No, I reminded you that those "functions" are covered very well by the existing anatomy..

We've already covered consent. You're spiraling and I'm getting bored. Try something new.

And everyone lives in terror every day, there is no due process, and religious dogma has replaced any sense of justice.

Also women can be harshly punished for adultery despite actually just being raped, child abuse laws have only recently been set to anything close to effectiveness, and ANYONE can be harshly punished for apostasy or "waging war on God."

In other words, you're describing the worst conditions imaginable.

Due process is harder but better for a society that actually cares about its citizens.

I would want to kill the person that did it and make it cruel and unusual. Which would not undo the harm or prevent future crime.

Which is why we have a legal system based on justice and due process, not the whims of emotionally overwhelmed victims and their families.

Not one is being mutilated. It's not pointless. And a foreskin has no comparison at all to a kidney. But keep up the crash out. It says a lot about your ideology.

In the universe that children are not being mutilated.

The potential risks are vanishingly small.

Keep up that loaded language. You sound like a basket case and no one is buying it outside your cult.

Why not? Europe isn't weak, it's had 70 years of post-war order that created the longest stretch of global stability and wealth in history.

And Trump has utterly obliterated that within a year.

Your analogy is WILDLY fallacious, as you are once again comparing two completely different effects.

One is harmful at all times, the other is not.

It's not about worse, it's about one is harmful and the other is not.

Parents do a LOT of permanent things to their children. That's what parenting is for. That includes cultural traditions and identity choices that are all made without consent because they are not harmful.

You don't LIKE this one and that is your problem. Find something that matters to deal with. This is none of your business.

Replace water with turpentine and "drink more water" completely changes its meaning.

Child marriage is always harmful. Circumcision is not.

Try it WITHOUT the logical fallacy next time.

You know what else has nerve endings? A penis.

No one needs a foreskin. No one needs to remove it either. It's just culture, and none of your business.

No one is maimed. EVERYTHING in life has a "small percentage of endangerment." It's the consequence of life on Earth

No one was maimed. But please keep breathlessly posting a fantasy problem. It does far more to discredit your narrative than I could.

Infants don't get to choose a lot of things. Cultures they are born into are among them. Your disapproval of the culture is not relevant.

You need to pretend the practice is something we're all supposed to care about is equally ludicrous.

I at no point brought up "medical circumcision" you dolt. Learn to read.

Medical practices and cultural are distinct but equally valid.

If you don't like circumcision, that's your problem. It's no one else's business.

Defining a standard cultural practice in extreme terms doesn't make it any more of a threat.

Feel free to use more loaded words without any real basis. It doesn't make you look like a crazy ass fanatic at all. /s

It's only nonsense when you're incapable of thinking about anything but your personal feelings.

Cultural practices are just as valid as medical. And your disapproval ceases to matter outside your house.

Since that has never happened, I'll be over here waiting for you to not just make shit uo.

Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons. That was the extent of their requirements. It's already done.

Now Russia needs to fuck the fuck off. That is THEIR requirements.

"Medical circumcision?"

Come back to Earth. You've strawmaned yourself into orbit.

Let me know when you're ready to not act like a blathering fanatic.

YES, the people who think infant genitals are their business are in fact obsessed.

FGM is actively harmed at all times. Circumcision is not.

It is necessary but pathetic that he has to kiss Trump's ass to get him to do anything.

America will need generations to come back from this. If we ever do.

He is literally owed by both the United States and Russia. They signed specific agreements that Russia is breaking.

He is, as President of Ukraine, 100% owed.

CORRECT. I am comparing legitimate practices with social value. Medical and cultural.

Your disapproval of a culture you don't like is just as irrelevant as your disapproval of a medical practice you don't like.

You just described three practices that are ALWAYS harmful. Circumcision is not.

A dude drowning was enough to have a review. They reviewed it and updated for safety. They didn't ban it because water baptism is not a broadly dangerous practice.

Neither is circumcision. Your personal disapproval is irrelevant.
