Grillz are barred at some Texas schools

Piercings and such don't create losers. It just happens to be that losers are more likely to do this stuff. No offense, of course.

I completely disagree. You need to step out of your small box. No offense, of course.

I was kind of kidding, but ok, now I'm not. If you get a bunch of tattoos and your nose pierced and dye your hair pink, you're usually not bound for wall street. Then again, I guess I'm stuck in my "traditional" box. I'll try again.

Yeah man, rock on! Don't be a conformist, rather, conform to the non-conformists. We're so different, lets go to Hot Topic at the mall.

Just because one isn't bound for Wall Street doesn't mean they're a loser. Plenty of people have no interest in that route, and get piercings, etc., knowing that the professions they are interested in are accepting of that sort of thing (most art-type professions, for instance). You can be extremely successful in careers such as photography, commercial illustration, advertising (depending on the firm), writing, and so on, with all kinds of body mods. Personally, I wouldn't get anything too extreme and visible done, because of the work I want to go into. And of course, I don't really like the idea of too much pain. But that's just me.

As for your last paragraph, completely agree I don't think I know anyone over the age of 15 who shops at Hot Topic ...

[shinerbock]

Yeah, I'm sure you can be successful in many fields with that stuff. However, I'm traditional, and I prefer traditional careers. However, most people with piercings and dyed hair and such give me much more reason to dislike them for than just their "body mods." To each their own. But I mean, those kids would never get a bid here, and hopefully I'll never have this problem with my children. I really don't want a Wedding Crashers "Death you are my bitch lover!" type situation.

I guess that means I shouldn't take advantage of teh buy 4 grillz, get one free offer i saw in ATL

[shinerbock]

Yeah, you probably should. Getting grillz in ATL is like getting crabcakes in Maryland.

So you hate about 95% of the sorority members at Auburn then? With their bleached hair and their navel rings...

[shinerbock]

Well, bleached hair, maybe. At Phi Mu. Your sorority, however, is heavily brunette. Also, naval rings arent as popular at Auburn, they're a little trashy.

On a side note, I was talking about guys.
