csteele you leave me no choice,folk like you, without reserve, keep me away from increasing numbers of threads.
I come to learn and debate.
And the red necks come to leave trash one sided views here, and insult those who actually put thought in to comments.
It is my view, you come here to defend middle eastern folk and with practiced ease try to cover comments against them.
You refer to my habit of continuing to post in my own threads, guilty.
Show me your true ID you switched conversations mid stream,why.
Csteele in time I will leave OLO but for many/most truth will remain.
The left, like the right, very should be in front of those terms, need to come here, in real life they could not get a crowd giving away 50 dollar notes.
This morning one from each group you from the so far left it is idiotic and good old boy Raw Mustard have branded me, room for truth exists forever.
Muslim Koran tells the followers of this fantasy to lie, some do it well.

Sorry, hands up, I did wrong.
I let csteele get to me,charged off mid first post and posted.
I recommend we all read every post from our last FIRST.
Went back did that.
Rechtub? I like to see others threads run for a long time, and my comment was aimed at new arrivals purely red necks.
I however have lost interest in rechtubs threads, clearly not that one.
csteele look at what may be my ex freind Lexis last post, IT COULD BE YOU!
FGM! now see? skidding around the issue, it is done still here in this country, do we now defend RAPES in INDIA as a cultural thing!
I love this site, contribute to its upkeep,like its cool headed moderation.
But you? best I not say, best I not tell again the very real damage deniers like you bring.
To the victims of this middle ages CULT.
You by inference say millions world wide thinking as I do are lessor to the followers of a never existed God

Lexi,
I think you are giving far too much consideration to the perpetrators of FGM (the parents) rather than consideration for the victims.

I recall reading that in colonial India there was a traditional practice of burning the wife of a deceased man on his funeral pire. The general in charge stated that the British also had a tradition of hanging those that did such things. I do not recall if any hangings took place, but the culture of wife burning on funeral pires stopped.
The point is that, if penalties are harsh enough cultural practice can change. Bullfighting is a traditional cultural practice, but very rare here because it is difficult to hide and the penalties are harsh.

So do not disscount strong law enforcement and harsh penalties in relation to FGM. 18 years of education, without any decrease in the incidence, indicates that further measures are required.

Belly,

"...do we now defend RAPES in INDIA as a cultural thing!"

What!?

If rapes happened only in India, you might have an argument.

Or should we assume that all the rapists of Anglo-European decent in Australia are operating from a cultural perspective?

Having perused csteele's recent analysis, I conclude that the above comment from you was one more example of the same.

Dear Banjo,

It isn't me who's 'giving too much consideration
to the perpetrators of FGM instead of the victims.'
That statement of yours is wrong. I am simply
quoting the medical professionals who work with
the victims of FGM in our leading hospitals and
from their experience they're telling us - what
will work and what won't. You believe that harsher
penalities will work. They, from their experience
have found this not to be the case and they've
stated what they believe will work.

If you want to disagree with people who actually work
and have to deal with this issue on a regular basis.
That up to you.

See you on another thread.

Gentlemen of the world lay down you pen!
Least some thing you say offend Poirot Lexi, or the mystery within a mystery csteele.
Least too your honest opinions are hurled back at you in the form of the insulting ,but lovable charge *you said it to keep,waiting drums ! the thread going*!
Charming stuff, purely rubbish to.
In my country, CRIMSON HELL!
Who gave me the right to name a thread that.
And as for the MILLIONS around the world sharing my views? crazy s the lot of them!
Not so, I proudly distance myself from Banjos brand of believe nothing Labor say politics.
Banjo can not hurt the party.
But deliberately! yes I charge these pro Islamics, with deliberately skirting around females being butchered enslaved and EVEN making lite of my reference to RAPE IN INDIA, every 20 minutes.
Swinging voters please, do not give up on true left but never forget the very left is a leach.
Riding any cause, over looking any crime, to be seen.
Do you know I gave thought to leaving?
I have often done so red necks without true understanding I can handle.
Its the bitterness of the female left the unconcern about issue they see differently.
Csteele even charged me, poirot too, with being here to build my ego.
GUTLESS and untrue ladys!
It always has been men who die at the front defending this country.
This cult is of harm to world peace and its own female members.
Hundreds of thousands think that in this country alone.
I NEVER will retreat from grubbiness aimed at stopping me haveing an opinion.
I NEVER EVER SAID A SINGLE WORD TO PROLONG A THREAD!
Who ARE you csteele, you now know who I am but who are you.
