Do parents have the right to impose unnecessary medical acts on their child that are irreversible? In my point of view... they don't My father taught me very young, how to daily clean my "whistle" and I never had any hygienic problems with it. |

And whatever you think of their views, none of them are going to affect government policy, as we've already seen.

As far as I can see there's no downside to it if done early enough.

Germany has Implemented Fines From up to 50m Euros For "Obvious Illegal" Contents.
Social Media Companies: Germany has Implemented Fines From 5m up to 50m Euros For "Obvious Illegal" Contents.
From October, Facebook, YouTube, and other sites with more that two million users in Germany must take down posts containing hate speech or other criminal material (for example invocations of killing persons) within 24 hours. Content that is not obviously unlawful must be assessed within seven days. The new law is one of the toughest of its kind in the world. Failure to comply will result in a 5m Euro penalty, which could rise to 50m Euros depending on the severity of the offence. Fake news The law will not come into force until after the German federal elections, which will be held in September. ----------------------------------------- There are controversies between the"right of free speech" and so called "Hate Speech", that should not go unmentioned. But it's also right, that this acts are becoming rampant during the last couple of years, and social media did as good as nothing (don't want doing ! ) against it.

There can be a lot of complications (some long lasting). Also (i can't compare), sometimes it really goes wrong (i don't think i need to go into detail here) It's also supposed to make masturbation more difficult (which is likely the reason why it got so popular in certain religions, because pleasure is evil, you know). And apparantly there's somewhat of a higher percentage of bedwetting with cut kids (which has to do with friction on the tip of the penis and a narrowing of the exposed pee-tube (non-medical term) As for the 'clean' argument, that is hardly an issue anymore in our modern hygienic society. The foreskin is there for a reason! Despite all the medical arguments it's just morally wrong. We don't tattoo our children either, do we? (of course, if you're an adult, you do whatever you want to yourself) |

Even if millions of others like some Muslims also believe this nonsense. If a Muslim MP was advocating in state schools it I'm pretty sure they'd be demonised by the press. It's not about being left wing it's about whether education is about science and reason or religious dogma. They've already affected Gov't policy if they hadn't made the deal, the DUP would have likely voted for the amendment to increase Public Sector Pay for the whole UK and not just for NI. And because of their views on abortion the English health service has to now pay for NI women's abortions without any increase in funding. Last edited by vinceprince; June 30th, 2017 at 01:13 PM.. |

Luckily we live in a secular society, where creationism is not taught in Northern Irish schools, and I can't find anything anywhere to suggest that teaching creationism in schools is DUP policy.

There is some evidence that circumcision has health benefits, including:
Circumcision also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean. Note: Some studies show that good hygiene can help prevent certain problems with the penis, including infections and swelling, even if the penis is not circumcised. What are the risks of circumcision?Like any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with circumcision. However, this risk is low. Problems associated with circumcision include:
It's not morally wrong because there are clear health benefits if done properly. There are no health benefits to a tattoo so the two are not comparable. It's right it should be the parents' choice.

David Simpson MP Has also lobbied to have creationism included in the science curriculum in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland's born-again Christian culture minister has called on the Ulster Museum to put on exhibits reflecting the view that the world was made by God only several thousand years ago. Nelson McCausland believes that Ulster Protestants are one of the lost tribes of Israel, has written to the Ulster Museum's board of trustees urging them to reflect creationist and intelligent design theories of the universe's origins. DUP assembly member for West Tyrone, Thomas Buchanan, last year endorsed an event promoting creationism to be "taught in every school". The event included presenting "the biblical case for the sound teaching of children" that will "offer helpful practical advice on how to counter evolutionary teaching". DUP politician Edwin Poots has expressed his views that the planet is a "young earth" created just 4,000 years ago. "You’re telling me that cosmic balls of dust gathered and there was an explosion" We’ve had lots of explosions in Northern Ireland and I’ve never seen anything come out of that that was good," he told the Radio Times. Mervyn Storey is the Chair of the DUP’s Education Committee. He is also a member of the Caleb Foundation that believes, amongst other things, that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old despite the fact that it is most certainly not. Disregarding science and reason, ‘Young Earthers’ as they’re known, subscribe to the literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis, that the planet was created by God in six days. Some 40% of DUP activists believe that creationism should be taught in science classes, a Belfast Telegraph survey has found. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/party-conference-teach-creationism-in-science-class-40-of-dup-29781222.html |
