    Don't you worry about getting stabbed? There is no way in HELL i would go anywhere without a gun. Not anymore. I've had people roll up on me, who knows what would of happened if i wasn't armed.

    Really? Not in America. We love Israel, Obama is stupid. 1 More year of this, and he is gone.

  • Umm, no, not hopefully, Obama will definitely be out. He legally isn't allowed to run for a third term.

    Feminism already is egalitarianism. It's a misnomer, like homophobia not actuall being a phobia, just an 'ism'.

    Feminism has done wonderful things for men. For example, a big push in feminism at the moment is for it to become acceptable for men to wear 'feminine clothes' - How society defines masculinity is as damaging as what society decides femininity is.

    I don't really understand why this forum is indeed so right wing. Telltale's games don't seem to be particularly right wing, except for the male:female ratio, and that's improving in most of their games.

    Don't be afraid to share progressive views, though. Being afraid of expressing a non-harmful opinion is what conservatives want, and allows them to pretend dissent is non-existent.

    Share my concerns on this conservative-ass forum? Lol, I don't think so.

  • Why is that a bad on Obama? Bush was the one who sent us in.

    Destabilizing Libya? Yes, I'll blame Obama, but Iraq going to hell is (and you know a lot better than I do, so please correct me if I'm wrong) almost totally Bush.

    Though it's important to note the role of Wall Street as well, as speculation is what cause a rapid increase in the cost of basic needs in the Middle East which in turn was a lot of the reason behind the uprisings in Egypt and Syria.

    God, you have no idea how most of us feel about obama. Especially the vets. I fought in Iraq, and now look at it. It makes me wonder why we went there in the first place.

  • That's.... slightly hyperbolic... a lot of democrats want to work more closely with Iran, specifically against ISIS (as Iran had originally helped the US in fighting the Al Qaida in Afghanistan), but they still want to ensure complaince with non-proliferation and to assure that IAEA inspectors are allowed to monitor.

    My answer is again somewhat ironic as two days ago the American ambassador was slashed in the face with a knife, but, no, I'm not afraid of being stabbed at all. There's very low violent crime in Korea (at least violence by itself, there's a disturbingly elevated rate of sexual assault). Not to mention cameras all over the place. That I don't like.

    Obama and Netanyahu's distrust and passive-aggressive bullshit statements they've been throwing at each other during the last summer has damaged the Israel-United States relations, I've been pretty pissed at him ever since he's condemned our bombings of weapon-filled schools, mosques and hospitals in Gaza, it seems to go over his head that those places were not "innocent" or anything like that, Obama refuses to ignore the fact that Hamas had used those places to store all the resources that has funded the digging of their tunnels into Israeli-populated territory.

    I'm really fucking sick of his bullshit, he sits around, expects us to be "humanitarian" with terrorists and blames us for attacking in Gaza after the Hamas breaks every stupid fucking truce we've tried to start.

    It has been proven by The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) that the benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks, as such:

    • A decreased risk of urinary tract infections.

    • A reduced risk of some sexually transmitted diseases in men.

    • Protection against penile cancer and a reduced risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners.

    • Prevention of balanitis (inflammation of the glans) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin).

    • Prevention of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location).

    If you're worried about the baby suffering from it, know that it's done with anesthetics and the baby doesn't feel a speck of pain.

    Also, fun fact: The reason it's said in Genesis 17:12 that a newborn baby should go through circumcision on the 8th day is because on the 8th day of the baby's life, the concentration of vitamin K (Vitamin K, coupled with prothrombin, causes blood coagulation) in the body reaches its maximum. That's the reason it's practiced on the 8th day.

    The girl can scream and kick as much as she wants, the hard truth is that the fetus is a human being, and the killing of a fetus, no matter for what reason, is still the killing of a living human baby.

    Now some might reply to this with "how could you be so insensitive?"

    To that I say that ignoring the fact that there are 2 lives in question and not just one is even more insensitive, it changes the situation at hand, and people's opinion on the matter that is mostly clouded by subjective feelings for the mother's suffering do not justify the abolishment of the fetus.

    Go through 9 months of Hell, give the baby up for adoption and be fucking done with it. There are many human beings who live without biological parents and are happy with it. This option is better than living with the guilt that you killed a human just because they were conceived in the wrong way and/or time for you and were getting in the way of your educational/financial life and goals.

    Are we that barbaric? Are we actually going to kill human beings because they're "getting in the way" of our career? Or love life? Because we can't live with the guilt of their existence? Give me a fucking break, life is unfair, but we are in no position to get in its way.

    Ive already read the study and my opinion stays the same, I never said circumsision doesnt have positives but the negitives. First off cutting off the erotic nerves is ridiculous. Babies being circumcised is wrong, also how do you know they dont feel pain? It just seems intresting to say "Circumision is okay because now we fill the baby with anesthetics!" Wheres the consent also? Its the babies body not yours, if an adult or teen wants to get circumcised then im fine with that. I know several people who wished they still had their foreskin..

    Also theres a report that was done on this study that concluded even though theres benefits to circumision is definitely not a priority. and wether the positives outwiegh the negitives is completely subjective.

    Also phimosis happens when you dont pull back the foreskin too wash it (Takes about 2 seconds) its completely preventable.

    I'm circumcised, and I can feel the "erotic nerves" just fine.

    also how do you know they dont feel pain?

    Because in modern countries, anesthetics are used, they were used on me.

    Wheres the consent also? Its the babies body not yours, if an adult or teen wants to get circumcised then im fine with that. I know several people who wished they still had their foreskin..

    That's probably the only logical argument against circumcision, but it's not like people never do surgeries/vaccinations to babies without their consent anyway. Besides, why would anyone disagree to go through a practice that would benefit them?

    Also theres a report that was done on this study that concluded even though theres benefits to circumision is definitely not a priority. and wether the positives outwiegh the negitives is completely subjective.

    It's not subjective, it's objective biological benefits, the circumcision does not benefit the person only if they "feel positive" about it, that would be silly.

    Maybe instead of making abortion illegal we could just teach kids safe sex so this doesnt happen, even if abortions are illegal they still do happen. Anyways the abortion rates are dropping which is good news.

    They haven't misread the messages of their religion, their religion is actually all about killing the infidels, subdue to Allah and all the other inadequate bullshit that comes with the original Islamic beliefs (Islam translates to "submission").

    In Sura 9:29, Muhammad establishes the principle that unbelievers should be fought until they either convert to Islam or accept a state of humiliation under Islamic subjugation. This is confirmed in the Hadith by both Sahih Muslim and Bukhari.

    While it is true that not all Muslims are blood-thirsty terrorists, you cannot call yourself a "true" Muslim if you reject the core beliefs of the Islam.

    All im saying circumcision cuts off about 240 feet or the erotic nerve endings, thats a lot.

    Because in modern countries, anesthetics are used, they were used on me.

    Im just wondering how some babies go into shock (some even pass out)

    but it's not like people never do surgeries/vaccinations to babies

    Sorry.. I think its a little different since all the things you originally stated about the benefits of circumcision could all be revered by I dont know.. condoms possibly. Or just generally being careful who you have sex with.

    Also they NEVER stated that circumcision was necessary in any means, youre looking at it in a biased few. Whether or not circumcision is good is up for debate looking at both sides of it I personally think circumcision doesn't have enough positives to outweigh the negatives. But you think its a good thing then good for you I guess.
