Israel is kind of a western country. They also cover British, French and Canadian issues more than Surinamese or Togolese. We expect them to behave better than all these backwards brown people. And are just generally more interested in what they're doing.

I used to work in a pub and would wash my hands every time... only to see a guy who just came out of a stall walk straight to the door, grab the handle and walk out. Yeah, cheers dude, I'm not about to go and serve people food and drinks straight after touching that handle or anything.

Ha, hadn't even realised.

So you hold it against your dick? Yeah, I think I won't be borrowing people's phones much in the future.

If it helps the fight against HIV, I reluctantly agree with it. I would say that I think they need to see whether it translates into a long-term, real world effect before we start wildly circumcising people left, right and centre.

Why do people pretend that conservatives are rational or respectable people?

I am aware of that but the studies their decision was based on were not perfect. I wouldn't say it is a necessity; condom use, drugs and behavioural changes are far more effective than circumcision.

It's still a reasonable statement. You might disagree with it but it's not self-evidently wrong.

The evidence isn't actually that clear cut.

Male circumcision isn't any more of an open debate than female circumcision. And given that it was promoted in the US for years as a way of stopping men masturbating, I'd say there were similar political implications for male circumcision.

I really think it should've been called Soylent Peen.

Firstly it says he wasn't invited to return to his volunteer job after this bizarre moose email, THEN he sent threatening emails to members of staff and trespassed on school property, which was what actually led to the ban. 'tis all there in the article.

You mean erectile dysfunction didn't exist before the '70s? Weird.

Because for some reason it's a contentious issue. And for some reason, some people think it is or should be illegal to breast feed your kid in public.

Not many virgins around I would guess.

It's hard to see your friends go out with assholes when you know how it's going to end and people don't handle it very well.

I just wanted to applaud the headline (I didn't read the rest of the article because of the apparent false dichotomy in the second paragraph). But great headline.
