I started this topic to voice out my view

i did not say the girl is ugly or what, but its the body art that ruin her. Maybe she like it, for all i care. If its me, I will regret when I grow older if i did what she did. Thats why i started a topic on this

Sorry for people involved in the arguements. Will not be here the next 3 days. Just wanna peace things, don't wanna quarrel all the way till Chinese New Year, I have got enough problems myself.

FI might wish to close this thread...

er, how did it "ruin" her?

are we that superficial people that a pair of holes in the ear turns beauty into the beast? I find your liberal use of the word "ruin" here belly-acheingly hilarious!

then u help me find a topic name ok?

and your point in having this topic to begin with is....?

I suppose if u REALLY wanted a topic like this, u could have put something like this: "Flesh Tunnels: Your opinions on it" instead of passing a verdict as tho your name was yong pung how

can't voice out my view? too full of myself? nah i'm not handsome either

its not as if i posted her pictures and condemn her

if your judgement of "ruining herself" is not a condemnation i don't know what is.

hey shouldn't they make u CJ of Sg? then u can pass a law that is the last word in what is considered to be ruining oneself

im wondering too. the article doesn’t explain WHY u shouldn’t put the banana in the fridge

How come I am on your side when almost everyone else is not?

because even with the handicap of being born in singapore, some of us still have the good fortune of realising the world is bigger than our individual little spheres that we've grown comfortable in, and the even better fortune of having the courage to step out of that sphere to discover something more magnificent than our insignificant selves

ya lor. sibei pathetic, and they still dare to call it "art".

spoken like a true blue ignorant sillyporean

you know, they dare to call it "art" the same way u dare to call that bit of grey between your ears "brain"

Probably due to some problems with their self-esteem. I read that some people suffer from a chronic lack of self-esteem so that they are not very comfortable with their own physical bodies driving them to do drastic things like body piercing like punks. So even though they are actually quite attractive, they still feel that they are inferior.........

that is simply too 1 dimensional a way of going about understanding it. Lotsa people who get piercings hardly have a self esteem problem Its more like a multi faceted diamond if u would like to devote some time delving into the complexities of the psychology behind body modification. But ultimately why cry for them if, assuming you're 100% right about why they do it, they're actually happier after having done it?

and this little frog in the well also thinks u can jolly well stay out of this well forever. open mouth, close mouth so hostile like everyone owes u a living.

im sorry i ruined your illusion of a perfect little world but i like to tell it as it is. But do pardon the hostility. its not easy to get rid of many years of singaporean influence. Maybe another 10 years in the UK and British gentility will rub off on me.

chao Gackt. since when u listen to muse one

thats true. problem is, its more convenient to click on the "newest topics" button and as u can see, that brings up some of the topics that raise my ire.

besides i can't say i like everyone in club 30.

I think it is alright if TS said, I saw a girl do something and I really do not like it.. I can't understand why she did that... I will never do that... but he said:

"A pretty girl ruin herself... " wah lao! just because he does not like it, she "ruin herself"?

nyat... she did not ruin herself, TS is just too full of himself.

hear hear. well said!

and i also buey song u go everywhere saying "you singaporean this and that". but really la, wad can i expect from self-righteous bigots like you.

u have ur bigotry way, i'll have my typical froggy way.

and which part of my "you singaporean this and that" is wrong?

but its ok. im not here to win a popularity contest. if some people prefer to have wool pulled over their eyes who am i to try to remove that wool eh? So sure u can blame me for being "self-righteous" but i guess thats just a product of too many years in Singapore and having your influences rub off on me

I have to point out i admire the delicious irony of some heterosexist bigot calling me a bigot.

As you can see.... threads have been started on much much less. The girl has the right to do her piercing, TS has the right to voice his opinion as he sees fit.

Aesthetics cannot be an isolated/esoteric subject, much as u hate TS' opinions, they are very much part of the continuing discourse.

Did say he has a right to voice his opinion. Agree with u about threads being started on much less. Which is why I've given up on this forums and stopped coming her regularly. Same goes for Singapore. I also don't think they key to this discussion is aesthetics, but more on the "frog in the well" mentality of majority of Singaporeans. Even you who's much more able to present a well constructed argument in an articulate way has the knee jerk reaction of saying that the piercing in this case was done as a result of "angst lack of attention"

Beauty will always be subjective, and social perceptions exist in the context of our everyday world. Of course you would not expect everyone to delve into the world of bodymods, like I wouldn't expect everyone to study the fine art or architecture or installation displays etc. You cannot ask more of the general public than observation: she put her piercing out there for us to see... we (TS) saw and didnt like it. Its as simple as that.

It's fine for TS to not like it. However, I don't see why he needs to start a thread. How often do u see a thread started here about a bad piece of design?
