Are you serious?! That’s so horrible!!
That’s messed up.
Disgusting. But hey, we do business with them alllll the time now. Forget human atrocities. It’s about the buck.
Unbelievable!
That is so sad. I remember in nursing school that I received a punishment for a mischevious act—I was assigned to do a speech to the other students about the practice of female circumcision and the subsequent physical problems that such an act would cause. At the time, I was pissed off about having to do a talk on something I thought was unneccessary. But after my years in the ER, and seeing the victims of such practices (women from foreign coutnries), I was glad that I had learned about it and could help such a patient in a discreet and understanding manner.
If that had been a “cultural custom”, or just claimed to be one, it would have been OK, right? I mean, pushing needles into babies or cutting off parts of their penises…
That is sad, I hope things change with time for the better. Our views. http://coolmristuff.blogspot.com/
