I wouldn't say that this is the same as wearing long hair or putting on some bell-bottom blue jeans. This is disturbing self-mutilation to seek attention and not a harmless fashion statement to fit in with the rest of
a generation. I asked a relative of mine a few years ago that had a boyfriend at the time who was doing this type of thing why anyone would want to do this to themselves. She told me that it was the only way they could feel alive... by causing pain and injury to themselves and the image of themselves. I told her to get a life. She has since come to her senses, ditched the boyfriend, and gotten a college degree and is making her mark in the world. Who the fuck would hire a bozo with a split tongue, nose bones, pierced everything and who keeps asking if you want to see his split penius? Just my opinion. 8)

And not a very open-minded one at that. What does a person's tongue, split or not, have to do with their ability to perform a given task?Who the fuck would hire a bozo with a split tongue, nose bones, pierced everything and who keeps asking if you want to see his split penius? Just my opinion
Whatever happened to the American notion of freedom anyway? Life? Liberty? The pursuit of happiness?
Ah, don't answer that. We all know what happened.

I agree!
Yes I agree with Calgodot, a very narrow minded opinion!!!
It shouldnt matter what someone looks like, its what they are and what that do that defines them!
My dad used to own a building company, and some of his workers had piercings, huge motobikes and hair to there arse!
Do you know what tho? ALL of the bikes that used to work for him were the NICEST MEN you will ever meet, and all so gentle!
As for me, well Look at my photo , thats me wearing my suit, but you know what??? I HAVE MY COCK PIERCED!!! Yep I have a Prince Albert Piercing, and love it, and im the nicest bloke youll meet!
I got it dont at university cos other guys who surf have it done and I LOVE IT!
So we shouldnt judge books by there covers i guess!

Who said the guy couldn't do that to himself? Yeah, he's free to do whatever he wants to himself. I was only making the point that this is
not a generational thing. I was also expressing my freedom to comment on how I feel about such mutilation of oneself. I also liked to point out that a person lives with the choices one makes in life, to think that people will always accept you no matter what is unrealistic to say the least. That goes especially in the work place. People with so much talent they are unreplaceable are very, very few and far between. Given the choice, most employers will choose the individuals that fit their ideals, talent being equal, every time. If you do not agree, color your hair green and put a bone through your nose before your next job interview with a major corporation and see if you get hired. Ever.

Re: Making America Proud, Leugers
A lot, in my opinion. I think that there are signs of good and bad judgement that you can sense about a person in how they treat themselves and others around them. As David pointed out, there is a distinction here between a mere fashion statement and actual distructive tendencies or proceeding down paths that have clearly not been thought out well. I am all for non-discrimination but, realistically, anyone that works for me also comes into contact with my clients at some point so it isn't just me that has to be tolerant and understanding. Personally, I don't feel like putting my prospective clients through a character profile survey just to make a sale if they are deemed "open minded enough".calgodot wrote:What does a person's tongue, split or not, have to do with their ability to perform a given task?
In theory, a person could drink swill, never bathe and show up with head lice dropping all around them like popcorn and, perhaps, be considered skilled enough for the job at hand. But, in the real world, the job at hand isn't the only thing that they will be dealing with. They won't be isolated from the rest of society that, as unfair as it might seem, aren't "into" headlice as a fashion statement.
Do I equate good personal hygiene with good judgement? You bet.

Could be worth thinking about that personal hygiene thing that's been brought up. I wonder if any of these piercings or procedures has produced a new strain of a venereal disease like problem. It seems to me Group A Streptococcus can live on poorly sterilized surgical steel. Most of these piercings involve some invasive metal object. Couldn't get worse than having some important bits become prey to flesh eating bacteria and fall off. This discussion does start with "Wayyyyy off...." :?schvatz wrote:I bet that she'd be a pretty mean lay!
