Okay, last post of the day, sorry for being spammy

And Lizziey is gonna kill me over this one too...

She pierced Seth's ear. The left ear. And when I saw it, the first thing I said was "isn't that the gay side?" This is NOT to say "how could you get him a gay piercing" or anything, I was just showing off my knowledge. This starts off a huge debate, where she swears the right side is the "gay side" and other people say it's the left. There's no consensus.

So, a completely informal poll, so informal that it's not even a real poll:

Which side used to be used to indicate homosexuality? The left or the right? Or don't you know/care?

If you think about it, the people who agree with piercing babies and young kids who cannot choose for themselves are in actuality the conservative ones. I agree with giving a kid the right to choose whether he/she wants metal shoved through their body. I'd consider that a pretty 'liberal' standpoint.

Really? Hmm. I hate the idea of piercing babies. And I'm extremely conservative. Can I connect this to abortion without starting a flame war? Probably not... oh well, too late. Anyway, I suppose you'd just respond by pointing out other issues, such as baptism (or religion in general), or spanking, or something... Why don't I just argue with myself then, and save you the trouble?

To reply to the original post, I have no idea really, although I seem to recall from a discussion on NC that it was the right ear. I'm probably wrong though.

Sure you can apply it to abortion. Mother should have the right to choose. ;D
