[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you posters are just absurd.

Ear piercing is cosmetic.  It is also cultural.  For whatever it matters, I did not have my baby's ears pierced.  But, let's not pretend like ear piercing is something dramatic or traumatic.  It isn't.  That's a fact.  It's over in less than 20 seconds (I've had mine pierced; my daughter who is not 5 just had hers pierced).  That some of you are getting worked up over this -something that is frankly none of your business- is bizarre.  I find you people absolutely bizarre.  Please put your righteous indignation toward something more useful, like volunteering at a soup kitchen.

As for you utterly classless people who would call an infant or toddler "trashy" for having their ears pierced? You're really the pot calling the kettle black.  No infant or toddler could ever -ever- be called trashy.  These are children.  Please get a grip, perspective, and a dose of class.  [/quote]

er...I don't think anyone is calling babies trashy - they mean the babies are innocent victims of trashy moms.  [/quote]

What exactly do you mean by trashy? Because people from Asian, Latin American, African and some European cultures pierce their babies ears. So basically most of the enitre world is "trashy" by your estimation. I think the fact that you jump to judge other people for nothing more than earrings makes you a disgusting human being and I am happy that you would never  associate with me. I would never want to be involved with someone as vile as you.[/quote]

Calm down, I'm not of the PPs saying its trashy, I'm just an amused observer of this thread.  I meant what I said tongue in cheek.  And I  am included among the groups you list.  I agree, this thread has been bizarre.   You know what bothers me more than earrings?  Those super frilly headbands people wrap around their babies bald heads.  They look uncomfortable! [/quote]
