The piercing is decorative and even functional for some.

Decorative perhaps, but functional???? For what? Oral sex?

Kids are more likely to die crossing the street or using firearms. Just like liberals you will use anything to justify forcing your belief system on others. It's not right.

I don't see where anyone said we were going to use force to stop you from mutilating yourself. It's just that we think you're a maroon.

Yes, it is functional for oral sex.

The 'banter' in this thread is what I put up with from liberals when they find out I own firearms: 'Anyone stupid enough to own guns will remove themselves or their kids from the gene pool', 'Firearms are barbaric weapons of murder'. I will not malign another for having a tongue piercing merely because I find them unattractive. My energy is better spent defending my own beliefs (some of which happened to be protected rights at one time).

Hmmm functional and decorative.

I work for a computer software help desk and several years ago one of my coworkers decided to add a tongue barbell to her collection of tattoos. It certainly was decorative and she was quite happy to show all of us her newly acquired infection. Believe me when I say we didn't ask to see this. Functional? Perhaps. Management received no less than twenty complaints from customers who stated she was both difficult to understand and annoying because she constantly clicked her barbell against her teeth and they could hear it.

To each his own but I sure can't understand that choice.
