Rev Stargazer,

I agree.

I don't like the government involvement either, and we certainly don't need anymore legislation. I am left wondering though, who will stop all this? People have just lost all their marbles, so if there isn't a law/regulation to stop crap like that, how do we contain the madness?

OK, I think it's time to ban politicians. If you hold any type of public office or are running for public office, you are hereby illegal and will face incarceration. It's now time to take back OUR country. It's not their's, it's ours and we should start acting like it!

You know what they should ban? Yellow rotting toenails!! The ones that have cracks an are lifting up off the skin bed of your toe. Some even look all filled with Pus. EWWWWWW

That is the most disturbing, disgusting thing I have ever seen. They need to make it a law if you have those toenails you MUST always wear CLOSED toe shoes.

Going barefoot with such offending feet should illicit jail time.

lol


Good Grief What's next?

This is not something that is not geared toward "normal" tattoos and piercings. This is geared toward people who tattoo horrific things on their faces, and have implanted hooks in their skin, horns in their heads, whiskers in their cheeks, (i.e the guy who has cheetah spots tattooed all over, including his face, and had whiskers implanted)..

Yes, it is borderline encroaching, but people who do this are mentally unstable, and yes, it sets a bad example for children and society.

Oh, and before I am labeled some anti-everything/pro gov. person, I'm not! I have piercings and tattoos.
 Quoting: iamlizzyb


Who cares if they are 'crazy'? As long as they are not hurting anyone else, what's the problem?

And as for setting a 'bad example' for children, LOL! have you been to a Walmart lately?!
 Quoting: Rev StarGazer


Scary people at Walmart are traumatizing, I agree. However, seeing people with the over the top horns, complete facial tats, and extreme things of that nature is what I was referring too.

Please, I mean no disrespect, but the whole "I'm not hurting anyone else," excuse is ridiculous, and overplayed. If they are mutilating their body, it needs to stop.

If I were to chop off my hand, because I thought it was cool, then I would be committed, but if I mutilate my face, and have horns implanted, and have hooks sewn in my back to hang from, its no problem?? That's like lobbying for suicide.

Has humanity lost all sense of pride, self-respect, morality, decency, values, and dignity?
 Quoting: iamlizzyb


Body modification is an ancient practice, only the methods have changed due to technological advances. I fail to see how it's anybody's business what a person chooses to do within their own skin. Where does it end? There are myriad rules that deal with how you affect those around you, but now people want to take it further and impose rules on how you affect yourself. It's totally unacceptable. Some body modifications may strike me as ugly, and I may not understand why they would do it, but that's up to them. The body is merely a shell, we'll all look the same when we're rotting in the earth, so what if they want to make theirs more interesting.
Out of this ugliness may come,
Some day, so beautiful a flower,

So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind

The Senate passed a bill on Tuesday that would ban non-traditional body art and skin implants.

The bill's sponsor, Senator Missy Irvin of Mountain View, wants to limit body art procedures, particularly scarification and dermal implants.

Why do Americans allow for so many laws to be made by social conservative shitheads?

Does this mean - if passed, that new state residents or tourists with "illegal tats" would be in violation? Where does it end, and what's the purpose anyway?

So how are they going to divide between normal but kind of extreme and abnormal and really extreme?

What kind of legalese are they going to use to do that?

This just seems to me like it will end up costing the state a lot of $$ in legal fees as they try to defend it.
