Let's take a vote. Does michael bell win Slog's asshole comment(s) of the day award?
Is this like a Kickstarter campaign, or will she get the money whether it "funds" or not?
How is it heartless to think it's a waste of $1200 to get a tattoo removed. It would cost her half as much to have the tattoo changed into something beautiful. Some random person online sends a picture to win the worst tattoo contest, and now someones asking to raise money to remove it, and I think that is a waste of money. How is that heartless?
I have sympathy for this girl Ashley, but there are far better things to spend charitable dollars on.
So yes, I also vote you "asshole of the day commenter"
Not going to look back for all the hate but I am sorry for the asshole comment.
michael bell wins "troll commentor of the day" though I don't think he deserves it. despite crafting what can only be described as a series of lousy, obvious shitposts, he managed to get in a fight with several commentors and a slog staffmember (who didn't even post the article.)
here's a puzzle: if every business who employed commentors who commented on this post while on the job donated the exact wages earned during their time commenting on and reading replies to this post (deducted from said commentors' wages,) how much money would Ashley have in her "remove my ugly tattoo with a painful backstory" fundraiser?
And I love it when people announce how much they're giving to charity. It's like saying, "look at how much holier I am than thou."
Hey, if that girl gets that silly tattoo removed, super-duper. Still, it's just a tattoo. Removing it isn't going to magically remove her memories of her past. And I firmly believe if she took all the money she receives to remove her tattoo and anonymously donates it to a battered women's shelter or something similar, it would be money better spent.
You are free to give as you are willing and able.
No one has called the readership into judgment based on their choice to give, or not give.
The choice is yours to make. No need to share your reasons for or against.
If you don't want to give, don't. Stop there, and move on to something else.
However, if you choose to stand in the town square and proselytize your opposition while asserting it as the only valid perspective, regardless of the stumbling and bumbling imbicilic caveats, you've shown your ass in public; so, accept any dissent, criticism and rejection that comes back at you as a result of your ostentacious display.
You made a public spectacle of yourself, and you got read. Welcome to the real (adult) world, kiddo.
Even fools may be thought wise if they keep silent.
Although, I do kinda like it as an alternative spelling...hmm, should it stay or should it go? So, hard to decide.
Ostentatious or ostentacious?
Ahstentayshus? Hmmm...maybe.
When it comes down to the question "why don't you cover the tattoo" the answer is I would know his handwriting, his marking is still under there, still on my body! He harmed me and my body for way too long- and with the help of some pretty amazing people, I'm taking it back♥
