They won't for me - I'm bald, fat, white, and middle aged. The only people that would give a crap would be my immediate family. I guarantee it.

And all the k'bers that would miss yer... unless you could have a 'puter in yer cell,then.......

Ok, I agree Right and Wrong are subjective. But then you have to ask, what sort of society condones execution of rape VICTIMS and genital mutilation???

Ah, , they're only women... *

* Said with sarcasm, just incase anyone didn't pick that up..........

Ours - I was circumcised without my permission!

DON'T even get me started on THAT!!! I see it EVERY week, I just can't understand it! Why put your child at risk of death with an unnecessary procedure? Wonder what those "parents" would feel like if their child died of a reaction to the anaesthetic... sigh

However, I do differentiate between circumcision in a first world hospital and mutilation next to a mud hut in a third world country. While my views on the former are strong, I will admit it's 99% safe. But, if I were a parent, I certainly wouldn't gamble with 1% odds of killing my child.

You'll be joining the anti-vaccination, hand-knitted hemp underwear brigade at this rate...

Nah I just got my flu vaccination the other week, and you can wear whatever underwear you like as far as I'm concerned, as long as they are clean

Anaesthetic Hah!
It used to be done without anaesthetic, probably still is in the Jewish community.

What is the jewish priests motto after performing a circumcision?








"WE KEEP THE PIECE!!!"

[Eurodave]

After that, what do they do with all those foreskins?








Turn them into burger rings!!

[StoneChucker]

[QUOTE=Eurodave]After that, what do they do with all those foreskins?








Make more politicians!

[Lou Girardin]

Why couldn't they circumcise Winstone?











There's no end to the prick.

OK. So what we have here is a society that is told by it's doctors that the benefits of male circumcision in our 'hospitals' outweigh the risks...

Can't you understand that in their culture the parents are told a similar thing. To you the problems are obvious but to them (believe me, they want the best for their child) it's not so clear cut. (ouch nasty pun there) You have to get past the gasp horror shock brigade and try to understand whats really going on. These people have been doing this a long long time and are not going to stop because some outsider says STOP you are wrong! You would be offended if their specialist (the Shaman) told you what we do is repugnent to them.

I don't 'like' it either but getting people to change is not as simple as you might think!

Mate, I've got no qualms admitting that some of what I do is repugnant

[Indiana_Jones]

Frank Bullitt can crack this case.

I like Steve McQueen Too much

But I don't know if she's innocent or not, the media won't give the details.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to have our up bring and education as most of us do in NZ. Rather than degrade and attack those that have differences, maybe we should show some understanding and assist them in their needs. Most in the third world struggle dayly to get enough food to feed themselves and their families let along understand the politics of right and wrong. Maybe we should travel abit before we make judgements.
