ORIGINAL: Starbuck09 I presumed as you were posting on this thread that you did LaTigresse it is addressed to people who hold that belief that's the only reason. I don't believe all humans are equal nor do I believe they are all of the same value, like you say people devalue their lives. However I do believe that everyone is BORN with the same value and so accordingly should be judged by the same yardstick. I think Tigresse that you may have misunderstood slightly the question i am asking. You say that what gives you the right to judge what is and isn't acceptable. That's fair enough idf you don't believe all of mankind is born with the same value and the question I asked was only directed at these people. If you don't hold that ideal then of course you have nothing to defend. As an aside you say you don't see life and death as that big of a deal, while I completely accepth that this is a valid viewpoint might I suggest that you would think differently if you were scheduled for extermination along with your family for belonging to the wrong tribe, religion, race e.t.c. or having acid poured on your clit to destroy it's sensations. I'm not saying your wrong to have your view but it is, I believe, easier to think like that when you live in a country where death is not such an immediate fact. Of course I would feel differently because it would involve me and mine. What that different feeling, morality.....etc, would be, I cannot say. I can only say what I think based upon my own experiences. Please note, I am not saying what my specific morality is, or how that applies to how I feel about any specific act. I was purposely vague because there are too many variables. I am the mother of an adult son that is circumsized. To many that was a horrible thing to do. Some may see it as horrible as I see the acid on the clit or killing because of religioun or tribe. I have strong feelings about all types of body mutilation, including things many people on this site find meaningful or erotic. Where is the line drawn?
