Not equating the two but it seems like the cross has been co-opted fully by christianity similarly to the nazis and the swastika. Like its just assumed they're linked.


Well, and I'm not sure if you're actually referring to it, but the swastika was co-opted as well. I think the bars on the end went the other way, but wasn't it like a good luck symbol or something?

That was my point. It was a hindu symbol I believe.

Understood, but you knew what connotations you were getting as a package deal. Again, not judgmental, but no way I'd take that whole ball of wax if it weren't my thing.

Completely agree, but I don't get my tattoos for anyone other than myself. If someone wants to (innocently and understandably) mistake it for something else, it's fine and I don't worry about it. Plus it's not like there's a heavily bad connotation with Christianity. Maybe some of the people that claim to be, but not the religion itself, unlike the swastika which was perverted into completely evil ideals.

Plus, if you're going to date someone solely based off one of their tattoos without actually talking to them about your belief, that's on you.
 
Mini rant: That's twice now that Admire has referred to tomorrow's game as our "biggest game of the year". Really? Doesn't even come CLOSE to beating KU in my mind. Or Texas. Or OSU. Or Oklahoma. Or Baylor.

It's a rivalry, but it's NOT the biggest game we play.

I think he means biggest game of the year thus far.

Or he could be an idiot.

No the KU game is easily the biggest game we play. Students waited in line for days just to get a ticket. The atmosphere is insane and it's worth spending a +$100 to go to.
 
Speaking of tattoos I have thought about getting one, maybe wings or something. Then I remember I am cheap...
 
You always have to allow for the possibility of someone being an idiot...the odds are just too great, it seems.

Very true. I usually trust Keith Murphy's hires because he hired Andy Fales and Hassel, two home runs IMO. I guess he's the same guy that hired John Sears and that Telly guy, though.

I suggested a drunken late night happy hour where everyone drinks to excess and than gets an ISU tattoo as an Alumni Association event. No one thought it was a good idea. Killjoys.
 
Wow, 1729 posts in the 14 hours since the main BDJ thread started this morning. :shocked:

edit: I've been staying out of most of the BDJ threads but do want to state for the record that I blame Meghan Trainor.
