I'm sorry if you took offense to someone calling circumcision NONSENSE, but frankly, IT IS!
C'mon! The foreskin of a newborn boy is an offering to your so-called "god" ??? How freakin KOOKY is that!? It's barbaric, bizarre, and some kinky form of pedophilia.
Have fun in Hoboken, boy.
BooBooKitty,
I am not defending D2B, it is not my place. I am writing to ask you a question in the spirit of your post here for Randy to read.
Don't you think an expression like "your so called G-d" is inflammatory and over the line. It would appear to be way over the line in regard to FT policy.
Could you please consider editing or removing this remark. It would lend great credibilty to your post here.
thank you,

Oh, so the pedophilia accusation sits well with you?
Sorry, Thumper. I usually ask you to exercise some self-restraint when it comes to the Middle East, but this is an entirely different kettle of fish.
I had asked IT to read the T&C, I was evidently w/o much success, for calling a rite that has been practiced for millenia should not be labelled with such hateful rhetoric.
I disagree with you on this one, as many do with me, and that is fine. But I will no longer sit idly by while such calumnies and inflammatory statements are made here.
If you don't like the names I think are appropriate for you, then don't give me cause by insulting my religion or my co-religionists.
It is that simple.
By the way, where were many of your voices with disdain when these statements were first made?
Many of you had failed to raise a note of concern until only
after my christening of those malcontents and offenders?
Extremely interesting.
And Matthew, it seems that you are already a tad defensive about a UK thread that I have not started nor have any intention of doing so. But, it is apparent to me of your defensive posture, so just consider that the shoe might be on the other foot.
Should we start with the British in India, then? After all, the East India Company's land grab started well before the Empire's interest in Africa.
What did Victoria say about India? Oh yes, it was the "Jewel in her Crown."
Maybe we should all start to remeber that Charity begins at home, and be well to remember Ionnesco's play "Rhinoceros."
