So I was at my local game store and I was getting a new DS lite because I left my white DS at my dads house (long story) but anyways when I went to the game store they had all 3 DS colors....white,blk, and pink. So I started to think....should I stick with the plain white DS, or go for the black, naaaaaaaaaa no way Im getting black, you will see your fingerprints on it and you will see all the dust and dirt. So that leaves me with pink. I thought pink would be okay so I got it. It seems there are some downfalls to this tho. Everyone thinks ur a homo all the sudden and there is the "mom! look that boy has a pink DS giggle giggle" So do you guys think it was worth it to tottaly get a wicked pink DS or a total mistake.
Getting a Pink DS (mistake or success)
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Most of the white DS' I know about usually get cracks on the hinges. Like mine... Anyway, I would say it was a bad decision if you care what people think. Otherwise it's a good decision for the fact that it's a Nintendo DS. Nintendo DS = Good thing.
If your masculinity being questioned is bugging you then grow a beard and start chopping wood. That will offset the pink DS.
Whether its color rainbow or dirty white, as long as its a Nintendo DS Lite its a success.

Since when did being homosexual have anything to do with color? And for that matter, what's wrong with homosexuals? Just because you aren't, doesn't mean you have to use it as a derogatory term. Don't be ashamed of having a pink DS because you shouldn't worry about what others think of you....just because my daughter plays with Thomas the Train toys, does that make her a lesbian? Does it matter?And homosexuals are people just like everyone else. People are people...no one is better than anyone else.
Peace, love, and respect to all

If it really bothers you, get one of those after market cases, like the nerf one. That way the pink is largely obscured and no one will hassle you.

The color pink has always been associated with femininity. Just as blue has been associated with masculinity. Homosexuals (Males) have always been associated with being morefeminine(However in reality it's not always the case). Hence the association of Male + Pink = Gay for onlookers.
As far as what's wrong with being homosexual? There are two schools of thought on this and one considers homosexuality very immoral. As with most topics where political party lines are drawn, there is so much gray area that it's almost impossible to say which side it truly right or wrong. My personal problem is that I like being informed. And the vast majority of the media is very Liberal and thus having it's own agenda on what propaganda it pumps out to you. The same would happen if it was mostly Conservative. The media needs to be more 50/50 for you to get a truly accurate representation of what's going on in the world.

Politics and religion have always created bias about the issue of homosexuality. Forget what you have been told to be "right" or "wrong" for a moment and think about how stupid it is to believe one person is better than another because of race, religion, or sexuality. Was it right for blacks to be mistreated during segrigation? Was it right for Europeans to push the Indians off their land? Was it right for the Nazis to kill the Jews? Is it right for the wars in the Middle East continue over who's religion is better?Just because a man wants to be with another man, it doesn't make it harmful to you. It's not like they're trying to recruit new members. I have been hit on by a gay man and I was flattered that someone thought I was attractive enough to come over and initiate a conversation, and he was very polite when I informed him I was straight. Don't be afraid of being thought to be gay As the saying goes, "words will never harm you".

As far as being told what is "right" or "wrong" has nothing to do with most that believe the acts of homosexuality to be immoral. You don't have to be told (or at least shouldn't have to be) that killing another individual is immoral. That is how these people feel about acts of homosexuality.
Just as above, being "better" has nothing to do with it. It goes back to what two differing groups of people fundamentally believe as being moral or immoral. The United States Constitution (and the U.S. in general) was created using the Bible as a bases of what was moral or not, with the ideas in mind that everyone was created equally. There has been times in history were this has failed and thus been corrected, as you stated with the mistreatment of blacks. One you did fail to mention however was the mistreatment of gender that has also been corrected.
Many believe that this is another case in history where a group of individuals are once again receiving unfair treatment by society. The other side of this argument however, is that being "created" equal (the very word shows the Biblical roots) people can not choose what Race they are and should not be treated differently for it. People can not choose what Sex they are and so they should not be treated differently for it. It has been argued and on some levels scientifically proven that people don't have a choose in how heterosexual/homosexual they are. However, people DO have a choose on whether to engage in acts of homosexuality or not. And there in lies the argument, the choices people make AFTER being created equal. They also believe that with the Constitution and our Laws being based on the Bible, the Bible clearly states that acts of homosexuality is immoral.
The one exception for the ideology of what you have a choice in and what you don't in the creation of the constitution is religion. And the reasons for this being in place is EXACTLY because of all the wars over the years based solely on religion, as you stated before. So even though the bases of our laws in society comes from the Bible, they wanted everyone the opportunity to worship who they pleased to keep the peace. This brings up another very gray area where there is no right or wrong answer. Keeping religion and state separate. Very hard to do when your legal structure was based on religion because you HAVE to have a basis to work with or society would be utter chaos.
It can also be argued that this is another time in history that the public/media is trying to warp and twist the original intent of the Constitution such as is did with the first amendment. The first amendment was in place to allow the public the freedom to speak up against the direction its government is going. It was in place to allow this people to peacefully gather and protest its government if needed. It was also in place to allow the media the ability to get the word out to its people on issues of the government with out censorship. All of this was in place to stop the possible corruption of the government without the fear to yourself when speaking against such things. It was NOT in place with the ideas in mind that people could do whatever they wanted under the guise of "freedom of expression" such as porn and violence in media.
A am again only trying to allow people to see both views in regards to this topic as I have debated both sides of this issues multiple times.

Jeez, is there really a need for a war between whether homosexuals are acceptable or not? Personally, I don't mind them, but I really hate how people are pretty much trying to preach that they are ok.
Back on topic, I like the pink DS, and I am NOT gay.

Since when did being homosexual have anything to do with color? And for that matter, what's wrong with homosexuals? Just because you aren't, doesn't mean you have to use it as a derogatory term. Don't be ashamed of having a pink DS because you shouldn't worry about what others think of you....just because my daughter plays with Thomas the Train toys, does that make her a lesbian? Does it matter?And homosexuals are people just like everyone else. People are people...no one is better than anyone else.
Peace, love, and respect to all
If we existed in a completely PC and accepting world, then your point might have some weight, but we don't, so it doesn't.
Keep the damn Pink DS Lite! Geeze...IT'S A DAMN GAME SYSTEM!
Peace
