So all ye're gonna' do is speak about it? Disagree with the policies, but do absolutely nothing else to help? If so, why bother? People all over the world have been "speaking about" issues such as these, but they don't do anything about it either. So why waste the hot air?

Well, James, it's like most anything else ....it depends on where ye're talking about. In some locales in India, the percentage is quite high, but in others, it's virtually non-existent.
But I'm sure that you were trying to point out that such things even happen in Los Angeles or London, too, right? If so, it does!
But this issue of female pussy-cutting is just like so many other issues in the world .....we always talk about them and claim to really care, yet we do nothing about it! And if so, what good is all the useless talk? In fact, such talk, such condemnation is probably a good reason that Africans might not like us righteous, sanctimonious asses! If we don't like something, we should invade the fuckin' countries and force them to do what we like ...or else!
Or is all the talk just ...idle, psycho-babble bullshit over fine wine in warm, secure homes?

Welp, where are the cultres that practice this trying to go with it? What's the point? Why do they do this? I think the logic behind why they do it is their own buisness, but in the event an outsider wanted to be nit-picky, why not improve the existing system?
Assuming the cultures that were doing this were having a large amount of failures/problems with their current methods, I think the solution would be to find a way to do this that doesn't fail.
Basicly, create a method that does not physically or psychologically damage the female, and still removes the clit.

On the same note, I've pondered whether or not the ubangi still use the giant wooden discs these days, or (seeing as how body piercing has caught on with the rest of the world) do they use any of the modern stuff-- like have they switched to pyrex/stainless steel/titanium jewelry due to problems with the old stuff (I don't think it's possible to autoclave a big chunk of wood)?
What about all the people that get scar designs- I wonder if they have it done by a "professional' in sanitary conditions, or is it still done in the back yard by your cousin's best friend who does scars designs for all the nearby villages?
I have seen on TV somewhere that alot of the polonysian (sp) type island folk get their face designs done in a studio with a tattoo gun nowadays

Well dood! Instead of trying to put India down, why not show all of us what a great guy you are and go dig those babies out of the trash?
The industrialized countries could learn from India. Spending 500,000 dollars to keep a sick baby alive is foolish. Babies are a dime a dozen. They could feed 10,000 other babies with the 500,000 they spend keeping that one baby alive.

But is that a reasonable excuse? Am I supposed to respect that culture? Am I supposed to accept that because babies are a dime a dozen? Thats horrible! What kind of society shits out babies a dime a dozen and discards the ones that are sick?

No! The western world should form a powerful coalition and march against that nation and force them to do things in the western way!!
In fact, the western world should force any and all nations to do and act exactly the way we want or we should invade them and take over that nation.
No nation of the world should be permitted to do whatever they want! If they have different cultural standards, they should submit a request to the western world and seek approval before they institute those standards!

yeah we should all conform and hide under our computers ey baron x?Baron Max said:No, "my" way is to let other cultures cut female pussy if they so chose!
me::::::h we know we know. shameful!
How and why do you feel that it's YOUR place to dictate to others? ...to try to change the culture of others? ...to make others think like you?

duendy said:
No, Duendy, and that's where ye're absolutely wrong! We should all accept the wants and needs and cultures of others ...without condemnation! How can you ever expect to get along with others if you don't exercise some tolerance of the beliefs and cultures of others? How can you expect to get along with others if you continually condemn them for what they do?

James R said:
Okay ...ye're right ....and that's perfect justification for attacking Iraq and getting rid of the Saddam regime! Thanks, James!
James R said:
Oppression??? Do tell. Cutting the female's pussy out is cultural tradition, James, and has been for a gazillion years ...AND, most importantly, many/most of the young girls submit to it willingly and voluntarily. Oppression? By whose definition?

Allowing you access to a computer and to the internet is even more foolish.Happeh said:
They are? I take it you've never had to squeeze one out? If not, shut the hell up.
It is so easy for you to say that $500,000 to keep a sick child alive is foolish, but then I guess cowards like you and Baron (who thinks it's a good idea) can only carry on about it. Had you and Baron been the ones to have to sit there and make that decision to allow those babies to die and actually watch them die, I'm sure you would change your mind. I'd suggest you visit a neo-natal intensive care ward at your local hospital and tell the parents there that their children should be left to die. But then again, cowards like you are merely that... cowards who dream of your own perfect little worlds but would then choke on your own vomit if your little dreams were to in fact come true.
Hmm... true... but just think of how many babies could be fed if the West stopped invading other countries and stopped inventing new ways to kill other people. Think of how many babies could be fed just on the Iraq war budget alone.
you ae on about conformity. picture springs to mind is Mrs Thatcher having tea with a torturing dictator....to get on with him. sucksBaron Max said:
i dont want to get on with people who believ mutilating female genitalia is good. are we clear?....
and errr YOU are talkinbout getting along with people....??
Bells said:
No, I wouldn't! Because at the same time, tens of thousands of babies just like that ONE are starving to death. What ye're doing is valuing that ONE baby above TENS OF THOUSANDS of other babies ....HOW COULD YOU BE SO CRUEL TO ALL OF THOSE OTHER BABIES???
Bells said:
By the same token, I'd like YOU to visit each of the tens of thousands of parents that you've decided to save ONE baby while allowing all of theirs starve to death.
Bells said:
Oh, shoot! I hadn't thought of that!!! Thanks, Bell, I'll see to it that the "west" makes the appropriate changes immediately. Geez, why didn't you tell us that before now?!
