Pakistan Blocks YouTube

Multiple readers have written to tell us of news that Pakistan has ordered its ISPs to block access to YouTube "for containing blasphemous web content/movies." This follows increasing unrest in Pakistan over a Danish newspaper's reprinting of cartoons which depict Islam in a less-than-favorable light. The cartoons also sparked controversy when they were first published a few years ago.

Permanently removing any body part a parent chooses from an infant is justified as long as no "double-blind controlled study" shows a harmful affect? You feel justified telling a parent how to raise their child without any proof to back your point of view up?

Children are not property. Just because my children aren't my property doesn't mean that you get to tell me what to do with them. They ARE my responsibility - so until I do something that you can SHOW to be irresponsible, leave us all alone.

Unless there is a "double-blind controlled study" showing a benefit, removing body parts is basically ricing your child. Lots of cultures practice some form of mutilation. Unless it is detrimental, there is no reason to stop it. Unless it just infuriates you that people aren't doing what YOU do, and you need to go all fascist on them.
