While I have not been in America for almost ten years, I do watch American TV via my G-sat. My most popular channel is the History Channel. What shocks and amazes me is that most all of the women on all of the programs are slathered with Tattoos. Is this a new phenomena in America? Have women degraded themselves to such an extent? Some may think it cool. I think it is disgusting.
I am with you though, I find it disgusting. It looks dirty, IMO.
I was just talking about these (ahem) large women getting all these tattoos.
Is it just an acceptance that you never are going to lose weight? Because if you lost weight you'd distort the artwork. Weird.
“That’s a straw man argument.”
You must not know what a “strawman argument” is to say that and explain yourself as you did.
The fact is people do try to use clothing as status symbols. That is a fact, and it has nothing to do with slobbery.
“the problem is 54-year-old men who dress no differently than they did when they were 4 years old. “
I’ve known all kinds of extremely wealthy people with great class that do not wear suits to a baseball game. Funny how in life people become suit oriented in their 30’s but by the time they retire they throw away the monkey clothes. Just what possesses people to wear neckties in the first place? Sure, I know the history of neckties, but why wear them now? Dumbest clothing item people wear without question. Sheeple.
Tramp stamps are the line work at the hips.
Yes I know, my daughter has one (sadly).
AKA Ass Antlers.
IMHO, this whole tat craze was started by Dennis Rodman about 20 years ago. Before that, one seldom saw such a proliferation of tats. I’m 71 now and alternately wish that I’d got a couple on my upper arms while in the military and am also damned glad that I didn’t. Tats don’t look good on flab.
You can’t run or fight while wearing flip-flops.
Exactly. I was talking about slobbery, and you set up the dressing for status phenomenon as a straw man.
Do they wear big, floppy, wrinkled cargo shorts, flip flops, and over-sized message shirts hanging out over their guts? That's what I'm talking about. The kind of attire suitable for gardening in the back yard.
I haven't worn a suit in years, but I don't go out in public looking like Charlie Brown on a bender.
I agree with everything you wrote. I did not mean to suggest YOU were determining your education via tv.
That is how many people determine their on going information. I watched the history channel a few times. It was a real education on propaganda.
“You can’t run or fight while wearing flip-flops.”
maybe not, but combat can lead to better flip flop design and build: http://www.combatflipflops.com/
Alex is only dissing the USA about tattoos but he hasn't been here in years and isn't coming back (thank goodness).
I guess he doesn't get out much in the Philippines or he would know his chosen 3rd world country natives are “slathering” on the tattoos. Anything that happens there is just peachy to Alex, so he spends his time looking for something else he can use to vomit on our country.
Dog friends, he's still the same - Alex is a POS. That is my opinion, your mileage may vary.
To the wise man, tramps stamps indicate that package is not for you.
come on. the self-degradation doesn’t just begin there.
the last 55 years has been about females (and males) degrading themselves under the false sell of ‘empowerment’ and ‘you deserve it’.
sex without consequences was sold to women. slut pride. you now pay for my birth control. fund my abortions. pay for my std medicine and treatment. support my bastard children i keep pumping out from various guys i won’t stop sleeping with.
you go get yours, girl. then let uncle sugar reward you with others’ stuff.
meth. and location next to a bar helps.
they would if their phone told them to.
We have canvasses and paper for static artwork. Not living skin.
see, adding decoration to crap really makes the crap better.
those lines on the scooter make it a better scooter. it goes faster and gets better mileage and makes a lot more people want to have it.
ditto the goth gal.
