The Sanhedrin hasn't sat since the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD. So it wasn't outlawed by law, but rather the authority that enacted it disappeared.

This is a normal post Nobody is going to force a Jew to eat Pork though.
Obviously the antiquity of a practice doesn't make it more likely to be right. But this is a religion that has been allowed to do its thing until now, and now we decide, it isn't right. Novelty doesn't make an idea right, either. It's our morals vs theirs.

This is a normal post Quite why an ancient practice based on personal hygiene and aimed at preventing masturbation thousands of years ago
is still practiced today does not make sense at any level. As well as that, there is plenty of research which shows circumcision leads to long term physiological and psychological problems in later life.

Enough fuss was made of docking the tails of dogs, which is now outlawed in the UK at least, but has similar physical and psychological effects as circumcision - and was proven to shorten life expectancy in dogs.

Both are barbarous practices which have no place in the modern world, along with female genital mutation.

This is a normal post I don't think masturbation has anything to do with it.
It's still practiced today because people are still Jews today and it's one of the rules of Judaism. As such it doesn't need to be justified on practical grounds.

"Barbarous" is rhetorical language, I'd be careful of it.

This is a normal post Shariah law only applies to muslims even in muslim countries.
I'm sure there are individuals who get angry about all sorts of things, but I don't see any muslims anywhere demanding the legal right to slit people's throats in Western countries because the Quran says so.

It's an interesting point about the limits of religious freedom, though. We have to draw a line somewhere I suppose. But circumcision of your own child is hardly comparable to killing someone.

This is a normal post many years ago
i went to a conference in oxford about nuclear terrorism. the upshot of it was- it is incredibly easy to procure nuclear materials from ex-soviet sources, any idiot can set it off because you don't need it to produce a proper thermonuclear explosion to work, you just need to irradiate a large area.

in summary, it's pretty surprising we still haven't been subjected to an attack.

certainly back then (15 years ago) there was no proper auditing of the warheads in ex soviet bases, or more worryingly nuclear waste, uranium oxide etc, low level stuff from soviet civilian nuclear projects. The guys tasked with guarding them were paid a pathetic pittance, compared to the massive sums they could get for the stuff they were guarding.

a lot of money from the west has gone in to securing the nuclear stuff in the east since then, but i doubt it is anything apporaching properly secure even now.

I was witness to a young lad tied by his long hair to a chair with his mouth taped and they then sprayed him with water, due to having his mouth taped and the water being freezing he very nearly drowned/asphyxiated from having to breath heavily thru his nose, and no matter how much sense I made nor how much I tried to make them understand, I was a party pooper to be ignored. The poor cunt had to cut his own hair off to get free.
