Opinions about body piercing!!

[Laila]

I had those, I see them in my childhood photos. I still remember as a child when I went to pre-school and had them in my ears the big girls on the bus would tease me by saying I wear threads in my ears because my 'Mommy' couldn't buy me earrings ... I don't think they stay up until she marries though ... ?

Really......oh the little girls in my village are not allowed to wear gold earrings until marriage, then of course, they marry young.

I think when my grandmother did my piercing, she left the thread for a few days, then put her earrings in mine.

I had earrings in mine as a baby but then they got blocked. So when I was about four, my mother (who loves piercings and was so keen on us getting our ears done that when she took me, for the professional piercing when I was nine, she made sure I had three in one go for me) repierced them herself thus the strings when I went to school.

No, I think you just conceded to the fact that women can't think for themselves...ah thank you.

Just stop it faye.

My brain is too powerful for you. As a matter of fact I am smarter than Wikipedia...but you just don't know :P

facts, proof.....isn't that what the logical demand

[Gulbabo]

i think nose piercing is really pretty

[Alchemist]

facts, proof.....isn't that what the logical demand

premise 1: Primitive societies lack consciousness. Hence they are called "primitive"
premise 2: Primitive societies commonly self mutilate themselves.

Premise 3: Modern people self mutilate themselves.

Conclusion: Modern people lack self consciousness

Once you read the above come back and tell me that people that tattoo and pierce them selves don't have psychological issues. Then tell me that modern primitives aren't trying to use tats and piercing as a way to heal themselves.

By now its clear to me that you as well have tats and piercings since you are in completel denial of your own atavism. If you were introspective and self conscious you would have probably accepted your short comings (lack of consciousness) rather than question my logic by labelling it out right "fantasy". You could have asked why the issues have resurfaces as of late and become so trendy. And then we could have had a more in depth and meaningful discussion. But I know you will still have a hard time accepting this so you will continue being you ...stubborn and annoying. The above readings, and all "google/wiki" pages out there are based on authors opinions and their own hypothesis. My own intrepretation as at least less biased and more objective as I don't have any tattooes or piercing and don't need to rationalize the behaviour (unlike the above authors).

waffle, waffle waffle waffle....yeah 25 in each nostrel and a tattoo on the bottom of my foot says "alchemist lives here"

[IamDZJ]

You two are getting my nerves.

You are the male version of staya sher. Go hang out with guys for a change. Unless you have earrings and bracelets to talk to us about. Stop throwing yourself at people. No ody wants you.

Kakargirl and Mahzala,
Yeah I think ears are fine - but nothing at all else unless one is a Rajasthani
woman carrying water with big hoop nose earring -
other than that I can't see any type of nose earring
as anything other than
revolting !

About Kakargirl's resistance to having the gold earrings - maybe nature didn't intend it for some women,
The body is just letting those women know by fighting back & making it too uncomfortable to bear !

After all in Chinese traditional medicine, there are a large number of what are called "meridians" - critically important energy pathways - which go through the earlobe alone.

So maybe it's not wise to interfere by forcing earrings if the body rejects them... that's why I thought it good that she doesn't use them.

do you mind explaining to me what you mean by your above statement. because many kochi pashtoon women wear nose rings and many of our 'mashraan', as to older femal family members, our grand mothers and great grand mothers have worn nose rings. are you insulting our mothers? ... even today, many pashtanas back home wear nose rings. it is considered symbol of beauty and tradition.

^ my maternal grandmother smoked chilam so should I take offense to anyone that finds smoking repulsive?

[Catya Sher]

^ Good argument !

Likewise, many of the men do naswar, so are Afghans abroad going to perpetuate that traditional practise?

I thought about that, gulbabo, before I wrote it, but I personally didn't see Kochi women with those nose rings. I associate them most with with Rajput women.

Either way, if YOU are in Afghanistan and wearing them, well fine - but I think we are meaning here in the West, where they look outlandish to most eyes.

caty,

perhaps you should get one of those evil eyes tattooed on your forehead, for protection from this dastardly world

smoking chilam is a symbol of beauty in your culture? if so, u have every right to feel offended.

[kakargirl]

piercing - beautiful women dont need one, natural beauty is the best beauty, no need for peices of metal stitched onto your body in order to make your body parts look better than what they are, be happy with what you got and how god made you :-)

Tatoos - Its dangerous as essentially your walking around like a kafir, your ghusal or abloution is not even counted which means you cant even pray salah, and if you die with a tatoo then its a completly different story...SCARY. Iv got a tatoo on my back and arm but i was a bit of a rebelious teenager and didnt comprehend religion, inshllah i have the intention and am planning on removing them.


Marilyn Monroe - Shes the modern day version of a porn star, if she was alive now shed most probly be staring in the dirtiest of movies, part of the satanic freemasons and making devilish music and probly married to Marilyn Manson

wror wow i just saw this what a master peice you wrote, you spoke my mind,excellent post wror.
