Also, I want my skin to be darker too.. Does that include me in your group of people who will do anything just to be like everyone else?
Dunno, would you inject a hormone, and risk not entering puberty?

Yes, you are being emotional. I never used the word pathetic. I have not ranted. Yes, people with mods are followers. That seems to be a hot button of yours. Tough.
Now, listen, I responded to the content of an article you linked to. I wasn't 'pissing all over' you thread, at that point, I was the sole person to have taken an interest, and I responded to material you, that's you, linked to.
Seems you are trying to narrow the field of discussion now from topics you, that's you, raised. Ha ha.
Carry on displaying emotion however, it makes your pov look so well reasoned, NOT. Ha ha.
You're what, 14? So how would you know what 18 yo's think?
Also, that sentence rather lacked structure, care to try and say something intelligible?

You're what, a dumbass? So how would you know what 18 yo's think?

Ah, I love that one. How does me being of a certain age(reasonably close to the age we are discussing) mean that I could not possibly read a study concerning the age? Well, I guess I'll just let you answer that one.
Next, I guess this is what you're known for. Those personal attacks aren't getting us anywhere, but I'm sure it'll make you look good as a debater.
I agree with you. I actually think life experience is VERY overrated.

BetrayOfGrammar said:The majority of people(over 18) who don't tattoos are for that reason.

Yes - SOME people with mods are followers. Not all. I already pointed out that not everyone does it for the same reason. I also pointed out how pretty much anything you do can be construed as following. But no, you're still choosing to be closed minded.
Do you wear blue jeans?
What a very mature post. You attack me for displaying emotion and then you resort to behaving like a child in a playground ("ha, ha" and so forth)? Sorry, dude. You're being a hypocrite.
Here's a little tip, when people make points, answer those points instead of cocking a snook and squealing 'You smell of poo!' It makes you look a lot more grown up.
You mentioned some practical items that are prevalent, and and practical.
Hardly a good illustration. Denim became popular because it's hard wearing.
Finding your emotional outbursts amusing lessens the fact that you are arguing from an emotional, not a rational point of view does it?
A tip? Sorry, I don't rate your life experience enough to take tips from you, ...
That's sad.
But I've .... have learned nothing from life
So are combat pants, why don't you wear them instead and stop being such a follower?
You have a nerve calling me out for "emotional outbursts". Oh...I see you've gone into 'adult mode' instead of going 'ha ha, NOT' and such.
But I've seen too many adults who are dicks, and have learned nothing from life, yet their opinions are worth more than mine because they are older?
I made no statement about my preferred type of trouser, did I? No, you are assuming things and trying to pick a fight.
Maybe you should read posts before you respond. Me finding your emotional outbursts amusing does not excuse you having them in the first place.
I don't think anyone said that. You however discounted the entire sum of human life experience because you've had a bad experience with someone older. This perhaps accounts for some of your bitterness.
like the one where I pointed out that not everyone who has mods is a stereotypical dumbass who got kanji because everyone else did.
Visceral, go re-read the thread. You cleary aren't calm, and using the language you have been isn't a refutation, it's merely a temper tantrum.
If you've had lots of bad experiences with adults, you should ask yourself why those adults want to hang out with kids such as yourself, and why after a couple of bad experiences, you keep going back for more.
Oh, and on your points;
I'll let someone else do the talking;
"Stephen Franzoi, a social psychologist who studies physical attractiveness and body esteem at Marquette University, agrees that young adults now view bod-mod as a mainstream form of self-expression. But savor the paradox: "Interestingly enough," he points out, "the desire to express your own unique qualities, is, in one sense, an act of conformity. It's a social norm that an increasing number of young adults are conforming to.""
"Beyond employment, where does body decoration end and pathological self-mutilation begin? Despite her generally positive findings on those who choose tats and pierces, Frederick-Recascino says among people who had first been pierced "at a very early age, 12 or 13, there was some relationship to psychopathology, but it was a minor relationship, found only among those who had multiple pierces."
(http://whyfiles.org/206tattoo/3.html)
So I refer you to my previous question, where I linked that pic of the guy with multiple facial piercings, and asked if you thought he was happy. Seems multiple piercings maybe sign of pathology, like I needed an academic to tell me that, my life experience already confirmed it.
If tattoos and pierces are self-expression, rather than rebellion, it's not surprising that Frederick-Recascino found them to be largely unassociated with personality disorders.
my life experience already confirmed it
