I know there is a difference in the degree of mutilation, but can't we all agree that both are forms of mutilation forced upon those that have no choice.

My question starts off with a short story, bear with me please.
My cousin's girlfriend gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Sept. 21. When I came to visit the doctor was disscussing circumsion with Amanda (gf) and Chris (my cuz). He warned them that it was an awful experince for their son and he will be in pain for several days.
When the doctor left we, Chris, Amanda, my other cousin Linds got into a discussion about how painful it was. Linds, who has a 4 year old son was telling them of her experience with her son and warning them that it is intense to see your baby in that much pain. But she was still for the circumcision. I expressed my opinion that when I have children that I'm not getting them circumcised.
They immediately turned on me, despite the fact that I have done research on both FGM and circumcision.

The Blazer has a new fuel pump, filters, plugs, wires, distributor, coil, ignition module, the whole ball of wax. Once I do get it started it will start all day with no problem until sitting all night. Then it is hard to start again. I have 65 lbs of fuel pressure so it can't be that. I brought it to GM and he put it on the computer and nothing came up. He said let's start replacing parts and see what we come up with. At the money it would cost to find the problem no way.

why is there a purpose for living just because god exists? if he exists is his purpose that you go to heaven if you do what you are forced to do?? so the purpose of living is just going somewhere else when you no longer lived?
and about purposes if live without a purpose is so difficult to understand: what is the purpose of cockroaches, or mosquitoes or flies? if their purpose is just to be food for another animal then just think of human´s purpose for living to be food for worms.

My girlfriend and I have been together for a little over a month now. I love her to death.

School started about 20 days ago.

So what's the problem?

-I have maybe hung out with her 4 times (twice by ourselves) since school started.

-We have no classes together for the entire year.

-We have no lunch periods together for the rest of the year.

-Neither of us have a licence and we live on opposite sides of town.

-She has cheer after-school from 1:50 to 5, then had homework until 7, when she eats with her family, at which point I'm past curfew.

-She can't meet my mom 'cause my mom still thinks I'm to young for a girlfriend (I'll always be her baby).

-My parents are divorced, and like about 20 mins apart. I go to school with my dad, but still spend each week alternating nights between parents, along with switching houses every other weekend (makes this a lil harder).

There's a lot more, but I'm outa room. Basically, I needa know: What should I do?
