We interrupt this scintillating argument to bring you this test of the emergency broad truth network:

Amunet, I'm going to stick with my previous statement on the use of the word "investment." You said, "It is an investment, and it's like buying art." That narrows the meaning of investment down significantly from a contextual point of view. While the other things you said about a tattoo changing the worth of a person may have merit, the sentence you used eliminated that meaning. It's semantics, I know, but if you are having a logical (or even somewhat illogical) debate, word meanings and nuances are important.

Again, I would choose a different word or use "investment" differently, as it seems you have since I last posted.

This has been a test. If this had been a real emergency, you would have been instructed to get a life. We now return you to your regularly scheduled argument.
