    Female circumcision* has health benefits. All girls should get it done.

    This response does not address my arguments. Instead you attempt to bait and flame. Are you unwilling or unable to discuss the topic of male and female circumcision? Is your behavior a model that you believe other members should mimic on this forum? Will you cease making personal accusations...

    ACLU Sues Library for Blocking Wiccan Websites

    There is no discrimination. Wicca is a cult. Paganism is a cult. So you cant claim its a religion or get tax-exempt status for your cult. But if you get enough followers (Mormons) or hire some expensive lawyers (scientologists) then maybe, just maybe, the US government will classify your cult...

    Female circumcision* has health benefits. All girls should get it done.

    This is a fair question. As far as I have looked into the matter, i have seen no scientific studies one way or the other that examine female prepuce removal. Some doctors have claimed that the procedure has medical benefits such as reducing infections or sexual discomfort. The WHO says there is...

    Female circumcision* has health benefits. All girls should get it done.

    The World Health Organization does not classify removal of the prepuce as its own category. Instead it lumps it into category I as being the same procedure as removing the clitoris. This is equivalent to categorizing male circumcision with castration. Female Genital Mutilation Act of 1995...

    alright, we'll call it a draw.

    Female circumcision* has health benefits. All girls should get it done.

    I asked you: why is there a double standard for male and female circumcision? Notice that you don't address the topic, my question, or anything reasonably related but instead: 1 you go off-topic. You don't discuss the double standard for circumcision. 2 you ask me a question that contains a...

    Should Creationism be given EQUAL TIME?

    There is a difference between an ad-hominem and a personal attack. Pointing out that you are ignorant about evolution may be a personal attack but it is not an ad-hominem. In a debate, if your opponent demonstrates ignorance on a subject of debate, it is legitimate to point out and demonstrate...

    Should Creationism be given EQUAL TIME?

    To demonstrate that you aren't profoundly ignorant when it comes to evolution, please list at least 2 lines of evidence other than fossils that support the theory of evolution as accurate and true.

    Should Creationism be given EQUAL TIME?

    you have to be thoroughly ignorant of modern biology to think that fossils are the primary source of information about evolution.

    Nihilism in a Nutshell

    Can someone explain what "inherent purpose" and "inherent meaning" means and how to distinguish them from "purpose that is not inherent and "meaning " that is not inherent?

    Female circumcision* has health benefits. All girls should get it done.

    Is it not obvious? In the majority of cases circumcision is performed because of religious beliefs or culture (which came about explicitly from religious belief), not because it is medically necessary. Many modern countries are recognizing that and no longer perform the operation unless...

    Female circumcision* has health benefits. All girls should get it done.

    What is shameful is directly attacking a person rather than addressing their arguments on a debate forum. Apparently you lack the capability to honestly and honorably discuss the similarities (or lack thereof) between the practice of male and female circumcision.

    Female circumcision* has health benefits. All girls should get it done.

    Clitoral removal is tragic. The type of female circumcision mentioned here is not discussing clitoral removal. Did you not read carefully? What point do you think is being made, exactly?

    Where are you going for your next gaming computer or laptop?

    TO answer your question: any of the major retailers are fine: for example, Dell, newegg, HP. Price shop and compare the specs using TomsHardware.com. The problem though is they rarely tell you any details about the components they give you such as the memory, power supply, motherboard, case...

    Islam Question and Answer - Medical benefits of female circumcision Female circumcision* has most of the same health benefits as male circumcision. Parents should be sure to get their children, both girls and boys circumcised as soon as possible. And if you are Jewish, Christian, or Muslim...
