Am I the only one who wishes tatoos would go out of style? (thin, women)

You asked if I knew what a correlation was. I gave you an example.

As you said, it doesn't imply causation, but it's a safe bet.

It's POSSIBLE I might outrun Jesse Owens--but I wouldn't bet on it.

People can learn to cook.

Similarly, people can learn to overcome irrational aversions to people with tattoos.

Or irrational aversions to the homeless.
Or irrational aversions to illegal immigrants
Or irrational aversions to Democrats
Or irrational aversions to Republicans
Or irrational aversions to the overweight
Or irrational aversions to the short
Or irrational aversions to the poor...

Shall I go on?

My doctor has a half sleeve and a rather large tattoo on his back. I wouldn't cal him a 'cornball-jabrony', would you?

That all depends--just how big a boy is he?

Does he figure he could whoop me?

Well, he's a little taller than me..so probably about 6'2 ...maybe 220? Of course, he's in his 60s so I doubt he'd want to 'whoop' anyone

^^Joking.

I take it you've never heard of Roy D. Mercer.

TKramar, you are just showing you are very biased in your thinking. Try to teach yourself to get over some of these aversions. It will make you a better person.

Everyone has a few "aversions" to things. It doesn't make them a "bad" person and getting rid of them will not make them "better".

Attempting to overcome irrational fears is always a good thing.

There are many other, more productive ways to spend one's time than trying to overcome harmless "aversions".
