It's funny hearing about it, but yes, I know of people such as yourself
and *do* feel for them.

I actually had a friend much like that, and at a party one day we were all
standing around gibbering shit and playing games and I went upstairs,
grabbed an item and came back down with it. I handed it to her and said
"If anyone can guess what it is, they win a bottle of wine of their own
choosing from my cellar."

Well, she studied it intently, and seveal other people came over to have a
look and make a few guesses, but nobody came close, so as she was holding
it, I said "It's my kneecap."
They all knew I'd had an operation awhile back, but had 'forgotten' about
it.

LOL!! I've never seen a more instant reaction!! She froze rock solid,
looking straight ahead, eyes as wide as saucers and with my kneecap in the
palm of her outstretched hand that was held rigidly to her side...... not
making a sound. After about 45 seconds I thought she'd scream or
something, but she didn't, so I reached over and took my cap out of her
hand.

She immediately burst into action, ran about 6 feet away and threw her
guts up!!

Whenever I see her now we can have a laugh about it, but she wasn't too
happy at the time :-)

If I experienced pain as an infant, I don't recall it. I don't consider it
mutilation and I'm glad my parents had it done.

I've never used it to play the guitar so it has no calluses on it either.
Otherwise, it has served me well. Added bonus: It's kind of cute.

Sounds like a BS story, except in an emergency to save a life doctors
don't perform surgical procedures on their own family members.

The foreskin consisting of innumerable elements or aspects??? Innumerable?
I don't think so.

Oh ? Then why are there 0.9 cases per 100.000 people in the USA

No circumcision in Gemrany.

More importantly, I saw a peregrine falcon this morning sitting on a

twice a year. Sometimes they have another smaller bird in their
beak. The city keeps a few falcons on the roof of the city hall. For
pigeon control.

http://www.who.int/hiv/topics/maleci.../en/index.html
There is compelling evidence that male circumcision reduces the risk
of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%.
Three randomized controlled trials have shown that male circumcision
provided by well trained health professionals in properly equipped
settings is safe. WHO/UNAIDS recommendations emphasize that male
circumcision should be considered an efficacious intervention for HIV
prevention in countries and regions with heterosexual epidemics, high
HIV and low male circumcision prevalence. Male circumcision provides
only partial protection, and therefore should be only one element of a
comprehensive HIV prevention package which includes:

* the provision of HIV testing and counseling services;
* treatment for sexually transmitted infections;
* the promotion of safer sex practices;
* the provision of male and female condoms and promotion of their
correct and consistent use.

why in god's name are the people in san francisco concerning themselves

oh, wait. the man spearheading the drive is *** and likes uncut penises.
i don't think that makes him a 'usual' guy, even in SF. and making
circumcision illegal even for religious reasons is a complete non-starter.

Unfortunately this doesn't say anything towards *how* it reduces the
prevention of HIV. It could all be correlative, which the article
mildly suggests against itself.

I wish the Board of Stoops would do their job. I pick filling pot
holes and keeping the streets clean instead of making SF a nuclear
free zone and dictating personal choices, like circumcision.

I don't even know if it was male or female. I suppose that females
can have circumcision, although I'd rather not perform that operation
on a live falcon.

Well, DUH... it's San Fran... res ipsa loquitur!

The better question is why would any sane person want to live in that

To me it sounds like they are sufferring from 'amputee syndrome'... the
thing that happens when someone loses a leg or arm or body part.

Not *all* someone's, either. Most people are able to get on with their
lives without lamenting every day about their lost body part.

We used to have a pair (Frodo and Frieda) nesting up on the 27th floor of
an aprtment block in the heart of Brisbane..... they were quite the
celebrities for some time.

Haven't heard anything about them for a couple of years now.

Being born in 1950, just about every male of my generation was
circumcized. No one ever seemed to have anything to complain about. The
only foreskin related complaints I ever heard were from the older
generation who all seemed to know someone who had gone through hell due
to an adult circumcision.

years, they'd been nesting in Brisbane for 8, and haven't been seen since
2008..... life goes on.)



Peregrine falcons Frodo, Frieda habits may be changing

* Brian Williams
* September 22, 2008 12:00AM



AFTER about eight years of winter nestings, Brisbane's peregrine falcons
might be returning to traditional spring mating.


Queensland Museum officer and birdwatcher Greg Czechura said yesterday
there was no sign of celebrity falcons Frodo and Frieda starting to nest.

The pair usually sets up a nursery on a ledge on the 27th floor of the
Admiralty Towers flats at Petrie Bight.

They have become famous via a Courier-Mail webcam set up where they have
raised chicks since about 2001.

Mr Czechura said it was most likely that many raptors had delayed nesting
because of Brisbane's cool winter.

"The other thing is that they might have decided to go elsewhere," he
said. "In the city you can get all sorts of disturbances for birds and
there are buildings going up that create noise or different wind patterns
that they might not like.

"I'm still hopeful they will nest and I won't start worrying until about
mid-October."

Peregrines mate for life and live about 10 years on average.

Crow-sized peregrines are not only the fastest bird in the world, they are
also one of the most efficient aerial hunters.

The Environmental Protection Agency says peregrines reach speeds of at
least 180km/h.

Millions of years of evolutionary fine-tuning have gone into the birds,
which boast forward-facing eyes, glare-reducing black faces, vision eight
times better than ours, the ability to focus on objects at top speed and
being able to see prey more than 3km away.

Peregrines have also adapted well to urban environments.

New York is home to more pairs of peregrines than any city in the world,
with 10 per cent of the eastern US population. Brisbane has six to 10
pairs.

That's what they thought with all the chicks that hatched over the years.
Maybe we'll see something come Spring.

IMO, that is more mutilation than any circumcision. I don't see any beauty
in it either, but to each his own.

It made me shudder.

Especially the ones with the festering sores.
