I assumed they were specifically talking about babies. If there's a genuine issue then it makes sense, but I don't know of anything that's diagnosable at birth that would require circumcision.

I know a lot of young adults also get the procedure for the same reason as you. I was in your boat until probably my mid-teens before things fixed themselves, but it clearly doesn't work out that way for some.

Well a lot of people who are willing to take things this far don't really care about the consequences of their actions anyway, so in a way I'm kind of surprised there are so many mass shootings involving innocent people, yet so few targeted attacks on scumbags like the CEO of United Healthcare.

For many who are pushed far enough to carry out something like this, achieving their objective is more important than their own life.

Unfortunately, the victims are so often people who don't deserve it.

I think most people just have no idea how terrible outdoor cats are for native wildlife. It should be illegal, just like how you can't let your dog wander around freely.

Thanks for the response (and follow-ups). I'm embarrassed to admit I was so distracted by the quote that I entirely missed your misspelling, even though I noticed the other one!

My comment doesn't add to this conversation, but I'm curious about why you quote the entirety of the comment that you were responding directly to.

I'm not going to tell you what you can and can't do, but it seems pointless and a waste of screen space to me, so I'd like to understand why some people do this if you don't mind sharing.

It's really not a big deal though, I'm just interested in the why.

My guess has always been that it's a habit from forum days. Does that ring true for you?

It's just clickbait from NBC, even if it is technically accurate. From the article:

Officials said that Ikner’s mother had purchased her former service weapons and that it was her personal property at the time of the shooting.

Early Zionists even openly acknowledged that the only way for them to escape persecution was to persecute and expel the inhabitants of Palestine.

And it doesn't change the fact that Israel and Zionists still the Holocaust as an excuse for their actions.

One of the federal [emphasis mine] charges against Mangione, murder through use of a firearm, makes him eligible for the death penalty if convicted.

Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state charges.

The destruction of Gaza would have resulted in new Hamas recruits several times the number of this little protest.

His approval ratings were low and falling well before the start of this onslaught. He is using this "war" as a way to stay in power for longer and to not face the various criminal charges against him.

Wanting a ceasefire does not mean they want a free Palestine.
