Circumcision on Decline in Africa Due to Global Warming

[chessplayer]

Maybe the finest example of Global Warming Derangement Syndrome to date is the claim by an Australian mammologist and paleontologist that climate change has reduced circumcision rates in Africa.

[pepsionice]

If you read the entire article....the older dudes are getting the younger wives. I personally don’t see an issue with this and wish this of stuff would happen in the states. Its good to see that we have experts on this kinda stuff.

[Chickensoup]

What about the female circumcision, better understood as female genital mutilation? The weather affect that??

[Proverbs 3-5]

If, according this his mammologist/paleontologist, the low circumcision rate is due to “climate change” because of the drought not letting the young fellers accumulate enough goodies to get married to their intended chickies then I guess climate change/gorebal warming has never happened throughout history...

[coon2000]

I have stopped pooping due to global warming.

[stevem]

I guess this makes as much sense as anything else connected with global warming.

[Rocky]

Maybe Algore can start exchanging “circumcision credits”.

[Sapper26]

I was half expecting that it was a fear of sunburn.

[EQAndyBuzz]

It’s Manbearpig!!!

[tlb]

The problem has been aggravated by a lack of funding for the procedure. There were circumcision subsidies but they were sliced.

[sportutegrl]

The Samburu circumcise their youths in grand ceremonies, which are held every seven years or so, when enough cattle and other foods have accumulated to support such celebrations. Circumcision represents a transition to manhood, and until a youth has passed it he can't marry. But it's been 14 years since a circumcision ceremony has been held here. There are now 40,000 uncircumcised young men, some in their late 20s, waiting their turn. All of the eligible young women, tired of waiting, have married older men (multiple wives are allowed), so there are no wives for the new initiates.

This is more the result of polygamy and the 'alpha' males preventing the younger men from getting wives so the alpha males can have multiple wives. I think polygamy is one of the worst evils inflicted on a people.

When is the grand opening of Algore’s Foreskin National Bank?

[Joe 6-pack]

This actually makes perfect sense...who wants to wear a turtleneck in warmer weather?

[BarHopper]

Where will they put their gumm during a sand storm?

[horse_doc]

when enough cattle and other foods have accumulated to support such celebrations.

On one hand, I can understand wanting to have a good steak dinner, before getting my package lopped off.

On the other hand, a culture too stupid to adapt to a drought, probably isn't long for this world, anyway.

[Comus]

My hair is turning gray due to global warming.

“Apparently American food aid is all that’s keeping many in the region from starvation.”
He’ll get bounced out of the loon club for say this.

[xrmusn]

Like they say, don’t eat the cold cuts at a circumcision.
Of course if they do enough at one time it MAY help put a dent in the food shortage.

[ricks_place]

Not a sparrow falls from a tree nor a Samburu remains uncircumcised that is not the fault of Global Warming, George Bush, or both.

[steelyourfaith]

AGW™ ping

[wildbill]

When I saw the heading on this it brought back a memory.

Seems like I read somewhere once that some tribes who practice ritual adolescent circumcision bury the initiates in sand after the procedure to staunch the bleeding.

Perhaps Global Warming has heated the sand to temperatures too hot for bearable healing?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

DOOMAGE!

wait a minute, what happened to the global cooling of the mid 1970’s?????

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“...wait a minute, what happened to the global cooling of the mid 1970’s?”

Algore was busy flunking out of Vanderbuilt University (Law) back then. *SMIRK*

Obviously no one could figure out how to grift a buck off of “Global Cooling” in the ‘70’s. ;)

[television is just wrong]

well there certainly are a heck of a lot of people getting rich off global warming since algore made it an in thing to worry about.

WTF? ping.

Re: My first thought as I misread as Circumcision Rise in Africa Due to Global Warming

Now that... is one damn sharp wind!

I have stopped pooping due to global warming.

You have to stop flatulating as well or you're no better than the rest of us.

Be warned: if you hold it in, you could spontaneously combust if exposed to open flame. This will likely be Al Gore's fate.

Well, he IS one of the biggies wienies in politics, so maybe so.

I wish we had global warming when I was born.

Wow, I’d never have thought that Global Warming could cause this.

I haven’t heard anything from algore since they found tree stumps in the arctic.

"Yes, it's all due to Global Warming. Let me explain this as simply as I can:

RE: "I haven’t heard anything from algore since they found tree stumps in the arctic."

AL GORE is a stump himself, but I don't really think it's OVER yet. Matt Lauer referred to Al Gore on national TV (on Monday?) as (barf) 'one of the world's great scientific minds' or some such, then, in another snippet, I heard a nameless 'announcer-type', in his best (patronizing) 'PSA' voice, say that CO2 was the 'cause of global warming'. (No, NOT a 'result of', nor a 'possible' cause, nor a 'contributing' cause, but THE cause!)

This week, I am going to go buy up all the Kool-aid stock I lay my hands upon because, without a doubt, there is STILL a HUGE demand.

It appears, given the 'help' of the media, it is going to be 'a long cold Winter' before the general public comes to the obvious conclusion that the ex-vice-prevaricator is NOT a scientist, and perhaps longer still until they tumble to the fact that he, maligning the name of 'climate science', is puttin' out nothing but total 'horse poop'.

[Lancey Howard]

“Global warming” hoax BUMP!

[Lady Jag]

Huge scientific mind?

[Seadog Bytes]

Sadly, 'Journalist' Matt Lauer evidently missed this article during his 'extensive research' on Algore...

“For all of Gore’s later fascination with science and technology, he often struggled academically in those subjects. The political champion of the natural world received that sophomore D in Natural Sciences 6 (Man’s Place in Nature) and then got a C-plus in Natural Sciences 118 his senior year. The self-proclaimed inventor of the Internet avoided all courses in mathematics and logic throughout college...”

I feel bad for Gore that he sucked at college, bad things happen to good people. But the LYING, his huge ridiculous claims, infuriates me.

[Seadog Bytes]

RE: "I feel bad for Gore that he sucked at college..."

You're WAY more charitable than I am on that subject.   I think Gore is just an opportunist.

What 'infuriates' me is his apparent reliance upon the 'Goebbels Method' (later popularized by the Clintons)...

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.   The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.   It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”--Joseph Goebbels

to 'sell' his particular pile of bovine excretement, and the apparent willingness of the Kool-aid drinking public to suck it up as gospel. 

[Seadog Bytes]

bovine excretement = bovine excrement

(Apparently... one must run the spell checker BEFORE posting. Go figure.)

And in the US, beer drinking is UP due to global warming. When will this horror end?

[Lady Jag]

Goebbels? I thought it was Lenin and later Hitler.

You can see in Gore’s face he is a long suffering man. I can feel sorry for someone I would fight against.
