“This is health dollars that are essentially wasted treating infections that shouldn’t have occurred because of some desire to have a piece of metal sticking out of your body. It doesn’t make much sense to me

So just because it is against piercings it must be wrong and horrid?

You are becoming very close-minded, my child.

no honey.
did you read the entire article?

they are trying to take ALL pierced/tattooed people off of health care.
it is less harmful than most things kids/people do.

it's a freak occurance that serious health problems arise.
it just gets more publicity.

Quote: and as a point of amusing trivia, there is a case of a pierced woman who was struck by lightning, but was saved from injury by her navel ring which diverted the electrical flow... but I digressWe both know from Myth Busters that this is simply not true. This woman has some wonky facts and is too biased on this subject to be treated as a valid sourse. But I digress as well

Isn't the point that putting yourself knowingly at risk for increased health risk, no matter how slight or from how dumb an action, your invalidating a free government health program simply for not respecting the government institution and 'wasting' their money, not to mention yours and your neighboor's? I'm not saying I think either side is right or wrong but, I guess the point is why put government money up to fix a problem someone willing put them selves at risk for when they certainly had the choice not to?

oh oh Elf, ask Garnet for the scary nipple peircing story... it still disturbs me... o0;

[elf_da]

but if they want to go after folks to pierce for endangering themselves, oughtn't they go after folks who do more dangerous things?

just a little ruffled.

scary nipple piercing story? I'll ask.. whenever I see her. >_>
