Doesn't Cleese live in London? Santa Barbara is a pertty liberal town for an old Tory like Cleese.

There is no official promotion of circumcision in the USA. In fact, most medical societies discourage the practice. Medical opinion may change however if circumcision is found to be an effective means to reduce the transmision of HIV.

Are you saying that since I'm circumcised that I may not have to worry about getting HIV?

Malaysia is to consider using mass circumcision ceremonies to promote racial harmony.

Wang Center officials could not be reached for comment

I found this humorous...

They shoulda asked me that question about the rabbits....I used to snare rabbits as one of my chores. They infested the area and made good stew for a rural family on a budget. WTF would she be messing around stabbing a rabbit with a knife? I had a little iron Wonderbar TM (a mini crowbar) perfect for my size and requiring little effort.

(snort) I bet these PETA people have never seen farm animals castrated either....damn kids today need toughening up.

I lived in Santa Barbara for five years and let me tell you it is a conservative strong hold. The city is very rich and other then the college students and the latin migrants EVERYONE is a republican.

It has to do with housing costing so much so most of the population is very wealthy and very receptive to Republican tax cut proposals.

Not that funny a theory. It's the establishment theory as to why sexual repoduction is superior to asexual. Asexual reproduction produces, basically, clones. They're genetically identical unless something goes wrong, which means that they are much more vulnerable to infection. Sexual creatures, however, slightly randomize their genes, which means that it's unlikely that any one disease or parasite can get a species number and wipe it out.

well, that and it feel so damn good.

I found this humorous...

someone else notices.

I presume he means if there is more than a statistical anomaly in the rate of infection between circumcised and non-circumcised. If circumcision cuts the transmission rate in unprotected sex by as little as 1% that would reduce the number of newly infected by thousands, in about 15-20 years time. Obviously no substitute for condoms, but thats not what the Doc is on about AFAIK.

The World is indeed crazy.

This story is in the national news here in Denmark today. A 30 year old man was charged with having conned a 29 year old male student into attempting to rape a female acquaintance of his. According to police, the 30 year old posed himself on the Net as a 24 year old woman who lives in the same building he does. He made contact with the 29 year old and it was agreed that the student should visit the woman and stage a rape as a form of sexual role playing to arouse them both. The 29 year old was to look under the door mat outside the woman's flat, where he was to find a condom as a signal to carry on with the rape. However as he proceeded, the woman yelled and resisted so bitterly that the 29 year old finally figured out that something was wrong.

Rape by proxy, now there's a novelty.

In other news today, some of the organizers of a recently held massive sex orgy in China have been sentenced to life in prison.

Are they all being held at the same prison?

We should tell PETA about the furries, and how they encourage children to wear the skins of animals. Then PETA can wage war on furries and furries can psychologically scar PETA to the point where they can no longer have sex. They'll destroy each other! It could work!

Are you sure John Cleese is conservative? He was a member of the Monty Pythons after all.

[debeest]

John Cleese has lived in Santa Barbara for quite awhile. He's very involved in the community and generally pretty liberal, especially as compared to the largely conservative Santa Barbara.

quote:
Animal rights advocates will single out small children at performances of ``The Nutcracker'' in the next few weeks by handing out fliers saying ``Your Mommy Kills Animals'' to youngsters whose mothers are wearing fur.

Although I don't think people should wear fur coats, this is absolute madness.
(yeah yeah, I know, leather shoes and all that )

The first article is wacko too IMHO.

It may reduce the risk of infection by as much as 50%. That means that if you are circumcised your risk of being infected with the virus during a single sexual contact involving you penis and some orifice of an infected person's body would be half as much as if you had not been circumcised. In the US that might change the risk of infection during anal intercourse for the "pitcher" from 1:100 to 1:200. That doesn't mean you wouldn't have to worry about contracting AIDS, it simply means you have a little bit less of a chance of getting it. There are studies underway in Africa to better determine the value of circumcision in reduing the spread of AIDS, though. It's possible that the degree of risk reduction may be less, or even more, than previously thought.

You so much as pull one of those flyers out in front of me and I will kick your ass from here to the moon. The circumcision thing is just bizzare.
