May 2, 200619 yr Well, if you try to make something which isn't clean look clean, it's basically the same as lying, isn't it? It's like showing only the good and hiding the bad. No honesty there. And it's integrity that makes a person who he is. No bs and the like. Title got cut off. Should be integrity.
May 2, 200619 yr In the case of personal hygiene, maintaining a clean image IS being clean so I'd prefer it if people did that. Especially the damn pinko commie hippies. Get a bath. Frequently. Spreading beauty with my katana.
May 2, 200619 yr According to NLP (and a lot of salesmen's literature) if one acts in a certain way they are programming themselves to behave more like that: role models are a good way to facilitate the younger (and more impressionable) to conform to higher standards of conduct.

May 2, 200619 yr Are you trying to justify the fact that you smell? (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
May 2, 200619 yr In the case of personal hygiene, maintaining a clean image IS being clean so I'd prefer it if people did that. Especially the damn pinko commie hippies. Get a bath. Frequently. Hey, dingo you man. I take an hour long shower almost every day and I still proudly sport my CCCP T-shirt.

May 2, 200619 yr Does this question also include the issue of push-up bras and the like? Those really piss me off. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
May 2, 200619 yr Yeah, those can be.....hell, they piss me off too. I mean, I don't get to walk around with a cucumber in my pocket and have it be fine with everybody. So why the hell is this OK?

May 2, 200619 yr What do you mean by clean? Do you mean hygeine? Do you mean being respectable? Define what you mean by clean.
May 2, 200619 yr I think he might mean the situation where schools, workplaces etc. make you remove piercings, cover tattoos, cut your hair, shave etc. And that is in way a violation of your personal rights and integrity. DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.

May 2, 200619 yr I think he might mean the situation where schools, workplaces etc. make you remove piercings, cover tattoos, cut your hair, shave etc. And that is in way a violation of your personal rights and integrity.

May 2, 200619 yr We act the part in hopes that someday we may live it. I have all sorts of failings as a human being, but maintaining my clean image is not one of them. However, maintaining a clean image requires owning up to the times you have failed. If I do something wrong, it is bad. If I do something wrong and then hide it, I'm twice shamed. Sometimes, because I'm a human being, I avoid talking about past faillings. I'm actually pretty open about these things most of the time, but it's not any better to broadcast our failings needlessly than it is to hide them. We should be willing to accept them and own them, but not necessarily bring them up for their own sake. Not only that, but I won't act in shame for something that is not shameful. For example, we live in a Seventh Day Adventist community. We don't drink a lot of alcohol at home, but when we do, my wife tries to keep the bottles on the counter until we can take them to the city recycling bin rather than put them in the bin we place in front of our house. I refuse to do that. I will not act ashamed for what I do in accordance with my rights and preferrences. Now, on the other hand, I don't feel the need to broadcast that from time to time I consume alcohol. I don't flaunt it in front of my neighbors. I don't introduce the subject just to be a jackass. There's a lot involved with trying to maintain a clean image. If done for its own sake, then I agree with Eddo. However, if someone just wants to live a clean life and set a good example for his children, then it's okay to avoid talking about shameful failings in his past.

May 2, 200619 yr "Mr Rimmer. If it was any larger you would have a serious balance problem". I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
May 2, 200619 yr The way I see it then if you have a goal then you need to do what is necessary to achieve that goal. If you want a career that has certain expectations on behavior and dress then you need to adhere to that behavior and dress accordingly. That is just how society works. If you have a tattoo that says "F**k You on your forehead don't expect getting a job, period.
