I hate circumcision. It destroyed my sensitivity (feeling), normal sexual function, and resulted in a dry keratinized glans and an ugly scar, as well as physical and emotional suffering.

I HATE CIRCUMCISION.

@Chadolution Me too man, I've gotten in arguments with my parents about it.

I remember, when studying environment science at college, the UK governments scientists denied climate change. As soon as carbon tax was thought up they jumped on climate change.

There was a medieval warm period hotter then now, the past few years have got colder because sun spot activity, usually predictable has not been so. Look at the club of Romes own writings.

Please try not voting, be self employed and only earn enough so you don't pay tax.

@MrBluePsych It's protecting the rights of men to their own bodies, as simple as that. You're happy with your result? Good, but many aren't and wish they had been given the right to experience ALL of their body parts.

If slaves + devices means more production then the ownership of both is worth more than only the slaves. That's my thinking. Otherwise why give employees computers and machines? Remember you can also sell the machines if you don't need them anymore.

@BarrySlisk

True, but the slaves are already considered capital equiptment. The new technology, though good in the long run, would severly hurt the resale value of previously purchased slaves.

[BarrySlisk]

I don't get the argument regarding slaves. Labour saving devices would make your slaves even more effective just like it makes your employees even more effective. Thus making you richer.
