So tell us your thoughts on women showing their legs above the ankle with those disgusting “miniskirts” and “shorts”, or women
wearing trousers at all. Or those two-piece bathing suits? Positively Scandalous.
And now, tell us all what form of personal expression is NOT “disgusting”?
What forms of expression may we use that has your seal of approval? What about those patchouli smelling hippies who show up at Shakori Hills?
Patchouli is not a substitution for bathing, or am I making a sweeping, bigoted generalization there? Tye Dye? they Must be a bunch of ‘shroom eatin’ pot-heads, right?
Tattooing and Piercing of various forms has been a part of human culture almost as long as there has been human culture. And your comment on piercings being a “sad effort for an individual to be noticed” could and was also said about the aforementioned bikini, trousers and shorter than ankle length skirts.
And as someone who has seen far more than his fair share of corpses in all states of decomp, I can attest that NO ONE makes and attractive corpse…
and I can also tell you that the odds are about 50/50 that you’ll die in an embarrassingly awkward position, in your underwear or naked. Very few people die in a position of peaceful repose, fully clothed, hair coiffed and makeup just so.
Today is my 64th Birthday and I WISH I could wear one of those disgusting mini skirts or the booty shorts. I still LOVE them and applaud the kids with the bodies to wears them. As for tatoos, I got my first one at age 56, and I love it too. I was all into the hippie environment when it was make love not war, flower children etc; It was a much better time then and we DIDN’T wear saggy pants!!
