Reject all you want. It does nothing to change the outcome.

In case you missed it, I originally did say that circumcision should require consent. But sadly, being a newborn male, (and sometimes female in certain places and cultures), just means you consent to some things automatically just by existing and being there.

Now, whether that cultural opinion is right or wrong or fair is a whole 'nother argument.

The end effect of obligations, culture, and circumstances are all just consent - even without your direct permission. If the end result is not different, what is the difference then?

Again, consent by any other name.

Consent by any other name is still consent.

Being born and alive means you just automatically consent to things in life whether you like it or not. But this should not be one of them.

Thankfully, my favorite group, the acappella group Home Free is still inexpensive and even cheap - I paid $30 a seat to see them last year. I could have had a $15 seat in the balcony if I had wanted.

Running an animal to death is just one method. Useful on a hot day when your prey is far more susceptible to heat exhaustion/stroke than you are. And the calories gained from the animal outweigh the calories expended to gain them.

Yahoo, like all home pages and web news sites are aggregators. Just like most websites these days. There are few original sources for international and national news reporting anymore. And the vast majority of websites simply buy the news they want.

It's one big circle jerk with everyone citing pretty much the same sources all the time.

They try and use google, which doesn't tell you anything about the information contained in the book. Or they complain about not being able to find the page they are told to look for.

You are going to need to go beyond vegan and need to learn how to live on air and love only.

Yep, students these days have no idea about the back of their books and how useful the index can be and the citations after that.

Even after repeatedly pointing it out, they still don't make use of it. Despite the index being nearly a cheat code in itself.
