Sure, and some may have been cheering because their pet dragons were finally going to be freed, but it's probably not too helpful to dwell on those folks.

In any event, obviously in my view freedom trumps PC considerations, particularly those with extra cushion for keeping girls down.

since 60 % are circumsized maybe they got nothing better to do than the dishes?

And I'd rather live now in one of the social democrat statist Scandanavian countries than free markert Asian Tiger Singapore. Call me nutty.

I can't believe that people here would so easily trade away the rights of 50% of the population.

Actually, I guess I can believe it. As much as some have tried to hide it, property rights have always been accorded more deference than civil rights by a certain political segement here in the US.

what rights are they losing? did someone find a cite or are you just working out the arguments in case later you find out some were lost?

It looks like that 60% number is attributed to the Kurdish population in the north. How awful for those girls. I can't imagine doing that to any woman, much less a 3-8 year old.

2 I've been to Singapore. the food is great.

Does Burger have a cause of action against you for the use of that phrase under your avatar?

How's this for a cite? From Voice of America ("Editorials Reflecting the Views of the
United States Government" according to the page):

Manal Omar is regional representative in Iraq of Women for Women International, a private organization. She told a reporter, "Many Iraqi women are outraged by the idea that [the current draft of the] constitution refers to Islamic Shariah [law] as the primary legal source, especially as it relates to the personal-status law."

Under Shariah, women receive smaller inheritances than men and have fewer rights if they divorce. "Many women are not against Islamic law in the constitution," says Ms. Omar, "but feel that safeguards need to be put in place with regard to interpretations and applications of an overarching Islamic Shariah."

I haven't read Iraq’s interim constitution, but I understand that it contains an equal protection clause appplicable to men and women. The current draft reportedly does not have such a clause.

We've settled. In lieu of Hank's sending RT a vibrator, Hank and Balt will sponsor the board for another month. Win, win, win!

I certainly don't place property rights above women's rights (and I mean real civil rights), but we don't live in a perfect world.

Fortunately for me, Hank's and Balt's are lower.

I'd be happy to give up the title, provided all the wrongs done to me are corrected:

1- Mr Roeysssbrioeck flips and then deletes the sock who stole my beloved Juan the Marine sock. How can anyone who cares about this board take that sock away. Of course, i know right now Penske will not be able to support this.

2- i am given my rightfully won Superbowl pool prize from 4 years ago.

Hank, in an ideal world I would support numero uno and I agree that you were unfairly wronged. I think that flipping and deleting would be ex post facto, and that is wrong. There are higher priniciples involved here.

#2 I support.

None of this changes the taint on your self-proclaimed title. Do you think Hillary is smarter than Marilyn Vos Savant?

huh?

the sock who stole Juan is entitled to anon status while I have to blow my cover so that some voice is there to cry out for redress?

Are you with the ACLU criminal rights division?

Maybe you should take Burger's approach and sell out. Place an ad here and on Craig's List to purchase the Juan sock. I think Patentgreedy is still here or if not, he does craigslist-that is how he met Paigow.
