Re: Ear Piercing
but that's exactly my point mate. Customs are not based on any form of justifications.

Re: Ear Piercing
Most customs are based on justifications which were valid when the custom came about. Not eating pork, male circumcision, clinking glasses when saying "Cheers", being permitted to take 4 wives, keeping thy hand out of plackets...

Re: Ear Piercing
But all these customs would have been called common practice back then right? They evolved into customs, I guess.

Re: Ear Piercing
I'd be livid! If i had a baby and if I had a husband and he took her off and had holes put in her ears at such a young age without my permission there would be hell to pay! You are absolutely right to be pissed off.
I feinted having my ears pierced, it bloody hurt, why would you do that to a baby?

I read that they expect a similar demand to Germany in 06 / 7 applicants per ticket. However I also expect that most foreigners are going to apply for Rio / SP and Braslia (not sure offhand if Recife is hosting, if so - them aswell). Curitiba and Porto Alegre will attract Argentina and German fans I would image.
June will be fine tempwise, warmer than Scotland that's for sure!
I'm heading off there in a couple weeks - 3 weeks of doing nothing and since I'm working my notice - the blackberry is staying on my desk!

Re: Ear Piercing
Had a bit of an argument with the wife last night, she had our daughters ears pierced at the hospital. Young Martina is not yet 3 months old.
Wife tells me this is normal in Brazil while I am I of the opinion that 3 months is far too young.
Am I right to be pissed off or am I in the wrong on this?

Re: Ear Piercing
Sounds like people who have their foreskins cut off as infants - they rarely see what the problem is.
Body modification, should be left until a child is old enough to know what it actually entails. In the case of ear piercing I would suggest sometime in the mid teenage years for most. For other more invasion modifications it should be the same as elective surgery - an adult decision.
Custom or belief is no longer a valid excuse for meddling with young people's bodies.

Re: Ear Piercing
I just logged into several of my applications and they all still say pending which is better than rejected!
Curitiba was the 3rd most popular venue which I found surprising, I would have thought the more common tourist cities like Belo Horizonte / Natal / Recife would have been more popular.

Re: Ear Piercing
I had an email from FIFA a few days ago saying they have delayed the deadline for finding out about it until the 10th November (was initially the 5th November), something to do with the Brazilian authorities supervising the draw.

Re: Ear Piercing
Promising indeed! Now I just have to hope that my other applications aren't all approved, otherwise we'll be having a very quiet November...

Female circumcision: control of females' sexuality by weak males
That's an educated guess.
