I think its safe to safe I literally pissed my pants watching this.
this is the most not-funny (roll with it) thing I have ever seen. WHY IS THIS STILL RELEVANT
god this is still horrible.
Mom took us to the park this evening and it was Riley’s first time. So we had to teach him the ropes: chasing squirrels, romping with our friends, running the fence line, and barking at the big dogs. Mom wanted a picture that would commemorate the moment and she thought this one said it all. Because we were some hard playing dogs.
To explain something that was mentioned in the previous post: Since some people don’t know what female genital cutting is, here is a simple diagram, as well as an estimate of how widely practiced it is in Africa. It is also practiced in India, and parts of the middle east, and parts of Asia, but I didn’t see any charts available from a quick Google search.
I remember reading a excerpt from the book “Desert Flower” as a child, where the author had described being forced down while an old lady sawed off her genitals with a dull blade, and sewed everything shut to one tiny hole for both urine and menstruation to come out of, then bound her legs together. At first, the old lady didn’t cut off her clitoris, but then the grandmother said something like, “Cut that off too. Cut off all this filth. What is it good for anyway?” Or something like that. From then on, only droplets could come out of the one opening, so it took her several minutes just to pee, and she experienced major menstrual complications. After her circumcision, as they call it, her father tried to sell her to an old man, as a wife, in exchange for some farm animals. As an adult, having run away, she was able to get a surgery to open this hole and was able to pee normally, but she will never know sexual pleasure. Sex and childbirth must be excruciating, and life threatening, I would imagine.
“Female genital mutilation is classified into four groups. Type 1 is the excision of the clitoral hood, usually as well as the clitoris. Type 2 is the excision of the clitoris andinner labia. Type 3 is commonly called infibulation, which consists of cutting off all external genitalia, and then binding the girl’s legs together for 2-6 weeks so a scar will form over the opening of the vulva. Before this huge scar is formed, a twig is usually stuck in between the flesh to create a small hole for urine and menstrual blood to flow from. The hole that is produced is initially made small enough to prevent women from having sex, but this is problematic because the small opening obstructs blood and urine flow, which causes infection. When a girl who has infibulation is about to have sex the man either tries to force his penis through the hole, or has to cut it with a knife which frequently results in organ damage, urinary incontinence, obstetric fistula, and death. Type 4 includes the following damage to female genitalia: pricking, piercing, burning, cutting, applying corrosive substances to tighten it, and cutting into the vagina to widen it. FGM has many harmful effects such as: hemorrhaging, urinary infection, hepatitis, and HIV (due to unsterile tools), pelvic infections, epidermoid cysts, and infertility.”
How come people can get a tattoo of their star sign without anyone complaining,
but I’m a total nut for doing this?
This one tells me a lot more about me and how I live my life than most of other peoples tattoos.And it’s not only that I say no to meat. It stands for all my values. To be compassionate, an earthling.
i don’t think you’re nuts.
