Massive protests in Canada over the sick sexually explicit material schools are throwing at kids

Appeal to authority some more.

As opposed to appeal to your personal values that you can't even describe why the process is....wrong??

Narcissists are their own authority.

Geezus.
You guys are arguing with an admitted felon over something he thinks is pertinent?
He's not circumsized, because he couldn't spare the 1/4 inch.

Although female and male circumcision share similar names, the two greatly differ in terms of risks, health outcomes, and cultural norms surrounding them. One of the most compelling reasons for the distinction is that some of the more severe forms of female circumcision (also known as female genital mutilation or FGM) have very serious short-term and long-term health consequences; consequences that rarely, if ever, arise for male circumcision. In order to understand the distinction, it helps to understand the specific practices and backgrounds behind each.

(Skipped the pretty benign male circumcision paragraph)

Where male circumcision has been normalized in medical settings, female circumcision often takes place in informal, community settings and has received a significant amount of international pushback. Female circumcision is a ritual cutting or alteration of the clitoral glans (external portion of the clitoris), labia minora, or labia majora. It’s most often performed between the ages of four and ten years for cultural or religious reasons. Usually, community members, who are otherwise medically untrained individuals, are designated to conduct the procedure. Often, FGM takes place without anesthesia outside of medical settings and without sterilized medical instruments. Although FGM continues primarily in African nations and small communities in the Middle East and Asia, it’s prohibited by law in many countries around the world. Due to its divisiveness in a broader global setting, the World Health Organization has condemned the practice and identified four types of FGM.

(The very, very nasty parts that some want to see as equally bad continue the above paragraph, but I've kept this at no more than two. The link up above should dispel any confusion...

Fail.

[SatansSon666]

Y'all can keep slicing all the penises you want.
It's a free country.

[Vercingetorix]

Fail.

You have so much invested in the idea that you are above the values of others.

You have to avoid saying that your values basically coincide with that of the Judeo-christian society that you say you loathe but in fact surrounds you and which you act on every moment of your life.

Gotta laugh at Stan's argument that trimming a fingernail is EXACTLY LIKE amputating a finger!

Slicing a piece off of a healthy newborn baby penis is mutilation.
Sorry if that offends the folks with mutilated penises out there and who have mutilated their own male children because "tradition".

[SatansSon666]

THIS, below would be "severe alteration" and I'm disappointed that you equate male and female operations:

Female genital mutilation, or FGM for short, is the deliberate cutting or removal of a female's external genitalia.

It often involves the removal or cutting of the labia and clitoris, and the World Health Organization describes it as "any procedure that injures the female genital organs for non-medical reasons".

Slicing a piece of flesh off of a newborn penis is severe. It's is destroying healthy flesh.

[eek]

Boom....
Props, game recognize game.

Faulty logic, and using histrionic terminology to try to achieve.. something. A male circumcision is a common operation to achieve a valid medical purpose, like a blepharoplasty. I've had both...
