This is of course the way I and each and every other person is educated.
But it actually isn't. Its only the way a certain age group was educated.
When some see a girl with a piercing in her tongue some think it is a positive statement. Others think, .
Of course, but that's my point. A piercing is not inherently good or bad. You have a negative reaction to it simply due to the way you were raised.
People everywhere dress to make a statement or to suit the weather, or perhaps for religious reasons.
Or maybe they think that butterfly tattoo is pretty. Or maybe they think that barb wire on their arm makes them look tough. Regardless, its simply a means of expression.
Have a look at an American Marine. His uniform is perfect. Check out U Tube for the Tomb of the unknown Soldier. There you will see ultiminate respect.
But you still haven't explained HOW a certain dress or lack of accessories equates to respect. I understand that you appreciate conservative apparel, but this is very subjective. Some people like it, some people don't. No one is right or wrong.
People with those long things in their ears, studs in their nose obscenities painted on their body are making a rebellious statement. Those that dress smartly for a job are trying to make a positive statement
I'm sure that's the case for some people, particularly teenagers trying to find their own identity, but most adults that choose to adorn their body with piercings or tattoos simply like them.
The fashion of today will all change given time. But what you or I do right now is how we feel about ourselves and how we feel about those around us. This will have an influence on the rest of our lives.
You're speaking in very lofty, non-specific terms. There's a dress code where I work, so I follow that dress code. If there wasn't, I'd happily wear jeans and a tee shirt to work.
I really don’t care what others do to themselves. There are some tattoos that look great. But if you are wearing one keep away from my daughter and my son and no I don't have a job for you.
That's quite judgmental of you. Because someone has a tattoo that makes them an undesirable person? You are definitely a product of your generation. You would get along nicely with the "Get off my lawn" crowd.
