identifying things as they truly are should lead to a shift. i suppose the lack or absence of agreement on how something should be identified could be an obstacle.

genitalia mutilation is horrific.

have you read The Anatomy of Slavespeak by Fredrick Mann?

No. I'll see if I can dig it up and get an epub of it.

Truly a society we live in.

Okay, I checked this Anatomy of Slavespeak. Frankly, I am a bit nauseated. I am uncomfortable with such topics and much more so with no one to guide me through it.

I get the gist. Words have power and all that. All I got was that, you go against the government no matter what.

It was a hell of an essay or rather report, as the author called it. It had interesting ideas and the first few sentences? Paragraphs? Were interesting enough to warrant my further consideration but it's quite lengthy. I have not the time nor the patience to slog through it all.

I do repeat myself in stating that I do indeed understand the gist of what the "report" is saying, I personally just have not the mental fortitude nor the necessary experience and mindset to fully adopt such an idea.

In relation to the topic I've presented, then I'll have to agree that the word "circumcision" being widespread is not very ideal in the prevention of the horrible genitalia mutilation of both sexes from occuring.

Look at the root words. It literally means cutting around something.

And no it won't stop ever. It fades as people abandon their Bibles, but it won't ever stop.

Indeed. Well, time will tell. Maybe not in our lifetimes but time will tell.
