Looks like someone may be looking in the "personalization" mirror! Perhaps it sounded to you like I was saying that ALL of Africa condones female genital mutilation, but what I actually said was that there is a cultural imperative there that condones and perpetrates female genital mutilation -- something that you have confirmed here is true. (15 tribes out of 450 I wouldn't call "only," by the way.) (There is a cultural imperative in the U.S. to have voicemail, but that doesn't mean everyone does, and that doesn't mean anything about me personally.) I was drawing a parallel between what I see as three related forms of grown-ups power-over children. It was up to you, not me, to make it all about you. I'm sorry if your mistaken belief that I was speaking of you personally, your parents, your wife, or every last person in Africa, when I mentioned those two practices, had you feeling bad.

I feel no need to try to make a fool out of you.

you posts have never been friendly in all the threads i have posted in this forum I thus assume you don’t like my kind, why don’t you just shoot OBAMA and get it over with!
I don't notice any resemblance between you and Mr. Obama. In what way are you two of a kind?

(I'm pretty sure that promoting the assassination of the president of the United States is against law, by the way, or at least the forum rules. Just a word to the wise. And anyway, if I were to do that, I'm not clear on how would that get my unfriendliness over with.)
