      @@chandler2 this is going to shock to you. In your attempt to appear as smart you complete overlooked what the premise of my comment was. Something tells me not only are you not intelligent enough to make sense of a short comment, you also have tattoos? Hmm a correlation between intelligence and tattoos I wonder🤔. I wonder why people thousands of years ago people got tattoos ? Probably wanting to show off their mums name in cursive, or maybe they want their favourite anime character on their forehead. No, tattoos had a function, they were in embedded in the function of a society and had meaning directly in relation to that society and therefore the world they lived in.
