RANT: Google Maps said turn left?

Since the procedure can't be reversed, you could say "I'm glad it was done" but then if that's all you know — that's your only reference point.

Where I stand on the issue is simple. I don't care about an adult's preferences one way or the other, whether it's superficial or religious. I'm just in favor of the child not having their rights taken away. Since they can't consent to it I'd rather defer that decision until later in life.

Besides, you don't own your children. They're in your care, you raise them, guide them through life as best you can, but then they're on their own. They're not a possession.

Here's the counter. In the US it's covered under insurance and at that early of an age the recovery time is far faster than if done later in life.

I personally don't agree it's 100% superficial, but I don't feel a parent should be made to feel like they've done something wrong if they make the decision to have it done.

I don't follow basketball, but this post made me google Harden and this article was one of the top results. It was interesting none the less.

To be fair, no one really needed to play D against the Serbs for us to win.

+ hey, nanook frepsicle, look at my proposed trade and then accept. Thanks.

We now return you to Dom's cawk talk hour.

Easily the laziest player I've ever seen on defense. Turrible.

I can see it from your perspective. If you're raising a child in a country where 80%+ are having it done, a simple procedure he will have no memory of conveniently makes him a part of the majority rather than feeling like the odd man out.

Of course it's a contentious issue and many people have strong opinions on it. My stance on it is strictly in favor of the child's rights and on those grounds, without some kind of medical justification I don't think it should be done.

And just because the majority of people in a country choose to do something, doesn't make it "normal." If the practice was banned then after 2-3 generations it would no longer be considered "normal." Here it's been almost phased out with primarily muslims requesting the procedure. From Wikipedia:

The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that globally 30% of males aged 15 and over are circumcised, with almost 70% of these being Muslim.

I didn't initiate the conversation. Give Manly his props. But I know you love cawk talk.

Niles Paul was probably the steal of the morning.

He was my contingency bid in case I didn't get Larry Donnell. I would rather have Paul, actually, if not for Reed coming back whenever and muddling the situation.


I also legitimately expected even more $ to be spent on Knile Davis. Though I suppose 50% of the total season budget is a lot. And O didn't even bid on him.


Edit: And I thought Mark Ingram was going to be on waivers longer than last night. FFS Lencho got him for free

[im2manly]

Didn't Lencho drop him though? If you watched the Giants this season, you'd see that Donnell is Mannings clear go to. O was also did good in getting Brown.

Yeah Lencho dropped him. Then he waited for him to become a FA and snapped him back up (you can't put waiver claims in on people you dropped, they have to clear waivers)

[Farley1324]

This week none of the 2-0 or 0-2 teams play each other.

There could potentially be three at 3-0 and three at 0-3.

The singular 1-1 matchup is myself vs manly

Should be a good match up, interested to see how Khiry and Welker play this week. Both are poised for big games.

I'm still waiting for the official reinstatement of Welker. It's expected but hasn't happened yet.

Khiry is interesting. I'm high on Ingram (started him both weeks in two leagues and own him in a third) but this week I'm starting Pierre Thomas in a couple leagues, not Khiry (had Thomas on the bench in case this happened)

Pierre has the experience and technically got the start last week (and week 1?) but Khiry has been used more like and plays more similar to Ingram.

I really don't know what kind of split they'll see, though I wouldn't be surprised if Khiry gets the bulk of short yardage and goal line looks.

Lotta pen0r these past few pages.

























That's more like it.

[chazzy1864]

I thought about going for Niles Paul, but i have Orange Julius and figured I wouldn't bother. Probably would be nice come next week though.

[adamdavidson47]

Kirk Cousins gonna lead me to the promise land

Not a bad pick up by any means, he is the better QB after all.

At least now I don't have to rely on Tony Crapo

I'm doing some thinking about this one. Will decide within the hour.

An email has been sent to Bobby's Awesome Team using the Yahoo software.

I can't help but notice that Bobby has not made a single move/transaction or lineup change yet on his 0-2 team.

I'm not going to have another deadbeat manager/team that just (auto)drafts and that's the end of it.

If week 4 games are approaching and he hasn't taken action, he will be removed as manager and somebody else will take over.

/public service announcement



Edit: In the meantime, Adam, you might benefit from an easy opponent this week if he doesn't do anything

[Final_Rep]

Already decided. But I'm sure you really wanted to help me out so thx bro.

Beats me, maybe you should change your team name again to further confuse the issue


Edited again: Yup, that's you. Looks like you are going to continue having by far the easiest schedule thus far

Either you or TAAB or both. Most people make poor trades because they only consider the ppg being traded and received.

Spreadsheet Dragon looks forward to rolling 14d20 and pwning the faces off of its opponents this week as well.

The three countries west of India are Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran, in that order.

Yeah, I know. Pakistan and Afghanistan are technically South Asia, but I was wondering about that small country directly east of India.

edit: It's Bangladesh.

Oh whoops. I quickly read what you wrote and processed as west instead of east. My b.

umm, neither did you. Charles sprain is mild, so this might only be a relevant player for a week. no spanks.

I admit it's a big gamble but I was facing a for sure loss this week and decided to gamble and hope Kniles is in for at least 3 weeks.

Leaves me with a 1-2 week Mathews gap, hopefully at most.
