What is happening to this country?

[TomFulp]

Ok... The topic might seem a bit ODD, but still, this is just crazy:

Georgia Bans Female Genital Piercing (Associated Press)
Excellent Commentary via BMEZINE

You just can't do that! Basically, some politician found out that women had their genitals pierced - and he had never heard of such a thing. It shocked him so much, that he decided to ban it. It passed the house with a 160-0 vote! WHO ARE THE MORONS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY?

It's not like I love female genital piercings or anything like that, but it is a completely safe process that is enjoyable for women, and MEN DO IT TOO. Oh, but men are still allowed to do it in Georgia - that's the best part!

Between this and the whole Howard Stern debacle, I have to really question where this country is heading.

[afijsohfan]

How will they get rid of the already existent piercings....perhaps some kind of magnet?

[peoples]

Thats politics for you, they took away womens right to peirce their genitals, soon it will be the right to vote, and next the right to eat ice cream on saturdays outside of the local chinese restaurant because mr.fang wong doesnt like it

its all politics

[KyleRoberts]

Holy crap...that's scary that such a thing happened....just shows that we have a bunch of old men running the state who have nothing better to do than pass legislature based on their personal feelings. What asses.

Will we all be such old fogies when we're all their age and running this country?

This country is going to hell, plain and simple. Almost every other country out there hates us. One of these days, we're going to get nailed and we won't be able to do shit about it. Sure this country is strong, but what'll happen if everyone else just decides to nail us at once. There wouldn't be a damn thing we could do. If Bush wins the election, that might be what happens. All Bush does is what his Daddy tells him to and that's a very bad thing.

This country needs to open its eyes on many things. Its just getting more stupid by the second. Still people from other countries want to come to good old America. Why? I really want to know why. What's so good about this country anyway? I fail to see what good there is.

Don't tell me you have one on your willy. AAAH Crap, now you made me curious. Well do you have one?

To mars.

Ah, those idiot will eventually ban everything cool, and America will suck more than it already does...

Wow. 160-0? Really? I guess some people love genital piercings and others do not. Those who don't obviously lean towards political jobs in America.

That really sucks. I do not know where we are heading. Maybe because politians are not really that smart.

[Sir-Davey]

So.... the guy has never heard of pussy-piercing?
What kind of porn was he watching? Did he EVER watch porn at all?
Geez.. That guy is a looser.

[bumcheekcity]

Conclusion: America has gone mad.

[roninjotatan]

So what’s going to be next are they going to say women can’t go into the work force or maybe they cant drive after 8:00 p.m.?

We really need to get involved with our government and make it a point to show our leaders that we wont put up with there shit. Everyone who can vote should e-mail there congress men/women.

[Earfetish]

Lol - American politicians are stupid. They outlaw whatever happens to offend some elderly idiot, who's been living in an upper-class bubble all his life.

You should all vote for a 3rd party.

[AnarchySchoolbus]

I know how to solve this problem:

TOM FULP FOR PRESIDENT 2004

[DuMa-RyoHahn]

in short this country is going to hell in a hand basket. when I heard this I fell out of my chair. it is insane what people are doing now and it makes you wonder what else can go wrong and how much time is left before we are all really fucked. as for the howard stern thing. I heard what he said about bush. and it is true, since clear channel and bush are so buddy buddy they are trying ti take him down. that was a bad move cause now all the people who are stern fans will vote for john keary. I am just happy we are getting bush out of office. and for those people who think it is still the same conutry as it was let's say 6-7 years ago, go outside and run into oncoming traffic cause you are a fucking moron

You just can't do that!

If I didn't read crazy stories like that every day on Fark, I'd be mildly surprised... some people just have too much time on their hands I guess.

[Jat]

sup guys im in AP US History as a sophmore in highschool and were actually debating this topic in class so i find this very interesing...

See the House is made up of 435 members i think it is and the senate is made up of 100 members. Theres your problem, we have 535 men who still believe that women were made for birthing running our country! We need to start electing more intelligent and time honored people of the modern era. If we keep electing people just because hes against or abortion or what not this problem will exist for ages...

This country is going to shit! I am a loyal patriot of this country and believe in it strongly despite all the crap it does and the wrong shit we get pulled into wihtout thinking, but i still love the good old US of A! We need to do something about this first censorship still exists in books like the Mockingbird, and now were taking away the rights for women to do what they want, it took them over a decade to earn those rights from our sexist forefathers and now were just heading back in the circle if you ask me!

We need to do something about this, the fact that Tom is making this an issue on NG is great, I applaud your efforts Tom! Keep up the good work, great site and great initiative to keep our minds going and not numbed by the cartoons!

I'm not trying to kiss ass, but that'd be cool! Just imagine how big NG would get then!

[Violet-AIM]

That's messed up. Women should be allowed to pierce whatever parts they want to, if that's what they want to do. With it being such a one sided vote, it just shows that it's the older conservative men who are making these sexist decisions. The part where they would send you to prison for a female genital piercing sounds too harsh. Well, couldn't they just go to another state to get the piercing... and if it's done in another state, then wouldn't it be okay? What are they gonna try to ban next, nipple piercings?

[kaligoddess]

That's just ridiculous. I personally hate genital piercings, but what other people are getting pierced is none of my business, nor is it the business of those in power. I can understand the ban on genital piercings on minors, but for consenting adults... well, its their genitals. And just on women? What rock did these asses crawl out from under?

This one line pretty much sums up my entire views of this country and its workings and all of that good stuff:

The country will always suck as long as it's run by politicians.

Well according to a vote on the room 11 forum, an ameba can do better than bush and blair combined! I think it's right!

[AleksM]

[Rammer]

tom should be the pres. at least this country wouldnt suck then. lol. bush is the most pathetic president we ever had..."oh no a woman peirces her...girl tingy! icky icky! i must stop this b4 i am hated for not banning it!" what a friggin dumbass.

[Rammer]

oops! for some reason i thought georgia was george...nvm my last post...im beign stupid again 2 day...

[wismty]

Why are you people saying that Tom should be prez?

He barely give us any attention, He doesn't take the time to know us (NG users) better, He rarely goes into the General BBS, and if he does he never posts. In my opinon

Tom would be a bad president...

[Blackmagic]

My god that is so wrong.
America is supposed to be a place where you are allowed to do whatever you want! I cant believe anyone would care so much over something so insignificant like peircing your genitals.

There are thousands of people dying everyday in the world and some stupid prick is causing a stick about THIS!?
