For crying out loud, I don't give a rat's ass about your crusade, it's no skin off my nose. But you really screwed the pooch trying to make some hay over some overliteral interpretation of a common English idiom that is not meant to be taken literally, and it makes you come off so half-baked that it's hard to keep a straight face. Were you born yesterday? It was perfectly by-the-book English and fit the bill for "a far cry from", regardless of how much cocksure swagger you pour on it, so knock it off as you're wasting your breath. bugger meI'm not interested in your advice. And the only person who looks like a fool right now is you. If you're going to make an argument for or against the topic of conversation, then do so. If you're going to support idiocy (which is what you are doing) by suggesting that anyone who challenges the legitimacy of an erroneous statement is in a "crusade", then YOU are wasting your breath. That you are here defending an opinion by trying to cover the erroneous use of the English language suggests that you don't actually have an argument of merit with respect to the topic of conversation. In other words, it's a red-herring! If you think that the two things in question are NOT a comparable, then so be it. I've successfully demonstrated just how ignorant that position is, and so far you don't seem willing to justify it which means I can rest my case. But by all means if you believe that the statement was legitimate from an English grammar standpoint, then you are at liberty to explain exactly how by elaborating on the position. If you're not prepared to do that, then shut the f--k up! PS If you think my reply to you represents "cocksure swagger"....then I consider that a success, and I'm prepaired to continue on with it. Because in my experience its always the people who try to defend idiocy who end up looking like a fool in the end. With that in mind, I strongly recommend that you reconsider your options before your next response

tpfkar I don't give a crap what you're interested in, when you start fighting basic English to make some kind of inane non-point, I'll point it out if I feel like it. The only thing you've demonstrated is potential rain man syndrome. And before you seize-up again, let me stipulate for you that absolutely no precipitation is involved. I'm oftentimes one of the only "reasonable" people here.

I'm oftentimes one of the only "reasonable" people here.Your insults are as feeble as your argument is! There is no actual "fight" here, and if there was one you've already LOST it from a factual standpoint. You can "point out" whatever you want, but at the end of the day one person is right and the other is wrong. And in this case you are arguing for an erroneous position, which makes you wrong and ultimately stupid. According to BASIC ENGLISH, the statement is incorrect. Male and Female circumcision CAN in fact be compared, period! If you want to quibble over HOW they can be compared, or suggest that the comparison is invalid in some way, then you've got to actually make that argument. If you can't then you have no case.

tpfkar The only case I'm arguing is that "not comparable" in English usage never means that you get zapped by a lightning bolt if you try to compare them. I don't know if you really are really this obtuse or if you're just not interested in or capable of successfully arguing against her position that the procedures are very different, but feel free to come on back and yap some more about things I haven't taken a position on for as long as you feel like splashy displays of inanity better serve your fervor than sticking to pertinent arguments. I'll just keep tagging along grateful to you for yet another wtfride. You see, I can argue against (and most likely destroy) your "reasoning" were you to actually provide any.

The only case I'm arguing is that "not comparable" in English usage never means that you get zapped by a lightning bolt if you try to compare them. Well then you can't STOP arguing because nobody here is making such a claim in the first place. I don't know if you really are really this obtuse or if you're just not interested in or capable of successfully arguing against her position that the procedures are very different, I suspect that you are a little too obtuse to follow along with this logic, but I'm going to throw you a bone anyway in hopes that you might be able to catch up okay...Pay attention! IF you want to argue that the two procedures are "very different", then make that argument. Articulate HOW they are different to the degree that we should never be talking about them in the same sentence. Don't throw out a ridiculous statement like "they can't be compared" if you're not prepared to back up your position, because all you are doing then is expressing your offense to the fact that someone else disagrees with your opinion by trying to discredit the opinion of everyone else who disagrees with you. Many people strongly believe that the two things are equally wrong, and to say that they cannot be compared is often an attempt to legitimize one over the other. You still with me so far, or are you still lost in semantics? You see, I can argue against (and most likely destroy) your "reasoning" were you to actually provide any. No you really can't, although you are very welcome to try (and I for one sincerely hope that you do) because I doubt that you have the knowledge or the tools to be able argue that position, much less from the standpoint of reason. Nothing you've said so far in as many replies indicates that you are even capable of presenting a reasonable argument on this topic because your behavior and attitude thus far has been completely unreasonable and borderline brain dead. But again, I welcome you to try!

tpfkar I hear you rain man. I don't care about your latest manic phase, I'll just point out your patent crazy, like going off on common idioms. I understand you need some kind of bizarre crutch to face her reply. That's a quote of your words, sparkles. Any particular reason you're such a bitch today? Are you on your period?

I'll take that as the concession we all predicted, and rest my case. Assuming you were even capable of following along in the first place, IF you had the capacity to put up a reasonable argument in support of the statement made (as you claimed), you'd have done it by now. The only thing you've done is blow a bunch of smoke! Now that you've shown your ass in the crack, it's obvious that you don't really have anything left except as hominem. So when you get a clue, then you can come back and try to make an argument cupcake. Until then, run along.

tpfkar How many do you have in there? I'm happy with how the thread reads. In any case (well, I guess I'd better grant ahead of time that there may literally be some exception case), I enjoy your bluster explosions too much to go anywhere. I'm not interested in "saving" this world. I'm interested in seeing it pass away into the flames of destruction, and recreated into a perfect one.
