i had to google xenu and ran into this article ... how does a woman(his sister) being raped for his offense - adultry - (of going on a date) make any sense? /

the same sense that covering your hair to ward off unwelcome suitors makes. and circumsizing babies. and wearing a torture tool around your neck to show your faith. I've read about that 'law' - barbaric. whatever happened to the Golden Rule?

ummmm, not so fast but since the old test. said he would die on a tree, an electric chair isn't the same.

wow. r u really that stupid

twisted Ok, that one has me laughing. Yes, it's sick and twisted, and crude, but damn funny. And yes, the Concordance, lexicon weilding theologian would find a way to say, a tree grew for that purpose to be made by the government ordered servent into a chair instead of a cross, so yes, little wooden electric chairs would be dangling from millions of necks. Such imagery this early has me chuckling. Thanks

Old Smokey Wasn't the famous old electric chair made out of wood with metal connecters and leather straps?

and your point is?

circumcision! interesting, i don't think this topic has ever come up on here.

apparently the circumsized contingent is horribly offended.

of course you bring up female circumcision, and everyone is appalled, but baby males? eh.. screw them! you'd get more people riled up with ear/tail docking for puppies.

I didn't even say male or female! just babies! maybe I'll get more positive points with this strategy:

the whole idea is weird. baby girls can get their ears pierced, and boys can get their penis flaps sheared off. fun! maybe parents are lazy and don't want to teach their sons how to properly clean under the foreskin. undy's right, this convo has got to be a first for this fo.

OwOWowOWowow Owwowwow!

and to add insult to injury... sometimes the doctors and parents of those boy infants opt for sex reassignment surgery because, apparently, it is better to cut it all off and take female hormones for most of your life than to live as a man with a damaged penis. Fortunately, neither baby I saw was in danger of having that done to him, but that's what popped up when I searched medical journals for info on botched circumcision.

getthefuckout seriously. This world is so messed up. At least it's after x:x. I need a drink.

$x,x.x Was the amount awarded to a young man whose penis was mangled in a botched circumcision. At the time, his parents thought $x,x was a reasonable settlement. When he came of age, and realized what he was missing, he petitioned the court to have the earlier settlement set aside so he could file a new lawsuit. He won, and was awarded the above sum. The doc's insurance company was also ordered to pay all costs of reconstructive surgery. This happened while I was working at Rolling Stone, (developing an entirely unrequited crush on Annie Leibovitz) and we ran the story under the headline $x,x.x Plus Tip

I was tired of working all night. I was doing typography. Interesting, and the office was far from dead in the dead of night, but I just got tired of it. Love the pic of Haring! Have you seen Annie's new book, "A Photographer's Life?"

not yet I'll have to check it out. I'm SO jealous. You actually met/worked with her? Cool.

Wish there had been cause for jealousy! But alas, aside from a few very brief chats about photography, we really didn't have any meaningful interaction. "Oh, you're SO right about Cartier-Bresson," she breathed, undoing the buttons of her blouse, a flush spreading over her cleavage...

Ha! :))

i went to the brooklyn museum this weekend and checked that out... i liked all the pictures of her family i had to leave because it started to make me cry...

relevent somehow Considering our topics of penises and AIDS, this is relevent somehow!

there is a woman/man that has been giving speeches and q&a session on this... forgot the name.. (as usual - i'm not so great with names) at birth the parents chopped off a mini penis... made her a girl but when it came time for her to grow breasts they had to go to the doctor because she wasn't developing into a female and was more masculine... then the doctor gave her hormones to make her body become female... later in life she found these things out and instead of wanting to kill herself she started to understanded all of the feeling she was having... it made more sense of why she was so confused about everything... dammit.. i wish i could remember her/his name... also please forgive me i can't remember if her/he identified as male or female somthing else... really powerful story....

here's a link to a good site for intersex

oh.. my bad.. sorry... i read to quickly.. and started thinking about this persons story.. got me excited..of my bosses just passed out beers to everyone still in the office.. think i'm already loopy....

gender ID All of this gets me to thinking just how we are so socially conditoned to gender identification.

john/joan-a case ot twins don't know if this is what you are referrin to but it involved a case of male twins...both got circumcised butgot botched and was raised female, or they tried to till he understood his true nature....DrMoney vs DrDiamond....do a google search with those names...I so wish they would leave the private parts for the baby male to decide for himself later in life......and as for female circumcision.....some cultures go too far that it is mutilation...

resorting to kittens & yarn? Now I may have to neg you!

don't even compare female circumcision with male circumcision. I know you probably thought you were being funny and all, but honestly, you are just a cad.
