    If you are young and briliant you have a choice, help the world or help yourself and become filthy rich

    False dilemma. Profit seeking capitalists have done far more good for the world than philanthropists.

  2. Re:Hope someone asked why he supports circumcision by dargaud · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Saying that we should circumcise babies to protect them from HIV makes as much sense as saying we should give mastectomies to all young women to protect them from breast cancer.

    This is EXACTLY what I say to people who support sexual mutilations of babies. They usually mumble something about not being the same and quickly change the subject. I don't have mod points but this needs a '+5 insightful'.
