After a long time away..
I was just listenning to the news radio (France Info, a rather good station with a rather good pluralism of ideas)) last friday when a young PhD from north of France( Brittany) started talking about the sociological phenomenon of tattoo and piercing, saying that, based on a statistical AND (he said) psychological study of sociology, people with tattoo and piercings mostly are alcoholic and political extremists...
Being myself healthy and not prone to extremism, I was very chocked to hear THAT moreover from the mouth a young man, PhD for more !

I gave some hope to the youth to change the watch of people about tattoed and piercied guys and gals.. but well. Think I should forget it.
When they say that the tattoo has been democratized and is no longer a factor in social danger (as if it had been one day), they add another layer of stupidity by saying that it is infact the tattooed AND pierced people that are the bad guys ..

What a beautiful world.

That's strange. I don't know about France but I'd guess the majority of women under 30 in the USA have at least one tattoo.

Also the world is full of PhDs making stuff up out of questionable data.

Lectures can be sooo off from the reality!

I remember at the world exhibiton in 2000 a guy who lectured some Africans on the social and traditional relevance of tattoos and how he had gotten tattoos and brandings to emulate and honor their traditions - totally missing to spot that none of them had any! LOL!

P.S.: How are you? You have been silent here for a while...
