That must be why the Welsh will refuse to speak English to the English in Wales just to be perverse, why the Scots just held a referendum on breaking up the UK, why the Welsh set fire to English holiday homes and why the Irish have been killing the "English" and each over for the past hundred years.Quote:

The absence of some kind of aggressive flag-waving cultural orthodoxy that can be agreed on as "British" is one of this nation's best features. American patriotism both amuses and revolts me.Quote:

Why don't you take your opening post and give us some more detail? What did you mean by it? Perhaps there is some true wisdom we can use, obfuscated by a want of time or articulation.
I'll do it for him, you know in what communities this takes place, who are you kidding besides yourself.Quote:

It happens there as well, but you know perfectly well that in the UK it are mostly what you euphoricaly call Asians. The UK is not the whole world, just a tiny island that has severe problems with people with a certain religion.Quote:

That's the problem ain't it, it doesn't affect you so you don't give a crap. It's a trick we played at hide and seek, cover your eyes and you are invisible. Never worked.Quote:

See above for the difference. The ones mentioned by you don't stem from any religious tenets (except the pagan ones, perhaps, - but I doubt if those who pierce themselves realize that) and they are done at one's free choice.Quote:

Female genital mutilation has no such benefits and has a significant risk of mortality and morbidity.

Has any research ever tried to find benefits of FGM and any risks it might reduce? I don't think so.Quote:

Like I said - add some black PR to circumcision - or run a campaign against it in major media - and you will not know the idea in a couple of years.
You're being really thick lately, huh?
Even if the procedures were performed under professional medical conditions and standards, there would always be an increased risk of chronic pain and vaginal infection or UTI, more so the more tissue is removed.
That's funny, because looking out my window it looks severely run down, and I see clumps of people from different groups all huddled together, unwilling to mix. The Chinese sometimes look like shoals of fish.Quote:

In other news, I see the Catalan politicians have "SNP disease", they belief that gaining a majority in the legislature means people wants independence.

So... nothing to do whatsoever with PR and to do with hard, scientific fact. I've no idea why you continue to think the two are in any way similar.

But unlike Scotland, they'd be in a better financial position than Spain generally - Scotland requires oil to be at $100+ for some time to come unless they find sudden sources of revenue post-independence.Quote:

Moreover, I didn't claim FGM was good. My claim was that it is bad, as well as circumcision. You haven't provided any sources concerning the latter.What if I do, like this:

I gave another scientific fact. Get some spindoctors to work on it and we'll see in a couple of years.Quote:

Perhaps anyone would second amputating the appendix soon after a baby is born - it will prevent him from getting appendicitis later and who needs that blindgut anyway? People do perfectly well without it. Or glands - no dratted quinsy in future? About ten years ago my Mum had her gall bladder removed. And she is doing fine, considering. Let's cut it out at the age of three, say. Prevents some nasty cholecystitis in years to come. Angelina Jolie was right after all - chop off those boobs - they are a vague menace even now, who knows one day they may cause some trouble.
As toGee, maybe try actually reading the posts that refute your premises?Quote:

It was a pun reference to the books and your rural upbringing, due to your previous post. The different people being the sheep, pigs, dogs, etc as depicted representing the different groups of 'people'.Quote:

I keep thinking I should get back to reading, i havent yet gotten to hg wells and I still haven't finished 1984, though I haven't exactly missed out on the ludicrous amount of spoilers ive been exposed to over the years.
