lives than they ever will. You should should set up an exchange, or a website.

The worst tats I’ve ever seen were those by people who could not afford professional tats.

A needle and India ink, really awful stuff, mostly simple designs from back in the 1960s. Swastikas were popular even though many could not get them on properly, names of girlfriends long gone, and assorted horrible designs.

Then after a few years they begin to blur and look horrible.

On some people, the skin actually moves over the years. A scar on my dad’s back migrated over 50 years to his neck. Think how a good looking tattoo will look when it becomes blurred and distorted after many years.

Here’s my pitch idea for the next tract idea: Satanically tattooed Jesuits and the evil cast of Harry Potter play Dungeons and Dragons. It saves on paper, because you are covering in one tract what would normally take 4 or 5 tracts.

That’s a good story, I heard another one about this guy from England who was once stopped by the cops, he was a passenger by the way, they asked for ID, he had none so he showed them one on his arm that read “Bill”.

If it's while they listen to heavy metal music I think we might really be on to something.

I`m sure somewhere there is a tatted person (or maybe even two, or three) of conservative tendencies who`s wondering right now if 6% voter turnout for registered Republicans (my district) wasn`t low enough for y`all the last presidential election.

5 years of hate. 6 months of begging. 6 months of blaming. Repeat.

I've often head of tattooing children with their addresses. Some even get offended by it.

LOL, no you don’t have it, but that hail Mary pass was to be expected.

You then proceed to make up more untruths for me, by pretending that I have addressed smokers, or support regulations.

None of my factual posting on smoking was directed at you personally or anyone else, it came up and facts are facts, don’t let yourself feel personally attacked, and don’t do it to me.

Go back to the post that I was responding to, post 56, it claimed that the stigma against smoking is because of morality, I was correcting that, that’s all.

Agreeing with the facts has nothing to do with being a smoker or non-smoker.

What in the world does post 151 have to do with the post you just made?

Which district is that, that only 6% of republicans voted in?

ONZ, where did I go wrong?!? You’re all redneck and not fit for the upscale areas of coastal Southern California!!!

“If it’s while they listen to heavy metal music I think we might really be on to something.”

Brilliant. I can’t believe I let that slip. It even works, as Alberto Rivera attested many times that Jesuits are huge fans of metal.

*** I always thought it was a number from the death camps because his age was about right ***

***He defaulted to having his SSN tattooed on his arm. ***

SS number or military service number? The military replaced the military number and started using the social security number back around 1968.

I just have long waist-length curly gray hair.

I have short, spiky gray hair. There are plenty of Christians who say that is a sin, that God insists on long hair ... and don't you know, men find it so much more attractive ...

Well, phooey. I have ten kids, and I'm not going to waste a minute on my hair, and being attractive to men is lower on my priority list than alphabetizing the spice cabinet again. Some people are just going to seize on something, anything - hair, tattoos, weight, smoking - so they can consider others "not as good as me" and treat them like dirt.

If you (a general, rhetorical you) want to be like that, knock yourself out. Means nowt.

Only 6% of republicans turned out in your, precinct? and it can be connected to tattoos and our attitudes about them?

Actually, I think his intention was to tell us how he DID know Southern California, and I didn't.

Put the same energy into telling the young that conservative values are the values of the cool rebels who kicked a monarch`s ass and made this country. Save the sermon on how the servicemen who died on Omaha Beach with a tattoo are all roasting in hell, for your freak club that believes it.

Conservatism is treading water and mindless hate is the rocks in it`s pockets.

She. I spent a good amount of time living there in the past 4 years. Except for the areas around Monterey I recall most people my age smoked and/or had tattoos everywhere I went on the West Coast. Possibly the same can’t be said of people over the age of 40, but I didn’t spend much time around older businessmen while I was living there.
Somehow I don’t think people going to Berkeley or Washington State are poor or uneducated.

He has been in port in Southern California several times in recent years. You probably just live in other parts.

FWIW, it seems like the celebrities I see in People magazine and the Daily Mail all smoke.
