Tattoos in moderation are ok but people tend to go ott these days.
My wife has one which is lovely, small and really well done. It cost her a fortune as she wanted an artist.

:rofl2: SAVAGE!Let's sum up that thought process: "You mean to say that an eight-pound human being tore itself out of my body in a tsunami of blood, screams and faeces? Shit, I have to start writing this stuff down...” Tattoos maximus otter

It's THEIR bodies!

Indeed! But some go OTT imho. I retain my right to be a critic.
They stick out?Oh yeah, but being judgmental isn't cool.
Guess how many tattoos I have, and how prominent they are.

I'm not being judgemental, I just think you're a bad example to the youth of today.
Like those OAPs in seaside resorts where there are no bookshops but plenty of tattoo parlours.
How do you know I'm a bad example? Because I have tattoos? You don't know anything at all about my tattoos but you still think I'm a bad example? I'm surprised at you.

Scargie! I'm winding you up!
Forming judgements is a reflex action in human beings. We literally can't stop ourselves from doing so. Psych tests have proven the fact. For example, most people are unaware that babies are racist.
That depends on what you mean by "racist" — and it is more than a semantic distinction.
It is normal animal behaviour — and that includes humans of all ages — to make initial judgements of what is likely to be friendly or potentially dangerous on the basis of experience and of appearance. It is a survival trait, and it is utilised by some species which mimic others, for example the black and yellow striped hover fly that looks enough like a bee or wasp to discourage predators.
A baby has very little experience, and can only interpret those parts of someone else's appearance that it can recognise and categorise. For example, a baby can see if someone is black or white, and can compare this to their own skin colour or their mother's skin colour. However, they cannot tell whether someone is wearing designer glasses or cheap ones. They might react if someone is dirty enough to have an unpleasant smell, but they won't react to whether that person's shirt is ironed or not.
Therefore, it is well within the bounds of normal rational behaviour for a baby to react differently to people of different skin colour. No moral or political judgement is involved, and it is not "racist" in any meaningful sense.
At the other end of a spectrum of behaviour that involves making judgements about people based on their colour (or other visible characteristics) is something that we would all certainly call "racism" and which (I hope) we would all condemn. That is making a negative judgement about another person based solely on their ethnic characteristics, sticking to that judgement despite clear evidence that contradicts it, and treating that person unfavourably because of it.
I can't tell whether you are being serious.
That was the intention. I am actually very fond of the racist, polymorphously perverse, narcissistic little self-shitters. You can't re-educate them if they've never been educated, can you? Of course I am sure I will eventually see someone who is actually pushing this line of reasoning, as it is a mad and toxic time we are living in.
That's a rather silly game to play.
The documentary Surviving R Kelly ... claims that the R&B singer allegedly ran an "abusive cult" in which he is accused of keeping women captive, against their wills.
Exactly. Civilised behaviour is all about NOT responding to knee-jerk urges.People's desire to kill each other. Shitting on the floor. Driving other species to extinction. Do these things help us in this self-made edifice we call civilization? Big no.
A member of an Upstate New York “cult” has admitted to keeping her own personal slave locked in a room for two years, according to new reports.
The New York Post reports newly unsealed court documents revealed Lauren Salzman secretly pleaded guilty last week to charges of racketeering conspiracy for her involvement with the Colonie, N.Y.-based NXIVM.
People will join all sorts of weird cults and undergo humiliating indignities.
