Why could you not maintain your self respect? are you saying men with high singing voices are not worthy of respect? or are you sayig effeminate men are not worthy of respect? or are you saying if you were either of them you could not respect yourself? ...how twisted.

@primohomme According to the documentary it was only a handful. Just wondering, do you actually agree with what they did to those boys?

@MARZ8734

I find your insistance on knowing my opinion to be a little...disturbing...

@MARZ8734

No, it was barbaric and ignorant, yet it cannot be changed and some good came of it.

And "they" is an awful lot of people; the church, the parents, the conservatoire, the boys themselves.

Anyway, why do you care so much what I think? I find your question and intention rather disturbing.

@primohomme Yeah but you agree with what they did, don't you?

[primohomme]

@MARZ8734

Only a handful became successful but for almost 100 years between and 3000 and 5000 boys were castrated every year.

If I agree or not is pointless, don't you think?
