It helps recognize who the stupid people are and they do it willingly! (as opposed to my plan to stamp a big red S on their forehead)Here's one for you...my 18 year daughter, who is 4.0 student, in the National Honor society, and scored 1375 on her SAT's has been campaigning hard for me to let her get her tongue pierced.

I'm sorry to inform you of this, but tongue piercing is for SEXUAL satisfaction for the man in her life. You need to expose him as an abuser, and get your daughter to some religious edcation and better friends.
