it has become part of the lesson plan in her class "Johnny will leave this system at age 18 unable to do multiplication, division, or read anything longer than a highway sign. But he'll know all about tattoos, interesting and unusual sexual habits, and will be socialized to the level of civic responsibility of a Hobbesian state-of-nature savage, and unprepared to fulfill any role in society, save that of welfare recipient or petty criminal."
"Thank you for your confidence in the Boston schools. Have a nice day."

I don't understand the appeal of tattoos. Same goes for all the body-piercing that is going on these days. Why would somebody want to permanently mutilate their body?

I've got a full-body tattoo.
It was done with invisible ink.
I'm thinking about having it removed.Is that lifted from Steven Wright, the comedian?

So you can come to my invisible ink tattoo removal clinic. I will subject you to excruciating ordeals and charge you a ton of money to have your entire whole body tattoo removed. And we'll both be happy! Call my office for an appointment.
That sounds similar to a Church of Scientology auditing session where they promise to remove the body Thetans from you and charge you a lot to do so.

One of the things that I really adore about my girlfriend is that she has not one tattoo or piercing (aside from earrings). I think she's absolutely gorgeous and I'm so delighted there's been no ink or rings applied to her....
I don't think tattoos look good on women. My ex-wife had several. Go figure... then again perhaps it's the voice of experience speaking now. :)

"Investing in a chain of tattoo-removal clinics right about now would be a way to become filthy rich in about 10-15 years."I'd rather find an inventor to fund who is just this close to patenting a tattoo ink that can be made invisible with 5 minutes of exposure to a specifice sound frequency or wavelength of light.
Eraseable, "permanent" tattoos, a sure money-maker

Tattoos are a fad right now. More popular than in recent decades. I think there's nothing wrong with getting kids used to that.
Which means that in 40 years from now you will have "ocean" of old ladies walking around with wrinkly tattoos!!!

So she has one, and it's visible. Fine. But I don't need my four-year-old getting a step-by-step lesson in tattoo "art."
Don't be surprised if she not also will teach them how to put on a condom!??!

Do the world a favor. Don't have kids.
What a positively awful thing to say.
To: Robert Teesdale
probably. It is a fad. Time will pass and these gals will be having them removed.
To: JCEccles
Tattoos are no longer a mark of individuality but conformance. The truly rebellious youth will keep his flesh pristine.
Well put, and I agree.

I read this thread, mysterio, and I agree with you. That truly was an awful thing to say. Those who think they are high 'n mighty usually tend to be lower 'n weak. ;)

Well, I guess I have been a tactless jerk in the past when responding to someone with a different opinion, so I can't fault you for being the same.
To: mysterio
You said:
I don't know. I think kids that age would think it's neat. I don't think it damages them or anything. I really don't know, though. I'm not a parent yet. Maybe I'll feel differently when I am.I do not think your comment is tactless. I think it is dangerously nieve. Cutting and scarring does no damage to 4 yr olds! You lack any understanding of childhood trauma.

We aren't talking about kids self-mutilating. We are talking about someone getting a tattoo. Didn't you have a grandpa in WWII? Or an uncle or something? Didn't you think it was neat when you saw the tattoo? And if so, did it traumatize you?
I saw plenty of veterans with those tattoos as a kid. And it didn't screw me up. Hell, I don't even have a tattoo or a piercing.

That is precisely what we are talking about. The teacher explains about the needles, the pain, the sensitivity, etc etc. I guarantee you there are children sticking themselves with needles as a result of this goulish show and tell.
