Judge not lest you be judged, my friend

Today, I was riding my bike and stopped at a street light. A little girl looked at me, then asked her mother, "Mommy, why does that girl have a ring through her nose?" Her mother then replied, "Because her parents don't love her." FML

Dude, **** that lady. So what if she doesn't like your piercing? FHL for not being open minded enough to tolerate other people's differences, and for exposing her daughter to that.

#31 theres a difference between not wanting your kid to have a piercing and not loving a kid because they have a piercing. and theres better ways of warning your kids to not have a piercing. she could have said " some kids like to have rings in their noses but they usually have difficulty finding jobs because other people dont like it" or " she likes it but she might get made fun of it for by other kids" or just simply you have to be 18 to have one. she didnt have to make a harsh judgement on someone elses family life because her kid asked a simple question.

the comments honestly filled me with 10 times as much entertainment. but yeah...ignorance is bad, mmkay. but with a piercing/tattoo/any cultural, ideological, or philosophical difference both young and old idiots aren't going to tolerate much less understand you half the time. go go gadget life.

#83 you just need to bow out quietly! you've caused enough problems with all your sterotypes. 68 i am right up there with you. i have snakebites and 4 tattoos. & im planning getting plugs in my ears. but i am in no way trashy! i prove your sterotype wrong most defenitly! i am a faithful church gong woman! and so are my friends who too have piercings and tattoos. so think before you start typing out all your sterotypes! piercings and tattoos are just a fashion. they do not make a woman appear trashy or sluty, her attitude and outer apparel might. to the person writing this, i am very sorry this woman did this to you. i too have gotten wierd looks because of my piercings and tattoos. you just got to learn to deal with it..

I think piercings on a girl is hot as long as it's not overdone. Nose piercings are definitely hot. 83: Every bit of what you said was... interesting. So I'm wondering, are you still in high school or are you the type that fails to recognize life after the age of 18? I found what you said here to be the most interesting of all though: "I have sex and have friends and party and drink like everybody else. But unlike you- I have a soul as well. meaning, i actually value my friends and my body, and i DONT want to look like some messed up beast with all these piercings and tattoos, and i pick the girls who reflect that. get it?" No, I don't get it. You are quick to stereotype those who are different than you, yet seem so ignorant to the fact that you fall so perfectly into the high school stereotype of the narcissistic little clique that thinks they are on such high moral grounds compared to every other human being, while at the same time you brush everything off to seem like you are just so normal. You, however, are just as or more flawed than the people you look down upon. You don't value your body as you say, you have sex with anyone you want and damage your body with alcohol. And while you may not look like a "beast" covered in piercings and tattoos the soul you have is exactly what you seem to despise. You should grow up and treat people with dignity. You are not above them, and until you realize this you will always be a beast disguised by your nice clothes. Don't be so arrogant, it's truly pathetic.

i agree the mother said something rude. should should have said something neutral. however, i have to say you deserved it. anything about your appearance you can alter tells others about yourself. if you don't clean up or look messy, means you're a slob or really poor. if you dress really flamboyantly and is a guy, you're most likely gay (i didn't say 100%, just most likely), if you wear something skimpy, you're most likely a **** or a *****, you wear baggy jeans and an oversized t-shirt and maybe some bling, you're a ******-up kid who thinks being 'gangsta' is cool. in conclusion, you asked for the negativity (although the mother is also in the wrong) because you can tell a lot about a person about how they present themselves.
