Self-mutilation is a mental illness.

Yes, but body modification isn't.
I don't suffer from any mental illnesses and I'm modified.

I agree.

They should worry more about arresting and deporting illegal aliens than about tongue splitting.

i really don't think its self-hate that drives someone to want to do that to themselves.
I know a girl that hung from four hooks in her back and i think shes really happy with herself.
Its kind of funny really...you can judge someone for what they wear or do to themselves such as the splitting..but you dont know anything about the people that do it. Truth be told..i would rather be around tounge splitters, branded, cut, pierced, tattooed people anyday rather than people like you.
You're closed minded and you all think alike.
its people like you who made going to school hard for people.
i dunno, the word nazi comes to mind when i think about you.

Notice how many "tounge splitters" are coming out of the woodwork today? It's cracking me up.

You know, you really can use your shift key.
Honest, I am not making this up.

OK, let me be the first to say that I think splitting ones' tongue is stupid - very stupid. But does the government - at any level - really have to try to outlaw stupidity?

Can you say, "Click it or Ticket"? The painful, bumpy ride down that slippery slope has already begun.

Maybe they should just pass a law against people doing stupid things.

Never happen though, because then they would have to adjourn and never reconvene.

LOL, I agree. YOu should see how they operate in the workplace. The government needs to be governed.

Have you noticed the spelling and punctuation? Who would have guessed tongue splitting, body piercing, branding and the ability to use spell check are related? Really very strange.
