@NiaLaLa_V I was five years old and was circumcised due to a severe infection. It was extremely painful and such a relief to, even though it was also painful, to lose that piece of infected skin. However, the pain was not near as bad as the infection and I was almost back to normal within 3 days. I do NOT feel as if I've been mutilated at all. In fact, my member is no different than any other uncircumcised member when fully erect. NO difference. I'm not recommending circumcision as a routine procedure but to compare it with what they're doing in those gender clinics is disingenuous, irrelevant and is dismissive of how serious gender affirming care can be. It will affect those kids for the rest of their lives, quite possible severely shortening their lives. I'm now 72 years old and have suffered no complications from that procedure. If you're going to fight the fight, don't use me or my supposed "cosmetic improvement" as your weapon. My experience has no comparison to the horrific affects that gender affirming care has inflicted on many children. It's like comparing a hang nail to chopping off a finger.

@noklarok That's fair but as one, who has gone through the procedure, I can tell you that's it's not that big a deal and to say that I'm "mutilated" is a HUGE exaggeration. AND....to compare this to cutting the entire thing off, inverting it and then putting it into a gash so it's supposed to be a vagina, is ridiculous. It changes nothing over the life of a circumcised child and it's NOTHING compared to what a trans surgery, a major procedure, forces a child to go through for the rest of their lives. The dilation, the drugs, the infections, the loss of sexual function......it's not even close. I repeat, it's like comparing the act of removing a hang nail to chopping off the entire finger. A tempest in a teacup.

His example was an ad Hominem. They were in a discussion and all she could come up with was to attack him, thinking that this would invalidate every point he would ever make. A dismissal, not based on the truth of an argument, but on a preconceived notion of the person she was talking to.

@ajs41 I was a kid in the sixties and grew up watching The Beverly Hillbillies. I was trying to make him sound like.....you know...a hillbilly. A Jedi warrior is too much of a good image to poke a little fun with.

@Bleilock1 You also know that when those African countries were freed, they were taken over by communists. They failed miserably and were better off when they were capitalist. Also, capitalism must exist within the rule of law and respect human rights. That didn't happen when much of Africa was taken over by the European nations. It was as totalitarian as it gets.

@jedcollings3624 Why would anyone call someone "Jed". Sounds like you're about to strike oil, Texas tea and become a millionaire.

It's not the world. They're not doing this in China. This is a western phenomena and it's the result of the decadence of our affluent lifestyles.

@xocolatl3682 Yes....as a black man. He's telling us that he's black because he wants us to know that he's NOT some black automaton who parrots what the Party line says he must. That the idea of "whiteness" to him, a black man, is reprehensible and racist. He saying it to the new age liberals who believe that minorities don't have the capacity to think as individuals. So quit gas lighting him and the rest of us. There's nothing wrong with what he said. You just don't like that he had the audacity to speak up.....that he doesn't know his place.

@Bleilock1 The third Reich was not capitalist. Businesses were directed by the state. Large factories had Party reps in place to make sure management and workers were loyal to the Party. The Party would tell them what to produce, how much and where to buy their raw material. Hitler threatened to nationalise any business that refused to comply or who weren't producing as much as they should. Read Hitler's "Table talks" or Rudoph Jung's "National Socialism, its Foundation, Development and Goals". There is no doubt that National Socialism wasn't capitalist or right wing.

@Bleilock1 The Bolsheviks hated the Mensheviks in the Soviet Union, yet they were both communists. They're just different shades of Socialism. Capitalism definition: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit. Socialism definition: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. Thyssen companies were nationalised because he objected to the war. There was nothing he could do to stop it. He didn't toe the Party line and he was punished for it. He had to go along with the Nazi Party or else. That means that he did NOT control his own company. The Nazi Party did. You should tell the complete story.
