I thought at least 6 republicans said they would vote for her how can she drop out with number like those

She's got more graft to grift on her home planet.

ohnonononono this timeline is all wrong, my friends on TV told me she was gonna be the first woman president of the United States, and of color!

@McFansy My argument is countries can still be effective but they lose whatever the edge was that made them world movers and shakers.

@Archer Warhound Both. And I’m not really looking for someone to list everything out, I’m just interested in some articles, organizations, videos, etc. that I can look into myself for research.

@wolfman1911 @Fenek Many doctors in US (and I think the former British Commonwealth?) still promote "medical" circumcision saying that removal of the foreskin helps prevent infections because bacteria and fungus are more easily able to take hold under an intact/complete foreskin hood because of the warm moist environment, and trimming the foreskin hood allows airflow and light exposure that prevents infection. However this makes just as much sense as saying we should remove out eyelids because they trap moisture and that could promote infection; just as our eyes clean themselves with tears the act of peeing without pulling the foreskin back creates a Jacuzzi-like effect rinsing the head and inside of the foreskin with urine killing and washing out most anything that might have gotten inside the hood. Further, just as removal of the eyelids would lead to dying out and thickening of the surface eyeball thus damaging vision, so too removal of the foreskin hood causes the penis to become increasingly calloused and desensitized over time due to exposure and friction from clothing etc. thus diminishing the sensations of sex beyond the initial loss of sensation caused by removal of the nerve endings in the foreskin.

just fuckin teach ur kid to wash his peen, ain't hard

if he refuses, show him a picture of some infected penis

it'll make him do it 100%

@wolfman1911 @Fenek As to religious reasoning, if you're an Orthodox Jew there's no religious reason to stop the practice, they have to keep doing it because they don't think God has said otherwise, though many/most Rabbis take much less of the foreskin than is taken during a "medical" circumcision by a western doctor, but if you're a Christian there's a solid scriptural case for Baptism replacing circumcision and thus it being no longer needed. Been a long time since I researched all this and made up my mind about it before we had our first kid so let me go find you some links.

@Old Man Hound The French will to fight another war was completely absent in the 1930's

The politicians were grossly incompetent that's well oh, they had the resources but laxity coordination and certainly didn't take an invasion that serious.

A lot of it was a German Brilliance however, going through the Ardennes was a Gamble and in theory there's no way it should have worked.

Hitler was the proponent of taking that Ralph's while his generals told him he was crazy, unfortunately that built up a lot of hubris amongst Hitler and he completely boogered late 1942 and mid 1943

I think nihilism is a natural human state once living conditions improve to a certain level @Old Man Hound

Weird state of humans isn't it?

When we have everything we want we melt down and collapse so the next tribe of angry barbarians in the hills can take us down.

Yeah, it's interesting how self-destructive humans are by nature

The better conditions get, the more people start thinking of ways to tear down the system

@Old Man Hound That's because what we think we want and need is very often quite different from what we really want and need.

The better conditions for some, not all

What do you mean? @McFansy

conditions today aren't necessarily improving and we are falling apart

Well, I accept you can argue that conditions aren't improving, perhaps
But conditions overall are better than they ever have been in all of human history combined

The world we live in is so vastly different than what any of our ancestors could have ever imagined
And pretty much anything you could need is easily accessible

Then why are the young committing suicide in greater numbers?

It's almost like having more stuff doesn't make you happy

Yeah, I mean, that was exactly my point lol

I think we are in agreement there

humans need community and some sort of religion

both are being taken away from us

I'm reading some of the articles on male suicide right now btw. They're pretty infuriating.

Suicide rates in girls are rising, study finds, especially in those age 10 to 14

the fuck is wrong with society when this starts happening

Although boys were 3.8 times more likely than girls to kill themselves over the 40-year study period, the gap is rapidly narrowing. Starting in 2007, the rates of suicide for girls 10 to 14 increased 12.7% per year, compared with 7.1% for boys the same age. A similar trend was seen for teens 15 to 19, with rates of suicide going up 7.9% for girls and 3.5% for boys.

Woudn't that be the same increase rate?

Actually more for boys?

Twice as much?

12% of 100 vs 7.1% of 380

more boys are committing suicide but the gap is shrinking between the genders
