Inkless

It's called prejudice or stereotyping.

 

are you a Jehovah witness or something?

 

I don't think I have encountered a real JW on this site so far. Only some twats who fake being one.

 

It's still true that if you have visible tattoos, you will have trouble finding a good job in most professions.

 

Do you know that organization is an exposed cult who has an extremely dodgey history in which it's leaders have being corrupt. The Jehavah witness bible is not something that you want to take seriously if you know what's good for you.

Am I perfect. Course not. But one thing I will never back out of is the testimony that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Does that make me religious? If you talking about charity, then that's my religion being charitable. Charitable with my time in expressing my views, with my money. Anything else I can do to show that I am serious about my loyalty. Have I been insulted? nothing but a barrage of berating insults constantly. Does it bother me? Sometimes it's a little disconcerting to see people's hatred when they don't have a good reason for it. But I feel compassion for them because they don't have the peace of the gospel and it makes them lost and they will decieve themselves.

 

All organizations are cultured. Man is creatively conceived. The breath goes in and out of the body and in so doing the body becomes a communication device. Body art is a communication and it says something you want to express and many feel it says something about you. What others feel about your expression is hearsay.

What do you feel your connection to the body is?

 

The sky is blue and the grass is green. I'm sterotyping according to your logic. Someone has stolen a car, they are a thief. Now I'm prejudice according to your logic.

When something is sensible and factual, and rational. That is the opposite of sterotyping and prejudice. China speaks chinese. That's not sterotyping that's general conclusion of facts. A abusive person is unpleasant. That's not prejudice because it's everyones experience and it's what we know. Likewise what I said about tattoos can be verified. Think about it, your skin is an organ that protects you. Injecting permanent ink into it with a needle is not just a form of self harm. It's a disfigurement. Even if it's a pretty picture of a skull or whatever. What is not clear about that. What is not clear about the fact you wouldn't tattoo wide screen television screen. That's not it's purpose you are using it for something other than a canvas. To say that you need to be drawn upon or modified, is an irrational argument. The only reason it is tolerated is because you can't stop people from being ridiculious if they insist on doing something wrong.

 

It's not 'body art' its a horror to see it on someone. I went to a concert not long ago and there was this very attractive lady near me, and I saw a tattoo of flowers down her arm. It really did spoil her beauty and made me realize the sad truth of it. Her innocence and sensibility out the window. It doesn't look good, no matter how fancy the tattoo is. It just mades you into a statement that says "I like to be a bad person and here is the ink to prove it".

you call yourself thedope. And I would say your mind is completely doped up on something, cause you make no sense whatsoever to me with your vain philosophies. if you can't see that a tattoo is tacky there is little hope for you anyway.

 

So you are Christian.
What denomination?

 

This thread is not meant to be about me. It's about tattoos and their legitimacy. And I think it's pretty much finished as a discussion now don't you? I've made myself clear. Many others have said their views on it. Now we can move on without getting into a silly argument hopefully.

 

A tattoo is a design tattooed on the skin. Whether or not that design is artistic is a matter of taste for which there is no accounting. Ugly is not a fact of nature but a measure given and received. We haven't even gotten to philosophies yet sweet boy. We are attending first to a very basic level of apprehension. You say you receive a constant barrage of insults but I only encounter various degrees of ignorance.

I asked you what you felt your connection to the body is?

 

Wrong. Beauty is not subjective as much as it is objective. You don't see people like me getting lots of chicks because beauty is 'subjective'. I have not got much hate on here but I only started posting here. I'm talking about generally in my life. The connection to your body is very simple and it's not a mystery. It's your life and your sustenance, it's what allows you to live in this world or to do anything. There's no greater disrespect than to graffiti the one thing created for you as a gift that is a priceless thing.

 

How much?

 

I am inkless, too, so I think it is a good thing, but whatever anyone else wants to do their own body is fine with me. I have no piercings, either.....
I tried those washable off tattoos once that you can buy in dollar stores....that was fun for a day.

 

It depends how righteous you are. If you are a righteous person, your perception won't be warped and you will apreciate real beauty in clarity. If you are an evil person. your perception will be warped and you will find ugly things as beautiful.

You think you are the teacher here. This is acceptable to me because I find it amusing. And I guess a thread is never over until its over

 

Hummm, My connection to it is to communicate with life. My life is given me through conception. It is the breath, spirit, going into the body that animates it or allows me to do anything with it. It does not get up and walk around of it's own accord but as I bid it.

 

Don't ask me things for the sake of giving an answer, that's one of the most basic violations of communication you could understand as a principle. I don't need to say my opinion. It's not a requirement. I say things when asked. You say things not to communicate, but to try express what you see as profound wisdom. You are not wise, you are not even close. I'm not wise either, but atleast I admit it. least I admit it....

 

I think that your reply is a teaching you provide. I'm glad you have the capacity to accept or appreciate. My hope is that you may find reason to extend that capacity as we find those most agreeable whom we agree with. God created the world and only god is good and only god then is the good judge.
Judge not lest you be judged but rather use right judgement. Blessed are those who thirst and hunger after righteousness for they shall be satisfied, not offended.

The eye is the lamp of the body, if the eye be sound, if you see the true picture, the whole body will be full of light. But if the light in you be darkness or ugliness then how great the darkness.

 

You answered for me in saying, "The connection to your body is very simple and it's not a mystery. It's your life and your sustenance, it's what allows you to live in this world or to do anything." I straightened out the record as to how i conceive my connection. You are saying things to accuse. Let he who is blameless cast the first stone for justice.

 

Answer if you are amenable, If your body provides all these things, then where does god fit in?
