"Again we have resorted to the idea that their cultural traditions should be impeded because we dont approve of them nonetheless we do the same thing." -Koala

"i completely understand your dismay at what is a dangerous practice that has been practiced all over the world (even in these united states)." -solmariposa
"I agree completely" -nahymsa
"Until we're ready to face OUR problems - we have no business shaking our fingers at theirs" -koala
"So we shouldn't have helped our brethren in South Africa, we shouldn't have fought against Nazi Germany?" -nahymsa
"i come from a culture where female circumcision is widely practiced, i would warn you against taking the stand that many western nations have taken which is wagging a condescending finger at these "barbarians" and telling them to "stop it" -solmariposa
"I agree completely" -nahymsa
From the start i said this doesnt have to be about culture/character assasination and even somebody who is of the culture in question agrees. They have been called barbarians, uncivilized, and now you've likened them to nazis. When I say its not necessary and demeaning you even justify these prejudiced notions and offer a few more, when a female says it you agree completely!?
Thats YUCK
