Foreskin Man!

Are most boys in America automatically circumcised at birth? Do infant boys have no human rights? Makes me glad that I was born in Scotland. You do know that in China, up until the beginning of the 20th Century, all females at an early age had their feet bound, (in honour of, by one account, a Chinese Princess who had clubbed feet, imitation being the sincerest form of flattery).

There are several legends that endeavor to account for the inception of this custom, one is that the concubine of a Chinese prince named Yao Niang walked so gracefully that it seemed as if she “skimmed over the top of golden lilies. ” At that time the “lily footed woman” or a woman with bound feet became the model in China. A second legend says that this concubine, Yao Niang, was ordered to bind her feet so that her feet would look like new moons. A third legend says that women bound their feet out of sympathy for an Empress with club feet. Another account is that foot binding was made stylish by court dancers, However this seems somewhat unlikely because women with bound feet had a hard time walking let alone dancing. The origin of foot binding may not bc dear, however the results or after affects are apparent. Foot binding stopped concubines and wives of the rich from straying or running away from beatings. Confucian teachings at this time stressed the superior status of men over women as a basic element of social order and this was certainly an effective method of restraint.

So in a nutshell, Circumcision will be, (hopefully), looked upon by, say 22nd Century historians with as much disgust and horror as Foot Binding does with contemporary historians. As a barbaric right of passage for a less enlightened times.

BTW. To many Biblical Jews, Circumcision was like Baptism, a way of purification of your sins before God. Some early Church leaders were undecided on this point however. If Jesus was circumcised, even as a baby, then he must have had the original sin of Adam. But because he was free of any sin, then he must NOT have been circumcised. They then contradict themselves 1000 years later, by trying to sell Christ’s foreskin, (along the thorns from the “holy” crown, pieces of the “true” cross, vials of his blood and even his mothers milk), along with indulgence., No wonder there was a Reformation? But it only replaced one set of lying scheming scumbags with another.

Thanks PenboyX

I didn’t know about Jefferson Airplane, or the song Whiterabbit. But I do now thanks to your good self and Google. Nice song. I call myself Whiterabbit for a number of reasons. When I was a wee boy, I used to love reading Lewis Carols Alices’ Adventures in Wonderland. I loved the fabulous character White Rabbit for a number of reasons.

1. I had a whiterabbit stuffed toy up to the age of 10. At about the same time I got my first timex wristwatch.

2. I was called that nickname by my Primary 6 teacher, because I was always running into class 10 minutes late, puffing and panting looking at my watch and making up excuses why I was always late, (just like the character).

3. Having a wee white rabbit toy hanging out my school sachel didn’t help either. lol.

Thinking back, I was definitely the archetypal passive – submissive femmy poof that I am today. XD

Was this done privately tomnahurich or on the NHS? If it’s the NHS no wonder so many people are opting for BUPA. In the Scottish NHS the surgeons would not be paid for the botched operation, would not be paid for the second operation, (because they botched up the first operation), you would be paid compensation by the Hospital, who would get re-embursed out of the surgeons own pocket the full amount owed back to them. He would then be fined by the Local Sherriff (Judge in England/Wales/Ireland) and a mark put against his Licence. So many marks and he has to re-train at his own cost. I assume the NHS in England/Wales/Ireland don’t do this? as this law was passed by the Scottish Government/Parliament 2 years ago.
