  • unbelievable!!!!
  • I would have never believed such a thing unless I have seen it. I saw the video yet I still can't believe it, I can't explain it. I guess I'll have to settle with the fact that this is how things are.

    • Hadn't seen that before.

      Heck, in our culture they cut of the part of the boys penis without anesthesia. I think I'd rather be thrown off the roof, thank you. :-0
  • What the heck??? I'm dumb founded. In some cultures, women are also circumcised without anesthesia at like 10 years old. OUCH.
  • Ahhhh...now we know what Michael Jackson was thinking.
