Yes, no child should be made to be mutilated under any mythological justification, but, that child, or any person, should have the right to decide whether they wish to be mutilated themselves.
me)))))))No, i dont agree. an adult maybe, but not until they agree t talk about it. a child never. a child is really vulnerble to te demands of whatever tradition tey find temselves in. we are going round in circles with tis and will have maybe to agree to differ, as i dont feel i can change your mind
I understand, which is why I think before they go ahead with it they should fully understand all the information, and base their decision on it alone.
me))))))the adult yes. but the child should NOT be allowed to be mutilated, nor their guardians be allowed to allow it
It was not a whole article, just a short paragraph in Wikipedia.
Female Genital Cutting
me))))OK, i've read it. yes your right, it is quite short. i would rathe love to hear a full account as to why a natrual woman would want to mutilate her sexual organs......!
Yes, I think we have established that.
I just think something as life changing and personal as this procedure should be entirely up to the individual, including your daughter.
I find it odd that you see everything wrong with someone, a stranger even, mutilating their genitals, but see nothing wrong with knocking your daughter out to prevent her from having a procedure she desired.
me)))))twas a dramatic example, trying to cnvey my passion about tis. of course , literally, i propbably wouldn't knoc her out. hopefully it wouldn't come to tat. in fact that kind of ting would most likely mke her more stuboorn to DO it
Or would she love it because you wanted her to ?
me)))ie., sex? oe could say same for wanting to self mutilate: would she want to do it cause i/culture/religion wants here to? all tat has to be xplored.......SEXUALITY is the essence of us. why the **** wud anyone want to mutilate our main source of ecstasy, unless it was an indoctrination from sex-fearing patriarchy, whic women believe is teir own feeling
I wouldn’t have it done because it simply does not appeal to me.
me))but WHY? i m not asking you abot a new hairsyle.......please be more specific?
For the same reason I
would pierce my ears, my lip or my bellybutton, and someone else would think that entirely wrong, and that I was mutilating myself.
People practice a lot of forms of body modification. Who is to say which is right and which is wrong?
me))))Body piercings are different. they dont necessarily mutilate ....but in most cases add to sensuality. can be dangerous tho. story in our paper. a lad had a lip piercing andhas died from septicemia
And I don’t know why some women would have it done, or why it appeals to them. I don’t need to know why, I just need to know that some women do want it done, and that I am going to respect that because if it is what they feel would make them happier then I believe they should get it done.
me)))))i am too savy about mythological conditioning to leave it at that
Why do people have to eat REAL good food? Why not just reasonably healthy food?
me:::::both the same....?
I agree, there is a problem with the packet shit they feed people. In fact, there are an increasing number of schools in Australia that are getting rid of packet food, and soft drinks, and are selling healthier food like fruit and sandwiches.
Although, those healthy options were always there, people just chose to ignore them for whatever reaons and not buy them. That is the problem.
me:::no theproblem is tat natrual good food's more expensive as i explained--here in UK. yes, there also is mass conditioning for people to eat crap food too. thisis secifically aimed at people on low income--via advertizn on TV etcetc
No, I don’t think all parents do, but certainly some just don't care.
I do think, however, that even lower class people can still feed their children healthy food, even if it is not organic. I think there are many healthy options for lower income earners; many just choose not to take notice. Plus, those cereals promoted with cartoon characters cost just as much as wholegrain bread, so why not feed your children the healthier bread?
me)))))tis is complex. have you read about Edward Bernays. read about him and how poeple are manipulated by propaganda to buycrap tey dont want. dont blame it all on te individual
No, someone in a Cult may not be thinking straight.
Then again, we do not know that for sure, they may be thinking very clearly, and agree with the groups view, and genuinely want the procedure done.
me)))))no. i dont trust any cult. especially where people are led to believe they WANT to MUTILATE themselves! i trust myswelf on this
I don't see any problems with it.
If I could not understand something I would just ask.
