Now you’re really gonna hate me if you weren’t already with people across this forum laughing / in awe of you still being so thick and sorry but even dumb to compare US male circumcision (which yes, you are right is unique to us and a big business, BUT THE BABY BOYS ARE NOT DYING) to FMG in Africa which honey is far more than a few thousand girls. This is why some people in the US on both the left (or the right) are made fun and laughed at across Europe and even some Third Worlds.
Let’s “break in down Barney style” as my buddies say in the Marines.
US circumcision baby boys = no dead
African FMG baby girls = some dead
You may actually be getting the best of me just trolling because either a) you were never in the Peace Corps to be able to say such a stupid goddamn thing and understand this basic factual difference
or b) you were in the Peace Corps but due to the God-given IQ, you need to get any and all money that program cost you in loss of other opportunities because you certainly learned nothing about human rights
Or c) a clever troll who spits on FMG but also getting the best of someone much smarter than you, which I would actually applaud you for
You’ll hate me because, unfortunately for you, in addition to my own small medical team overseas, i also manage to contribute to “my country’s” problems running a very successful US sports 501c3 running off only volunteer hours in the East coast program sharing free mentor-based curriculum in schools and after schools done during gym class by the schools own gym teachers, handed out completely for free, with class discussions based on anti drug, anti-violence, And most importantly teaching high school kids how to seek out a debate or intricate conversation (just like the ones on Skeptiko) and root their argument based in facts. Not feelings
I’m sorry my program never made in time for you, both there’s good news. My team is teaching kids black and white, rich and poor, local and immigrant, to treat each other with respect, talk about their problems and most importantly, when they find a cause they care about, to approach it from all sides based on facts and evidence and then work like a dog to change it, and learning how to either re-direct or go right through the people in their way who ignore hard facts. And that most people on an issue like you are on the sidelines whether you agre or not for something like this, because at the end of the day you have no actual power or influence, just a keyboard!
And FYI, those indigenous folks I work with in Africa and Latin America ARE my people. They’ed take a bullet for me as I would for them. What makes me a better member of the human race is not my academic success or businesses I run, it’s just grit and heart and the fact that I can honestly say I gave a damn. It’s not too late for you to evolve and jump on board.

But this is nonsense. Who is 'everyone'? So, according to you and the U.N. as long as the sexual mutilation against an innocent victim is safe, and profitable, then you focus your great attention on African girls? I don't know who you think you are fooling, but you are not fooling me. I am not a liberal with 'feels' on this situation. This is about control, not human rights, otherwise you would fight for the human rights of the millions of Western male children (not the few thousand of tribal girls) who are getting a needless surgery for 'fun and profit.'
The politically correct bullshit atmosphere is coming from you, right now, right here. You are looking to engender 'victims' of the '3rd' world and pretending you are saving the world when actually you are part of the problem. Get your focus back on your own people, whoever they may be, and stop playing god to the entire globe. Fix the problems in your own house, if you are such a great person, and stop virtue signaling, and playing the righteous savior. You don't know what those folks need, and if they're great leaders are laughing at me, the keyboard warrior, then they are as clueless as you are.[/QUOTE]
