Droopy, ever since Scratch released the hit piece forcing Smith to release, you have gone balistic.
WTF is up with you resurrecting old threads? Can't you just start a new thread and quote from it?
Seriously, chill your ass out. You're like a monkey in a box.
A fouler nest could not be imagined.

That's the point: up until the late sixties-early seventies era, tattooing and body piercing existed primarily among marginal outré subcultures and elements of the lower socioeconomic strata of American society, and was only domesticated over time, since the sixties, as a matter of significant shifts in values and philosophy that matured after that period.
I should also point out that this entire post was a mistake. I was going back over my old posts in the archives, and found this one, which had a number of spelling errors. I was just correcting them for the heck of it, and pressed the "submit" button, and here it is, back from 2006.
Ignore if you feel so inclined.
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us

Tattoos exploded in the 90's, not the 60's. Baby Boomers, oddly enough, are the ones responsible for the very impression of tattoos Droopy embraces. For them, tattoos were more associated with biker gangs, military vets, prisoners, etc. Remember, a hippy in 1968's experience with tattoos is much more likely to be his buzzcutted father's WWII tat. It took the generation after them, Gen X'ers, for tattoos to enter mainstream American society on a larger scale.

Thanks for this. Missed it back in '06. Defenders of the Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are cool.
No slam dunks! Ever. 1st one gets a 'T'. Another one, Ejected.
Defend everything. It all matters. No argument, regardless of how trivial, is worth the reputation of the Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day. Win every confrontation, especially the ones you start (or disappear for 6 years), but...
Never, Never, Never give up; or admit you're wrong, or change your mind, or vote (D).
Even when Packer scolds kids for the 'slippery slope' of teasing their hair, don't let criticism of that or any criticism of the Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints just slide.
Go get 'em Tigers! It's working. Swimmingly.
...and I'm a Mormon. lol
