[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was totally waiting for the "mutilation" poster to get on this thread!  Love the stupidity of the word mutilation in context of ear piercing (and I'm anti-piercing for young children).  Here is the definition of the word mutilation:

mu·ti·late
 [myoot-l-eyt] Show IPA

verb (used with object), mu·ti·lat·ed, mu·ti·lat·ing. 
1. 
to injure, disfigure, or make imperfect by removing or irreparably damaging parts: Vandals mutilated the painting.

2. 
to deprive (a person or animal) of a limb or other essential part.

A tiny, pin dot hole is not disfigurment or removal of an appendage (this also applies to circumcision).[/quote]

You just disproved your own point by posting that definition. Are you really that dense? You actually do sound like someone who would pierce their kid's ears.[/quote]

People's ears are not DISFIGURED when they get them pierced.  You are not depriving someone of a limb.  Oh and yeah you caught me.  I'm actually taking my four year old DD out to get triple piercings tomorrow.  Did you skip your meds or something?  You are quite nuts about this.  My DD won't be able to get her ears pierced until she's a teenager and that's my prerogative just as OP has the right to do what she wants. Why don't you just worry about your own kids.[/quote]
