Religious practice does not make circumcision or any act, any less barbaric or justify the act.  That's as bad as saying murder is wrong unless done for religious reasons - 911, the London bombing, most of the current wars are all because of religion, that doesn't make them right, justified or forgivable.  Religion is not an excuse!

@rawr:

Wow. The media is seriously evil (on all sides.)

In 2015: 38,422 people died from terrorist attacks and 43,495 people were injured, in 14,806 separate incidents (over 40 incidents per day.)

7 people die in the UK and everybody freaks out.

All of sudden it's a problem?

I hope you guys can keep your shit together when you hear that there were approximately 15,750 homicides in the last year in the US alone.

Please get you information correct, this was London, NOT the UK, That means it warrants 24hr none stop coverage not only on local news but country and world news.
When will you Americans and the rest of the world realise that one Londoner is worth 10,000 of you guys, if not more.  In the North of England and in Scotland we have known this for years and still get reminded on a regular basis that we are worthless compared to Londoners.  More people died in Manchester but being "Up North" it didn't get as much coverage, had it not been children involved I doubt it would have even got mentioned.

@aadam101:

The Christian radicals do this too and have been for a very long time.  Should we also eradicate them?

YES!, But who are these Christian Radicals?

Anyway, To all those who lost their lives, R.I.P., To all those injured our thoughts and prays are with you for a speedy recovery and to anyone anywhere in the world affect by this or any other acts of Terror, Keep Strong and Don't let the buggers get you down.

@spam17:

I continue gay habits, such as masturbating and thinking about muscular/more masculine men. At the same time, I like women, like being around them more than guys, and want to have an romantic/sexual relationship with a girl.

I like women and I definitely prefer being round them more than guys, but I have no sexual interest in them what so ever.  I find certain women extremely attractive and have even said out loud "WOW isn't she stunning".  I've had girlfriends in the past, thou nothing ever happened, but that's what was expected and before I accepted I was 100% gay.

Don't as someone else said put yourself into a box, you will find who you are eventually.  Instead enjoy discovering who you are and what you like, make mistakes, screw things up, that's what it's all about.

You're not the only one in this boat, that's why we've gone from Str8, Bi and gay to dozens of different labels that allow people to identify as one thing while distancing themselves from another.

Spend less time worrying about who/what you are and more time enjoying the ride of discovery till the penny drops.

One of my mates has been positive for many years now and he was before he met his negative partner.  15+ years later they are still together and the negative guy is still negative and very much in love with him.  They met one night on the scene, and it went from there, my mate was straight up from day 1 about his status which I think made a big impact on the trust between them.  So never give up hope on finding someone pos or neg, just be honest from the start.

A "Ceremony/Joining" Religious or Not is required to become married this is the legal part as you call it.  There isn't always a need to obtain a marriage license, these are only required under certain circumstances.

The term / institution of marriage was adopted by the church and not invented/created by it, therefore they cannot enforce any of their doctrines other than within the church.  While Catholics may have their own ideas of marriage they have no legal standing.

As for the child issue neither a husband or wife has any legal obligation to take on the responsibility of their new partners children unless they legally adopt or take on legal guardianship of said child.  An example of this is when the biological parent dies their spouse does not automatically gain/take over legal responsibility for the child, who can be taken into care, handed to a member of the deceased's family such as a grandparent or even handed to the other biological parent.

everything. does that count as 1 thing then?

@DCLXVI:

The word 'racist' means what again?

Actually.. I think that's a good question.. can we at least get a consensus of how to define and characterize 'racist/racism' before throwing the term around?

noun
1. a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

adjective
1. showing or feeling discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or believing that a particular race is superior to another.

So based on this you cannot be racist against your own race for any reason as they are your own race.
