Just about the DUMBEST thing I ever heard of

1. A massive backlash against tattoos, piercings, and all other "body modifications" as they become a "conformist" thing to do and are thus deemed no longer cool.

From my experience, that is what is happening. Kids are becoming more conservative these days and are swinging back towards normality. (Also, good luck getting a job with a Fortune 500 company with odd metal bits stuck in all sorts of places, giant visible tattoos or a split tongue...)

I bet the .com companies hired a bunch of these free-spirit types. Then again, here in the .gov biz we've got some 'interesting' folks as well....

Someone into the whole self-mutilation thing does it to themselves. Politicians do it to you.

LOL!

this is why I raise my family in Indiana.

I guess I just wasted all my time riding around, huntin lizzards and making forts out in the field when I coulda been having my gents pierced or tounge split.

Man ain't that the truth. That's what I did too.

First off, I think the .gov should not be passing laws against this. I could care less what anybody does to themselves as long as:

1) It does'nt cost me money.

2) I do not get sued for discrimination for not hiring them.

Other than that, knock yourself out.

Tounge splitting = further proof there is no cure for stupidity. This thread is the first I've heard of this BTW.

piercings, etc.

I've had a view on this for many years. You may do what you wish so long as it hurts no one else (ok, I'm a Libertarian) and the gov't should have no say.

Personally I say, " I have had so many holes put in me involentarily, that I am not going to have any put in me volentarily!"

 

[GitSome45]

I pierced my forehead one time with .451 sized piece of copper coated lead...

Looked "KEWL", but I died.

Oh-well

forked tongue

Just wanted to mention to RUSS who mentioned the forked tongues on the legislators, etc. There is a difference between a natural forked tongue and these artificial items being produced in the yaps of America. Perhaps the Natural Forked Tongue [NFT] crowd is getting nervous that the Fad Forkers are getting delusions of grandeur.

I do hope that neutering becomes the next "cool" fad. But something that might work as well is to get a fad going that a guy could split his You Know What [YKW] so he could YKW to two YKWs at once.

just a thought from the mad bird

 

[Wildalaska]

If you think forking is wierd, try infibulation and subincision...

[StLGlocker]

The line about how 'spiritual' it is reminds of of those idiots who drill holes in their skulls (trepanation) for the 'incredible enlightenment' that results

 

[Darrin]

Perhaps we can scrape together $100 to get the kid neutered

I've got $10.

I used to work at a company with someone with a split tongue, among other "modifications." You wouldn't notice the tongue unless he pointed it out to you. This person was not unintelligent by any stretch of the imagination. Some of the stuff being hurled around here seems to be just so much reactionary conservative tripe.

Maybe I should get my tongue split.

Like all the resident certified libertarians said, it's none of the State's business what people do with their tongues.

Yep. Self-mutilation is the sign of good judgment, alright.
I suppose you think lizard man, the Ph.D. student in philosphy, is a person is going to be or should be taken seriously? Horsemanure!

Stupidity may not be an apt description, but mentally ill sure is.

Like all the resident certified libertarians said, it's none of the State's business what people do with their tongues.

It isn't, but don't expect to get a job outside the local coffee bar/aromatherapy parlor/candle shop/tattoo parlor unless you can also play a guitar.
