You might want to research “appendix.” Current thinking is that it is not vestigial or useless.
As for teeth, they are said to be useful.

You might want to research “appendix.” Current thinking is that it is not vestigial or useless.

And you might want to read the WHOLE thread before commenting. Its already been addressed.

As for teeth, they are said to be useful.

And you might, while reading the whole thread, read it more carefully. I specifically mentioned wisdom teeth, not just teeth.

As always, the most tenacious are the ones with the most precarious positions.
Wisdom teeth aren’t useful? Well roll my eyes!

As always, the most tenacious are the ones with the most precarious positions.

And what position would that be?

Wisdom teeth aren’t useful? Well roll my eyes!

Roll them until they fall out of your head, but they aren't useful if they aren't in the mouth.

Thanks
I do recall reading something about similar in the past few years, but could not place it.

Excuse me? i am a teenage muslim girl and i know what islam is. orignally, girls were supposed to get circumcised in the olden days to prevent disease, and that too, when they were born, so they wouldn’t feel the pain. it is NOT a rule of islam. if uncivilized people still wish to continue the practice and in the wrong manner, that’s their ignorance of technological and medical advances. i’m not defending the practice itself but i’m defending my religion, and ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE.

Bologna.

Islam is a “religion” of violence against women and violence against the western world.

WAKE UP.

Female Circumcision, whether done at birth or later, is barbaric and not done for hygiene. It is performed with the specific intent to deny women sexual pleasure. That is perverse.

You know, it might be easier to believe that Islam is a religion of peace if the “martyrs” stopped killing innocent people in the name of the “religion” and women were treated as something more than chattel, something more than animals, held down while their genetalia are mutilated with a rusty knife or a piece of glass. Spare me the crap.

Islam is not a religion of peace.
