I'm okay with tattoes and piercing, but I just don't get why anyone would want to stetch out their ear lobes.

Have these people not lived long enough to know that WE CHANGE OUR MINDS. Especially about styles and fads. It doesn't matter how much you love something now, how cool it is, etc.... when it's out...it's SO out! People loved bell bottoms in the 60's/70's....you don't see them wearing them now. Same with every fad. You look back at old pictures and laugh. So why do something so permanent and uncomfortable looking.

Anybody...anybody?????
