I'm pretty sure at this point San Francisco is just trying to prove they are still relevant. They are the attention whores of American Metropoli.

They are drama queens.

 

[Lemon law]

Well, at least San Fransisco worries about the big picture.

Here the GOP worries about all those abused stem cells.

While San Fran worries about things more substantial like an entire male's for skin.

 

[PokerGuy]

There's always a need for some city to be the standard bearer for stupidity so the rest can learn from it. That's SF's role.

How is this trolling? They're voting to ban male genital mutilation. Female genital mutilation is already illegal on a national level.

mutilation would seem to imply you cant use your junk afterwords

Maiming, or mutilation which involves the loss of, or incapacity to use, a bodily member

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutilation

unless you know, you want to muslim and also say tatoos are mutilation, and illegalize those too

It is illegal to scar or tatoo your children as well.

Thank god. Never underestimate how retarded some parents are.

sf is f'n stupid

Male circumcision is not in the same league as female circumcision. So much so in-fact, they should have different words for the "procedures." The latter is certainly mutilation.

I suspect this is discrimination against Muslims in disguise. Similar to how European countries attempt to ban burqas.

doesn't change the fact that by definition, its not mutilation, as best I can tell

 

[jonks]

Well, a mayor of a city can troll, like when Rainbow Six: Vegas came out and the Las Vegas mayor issued a press release condemning the game setting since "terrorists don't live in Vegas" or some shit.

 

[Macamus Prime]

It's very simple guys; wash your cock while you shower. No need to chop off what God gave you.

And, if you don't wash daily, you are disgusting.

 

[PeshakJang]

Progressives: Fighting for your right to dismember and mutilate a child before it comes out of a womb, but after that, you better keep your hands off his foreskin.

That's the kind of idiocy that comes from not having any real moral principals.

Moral principles like it's ok to murder a baby if the mother didn't consent to the pregnancy?

When those who claim to have moral principals start practicing, they can then preach it to the rest of the sinners out there.

Until then, you can continue letting:
- your daughters be whores before marriage
- abandon your wife who waited for you, as you rotted as a POW, after she gets into a car accident
- practice witchcraft
- abuse various substances; pain killers, alcohol, etc
- pin the fault of a raping of an 11 year old,... on the 11 year old

ok well just call it permanent disfigurement. Is that agreeable to you?

If I read the article correctly they are only proposing ban on children before 18. Once the kid becomes an adult he can chop off his foreskin if he chooses so. I'm not seeing much of a discrimination here.

 

[Jaepheth]

Well...

4chan has shown that a person or group of people can troll.

Pretty much any country's international relations show that countries can troll. (e.g. Israel, British Empire, China, Mongolia, Iraq, etc, etc, etc...)

Therefore, by the squeeze theorem, cities can troll.

There are varying degrees of female circumcision, some more severe than others. ALL forms are banned in the US, even genital "pricking" to my knowledge.

I support SF in this. Routine male infant circumcision is an outdated and unnecessary practice that needs to end.

 

[kylebisme]

There's actually a range of types of female circumcision, cutting off the forskin being comparable to "Type IIa, removal of the labia minora only."

mutilation would seem to imply you cant use your junk afterwords
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutilation.

Rather, it refers to the fact that you can't use your foreskin afterwords, much like women can't use their labia and/or clitoris anymore after female genital mutilation.

That's one of the many things Islam adopted from the Bible, namely Leviticus 19:28. Furthermore, as the Wiki article you linked says:

Mutilation or maiming is an act of physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body, usually without causing death.

Granted, whether a tattoo degrades or enhances the appearance of one's skin is a matter of opinion, but for those on the former side of the argument tattooing does constitute a form of mutilation.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, and such body modifications should only be allowed at the discretion of the individuals themselves. Granted, I'm sure Oprah Winfrey and everyone else who makes big bucks of the foreskin harvest would prefer to keep their gravy train of infant mutilation rolling.

Anyone who says male circumcision is mutilation is lol.

I was circumcised at birth, and frankly I'm sensitive enough when it comes to sex. If I don't pace myself I can easily be done in under a minute. If I had extra foreskin bumping up the sensitivity I'd be even worse off. It's also more sanitary.

So circumcision actually increased my quality of life, mutilation my ass. Go find something else to start a circle-jerk crusade about; oh and block traffic dressed up as a giant penis while you're at it. That'll definitely bring loads of people over to your side.

Ah, c/mon! What woman hasn't said "Gee, if only my man's penis were more sensitive!"

Oh, wait. That would be "D - All of them".

So yes, apparently a city can troll.
