Priest tattoo is very disrespectful to religion.

In the tattoo, the priest is thinking of homosexual sex/ molestation, while holding a gun to his head. I don't think it's meant to be disrespectful to religion, it's showing disrespect to priests who are either hypocritical (ie damning homosexuals while engaging in homosexual sex) or pedophiles. I personally have a problem with pedophiles and think they would do the world a favor by putting a gun to their heads and pulling the trigger. So I don't mind his tattoos.

As far as the "hating God", I guess the death of his father may have something to do with it. not sure when he lost his dad, but I don't think he's completely grieved. Maybe that's what the whole nomadic lifestyle is about. When tragedy strikes, some people turn to religion/ God for strength. Some turn away. When faced with the loss of a parent, sibling, child, for some, not believing in a high power is "easier" than the inevitable "why". Not "why is he/ she gone", but "why am I still here?"

The tattoo on his rump could be a reaction to the loss of his father, and the life altering realization that maybe there is nothing after your body stops living. The crippling belief that sometimes faith just isn't enough. Or is could be as simple as he lost a bet with a tattoo artist.

I have never seen James rip page from a Bible. I have never heard him antagonize the house zealots for their beliefs (maybe their hypocritical actions, but not the belief). But I could have missed something.

Yes James is a proclaimed atheist and I know I saw more on the subject on his website.

It is his right to believe what he wants just as it is my right feel the way I do.

I agree with to each is own and believe in what you want. So I do not get offended or hate the others in the house when they are doing thier own thing w/ religion whether I agree with it or not. I want Nat to win but if James makes it to the end he would definately desevre to be there, since hes a one man island and all.

Interesting info Francis. I didn't know that James' father had died. That definitely offers a few answers to some of his behavior.

There is more to James and why he does the things he does than we know or will ever know. In regard to the game at hand, he's playing to survive and he's been able to do just that. Kudos!

I do not rally pay a lot of attention to any of what they say on their religion or whether they have any, it really is live and let live,but it does get comical when Natalie is goin on and on about God and then her signs. I do think that James is far more reserved in what he let the public know about his lets say inner feelings, he really has not been an open book. I also did not know about his father, and that could play a large part of his what seems to me as unhappiness, he just does not seem like the happiest guy ever, ya know??

Funny, I just thought of James as some punk kid who one day decided he will shun all responsibility and take a ride on his bike around the country. Of course, he forgot about the eating and clothing part and then decided to do gay porn (mind you he could have done heteresexual porn) probably because that is his preference.

The tat's - trying to be trendy

The hair - to be different though he would have made a big splash early 80's NYC and late 80's Calif. I don't think the tattoos mean anything personal to him, he just needs to be different. But, you would think a permanent ink mark on your body should have some significance, right?

He's what the kids today call a "poseur" - he just acts the parts to fit in. Otherwise, if he was some true "punk rock type/rebel" kid he wouldn't give a rat's ass about being on a reality tv show.

yes, and he would not even be ther, at all, if he was for real. I agree, as I said above, he seems really unhappy in general.

I think losing his father -- and especially at his young age -- explains a lot. Everyone deals with loss and grief differently, but I can see how some of his choices could reflect this loss. He's young. He'll grow out of some of this stuff as he gets more mature. And what he doesn't won't be so bad as deep down I think James is a warm and caring person.

I really like James. I would hang out with him if ever given the opportunity. I think he played a good game but his mistake was hooking up with Skankia and Josh. Those 2 were very cruel to quite a few people in the house and he stayed tight with them. If he had of been partnered up with Nathalie I think we would have seen a very different James. He fell for the wrong girl and unfortunately it really cost him a lot of respect from others in the house. I truly believe in the beginning that he was very well liked by all. He is a carefree young man and has a very sensitive side to him. It is so very easy for us to judge these people based on what we see on the live feeds. They are ALL different outside of this house, with the exception of Skankia and Josh.....those 2 are just very hateful people........

That being said....as I've said before....I don't want James to win because I would DIE knowing that Skankia got her hands on even 1 cent of the $500,000 :animated_rotfl:

He's a young man on a reality tv show, why all the excuses for behavior? He wants to earn easy money. Sitting in a house with a bed, meals and prizes is alot better than having to peddle your way cross state lines.

If every kid who lost a dad, got on his bike, got freaky tattoos, neoned color their hair and bend over and take one for the team on film; words such as "mainstream"

would not exist when characterising young people.

I went HG, by HG replying today and...well, I came out that as it stand right now James, is my choice to win BB9. I don't care about his past, his ass, or his tatoo's, or his personal life as to who he is or what he does, I care about the fact that for the past four weeks he has been the one to entertained me the most, made me root for him the most, has played with his heart exposed (and a few other parts) so GO JAMEY BOY show those others how this game is played, if you go out this week do it in style.....

DITTO!!!!

I am soooo hoping that Adam doesn't put James on the block! I'd love to see James, and ??? (not Natalie) to the final 2!!!!!

I had given up the BB crack pipe last night but I'm steady back tonight! James HAS been pretty straight up (no less than anyone else in the house!!). I think that he has a BIG heart! :heart: and I love the fact that he broke down and cried! I think that they were real emotions!!! He's playing an awesome game and it would be BORING without him!

Goooooooooooooooo James!!! Don't let the naysayers get ya down!

Honestly the only thing I have seen James do is have sex with Chelsia. Lay in bed with Chelsia. Then, after she left, get depressed and lay around and sleep and wander the house. He did win a comp and that was kinda exciting but what else?
