re: #290 negativ

Your analogy sucks, and you’re smart enough to know it.

If orthodontics worked like this:

Hello, Lisa. You have a slight malocclusion consisting of 8 imperfectly-aligned teeth, and your parents say they have to go. So lemme see… where are my pliers… hmmm… AH yes, here they are. Now open wide and hold still… gah! Dammit nurse, get the restraints!

then you might have a point.

You ever been to a bris? Seriously. Never seen a baby in restraints.

Why are you getting so defensive about a painful body-altering practice on underage children that isn’t even religious in nature?
