    You're assuming I'm Muslim for some reason.....?


    Again, this is entirely different. Those are actions based on beliefs. However, piercings are usually actions that cause beliefs (people to act like dumbasses and become liberals)

    No I am not assuming anything I am just trying to show you that making a general assumption about someone or a group of people is usually not a good thing. I fail to see how getting a piercing causes a belief, in fact most people get piercings because they believe in the freedom of expression. Would you want to be clumped together into a stereotype. What if someone said from What I know all people who are named (you name here) are less intelligent then everyone else. Would you be okay with that, if so then I guess thats cool with me, but if you would be against that then your a hypocrite.

    People who get piercings won't have a problem with others who get full body piercings and tattooos.......so it makes them more willing to accept stupid shit

    Are you okay with people lumping you into a group and judging you based their experience and/or opinions of someone who meets a general criteria that you yourself are a part of?

    No, but that's stereotyping. People who get piercings are actually DOING something

    I do see it but those who get piercings aren't against people who pierce their whole bodies

    How do you know that? You dont, your just assuming that, so if some people agree with something that you dont you clump them all together as bad? Really? because thats just a display of ignorance.

    No, the action of piercing one's body is immoral

    I'm not sure if this television show comes on where you're from, but there's a show called "Miami Ink" on one of the cable channels. There are a ton of people who get tattoos depicting family members, things they believe in, life events, and to memorialize the dead. I remember one guy had his "racing number" tattooed on his arm from the times he ran marathons.

    If that show represents the proper cross section of the tatooed consumer, I'd say the minority are nihilists

    Also (I know this is the piercing thread, but I'm posting this just to demonstrate a point)

    domesticated, that's why I specifically said "for religious or ceremonial purposes is ok"

    Ahh, so you would just want to determine based on your views what is an acceptable form of self expression? Well I'm glad your view point is a very small minority where I live.

    Agreed.

    BTW -- here a fun list of pictures to sift through --- although still a bit off topic from "piercings"

    Scarification is the grossest thing ever; it’s like decorative self harm.

    “No, but most of them are probably arrogant dumbasses and probably love doing drugs or something

    Just saying”
    Most ‘stars’ have problems with drugs and things because of the media and life. Its nothing to do with the music they like to play.

    Piercings also have religion based values

    Piercings have nothing to do with being ‘dumbasses’ is a personal choice.

    Have you ever even met these people you love to put down so much? They could be nice people ‘just like you’. Did you ever think of that? You put up such a big defence because you do not understand this ‘new’ thing and it scares you. Why cant you just look at it from someone else’s view?
