  1. Why was this brought up considering its age? I am making a "wild" guess by saying that it didn't sell alot of copies...and its only a video game. I have seen worse...and that goes for every religion or non-religion.
  2. Cheers to sneezing and coughing on everyone and having drunken celebrations with all those family members you hold so dear!
  3. Now...if they would just move this over to trash burning instead of the typical landfill we would have something very powerful, more productive, and not quite as weird.
  4. You mean eyes? If so there is no way you have virgin eyes... Also, fuck...
  5. I think that even with people knowing what the tea party is...the title is a bit misleading...or I just used to smoke WAY too much in the past
  6. You god ram plucking pizza ship!
  7. I was just thinking of some stoned dude that looks like Jesus drinking tea because he is somewhat of a health nut...
  8. I guess it might just be luck in who you talk to or when you talk to them. I know people of very high rank that are literally covered from head to toe in tattoos...a First Sergeant of a company with full sleeves, torso, and full legs and there are 2 Captains and a Colonel with the same. One thing I seem to notice is that they seem a bit nicer, as in more personable and ready to take on problems for individuals that they could ignore, than the ones that comment on people having too many tattoos. Not ALL non-tattooed people are like that I just find that there are too many people that think if they don't like it then the people with them should damn well know how big of a "mistake" they made.
  9. Well being a mechanic helps with this...because no matter where I work my arms are covered...either by long sleeves of short ones with forearm protectors. Luckily the discussions in the military are really bearing down on the fact that IF they pass something on tattoos then those that got them before the new regulation shouldn't be punished. And what gets me even more than the jobs part is the stupid questions people ask...like I am a 2 year old. Yes I know it is permanent, when I get old and wrinkly who cares if there is in there too, and I didn't get them for you so stop talking to me. I don't get it...I don't like a ton of other personal choices but unless they make you an unproductive asshole I usually don't say shit to the average person...almost punched my uncle who is a fat drunk that constantly speed with no seatbelt and is almost always broke from buying new electronics and other things for his drug addicted son...yet he always calls me out at family gatherings for my smoking and tattoos. I am starting to think that I just really REALLY don't like people all that much.
  10. I understand that to an extent. In the case of the Army though it is something different. They have allowed it before but are constantly wobbling back and forth on the regulations...and people get denied reenlistment because of that in some cases. But then again it is a different case in a way...however I have heard of other companies adopting policies like that and NOT grandfathering people in that already had stuff...so long time workers were fired. The other thing is that many of the positions denied to people I know were either not glorious jobs or were jobs that kept them from the eyes of the customers...like dock workers, truck loaders, and other stuff where the only people that see you at work are your fellow workers. I think part of the problem is that people are still kinda...I guess you would say afraid of tattoos? And more and more companies are losing the right to say what goes on in the workplace with regulations and such because of forced action telling people what to do with their business that THEY own...usually because of things like lawsuits and union action. Also, personal choice or not the mental processed used is still the same...like a quest to control what is normal and right with proper people. People want peace, to coexist, and all that other happy shit but frankly that all unravels with something as little as a tattoo or any other little detail in the whole scheme of things. I just think easing up on it would be a step forward...
  11. Well after getting a start on another upper arm piece this weekend my Sgt informed me that with a new Army policy coming into play I probably won't be allowed to reenlist. When the war started they needed more troops so policy allowed them to be everywhere...including the arms and neck. Now, unless you had them before you enlisted you can't have anything visible beyond the decently short work sleeves...it used to be that it couldn't go past the wrist. Frankly I don't give a fuck...if they want to play like that I will just leave. I have been praised by my unit for the work I do and have ASVAB and GT scores is the top tiers so while I may not be the second coming of Christ I can damn well do my job...by they will let me go because of tattoos. I know THAT will not change if they approve the move but I do have questions for both that tattooed and non-tattooed people out there. While tattooing is a personal choice can it be considered discrimination if you are not hired based on that fact? Covering them up is one thing, its easy to deal with. I mean people preach at me about accepting this and dealing with that and "oh if you say something to them about it you can get sued" and on and on and on about this coexist stuff. Yet, if I smoke with short sleeves on I get so many people that must consider me the Devil for both the smoking and the tattoos! Why are some personal choices ok but others are just beat on? What people say to me...as in the way they say it...gives me the impression that they are really saying "hey why are you so stupid? you must be an idiot". I just want a little input on this because all through high school, college, the Army, and even as a regular civilian I always hear "acceptance" and "don't discriminate" and yet it seems like these same people make little cutouts for things they don't like...which seems pretty fucking two faced if you ask me. Also, and this is not actually how I think just something brought up in a discussion I had. Personal choice or not the key is that it is all about perception...buy both parties. Not all tattoos are good but, just like EVERYTHING, tattoos can be abused by people...like offensive artwork. Shit, people abuse the most basic, every day items. And when it comes down to the perception thing that also factors into...oh, people seeing someone of Hispanic origin and thinking about illegal immigrants right away, or seeing someone of Arabic origin and thinking about a terrorist. So why do we have to give people a pass? Perception has proven itself wrong so many times...with racism and thinking they are lesser human beings, sexism and thinking women are weaker a dumber...but even with the rise in people with tattoos its still OK to perceive them as...well whatever these people think. No argument starter or anything...no anger involved...just brought on by recent events in the Army at least and because I always hear stories from friends in the civilian world...
  12. Those damn cops were getting too fed up with people breaking the 20ft rule in the smoking ban and found cheap handcuffs with a quickie to be much more efficient and less stressful for all involved...
  13. If they are going to talk alot of that shit...which they do plenty of and somehow manage to do it more outside of the music...they could at least own up to the shit. They are just like every other rapper or rap fan...they love to talk about it and strut around bragging until they get busted for something...then they cry like a bitch and blame it on society. And why do we always say "our society" and mention our agencies and make it sound like heaven in other places? In terms of dick move are are not at the top of the list at all...past or current. Why would racism or anything like it ever end anyways? It won't change and don't expect it to...in fact if racism and profiling are completely gone then I will know for a fact that I am truly in the Matrix and someone went and changed one of the constants that nobody liked but was always there lurking.
  14. I would say they are more of an STD but whatever... Bleh...that word has tainted my day now...nuts!
  15. Yes those cleaners choke the shit out of me too...damn people shoving everything down the disposal like it is a magic hole the makes it all go away...no NOW I have to deal with that smell and the cleaner smell. They could never get rid of bomb making materials even with bans...however the recent trend in bans has grown and all you need is children complaining about situations they should not be in at all and "workers" saying that they are at risk on commercials to twist people into supporting a ban. Life is full of dangers...and shit ALWAYS blows up or starts on fire or gets smashed at protests...simple stuff really
  16. Yet another product from Japan that weaponizes the Vagina...Vagasil and Agent Orange have never been happier together...
  17. Worx bomb...simple yet effective. Can't really ban or trace anything because everyone needs to clean their sinks and cover their leftover chicken. This will do a number on a gopher btw...might make a protester poop a little...
  18. There is sexy and then there is wearing an article of clothing wrong...this would be the last one. Now...if the pose were different and she was in an advanced stage of removing that article of clothing then it would be a do...
  19. Hmmm...I guess that works out. I would have picked a Bill Murray mask of something...
  20. I just have to ask though...what the hell is up with the large number of V for Vendetta/ Guy Fawkes masks? No matter how noble the cause I could never think of getting behind a large group of Spanish people trying to forcefully install a Catholic dominated government...has America become that bad at associating symbols and stuff like that? Hmmm...it seems that I somehow got the Oreo font for some reason...wtf?
  21. Screw you! I have NEVER even come close to throwing up my Baileys and Goldschlager but this was a very close call...
  22. With this new retirement plan they have for us it is basically giving us nothing. It provides no motivation to serve 20 years or more. I knew my pay wasn't going to put me in a mansion when I retire but now I am looking for a decent double wide to live in...yet I put in far more hours per day than the majority of the population...that includes weekends which are not free.
