On one really cold (-10F), the city council asked local churches to open their halls and meeting rooms to house the homeless overnight. Over the 5 largest they asked, 4 refused, including the huge mega-church. Personally, I'd take their tax exemptions and stick them where the sun don's shine. Sorry for the off-topic rant, but the lack of social care, and the "I'm all right Jack" attitude of people pisses me off no end, especially for a so-called Christian country. Have these people ever read the New Testament? |

Re: The best thing about America
The general frank and open honesty of Americans compared to Brits. You always know where you stand with them. Very refreshing for me.
The polar opposite of 'hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way' |

You may be an exception though....many are. Not shallow minded ( are you saying that people who don't like tattoos are shallow ? How bigoted ! ;) )....merely observational. As for fashion....meh ! |

Re: The best thing about America
Tattoos do not age well.
But then neither do clothes, fortunately my clothes from my teenage years have long since been discarded. Afghan's that you did not want to be downwind of? There may be exceptions, I just have not come across any. |

I choose to have piercings and tattoos, there is nothing chavy about it. I bet 3/4 of this forum have at least one tattoo and so we are chavs. Bigot? yes. I doubt many people feel the same as you. I'm off to by a shell suit now and a giant gold chain to match.:amen: |

Fashion and trends change frequently. Ink tends to hang in there far longer.

You obviously don't Know fashion and trends because a very large spectrum of adults are getting inked.

I thought chavs were more into Burberry clothes than tattoos.

They just get the Burberry pattern tattooed directly on now. That way they can stop nicking clothes and concentrate on Citroën Saxos instead.
