Some people really do have too much time on their hands. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised about the following story in San Francisco as it is IN San Francisco, but I can't help to show a little shock. Do these people have nothing better to do with themselves?
A group opposed to male circumcision said on Tuesday they have collected more than enough signatures to qualify a proposal to ban the practice in San Francisco as a ballot measure for November elections.
The leading proponent of a ban, Lloyd Schofield, 59, acknowledged circumcision is widely socially accepted but he said it should still be outlawed.
"It's excruciatingly painful and permanently damaging surgery that's forced on men when they're at their weakest and most vulnerable," he told Reuters.
His group submitted about 12,000 signatures supporting his proposed ban, said Rachel Gosiengfiao, campaign services manager for the city's Department of Elections. The agency has 30 days to verify the petitions. He needs 7,200 valid signatures to qualify.Dude, butt out. You can be against circumcision and that is fine. You are entitled to your own opinion. But don't start pushing your views on other people. Seriously. No one is forcing you to get circumcised and, if you already have been circumcised, then you're done. As far as I know, one only has to go through it once. So what is the big deal? Really, you want to pass a law against it? Why is this any of your business whether or not people decide to do it or not? I could understand your anger if it was mandatory, but it's not. Why not use all your energy toward eradicating something truly horrid from the world, like castration both of men and women. Talk about painful and damaging.
