Circumsicion

[intrepidus6]

I'm in a perfectly good mood, Intrepidus6. I pointed out what seems very clearly to be your fakery just above. Also, I was simply being candid, not flaming you. And this has absolutely nothing to do with your stance on circumcision, I assure you. I disagree with people all the time on these boards quite happily, but if you had read what I wrote further above, you'd see that I believe circumcision for religious reasons is generally reasonable justification. Others disagreed with you on that that, but I wasn't one of them.

Let me spell this out for you again so you can understand where your hypocrisy stands out. If this doesn't help you understand what I'm saying, then you're simply going to have to stop and think about this for a time until it makes sense, and youâ??re going to need to read this information very slowly and deliberately. Letâ??s start with three basic facts:
1. You sign up to participate on an Internet forum where people discuss things with strangers.
2. You initiate a thread containing a poll on the subject of circumcision, asking if people are circumcised and what their opinions on the subject are. Later in the thread, you mention that you wish youâ??d been circumcised
3. You state your basis for supporting circumcision, which is your religious beliefs.

Now for the contradictions, which certainly look very hypocritical, considering the three corresponding facts above:
1. You demur (avoid giving an answer based on your scruples) answering someone's question in one of the posts above because you'd "rather not discuss this with someone I don't know." See the contradiction there? You're the one who signed up to participate on an Internet discussion board. That's who you discuss things with on these forums--perfect strangers.
2. When Stoner Shadow Wolf asked you why you wish youâ??d been circumcised, you said â??for religious reasonsâ?� but when he questioned you further, you told him youâ??ve already said more than you should â??to just any random person.â?� The contradiction here is the fact that you raised the subject and initiated the thread in the first place, then stated your own reasons for wishing youâ??d had the procedure. Yet you didnâ??t feel you could answer his questions because heâ??s a random person? Again, remember, youâ??re the one who signed up to participate on an Internet discussion board with, yes, random people. More than just one contradiction there.
3. When Stoner Shadow Wolf asked you why your religion condoned the removal of a boyâ??s foreskin, you gave a very brief explanation before demurring again on the basis that you really shouldnâ??t be discussing such things with a random person or someone you â??donâ??t even knowâ?� and saying you needed to discontinue your discussion of such godly matters. The contradiction here lies in the fact that you pointed to your religious beliefs to justify your support for circumcision, yet when he questioned you about it, you said you couldnâ??t continue discussing godly matters with someone you donâ??t know. Contradiction number 1 is involved here, too. Youâ??re discussing all this with people you donâ??t know. You started a thread to discuss this whole subject with people you donâ??t know.

Iâ??m fairly certain this may all confuse you further, and Iâ??ve just about come to the conclusion that youâ??re not able to read and understand things quite in the same fashion that others do, which means my assessment of you as a faker may indeed be inaccurate. If you were actually able to comprehend the posts above, none of what Iâ??ve said above would have been confusing to you, including that little aside regarding plastic surgery and tattoos, which you interpreted me as having disapproved of.

I certainly wish you well on your quest for circumcision peace, but I suspect that it may be of benefit to your mental health if I stop engaging you in further conversation here.

My religion is very secretive and I am trying to answer people's questions as best I can without giving more information than should be given.
If you noticed I did not bring up the discussion of religion. Somone else asked me why I wished to be circumcised and I said "for religius reasons" a very general statement as I didn't wish to say more than necessary.
When questioned further I gave the 5 sentence version of a 50 page story.

I would like to make a point about your last paragraph, particallarly this sentence:
"but I suspect that it may be of benefit to your mental health if I stop engaging you in further conversation here."

Ever watched the movie V for Vendeta? Remember how when V and that girl (I can't think of the girls name at the moment) first meet she says "are you like a crazy person?" and V responds by saying "I'm sure some will think so."
Well just think on that a minute.

"I would rather not discuss this with somone I don't even know. When you start saying such things you are dabbling with great power." How about when we type them, do they still pulse with power when we type them?

Please do not make fun of my religion. You have literally brought me to tears.

It is so obvious.
He is just playing a game.

HAHA! I didn't even see your post before I posted the last one. This guy is toast. I am even a little embarrased for the guy. I got an idea for him though. Abandon Intrepid6 and come back as another username and be himself and stop perpetuating a fraud.

I'm going to stop posting in this thread, and I am never going to mention my religion on this forum again. I guess I just assumed pot smokers would be a little more open minded than this.
I would like to give a closing statement that I swear I am not making any of this up. If I had said I was jewish I bet none of you would have thought I was faking. Why are you discrimonatory against my religius beliefs?

Plant and Geonagual, y'all crack me up. I'm still laughing about your last two posts. Yeah, I do type fast, Geonoagual. I worked as a writer for many, many years, and so I can write as fast as I think and type to keep up with that pace. Still, I need to work on brevity and keeping my messages tighter and shorter. More people would be able to read and understand them, I suspect.

Intrepidus6, I confess I do have some questions about your mental state. It's been the teachings of my professors in medical school that the more someone distorts iinformation or misinterprets what others are saying, generally the more shaky the mental stability. However, you may also simply be young, a little uneasy about posting here, heavily stoned, or confused, especially after such a long discussion. I'm also curious about why you seem to be expending anguish and mental energy on the fact that you weren't circucised as a baby. Frankly, there are a good many other things most other young adults spend their time feeling concerned about. If you're participating in a highly secretive religion, that might be one area to look at, particularly if you intend to point to your religion in public forums as the reason behind your motivations.

Whatever the case, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in all this. Like I said, I wish you great peace. You just might want to be wary in the future of initiating posts on a public forum, stating your opinions, and then being called on the carpet when you're not strong enough to stand behind your reasoning or when you're hesitating on the grounds that you can't discuss certain topics with strangers.

[birdgirl73]

Why are you discrimonatory against my religius beliefs?

Anothing red flag went up on this one because it's another pretty significant distortion on your part. No one has been discriminatory at all about your religion. Not in the least. They've simply asked you how and why your particular faith justifies circumcision and whether your hesitancy to discuss your religion is an indication of your feeling embarrassed about it. That's it. Those were not discriminatory statements at all. Just statements of simple curiosity. You're the one who colored that as discriminatory.

rofl secretive religious sect? sounds like a cult :P no offense, just found that particularly funny...

Please.
I, and everyone else here, have no 'effin clue what your religion is, as you went V For Vendetta on us before even hinting at it. Not that it matters, as it's clearly your attitude here that is the real source of amusement.
Bringing you to tears (gods I hope you're joking) was not my intention by any means, but if it really is the case then I'm sorry to say you need to grow a pair. Or Thatchers, if you're a lady.

I'm going to stop posting in this thread, and I am never going to mention my religion on this forum again. I guess I just assumed pot smokers would be a little more open minded than this.

Yeah, take Plant's advice and throw away your shovel. That hole ain't gettin any smaller. Feigning self-righteous indignation doesn't come across to well online I guess...
