| I don't care whether or not circumcision has a few benefits for the child. If it isn't necessary for the child's survival, it shouldn't be done until he can consent to it (as if he would). |

| I was a Barbie nazi. I'd strip my Barbies naked and feed them to my stuffed animals. Sometimes I'd just organize them in particular orders, though, or set up scenes with them. |

Yeah, but it only sounds good in French. I live in the United States. People here would butcher it. I think it sounds awful with an American pronunciation. |

| I'd call that wisdom. Cognitive ability does tend to deteriorate over the years, especially if you don't look after yourself. Yes, but that's what I meant by "smart". Kruger4 stated that he wasn't talking about cognitive ability: not in IQ but in social awareness and in understanding the world and ... |

Countries with large Christian populations keep religion and government separate (for the most part) 3. Christians tend to i... |

With just a little more information, I could probably even pinpoint your exact address. You should be careful about what you post on th... |

| So not only are they trying to turn something that isn't criminal into a crime, but they're also trying to convict Assange of doing something that wasn't even a crime when he did it. That isn't justice, it's almost tyranny. |

| I don't think there's any such thing as an unbiased news source. It isn't safe to put all of your trust into one source. It's best to look at several different sources and then form a more well-rounded opinion. "Fair and Balanced" is just a marketing ploy, like all of the processed and chemically en... |

| If it were possible to cure something like autism, the people who want the cure should be able to get the cure while the people who don't want it shouldn't be forced to have it. While some people thrive on autism, others only experience misery as a result of it. |
