It's called freedom of speech my queen.
Maybe you should get used to the idea.
Nope. That's not what freedom of speech is.
Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak freely and voice dissent without censorship or repression from the government. In other words, freedom of speech is something that exist only in the context of the relationship between citizens and the state. It has nothing to do with a discussion on the merits of the SSG on an escort review board.
Importantly as well, the concept of freedom of speech also mean that one has the freedom of voicing their criticism of other people's ideas and hold them accountable for those ideas.

Im surprised you would quote me out of context that way. I was simply mentioning two of the people I know who regret their overly quick choices of body art. My current fave has plenty of art, I think suits her, and im sure she doesnt give a rats ass if I think it suits her or not, she didnt do it for me.
It is afterall just a personal opinion im stating right? on a website...about women who have put them selves up for display.
I'm too lazy to go back to read the flow of the discussion that lead to your post, and to me quoting from it. But I think I simply used that quote from your post as an illustration of this idea that many people have about ink that should be meaningful forever. I may very well have (mis-)quoted you out of context.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't believe that ink has to mean anything. Nor do I give into the argument that someone should love their ink all their lives or else it was a mistake. Which doesn't mean that I don't think like many of you that there's a lot of bad ink out there. I actually agree that most of the ink we see in this thread is not very aesthetically pleasing. When gets at me are the argument that a girl shouldn't have gotten ink because it makes her less appealing to the person judging (whether you or me), or that it's bad ink because in 10 years she won't like it anymore. That's bogus.
But I was also extremely tired and annoyed at something else when I posted yesterday, and my pissy mood probably explained why I wrote this rant in the first place. So please, don't take it personally.

I doubt this thread is even on her radar anymore.
See, just for you, I made a point of coming back.
But you're right, I usually forget to follow up on my random comments. Since I have an opinion of everything and its opposite, it's hard for me to keep track of my pieces of wisdom.
