Disney still has a No Facial Hair policy (except at Euro Disney, where French courts have found that it “violates basic human rights”)
Again... Mistaken assumption that I care.
This is me. This is my life. I'm not living it for you...
100 Percent agree.
Long hair was popular in the 1970s for teens, early 20s. As was drugs and the drinking age was only 18 then too. But I don't remember the losers I knew in High school getting tattoos though. This seems to have cropped up more recently than that, maybe like the popularity of gays.
At least when you outgrow long hair its easy to cut.
A young woman OK looking working sales at a Fitness Center here (I occasionally go to) had a ring appear in her cheek recently. Disgusting looking.
He just turned 78 and the tats are over 50 years old. They are unrecognizable as anything other than ugly blue blobs.
Any parent wanting to tell their teenagers they should not get tats is welcome to bring the kids over here and let them see Mr,Ditters’.
Fair or not, they convey a message of low class.
It’s neither “ceremonious” nor “moral” they are God’s Written Commands.....you know the written ones of which Jesus stated that not one letter or one stroke of God’s Written Commands will pass until the heavens and earth are gone and everything is accomplished.
Well for starters, not everything has been accomplished. Not according to the teachings of Jesus nor any prophet. There’s still a lot that needs to be accomplished. And the heavens and earth are still in existence.
Therein your above statement lays the buffet-line logic of paulinism/christianity.....taking the dessert and leaving the meal. That is the modus operandi of christianity: keep a version of the Ten Commandments throw in the homosexuality provision sprinkle in some Pauline non-biblical rules & regulations and you end up with a concoction that was never taught by Jesus nor the original Jerusalem Jesus Movement.
You also end up with a severe lack of basic understanding of the founding document by which Jesus taught from.
My guy has 5 tats. One on his calf, one on each shoulder blade and one on each bicep, all based on the work of his favorite artist/writer. Of course, the only way to see them all is if he is wearing shorts and a wife heater, which you would not do in an interview.
I currently have no tats, but have a couple I am considering.
Get smart lady, and forgo the tats; they are disgusting.
“I’m not hiring some side show freak to represent my company.”
I don't have any tats myself and never expect to get one, but I withhold judgment of those who have them. I've known too many good people with ink to do otherwise.
Merchant marine deck officers and engineering officers mostly certainly are sir.
Can somebody explain to me why so many people get those nose studs in the crease of their nostril that look exactly like an infected whitehead?
AMEN brother! I'll never understand the appeal of the damn things. Of course, I'm probably older than dirt anymore.
More employers need to filter out the freak show wannabes.
Nothing turns my stomach more that some food server with one of those booger dripping nose rings handing over my food.
While anyone is free to do what they want to their body, I should also be free to be disgusted with them and not want to have them around.
The one way street of tolerance has got to stop and those of us with better taste need our values to receive as much acceptance as those who want to push the civilized behavior envelope.
Piercing and tattoos speak volumes about a person’s ability to make life choices and if I am going to employ someone I want those who make better decisions and YES there are many who have not mangled what God created.
So are the commands to sacrifice on the alter God's commands. Do you sacrifice bulls and goats on a regular basis How about Turtle doves? If not, then on what basis do you rationalize your "buffet-line logic"? And if you don't believe the book authored by the Apostle Paul are God-Breathed scripture then we have no common basis from which to discuss theology.
“They have no choice, whole world is pierced or tattooed...”
I’m involved with a ministry that trains and sends missionaries into Papau New Guinea, among other remote places. The ministry takes the Christian gospel to isolated people groups who have never even heard the name of Christ before, places where cannibalism remains a threat.
I’m regularly struck that a segment of modern America looks like the pagan tribesmen from Papau New Guinea. They have colorful tattoos, stretched earlobes, holes through their noses, crazy hair, and heaven only knows what else. By and large those things are gradually left behind once a society becomes educated and “Christianized.” We live in a post-Christian nation that is rapidly abandoning the cultural norms of civilized Western nations. We are devolving as a people in large measure because Christianity is under assault.
I think that's it right there. Our acquaintance brent isn't coming from a position of Christian orthodoxy.
The apostate mainline churches no longer believe it either. They began to doubt the Bible in the early 1900’s. Today they not only accept, but promote all manner of moral depravity.
