    Buda was depicted as a fat happy guy because only wealthy, healthy and intelligent (the last one generally precluding the first two) people could become fat and happy. Until very recently this has been true regardless of your nationality. There are still certain isolated (non Americanized) cultures in the world where obesity is desired and is seen as a symbol of health and affluence.

    'Gig' line, not rig line. Sounds to me like this guy has issues. I bet he would enjoy one of those up the skirt videos. This person is displaying dangerous behavior and a definite desire to participate in forced voyeur scenarios. Rapists, molesters and kidnappers often precede their serious behavior with stuff like this. The context of his actions implies that he has thought about the possible legal ramifications of what he is doing in that he chooses a more or less public place to observe from. He does this in his free time because he enjoys it.

    I have multiple facial piercings and tattoos (no facial ink) and I am fortunate enough to work for a company that regards my work performance as the chief indicator of my value as an employee. I can understand concerns in regards to employment when it comes to things like a sales position (some sales positions, not all), where a person must be willing to accommodate to all manor of archaic appearance expectations...but in reality there are very few worthwhile jobs that have reason to regard appearance above performance. In general, as far as appearance goes, if it doesn't make sense to you then it's probably not for you. I, as many other people in my group, consider my body to be a work in progress. I have chosen to shape my appearance according to my evolving self image. I got pierced because I look better with the hardware. I do not need to be pierced to feel or look good, but I look better that way...much like someone will look better when wearing jewelry and/or makeup that they feel comfortable with. Like combing your hair, you don't need to do it but you look and feel better when you do. There is another level to this, beyond the earring/jewelry thing; pain. A lot of people that get pierced know that there is a common shared experience. As far as the face thing goes, often the first and last place you look at a person is the face. It is the billboard with the greatest exposure. It is also what we as humans key off of most when we look in the mirror. Often the very people you don't want to have anything to do with anyway will stay away from you if you are outwardly decorated. Likewise, I can assume that nearly all of the 'freaks' that I see have similar or at least more compatible or open minded interests to mine. The nicest, friendliest, cleanest and generally the more intelligent people you will ever meet are tattooed, pierced, cut, branded and multi-colored. Why tattoo or pierce a perfectly good person? Please don't be so insulting as to imply that being a good person could possibly have anything to do with weather or not you agree with the way they look. 93 93/93
