your some self rightous fool arnt you with your head obviously stuck right up your arse, iveread a few of your posts and frankly think you need to pull your head in and realise that you arent Gods gift like you think you are , your more of a loser than the guy with the tatoo probably why you spend so much time online instead of living in the real world with real people grow up the world would be a better place without stuck ups like yourself
I consider myself far from perfect, and I don't believe in God so I don't see how I could be his gift.
I spend a great deal of time living in the real world. I spent last weekend stuffing a guy in a body bag and scrubbing his blood and brains off my boots, pants and arms. A few weeks earlier I had the joy of seeing two little kids off to the hospital, one without a pulse and the other close enough. I've gotten a little 'realer' than that, but I don't talk about that one often. But whatever. It comes with the work and for the most part doesn't bother me.
I put a lot of effort in to my profession and having a clean, respectable image to go with it, because so far in life, work is the only thing I'm really good at besides English. If you've read so many of my posts, you would know that I've admitted to being very judgmental based on how people dress. I even said right there I think very conservatively about attire and appearance. You would also have known that I've been trying to work on that and see past people's clothes, and have had some success. But I still draw the line at degenerates who, themselves, need to pull their head out of their ass and stop living in a sheeple fantasy world.
You would also have known that I can't relate to 90% of my generation and have immense problems connecting with anybody outside of my professional environment. I literally have no friends who are not firefighters or EMTs, or offspring of said friends. The only other friends I had were coworkers at another job and I don't really see them anymore. My free time is spent working on job-related projects, or riding the trails on my bike to blow off stress, stay in shape, and cope with the anxiety that I've had problems with since I was a teenager. If I travel, it's alone, to go test for another job.
So yes. I spend a lot of time online, to talk to people who I can relate to, who I care about because they are decent and have the same problems as myself. I vent a lot of my frustrations here, because the people here are the only ones I know who are intelligent enough to understand the nature of my bitching and provide intelligent feedback. And just like I've admitted to being judgmental about clothes, I've admitted that I am opinionated, for better or for worse. I am passionate about a lot of things. Maybe that's part of why I have trouble outside of work. I'm not as apathetic or willfully ignorant as most of the people my age in my area. It's frustrating.
And yes, I have perhaps an overzealous dislike for drunks. My dad was a drunk for five years, much to the detriment of the family, and I've seen more than a few drunks kill people, or come close to killing people, driving. I've gone in to detail in plenty of other topics, I won't do it here; I'm already tense thinking about it.
The OP asked for thoughts on tattoos. I provided mine and I personally think it was pretty fair and even on both sides of the argument; I didn't suggest she get covered head-to-toe, but neither did I say she was going to hell for a little ink. And I do believe some of that is acceptable fact; tattoos do look awful when people get older, and professionally, they -are- a fine line as things stand today, especially in public service sectors where the consensus desire is for neutral-looking, team oriented, clean employees who will not upset the
general public...hence my rant about ******* John who only found his way in here because we're desperate for manpower.
Sorry if I have my head up my ass. It's warm up here.
