That is one misleading title.

[Theodore R.]

Does anyone know how circumcisions are financed and handled in Africa? I would think it might be hard to sell the idea to some of the tribes even if it reduces AIDS.

[Odyssey-x]

How long before the muslims insist that AIDS is a plot by the Jews. Heck, they blamed last year's Tsunami on em'.

[Sabramerican]

What did the Jews know and when did they know it?

I'm waiting for the study that proves eating pork makes you stupid.

You last about horse goggles was entertaining.

Were you trying to say that the retrovirus cannot be transmitted more readily through glans tissues? Or was your focus on the fact of a "mere study" doing absolutely nothing to contribute towards any prevention or cure?

Because you understood what you were attempting to communicate does automatically confer that understanding upon me, or others.

[Alia]

The Public Breastfeeding threads can get rather personal and emotive, too.

[ladyjane]

Again...my point is completely missed (or overlooked) :)

Maybe it was snipped off at an early age! Have you checked?

[doctor noe]

When should a moyel retire? When he can't cut it anymore.

[A. Pole]

How stupid they can get. Circumcision in Africa and lower AIDS rates share the common reason - Islam. Circumcision is not the cause, it is a result.

Alas, I see the light in your conclusions...granted, it is a timid and flickering but still, a light. You engaged me from the beginning based on your misunderstandings and rhetoric and cheap gender shots (where you assumed I was a man) but that doesn't change a thing. Blaming me for your lacking to get my point is redundant but then why should I expect more out of you? :)

[Quinotto]

Tsk, tsk, "Lady" Jane, did you think of this...reply all by yourself? Let me guess, you were also chewing gum (and blowing bubbles) at the same time!

[dpa5923]

Your right. It took 16 years after my circumcision before I was able to have sex!

[Alia]

Oh. I now get your big point in posting at all in this thread. Enjoy your massive triumph in posting. You can go play with your own "class" of people now.

WOW! Is this a clinical condition I wonder? Let's see, you attack me full blast, you completely miss my point, you assume the wrong things about me and somehow...it's my fault? Did you OD on Liberal Juice this morning by any chance?

Simple treatment: ECG, vascular access, naloxone and narcan drip.

World-wide, the major route of HIV transmission for many years has been heterosexual sex.

Um...no.

[Alia]

Simple treatment: ECG, vascular access, naloxone and narcan drip.

And you couldn't just write this in your first post? Maybe even your second?

[longtermmemmory]

It seems this is jus the same old recycled stuff without any real new science.

Why not a study on how much avoiding homosexual behavior cuts the risk to aids.

[Aquinasfan]

Homosexual agenda types are very heavily involved in the anti-circumcision movement

Yet they're in the forefront of the body-piercing movement. Can someone explain this to me?

Personally, the practice of circumcision is a conundrum for me.

[Feldkurat_Katz]

Poland has Europe's lowest AIDS rate, even though they don't circumcise.

[Marysecretary]

Yeah, cut it off, cut it allllll offffff.
