fuck it let em do it, how does one gaging their ears affect anyone else?
bottom line is it's a personal choice, you know that little thing i like to call freedom

If they're doing it to conform, that's not freedom, that's called brainwashing.

No, no, no.

A better question is "how the fuck not?".

brainwashing? how?

It really just depends.  Some people get it because its the cool thing to do, others just like them.  You can't really say everyone who has plugs has been brainwashed...

If you get them because it's the "cool thing to do", then it's brainwashing.

If you get them because you like them, you like them because you were brainwashed.

It's amazing how defensive people with gauged ears get.  If you say one thing you get a knee-jerk reaction along the lines of:

"Who are you to judge, stop being close-minded, etc."

These people's lives revolve around gigantic holes in their ears.  Its quite often people define their entire existence by stretched ears.
