Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Taken last week after a shower, so my hair was really slick and awesome.
Chronojam and I in March (he didn't pack dress shoes, before you ask). We weren't going anywhere, I just wanted a nice picture. =P And yes, he is pretty tall (6'4").
Chronojam looking like a sniper when I asked him to. >=D The flash kept ruining the shading his eyes had, so I turned it off for the picture. It was taken a day after the previous one.
Picture of my eye taken a few months ago. I am squinting because the light was pretty bright, and bright light is the only way to see the green part. Otherwise it either looks teal or blue, depending on what color I put on my eyelids. Chronojam has green eyes with brown in the center that looks like orange, but I can't find a clear picture of his.

Here's a link to a picture of the surgical cut from my cyst removal so looking at it is optional. It's healing up pretty well currently, though. I put some aloe vera stuff on it and it's working better than "professional" scar gel.

I hope you realize that pentacle is a sign of life, not the sign of Satan... Most "goths" have no idea of what it really means and why it's worn.

I hope you realize that there is no single known, irrefutable "beginning" of the use of the pentacle.. and it actually symbolizes completely different things to completely different people.
Wiccan's didn't invent it.. they adopted it. So what it means to you, means absolutely nothing to him.

lol... Where did I ever say that followers of Wicca invented it? It's been a symbol of Christianity, Paganism, Israelites and quite a few others. There's only two accepted views of the pentacle, and that's either of it being evil or of it symbolizing life. I opt for the latter, as you find a perfect pentacle within a cut apple.

I honestly don't care since a) I'm not religious and b) I stay away from greasy goths and metalheads.

I can care less about what you think of goths, but I do care what you think about metalheads. That is because I am one. Why the hell do you stay away from them? Also, I am NOT greasy.

What's your point?
|
Let's see...
1. You see a picture of a Goth wearing a pentacle. The picture was posted as a sad attempt at humor to suggest that Venom Pawz got the scar on the top of her wrist by attempting to slit her wrist, not from a cyst removal. Lame humor aside...
2. You immediately assume that the image is of JohnDoe and proceed to inject your imperical knowledge of the universe since everyone else on the planet runs around their daily lives in ignorant trances.
3. You assume that since the image posted is a Goth dude wearing a pentacle that JohnDoe is a pentacle wearing Goth. You also assume that because the pentacle is on a Goth, that he is probably just like most of the other Goth’s you know and doesn't have a clue what the pentacle around his neck really stands for. After assuming all that, you proceed to assume.. well, assume may not be the correct word, you were actually just hoping that he wasn't stupid.. like all those other Goths you know.
4. After "hoping" that he knows that the pentacle is a sign of life, not Satan. (and that's a direct quote) you concede that it is actually accepted as a sign of both (making your entire "hopeful" sentiment moot).
That was my point.. but I'm guessing you already knew that.
Instead of passing your opinion off as fact, had you stated "Do you wear the pentacle as a sign of life, or a sign of Satan?.. I consider it a sign of life, myself".. We wouldn't be having this cordial conversation.
