There are lots of decent humans, but decent legislation is rarer than rocking horse shit. Hopefully the rest of EU will soon follow Malta's example.

What's really weird is that it's Malta, though.

That's basically what any decent human should recognize. The principle of "Fuck off, it's my body, my decisions."

Please go right ahead, by all means. But remember that you have to detach the cannon in public areas, unless your state has open carry laws concerning implanted shoulder weapons.
...assuming you actually survive the operation.

I really wish America respected bodily autonomy. I'm disgusted at how it's still legal to mutilate children here.

What's wrong with mutilating children?

I'm sorry, what are we talking about here? I feel like I'm missing some important context.

It's still legal to perform surgery on newborn intersex people's genitals for some reason.

That's an oddly specific fact to care about.

Oh I see.

That's an oddly specific fact to care about.
...It's entirely in context with the conversation about Malta's new law.

Is this a circumcision thing? This sounds like a circumcision thing.

Is there any legislation regarding implanted shoulder weapons? There should be. Getting some Adam Jensen shit would be rad.

Yep. *sips tea*

'Course, actually using it would be destructive to other peoples bodies (or property), so that's when people step in. ;P

And self-mutilation is alright too, legislatively I mean. One persons body-modification is another persons self-mutilation, and I don't trust laws to be nuanced enough to deal with it. Though by all means, have psychological support available if there's a deeper cause that needs a helping hand.

And I don't like circumcision, either. If you want to though, go ahead. Dunno why, but whatever. :v Kids is a little wonky though. Feels skeevy.

Isn't Malta the only European country where divorce is illegal, and in general a staunchly Catholic place? I guess they're just taking 'Love the sinner, hate the sin' seriously...
