Any young people who will be starting university in a few weeks, do not abandon a sense of decorum in the absence of parental supervision.

I speak primarily of fashion. Obviously it is normal for the young to want to extenuate their individuality but please don't abandon all vestiges of self restraint and dye your hair blue and yellow just to prove to other young people that you have a personality and hold currently acceptable political beliefs.

Also don't get tattoos either.

Just for this, even though I'm not university age anymore, I'm gonna get another tattoo.

@deadgerbil I'll take your life

@HannibalAteMeOut a needle isn't that painful. What you really want to do is take a fairly pointy knife, cut in a 45 degree angle and peel the skin off. Flaying is an art.

@basilfawlty89 I have a 6 mm cubic zirconia stud in each earlobe!
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
Are you bitter because they didn't choose a nice nursing home for you?
trackboy · 22-25, M
How about going shirtless outside in short shorts to show off your muscles? 💪

I'm a university student, got a nose piercing and a tattoo and am politically left so I must have abondoned my sense of decorum 😝

Don't be bitter and push your standards on others. Also academia is and has always been politically more left wing. Knowledge and science lead to conclusions that manifest themselves in certain political positions.

Do you want a picture of my diick?
Miram · 31-35, F
@Miram I still need the answer. Yes or no.

They always will come up with something new. What was blue hair 20 years ago was the long hair of the 60s.

To say not to do it, actually encourages them to do it.

That was true then in the 1960s as it is true even now.

"Don't you dare bow on one knee to the flag now!" 🤣

Works really well doesn't!?

Say hello to your hippie friend Genie, Tony's wife, Mrs Bellows. She can teach you a few things about that time. Like the wearing of pink lingerie!
helenS · 36-40, F
Thank you – I've learned a new word: "to extenuate". 😏
MsBellows · 61-69, F
@helenS you are very welcome.
SW-User
@MsBellows That's kind of you, but you might be extenuating your ideas upon others.... just a guess of mine.
Who are you to try to tell young people how to live their lives?
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
I don't think extenuate means quite what you think it means: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/extenuate

Perhaps you meant extend?

Anyway plenty of respectable people of your and my age have tattoos, dyed hair (blue, blonde, red, and pink are quite common), piercings, and wear colourful or interesting clothing.
plungesponge · 41-45, M
@ninalanyon Words can have many number of meanings, dont untenuate there pausibilities
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
To be fair, that is the time of life you are free to go out and have fun and make some mistakes before a career and a family tie you up. Everyone needs to live before they die. 🙂
MsBellows · 61-69, F
@WintaTheAngle Yes but while wearing obscenly jarring colours on your hair and clothes might be a mistake, tattoos represent a permanent mistake.
But when you like or care about someone you like them no matter what they wear. That's why it's important to be supportive of how your children dress or choose to express themselves. @MsBellows
I'd be careful not to shame them for expressing themselves. @MsBellows

As freedom of expression, individualism, is going to be the thing that gets them in trouble. Also what are you definitions of proper political beliefs? I imagine, Trump?
@SW-User oh this is not a new member.
Its a 'persona'.
They always make these outdated and victorian comments .....its so funny .
SW-User
@OogieBoogie I understood before. I was more interested in what response I might get?

In America they seem to placing all resurrection of conservatism on Trump, who happens to be the most outlandish politician I have seen, personally.
@SW-User its INSANE over there right now.

Or rather, more insane than it usually is .
So much for land of the free eh ?😏

Ummm, trying to not be disrespectful here, but what you just posted it a lot, no, a truck load of hooey! Did you just get here from the dark ages?
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
They are paying £9K a year for the privilege of advanced education. I think this makes them perfectly entitled to abandon any semblance of decorum 😉
i wanna dye my hair purple and have free entrance tattoed in my pubic area
plungesponge · 41-45, M
Yeahhhhh, I don't think they listening lol
I believe it's important for people to find their own way. Not that a little advice ever hurt. But I wouldn't belittle someone over dress code. If you don't they may rebel because they want to be independent.
MsBellows · 61-69, F
@Spoiledbrat it could marr their chances of respectable employment, particularly if they get unnecessary body piercing and tattoos.
@MsBellows what if they want to be a rock star or a tattoo artist ?🤔😏
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@MsBellows It will probably marr their chance of being employed as an estate agent, but little else. The best employers in society are rather more open minded these days 🙂
Sazzio · 31-35, M
Your English is totally awesome.
SW-User
And don't sag your pants.
Oh i agree.

Wait till you are 45 , dye your hair rainbow , dress like a hipster witch and get your tatoos then....
....theyll look fresher 😜

Or not. Expression is the language of the soul 🤗💜🤗
REMsleep · 41-45, F
So what if someone has blue hair?
Isin't their character much more important. Very judgy.
SW-User
@REMsleep What if your husband sags his pants? Will you say the same?
🤣🤣🤣Oh ,youre back .

Gracing us with your outmoded , trollish and stereotypical grandma opinions .

I missed your biased and antiquated persona.

Are we going for round two on a new audience ?

🤣
@KiwiDan yes , i mean the post creator.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@OogieBoogie no, I meant who is msbellows an alt for?
@KiwiDan i dunno. The only character i remember being called Ms Bellows was out of 'i dream of genie".🤷‍♀️
As to who it is here?
I dunno , some bored person with nothing better to do ?😆
Zonuss · 41-45, M
And don't drink and drive. 🍻
SW-User
I will get as many tattoos as I feel inclined to get. I'm thinking 6 or 7 more may be enough
