When my duaghter got peiced it definatly wasnt to show her off. It was more in the line of a parental obligation. Sure its a beauty thing are you saying that isnt a legitimate reason ??!!! I belive you would be hard pushed to find 1 girl in 1000 that would complain about having her ears peiced before she was of the age of consent or in her teens. It is normal everyday cultural requirment of our society for wemon and girls to have earings.
As to the CDC quote i dont believe they existed a couple 1000 years ago, and those arugments of medical worth go back and forth.. What is of little doubt is that your are born with a foreskin and it wont grow back... a peiced ear will close up if not used.
By the arguments standards of abuse .. circumcision should not be done until the child is of the age of concent and can decide for himself.
At this point im going to agree to disagree. As you stand zero chance of convincing me that ear peicing is abuse or abusive, and i probably stand as much chance convincing you other wise or that Cicumcision is abusive.
