Why not make stupidity a crime.

I often say that these days you are a rebel if you don’t get any tattoos.

I like the tatoo of a swastica that Charles Manson got on his forehead.

Freedom is a two-way street.

Concise and accurate. Nicely done.

If I were in a store being waited on by Mr. King of Ink Land King Body Art The Extreme Ink-Ite I think I would run, not walk, in the other direction and I don’t thin I’d be alone. So no, employers should not be required to hire just any moron off the street.

I always tell them, “You’ll make somebody a beautiful lamp shade some day.” They don’t get it.

Tattoos are the outward sign of inner problems.

Being military or ex-military doesn’t change that.

And for Bible believers there is the clear prohibition against body mutilation and marking.

My wife & I are in our 60’s. The only marks on her skin are the surgical scars which serve to remind me how blessed I am that she is still with me.

We’re both retired military & we shop on post. Seeing what young soldiers are doing to their skin is appalling. Especially the young women with their `tats’ which subtract from, not add to, their femininity IMO.

A tattoo is merely a painted scar.

What is your point? My point is ..... hate them or love them or anything in between. it is a free country, but the government is working on changing that.

The point is simple: you can be free of the government's oppression, but you will never be free of people's judgement - which may affect your chances of a good job.

Well, there is one chance to escape this judgement; that is to be irrelevant to other people. I do not judge Abdullah from a tiny Afghan village because I have never been there and don't care what they do. This is just a technicality, as hardly anyone is hired to be irrelevant.

Not everyone becomes fat and out of shape. Just sayin'

I've got new for you. Yes they do.

Well, at least the out of shape part. There is nothing you can do about the change in the shape your body takes. You can slow the process but you can't stop it.
