Your Tattoos

[vrosej10]

I'm generalizing a general truth about humans.

Have you hit your head again? Or just trying to confuse me?

This is part of the problem with JBJ. He mistakes his opinions and generalisations for fact. Generalisations are weak thinking verbalised and an opinion is a subjective thing, subjective things are not facts.

Youre white trash and steal Christmas presents from orphans.

Damn!! You saw me? I hate when I get busted doing that.

However it gets cobbled together, my reality is my reality, and it has utility, like a hammer has utility. Generalizations are the Cliff Notes we use when we encounter lions on the street. Interviewing and testing the lion is the fair course of action, but Cliff Notes has immediate utility.

Generalisations are a blunt object and whilst once in while it is useful to club something, it is impractical in most circumstances. This is one of those situations where you might be better served by talking to the individual and forming an opinion of them rather than lumping them all in a group. I think you generational gap might be showing.

Well, however you rationalize it, I still toss you in the trash pile. Trash is what you are in my head.

At least you spelt trash right.

Oh! I spell most words correctly; like 'shit for brains.' I always get it right.

Well James, as long as you understand that most people here hold a similar opinion of you, then I suppose that we'll get along fine.

I've been watching your posts since I came here, and in my opinion you're no better than Scouries (or any of his many alter egos). In that, I mean that your posts serve no purpose other than to keep a thread at the top of the interest pile, yet contribute nothing to the conversation but the ramblings of someone who needs professional help.

Was that a comeback?

Really?

I felt sorry for you.

Gee! I had no idea; I thought everyone relished my posts. You learn something new every day!

Feel what you want, but in JimWorld trash wear tats.

A few years ago Asian characters were popular tattoos, now it's kind of a dated thing to do. That's sort of when everyone started getting tattoos, celebrities and your garbageman would get a tribal band on their arm and some Chinese symbol on the other. Before that tattoos were still pretty risque, even into the 90s. It was something strippers, bikers, and service people did. Jim's sort of in that world still, but it's starting to come back around again.

Every other person under 30 has a tattoo now, so there's really nothing special about it. From what I see it looks like JimWorld is starting to come back a bit, since it's almost uniform getting a sleeve or stamp. Eventually, the kids who don't get tattoos will hold a place of interest like the first college kids getting tribal did in the 90s. The stories that go along with the new wave of tattooing are probably a lot more superficial than those of the bikers and sailors from the past. My own sister has a willy wonka on her back, a friend of mine has the Beatles 'Love' symbol on her hip because she thought it looked neat...

Tattoos represent what you think of yourself, so when people say they don't care what other people think about them, it seems off. The reason to get a tattoo has always been to let other people know something about you, whether you live in the jungle and hunt or killed some dude in prison or just really want to say you'll love someone for life on your skin. I have two tattoos, someone might view me getting them as part of the pop culture thing, of course I don't.

I think getting a tat falls in the same class of experience as getting the clap or maybe posing naked on your camera-phone or getting an abortion. Sure, plenty of people do it, and its mostly the trash doing it.

In sixty years time, nursing homes are gunna be full of tattooed old coots telling JBJ's ideological progeny that in their day, all the smart youngsters got tatts and those who didn't were up themselves. It's a cycle. I mean most of us here are white folks and whitey is mostly Celtic in ancestry. They tattooed themselves...

But you value youth, innocence, naivete... Those getting tattoos, abortions, posing naked, getting STDS are young, impressionable, the center of what you've said you like in fiction. Teenagers pose naked for their boyfriends, get STDs and get pregnant because they've little idea about contraception. These are the sort of heroines of your fantasy life, no? What you call trash is also likely the center of your sexual life. Whether watching the girls in porn, sixteen year olds working the fast food you frequent, reading IT for the underage sex...

tattoos used to be a tribal thing... were they all trash?

I hope your fiction isnt as blabbery as your comments; it takes you forever to make your point. Trash comes in all age groups; I've said it before: When you breed rats why are you surprised when they have rats?

Well, I guess you've worn this thread out Jimmy. Let's move on to another one and see what kind of mischief you can create there. I for one am happy to be a member of the 'White Trash Society' and show my Tat proudly, even though it's one of family heritage.

Is there a thread about fat, female dwarfs that dress like Bozo? I think Jimmy has more to say on that subject.

If you really wanted to read my fiction you could do so, there's a link when you click on my name.

I thought I might nudge you toward considering the conflict in your bland, stereotypical, old man hating youth culture declarations/but at the same time obsessed with youth culture in fantasy. Tattoos represent youth, exploration, teen sex and pregnancy is a fetish in our culture, STDs are something for the fornicating youth to worry over -- these archetypes are all too common in fiction and television, specifically the fiction of authors you've mentioned. Young Beverly servicing all the naughty boys in It...

You hate that little pregnant, tattooed, nineteen-year-old waitress who works at the diner because of what she represents to the social worker. But you really have no idea about her, you use the markers 'tattoo' 'pregnant' 'teen' and write your own fantasy. You lust for her, want to read about her, watch her, fantasize about her and her bad behaviour. The trash is always sexier in fiction and in news media, you need conflict for a story. I haven't made my point yet, keep reading: sub-culture is considered the trash by the mainstream until it becomes so fetishized by the mainstream that it actually becomes the mainstream. You promote that which you call trash.

Youre describing the social worker NOT the 19 year old. Actually its LPNs and Rns youre describing, but social workers and guidance counselors and teachers are close cousins.

I was a teen once. Teens and the teen years are a total waste.

Jimmy, don't be making up stories. We all know about the Curious Case of JamesBJohnson. You started out as a decrepit, old douche-bag and you're not even in your 'teen' years yet. We're just waiting for you to get past senility and incontinence to see what becomes of you, if there is any serious intelligence lurking in there yet to be shown.

Nobody lives in jimworld but jim. It's a lonely place. And there is no escape.

 

[JackLuis]

Jimworld, I'll bet that is a fascinating place. filled with all the Southern Horrors.

The inbred idiots, the dumpy trailer parks at the edge of town, on the other side of the roadhouse, you know where the Mayor and Judge run that poker game and brothel upstairs. And the people! I'll bet they are all very memorable too.

"There did you see that, Elmer? I swear those looked like eyes out in the swamp, over by that cypress. Must be Muskrat Sam, he never comes to town, always staring out of the swamp at night. Some say he's the one that took that li'l nigger gal last summer, never proved it though."

AN there has to be a fat police chief, who is everybody nephew and just dumb enough he believes what the Mayor and Judge tell him.


Then the tattoo artist moved to town and it all comes down to Jimbo saving Southern Civilization. But he fails because man is doomed from the first needle bite. The tattoo turns normal upright christian kids into lazy fornicators in the fields. Then housewives start coming in to have their kids names in little hearts put on their breasts and all hell breaks loose in town.

Please, please, please stop with the Southern stereotypes. Jim lives in Florida, which isn't even considered Southern.

If you only realized how off those stereotypes really are. *sigh*
