None of which affects my point about the similarities of FGM and MGM either. It just shows your continuing propensity to go off on a tangent when you have no real answer, based on definitions which you admit are necessarily arbitrary.
You are also using the word "retarded" again gratuitously, knowing that I have a seriously autistic brother. That's neither big nor clever.
You will never win an argument for no other reason than that you have an autistic brother. You shouldn't even mention it.
I'm getting tired of explaining to you that an ad hominem is not always a bad thing. It can be perfectly logical and necessary in many cases.
You have no point. People all over the place do things that are not healthful. They smoke their lungs out. They eat till they burst. They engage in disease transmitting activities. Parents generally do have control over their children's health and safety. Sometimes parents do things that you might not agree should be done. Most parents, especially religious parents, make decisions that their children later approve very much. Very few parent do things that should not be done, and when they do it is not because of religion as has been thoroughly established here. I admire your efforts to persuade people to stop doing harmful things to their children, but you are obviously not going to be effective. Your superficial understanding of science, religion, society, and law is no help whatever. You might rather enjoy fishing. Do you live near well stocked waters?
A fallacy, by the way such as an ad hominem is, cannot be logical - while insults instead of proper argument are never necessary, except of course for those who have nothing else to contribute. Just saying.
If by "intellectually inferiority of your friends" you again refer to my mentally handicapped brother then I feel sorry for you. No one else on this or the old board has been so deliberately crass, over and over or made the insults so personal, even when politely asked to stop.
