You're all assuming that banning female genital piercings is a step in the wrong direction--that removing a right previously given in this society is a step backwards. I'm not here to advocate one side over the other, although I do hold an opinion on this.
This country, its laws, and its demeanor have changed greatly since its formation. Some have been clearly good--nowadays anyone can vote and own property, as opposed to the original idea that only white males can do such things. Do certain good freedoms granted to all mean that all freedoms granted are good? Just because you can do something, does that mean you should? Does that mean it should be accepted across the board?
Laws are set up to, in their current application, protect the interests of the majority. You go out, you vote, and those who tally more checks on the ballots decide what goes down. I think it speaks more ill of us that we as a nation view that running rings and chains through our genitalia is not only tolerable, but acceptable, than the fact that in Georgia such a law was struck down.
If someone I knew had genital piercings, it wouldn't affect me too much. I'd tolerate it. There's not much of a reason not to. But that doesn't change the fact that I don't think it's acceptable.
That's the point of America. We're here so that people can, basically, play by their own rules underneath the umbrella of the laws established by our government. What that inevitably leads to, and has markedly happened in the history of this nation, is that enough people arise so that their voices may be heard and they say, "Hey! What about us? We want to do this, and you won't let us! Give us that freedom!" And if the group fights long and hard enough, the laws change to accept their will. Does that mean every group with a gripe deserves to have the law changed for them?
This country is going to Hell, certainly, but because while it acknowledges its faults in some areas and strives to fix them, it holds no integrity in the foundation upon which it was built.
Oh, and if some video games get banned due to their content, so what? Cry me a river. There are still countries where if you're suspected of slandering the head of state, you get dragged out of your house at night, shot, and buried in an unmarked grave. Africa is constantly being ripped apart by tribal fighting, AIDS, and famine. And you're whining about video games and women's "right" to shove metal bolts through their vaginal flesh?
