I am staying out of this ridiculous argument, but as a circumcised male, who has been circumcised his entire life, didn't feel a thing as it was done at my birth, and happens to know via education that whether it actually has any health benefit that it is done for purported health benefit I resent being told I am mutilated. Do we call men with piercings mutilated?

You don't like it, don't like it. Maybe you are unused to seeing circumcised penises. I am not. A preference or unfamiliarity with something does not give someone the right to slap a derogatory description on people. A preference to heterosexuality and unfamiliarity with homosexuality gets us called faggots, poofters, fudgepackers, fruit loops, and a host of other things. They show intolerance. Are they ok too because it's a "preference"? I didn't ask to be circumcised, nor am I asking not to be. I am asking to be respected whether I have been circumcised or not. I don't go around calling uncircumsised men "doggy dick".

I am not injured, imperfect, or irreparably damaged. My foreskin was not essential, and my circumcision did not cripple my dick. The disfigure part is entirely subjective.

@raphjd In the developed world? Which developed world are you talking about? In my country multiple people have tattoos.

@bi4smooth

It takes a real douche bag, in the best DNC vein, to screech about dividing the country, while acting like a total asshole toward those that disagree with them. Of course, an ass clown that votes for Honest Joe would have no problem with this since that's what your supreme leader does.

If I'm a Russina Troll, then you are Pelosi's snatch.

I wonder if you and Creepy Uncle Joe share other traits.

You are full of shit about every topic.

@raphjd I wonder if they will create a NEW Donald Trump when Trump wins his 2nd term in 2024.. or will they use the same old one.. which is actually the robot animatron they made of Hillary Clinton, but then just stretched a mask of Trump on top of it.

Section 230 isn't needed in the US.

Prior to Section 230, if they act as a publisher, they are liable for what is posted, but if they act as a platform they are not. We discussed the 2 lawsuits that made this clear.

Section 230 made special rights for "big tech" so they could act as both. It allows them to ban speech they don't like, as a publisher but protects them from lawsuits as a platform.

NO, I am not talking about the few limited cases of banned content by the government and SCotUS.

Your type of conservatism is "but muh corporations are people, so they have muh human rights".

Umm, liberals own virtually all of "big tech", or have you forgotten?

@likegoodmen

Emanuel Samson wasn't injured or killed after shooting up a white church (reverse of Dylann Roof).

When comparing crime stats with police shootings, blacks are the least likely to be shot. Whites are the most likely to be shot.

As much as I hate the police, they are 18 times more likely to be shot by a black guy, than the other way around.

We've had threads about this stuff.

@raphjd said in Ivermectin - the liberal hoax:

@bi4smooth

You forgot the AP story about 70% of calls to Poison Control is for Ivermectin issues. It was less than 2% and in many cases, it was asking for information, not about medical needs.

The examples of "aggregators" not doing even basic homework on the stuff they're regurgitating are many and varied... on all sides.

In a perfect world, we'd find a way BACK to making news reporting a non-profit enterprise... so that there was no need to hyper-inflate stories, and no value in click-bait!

This is getting pretty wide-spread coverage - and I mention that because this is a 1-off case... a substitute teacher in a school district (Las Vegas) that is practically begging for nearly ANYONE to become a teacher due to shortages and COVID medical leaves. The district doesn't claim it didn't happen, and the "teacher" is being disciplined - but that is a "private" matter, so we'll probably never get to hear about the fallout...

It doesn't make it right - but substitute teachers have done MUCH MUCH worse, and received a LOT less coverage in the media!

@bi4smooth

We are letting in people that worked with us in Afghanistan.

Obama-Biden Admin persecuted US soldiers who talked openly about "our allies in Afghanistan" engaging in raping boys aka bacha bazi.

It's a similar situation with the UK.

As for the article you linked to, it has some untrustworthy people as sources.

Don Le Mon may have black skin and kinky hair.. but he most certainly does not represent black people.. nor does he represent men. He uses them as a shield.

@bi4smooth

As for the article, this isn't anything new.

GWB gave us the Patriot Act and Obama expanded it beyond anything GWB ever dreamed of. Now the Dems are here to finish Obama's work.

The UK's "constitution" only exists in your (generic) head. Several PMs and people running for PM have promised a written one, but they all lied. Gordon Brown was the last to promise a written constitution, but after becoming PM, he immediately backtracked on that promise.

The Scottish government has been shitting on our legal and human rights via various laws and they are ramping up the draconian laws every time we turn around.

Australia and NZ don't ascribe rights in their constitutions, so they can shit all over their people as they please.

@shami94

What?! You don't understand that there is a very real story about a preschool teacher who made TikTok videos who talked about teaching toddlers about genitals and asked on Twitter what kind of permission slip she would need to teach the toddlers in her care about kink.

She has since been fired.

This was all in the last month.

While this article (OP) may have been altered, the other one is completely real.

3 teachers in 2 weeks have been fired for teaching kids things they have no business bringing into the classroom.
