that's just plain sick :/

they should start with teaching boys about love and sex, not "treat" the girls with a different form of physical (and possibly psychological) abuse

[b i o n i c]

they should iron mens' penises instead

^lets not be to crazy here:rolleyes: ..people just need to smarten the hell up

[beastieangel01]

that's horribly depressing. The fact that it is not only painful but they do it to avoid rape?!

Sometimes this is a horrible world we live in.

[drizl]

what about the fact that there is such a risk in getting raped in cameroon...such a risk that people would go to these lengths to help reduce the chance...
rape is the issue here, and it seems like their society is in such bad shape that they do whatever they can to keep assholes away from their children. sad....really.

What the fuck is wrong with these people? That is absolute insane. There is a village, or tribe of people, that will cut off a female's clitoris when she turns, like twelve or thirteen, for some similar stupid ass reason.

Unbelieveable.

You know, Turd, alot of shit you say I may not agree with but I've never known you to be so blatantly ignorant and stupid and racist. I was really suprised to read this, man.

My father is black and my mother is white so, of course, as I should, I take extreme offense to your remark. Not that you give a fuck. Just letting you know.

things are fucked up and hard to understand. and sometimes to try and understand is to impinge your beliefs on the cultures and rights of others. just take care of yourself, and if someone asks for help, and it is right, and you want to help, then do it.

I think black/white mixed and spainish/black mixed are some of the most beautiful ppl in the world. I think that black ppl with light brown eyes are pretty. I've never believed that you shouldn't mix ethnicities. It gives the world a new and beautiful look.
