I remember when elephant bell bottoms were the craze..
Oh someone sew my sides back up, they just split from that display of fantastic wit...
Your poor daughter, I only hope she's grown up to be a more liberated and accepting person than you. She wasn't asking you to be friends with that girl, and she certainly wasn't asking you to go and suspend yourself.
Before you make a statement like that, how about doing some reseach into piercing and tattoing guidelines. Oh, and the checks that are made to all premises, and the amount of time these TRAINED people spend learning their trade? Less people get infected in piercing and tattoo parlours than do in hospitals.
Keri,
Welcome to Free Republic!
I'm sure you'll love it here and make a lot of friends.
I'm sorry, but I'm failing to understand how having a clearly poorly raised son (narrow minded, showing examples of prejudice and discrimination, not to mention ill-mannered) is something to be proud of?
Whether you and your children choose to partake in body modification or not is your own choice, but no one ever gave you the right to prevent the next generation from accepting each others differences.
You don't want to scare the kitty with rude commentary, do you?
those pants that had the zipper that went all the way from the front to the back... BEST FASHION TREND EVER!!

Keri, you're charming sense of humor is satirical, a lot like Rush Limbaugh...you sound like you'll fit right in to Free Republic. Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.
with all the 'south park conservative' press going on, I think KOTH gets ignored.
south park is the hit you over the head with it version of making fun of liberalism...
King of the Hill tackles stupid liberalism and nanny-statism all the time...
like city council busy bodies and low flow toilets...
county stooges running roughshod over homeowners...
idiotic schools/schoolboards
girlie men enviromentalists...
and others that I am too tired to remember right now.
its probably too much work for people to write about it. South Park just shows a big payoff--KotH takes an entire episode to go through the cause and effects...
Notice the signs of inflammation around the piercings. This is setting the body up for a major case of infection that might not be easy to control. I hope they can pay the doctor bills.
I am sure you would like to muzzle anyone who doesn't agree with your point of view, and doing that via ideology is a nice sanitary way of censoring people like me. How is she not a freak? Why is it so horrible to classify certain people who engage in unhealthy obsessions? How will a child know the difference between NORMAL and ABNORMAL if it is not pointed out? I hope I am helping you to understand. There is a huge difference between teaching hate and defining norms.
Thank you but my son is not "poorly raised". He knows that all are created equal, but he is not blind that some people who look different ARE different, have different values and engage in immoral behavior.
You teach your kids to have NO judgment, I will teach mine to have GOOD judgment.
And when your dies of AIDS or comes home gay you can just rest in the blissful fact that you taught him to accept others differences and make them his own, as for me, I do not feel the slightest bit of guilt or concern over your attack. You seem to think you can judge how I raise my kid? Well, doesn't that mean you are making a judgment call? Shame on YOU for judging me. Bigot.
What the...
I guess these folks are never intending to get bounced out of a drinking establishment....The handle would just be too tempting.
They just want to be different...just like everyone else.
What?
No, but I do firmly believe that sometimes physical and mental ability affect personal appearance.
Well said, Smokin' Joe.
True, but some skin just shouldn't be pierced. Shudder.
Which statement do you refer to? You should check the CDC records of Hepatitis C infections traced to tattoo parlors. I am not talking about absolute numbers, but the incidence of infection.
I understand the art methods--I have tattooed 100s of cattle, pigs, and sheep, placed eartags in cattle and nose-rings in pigs. There is nothing new under the sun. People into tattoos and rings of all sorts have simply copied livestock marking methods that have been used for centuries. I am waiting for the removal of fingers, toes, hands and feet to demonstrate some real and original differences.
