When I was in the USMC back in the 80's the big joke was parting hair in the Middle and drinking Grape Soda, had to be a doper
Strange thing though is they usually were. :eek:
:)
The bottom line is only the left wing adgenda is exceptable today, any other view point makes a person ...... Well you get it.
It's strange how blatant it has become. No one tries to hide their views anymore. Not even government employees and entertainers. No other viewpoint is acceptable and they feel a real duty to shut down other views. People being who they are tend to not want to conform. Watching My son and nephews friends grow into adulthood shows me that more are turning into hard right wingers in reaction to having left only views allowed in schools and on social media, news etc.and are sick of it being stuffed down their throats. That is human nature and part of me is glad of it. :)

Joe,
I agree 100%.
I am so sick of having the left wing agenda shoved down my throat everywhere I look and in every aspect of my life.
Makes me want to scream you know. :eek:
And yes it is blatant to the point of being disgusting.
And I am not a radical right wing person either, more Central really so I can't even imagine how the far right feels.
I think more and more people are getting done with it. It seems more widespread than it probably is since the left owns most of the communications, media and entertainment outlets. To paraphrase Newton, “every action has an equal and opposite reaction.”

I just don't know, the young ones I have spoken with face to face are all Left Wing Socialists... Who buy into it 100%.
That is NOT GOOD.
TV is getting so bad I have stopped watching a lot of shows and don't watch MOST of the new ones, it's really pathetic. It's like they sit in a room and make sure they inject every Liberal agenda they can into the shows. Makes me sick to my stomach......
In a democracy, values can wax and wane over the years and generations. There are worse things than your misguided liberals
I agree with the first part. The second not so much. We aren't talking about traditional liberal values. Those would be my constitutional libertarian beliefs that are now considered "conservative" in the American system . We are speaking about Stalinist and now more common Maoist thought labeled as "progressive" to hide what it really is. For years that type attempted to run for office concealed as center left " liberal" politicians. Those are not what these guys are. Their whole plan of action would be loosely based on Frankfurt school theory and the spin offs such as Alinsky ( Rules for Radicals etc.).

I have many tattoos myself but still haven't gotten my head around neck, face and hand tattoos.. (Maori Ta Moko is an exception if you're in fact Maori)
When i have a suit/long sleeved shirt on none of my tattoos are showing. I tend to agree with the Japanese - show your tattoos if you want to, if not - don't :)
It's kinda funny, when i got my first tatto back in 1977 no reputable shop would tatto neck, face or hands since that was reserved for criminals, outcasts and whack jobs.. A lot has apparently happened since then, for better or worse, i don't know. I don't like them anyway.

Have a full sleeve right arm that can be hidden by a long sleeve shirt. Work a Gov job and it's not a issue (even with a short sleeve shirt.)
But I agree with the Japanese way of thinking and don't show them off to everyone.
Tattoo,s are very common with young ones today compared to the 70 and 80s it is very surprising whilst travelling around the world the amount of tattoos on young ones.
I have done some work with Australian and US military (all types Army, Navy etc) and these guys and girls have spent some time in a chair
Im a vegetarian as technically cows are made of grass and water.
I never got tattoos to look cool or to rebel or whatever. I genuinely have a love for the art that goes into it, and whether a person respects that art or just sees it as trash is irrelevant because it takes serious talent to do quality tattoos. Unfortunately there are a LOT of people out there who have no business tattooing and there are even more horrible tattoos out there as a result, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a beautiful art form. I wear long sleeves by choice most of the time, and all the time when I'm working. I understand that it's not for everyone and unfortunately people will always judge others for their appearance. I hate feeling like I've "given up" and just hide them but honestly it's just not worth my energy to defend myself anymore against small minded people.
I've decided none of my tattoos will be visible when wearing long sleeved shirts due to the prejudice against them and not wanting to limit my other opportunities.

Cultures change. But they change slowly. In 1962 longish hair on men was considered bad (stupid, unmanly, foppish, you name it) by mainstream western culture. My favorite C&W singer made his name with Okie from Muskogee. I went to the University of Oklahoma after two Navy tours. Grew my hair ridicululously long. So did Willie Nelson. I got more s*** than he did. Now, long hair is no big deal. But it took a number of decades for that to happen.
There are still long haired evil men and there will still be tattooed evil people long after tattoos are considered to be fashion and personal statements. Then the majority of the culture will easily recognize the difference.

David, that was another question I had about tattoos, the quality-level. Basically, as with all other things, from food to knives to cars and clothes, there must be some tattoo artists who really invest alot of time and talent and produce good quality versions, and those out there who do a rush job and not very good at it. How does one determine which is which? Is it like other things, looking into reviews and checking out the reputation and equipment?

Even reviews are misleading depending on the area. If you wanna check out some well known artists here are a few of my favorites..
Mike Dorsey (does all my work)
Bob Tyrell
Tom Renshaw
Paul Booth
Teresa Sharpe
Dino Cook
There are a lot really, and many of them have waiting lists that are several years. I guess the way you tell good from better from best is research. At the end of the day it's all "art" so beauty is in the eye of the beholder (for example Paul Booth's work is not my style at all but I respect his ability). I guess in a way you need to understand a little about art in general...line quality, color blending, shading, lighting, everything that would make an oil painting amazing applies to a quality tattoo.
