Okay chill out people. When I said that Wisemon was being close minded I was directing it at his " Piercings are ugly" statement. That is all I was trying to point out that piercings to some, are way of expressing oneself. I am getting the piercings done, and they are my choice. I appreciate the comments ( no matter how one sided or blunt) and have taken them all into consideration. And as for the " we demand the right to treat our bodies as our own, and we strongly urge all to do the same." line. I was trying to get a point across. we ( the modified) demand the right to do what we want with our bodies. We are not trying to brainwash the community. The whole " we urge you all to do the same" is simply stating that you should do what you want to with your body and not think of anyone but yourself and what makes you happy. I didn't mean that I think people should be selfish but I know that people need to take themselves into consideration when making any kind of bodily change and do it even if there workplace prohibits it. When you think about it, almost any body change can be covered, removed, or even unnoticed.
