Read Ann Coulter's "Godless" again. People need moral ordinances, and since the classic sins have been declared virtues by the Left, they had to distract the masses by directing moral opprobrium against something else.
Years back my son did a science fair project with plants and red dye, it turned out pretty interesting.
The pansy watered with several drops of red food coloring added, the one watered with several drops of Rit fabric dye lived and it didn’t much discolor the flower petals (white) though the leaves became much darker.
Of the white carnations kept in the dyed water, the food color was taken up better than the fabric dye. I don’t recall the details all that well anymore, it has been a long time since then.
I’ve always wondered since his experiment about tattoo dye, when it is done in the extreme. I can’t say much, I love Sweet&Low and most all diet drinks—sugary drinks make my mouth feel yucky. I smoke and quit and smoke again...hahahaha talk about yuck mouth :p. This is unhealthy but I do it.
What a strange tattoo for such an non-warrior looking arm.
so you are saying that tattoos are “evil”? Just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly. And if tattoos are “evil” anyone who has on or two or a dozen is also “evil”? Please check me if I’m wrong in my understanding of what you are trying to convey.
*the one with food coloring died.
....I get so frustrated with me
It’s a modern, mechanized war.
Disgusting. Yes. Insanely disgusting. A few months ago we went to a reptile expo. I never saw so many people covered with tattooes—many on their faces and scalps. It was a freak show. I spent more time looking at people than I did the exotic reptiles. When I was growing, especially as teenagers, we did everything we could to make ourselves look attractive to the opposite sex. Now it seems as though everyone is in a rush to make himself look as disgusting as possible. It breaks my heart especially to see this vile graffiti on young women.
Maybe I’ll do that while it rains all weekend. It’s been a while.
Maybe the young women are trying to drive men away. It could be that your reaction of distaste is exactly what they want.
For me, too.
The modern stigma with smoking isn’t that it is immoral, but that it is so low class and stupid, something for the ignorant and those lacking self-control.
Today it is similar to being a sloppy fat person, people’s respect for a smoker drops a notch, especially when watching them having to go outside in the cold,and all the other adjustments they make to their life and the lives of people with them, that and the daily cost makes you realize how desperately addicted and hopeless they are.
The Old Testament is the Law, the New Testament is Grace.
I have stated my position, if you beleive tattoos are sinful, don’t get one.
As I have said people get tattoos for all sorts of reasons and I listed some.
We are not to judge a person’s heart, apparently you are assigning ‘sin’ to people with tattoos - that’s not your job.
Remember the 1990s? For a while it was considered hip and cool for young women to chomp on cigars. That, too, was a major turn off (at least for me).. I’m glad that fad ended and you don’t see it very much anymore. I can only hope that this tattoo craze is only a fad.
I see a lot of people also get tattoos but in a conservative vein and in that I mean, putting it on the lower leg, I’ve seen the IXOYE Christian fish symbol there, I think people’s universities, maybe interests like track. Lower leg area is often not seen at all. I don’t judge a person negatively on tattoos. Stereotypically, one could say yes, a lot of people with tattoos are in gangs or anti-establishment or whatever but certainly not all.
Everything goes away and comes around again. When the Global Economic Collapse hits, most people will have different priorities.
Eating shellfish and wearing clothing of mixed fibers are also prohibited in the Bible.
“As mentioned above they are prohibited in the Bible.”
Not that the Torah doesn’t have value for all peoples, but techinically, only Jewish people are prohibited from tattoos.
The Laws of Noah (the portions of the Law applicable to non-Jewish peoples) don’t mention tattoos at all, unless they are part of a heathen practice (which they generally are, I agree).
I pinged ZC because he might be helpful in explaining what, if any, extension this law has on non-Jewish peoples.
Well, yes, you see it breaks the epidural and goes through the ink.
I do believe an epidural is delivered into or very near the spine as a nerve block during child birth, but I’m not a medical professional, although I have read of this specific medical concern.
I have had an epidural, the needle is 832 feet long (looks that way while in labor, probably about three inches long)
I have a tattoo and the needle length was about 1/8 of an inch.
A tattoo needle could not reach the spine.
Nobody I know respects a person less because they smoke so this generalization is therefore incorrect. If this is your personal opinion then you are, of course, entitled to it.
Since you dislike smoking I'm not sure why you have a problem with a smoker stepping outside to smoke, but okay.
