Opinion of Strippers

[kyenrac]

With all this Fuss about stipper Mom I was wondering what everyones opinion of stippers are?

Piercings rule! Trying to get my wife to get some more.

My Uncle got his tattoo on the Jersey Shore in 1978. He has done nothing to maintain it since.

10-4, I just hate it when some people here get on their high horse. For instance the people that preach all week and then get $hit faced Saturday night only to wake up and go to church on Sunday for forgiveness & then lay their holier than thou crap upon us mere mortals come Monday morning.

Reminds me of a Billy Holiday lyric:

If I attend church on Sunday, Then cabaret on Monday, 'Tain't nobody's business if I do.

Its old, and ink has made big advances since then. Plus beach town tattooists are notoriously bad. Cater to tourists, get them done as fast as possible and get the next guy in the chair.

At age 37 last saturday I got my first tattoo, it's a Viking. It's a real cool tattoo but it's fairly conservative for a tattoo, no snakes or offensive things. Afterall it is permenant.

Last week as I was getting my first tattoo, I was reading some literature on peircings. At first it was ear rings and the such but then it went into genital peircings and man I don't think that I could have somebody pierce my schlong. Oh man that hurts just thinking about it, one guy had made a smiley face out of ear rings on his you know what.

[Phantom Lord]

I was speaking of piercings on women! Though I do have 5 earrings and my right nipple pierced.

[HELLRAISER II]

I spent 2 hours and 15 minutes in the chair for my Viking head. It wasn't terrible but it was uncomfortable, just this side of bareable.

[Phantom Lord]

My next tattoo will most likely have skulls in it. Love skulls. Have a sizable collection of them. My mother in law got me a skull bride & groom set for a wedding gift.

[HELLRAISER II]

Man you sound just about as wild as me, how did we ever turn out to be Conservatives?

[Phantom Lord]

All depends on where you get the tattoo. Some parts of the body are incredibly painful. Some there is virtually no pain, especially when doing the shading.

TEND YOUR OWN GARDEN!

Does that mean enforcing dress codes on individuals other than yourself is a bad thing?

[HELLRAISER II]

Yes they had those in the books to, don't you know it would hurt to have one of those yanked out. Owwwwww!

[HELLRAISER II]

I got mine on the outside of my arm, it wasn't to bad. But I could see that a barbwire or tribal band around my arm and more importantly under my arm is going to be a bitch. My brother has one on his ankle and he has a tribal band & he said they both hurt like hell.

[Clemenza]

Well, you're talking to someone who believes that schools should be "voluntary associations" whose members can decide whether they want a dress code or not (like a company). Of course, with out government schools, the situation is quite different.

[Phantom Lord]

People think my odd for being a conservative. Tattoos, piercings, heavy metal freak, combat boot wearing, black jeans and leather wearing, and formerly had long hair dyed funny colors. There are far more of us than 'mainstream' conservatives know or like to admit.

My wife will describe me to friends and co-workers who have never met me and they just dont see her being married to the description of me. She always ends the description with "he cleans up well."

I remember in my college days when I was home for the summer I was a member of En-Joie Golf Club, where they play the BC Open on the PGA Tour. I would show up in the morning and have the starter hook me up with a group that needed a 3rd or 4th. There i was, earrings, colored long hair, giant tribal tattoo on my calf and the people i got paired with would just look at me strange. Then I would go out and kick their ass by shooting between 68 and 75. They couldnt believe it. They were always like, 'where did you come from?"

Same with professors and classmates in college. They saw a 'freak' who most assuradly had to be a liberal. Then I opened my mouth. They didnt know what to think.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

I love them. Of course, whenever I spend more than 10 minutes in a strip club they depress the living hell out of me. There are a thousand million stories in a strip club, none of 'em very life-affirming.

Want to frustrate the hell out of a stripper? When she comes for you down the catwalk, look her dead in the eyes instead of oogling her attributes.

[HELLRAISER II]

I'm a head banger too, bring on AC/DC, Boston, Judas Priest & Van Halen. I've see them all in Concert, I to used to have long hair to after I got out of banking. Then I raised Cattle for a living for 5 years but had to go back to what I knew how to do. So now i'm back to banking & the pony tail had to go, oh well. I have Conservative Values and I don't fault those for Super Conservative values but at some point if we want to get the Liberals & the undecided to our side we cannot set everything in Concrete. We need to be able to bend & negotiate to keep people in our corner and being Prudes & uncompromising does not help our cause.

[HELLRAISER II]

Easier said then done.

Well, you're talking to someone who believes that schools should be "voluntary associations" whose members can decide whether they want a dress code or not (like a company).

That's fine but you seemed to be implying that one shouldn't comment on the dress codes of other groups, but that same logic didn't apply to members within the groups.

So an atheist, say, shouldn't tell a Christian how to dress, but a Christian could tell another Christian how to dress.

And actually, getting back to the original poster's question, can strippers be "good people." Frankly, I think an atheist opinion on that subject is as valid as any religionist's (well, since I am an atheist, I believe my opinion is MORE valid. :-)

From my Libertarian perspective, a "good person" is anyone who doesn't engage in or advocate the initiation of aggression or fraud against any other person. So I assume there are plenty of strippers, and prostitutes for that matter, who are non-aggressive individuals, and therefore "good people."

Doesn't mean I'd like 'em all. Some people are jerks. They have weird tastes. They are annoying. Etc. But on the scale of "basic goodness" they still make the grade.
