No Room For Hate

I’m currently converting some of my old blogs from before ModBlog started to a new CMS, and I’m finding so much great old stuff on them (since I posted modblog-type stuff there before starting this site)… Here’s a tattoo that got posted in early 2005…

    I quite like that. It’s funny, clever and poignant. Also, Mateusz, he was probably born like that. I have a friend with a hand like that and it’s just a birth defect. (I don’t really like saying birth DEFECT, but I can’t think of another word for it)

    Modblog has skewed my vision (in a good way). I didn’t even notice the hand until I read the comments and went back for a second look.

    From the looks of his hand it looks like he was born that way. I seriously doubt that hes an amputee. Great tattoo also! I didnt notice the hands were different either until someone pointed it out. I just noticed the tattoo.
