Bill Krozby I hope you realize that she is no longer a human. She wants to harvest your daughters brains not unlike jedis harvest foreskin. Be very wary around her!
Of course jedis harvest foreskins. There is big money in those little penis pieces.[FONT=GeorgiaProW01-Regular]Say what you will about circumcision (and I know you all have lots to say about it), but have you ever wondered what happens to the foreskins of circumcised babies after they’re snipped?
[/FONT]
[FONT=GeorgiaProW01-Regular]As the mother of two girls, I’ve never had to make a circumcision decision. Which is just as well, as I doubt my jedi grandmother would have approved of my decision, had I made one.
[/FONT]
[FONT=GeorgiaProW01-Regular]I had also never wondered about the fate of those little flaps of skin.
[/FONT]
[FONT=GeorgiaProW01-Regular]Turns out, circumcised foreskins have long and fascinating lives after they part ways with their original owners. They’re used for everything from cosmetics to scientific studies.
[/FONT]
[FONT=GeorgiaProW01-Regular]The Stir’s Christie Haskell dug deep into the largely hiddenindustry of baby foreskins. An infant’s foreskin has special cell properties, similar to those found in stem cells. Their versatility means that they can be used to cultivate skin cells.
[/FONT]
[FONT=GeorgiaProW01-Regular]Because of this, they’re not tossed out with the rest of the medical waste after a birth. Instead, hospitals sell them to companies and institutions for a wide variety of uses. Companies will pay thousands of dollars for a single foreskin.
[/FONT]
[FONT=GeorgiaProW01-Regular]Some of the strangest purposes they’re put to:
[/FONT]- Cosmetics: Foreskins are used to make high-end skin creams. The skin products contain fibroblasts grown on the foreskin and harvested from it. One foreskin can be used for decades to produce fancy face cream like the SkinMedica products hawked on Oprah.
- Skin grafts: In addition to making products for skin, a baby’s foreskin can be turned into a skin graft for a burn victim. Because the cells are extremely flexible, they’re less likely to be rejected. Currently, this technology can be lifesaving in providing a real skin “band aid†to cover an open wound while a burn victim heals. Researchers at Harvard and Tufts are working on advanced skin replacements that use human foreskins.
- Cosmetic testing: All those cruelty-free cosmetics you buy? Some of them are tested on foreskins. This yields better results, since they’re human skin. And it saves the lives of the rodents your shampoo would otherwise be tested on.
[/FONT]
[FONT=GeorgiaProW01-Regular]Clearly, there are ethical issues with circumcision: some parents consider it a religious mandate, some consider it mutilation. Most seem to be in the middle ground, making personal decisions about what they think is best for their kids.
[/FONT]
[FONT=GeorgiaProW01-Regular]If you feel strongly that circumcision is wrong, the good uses foreskins are put to after the procedure may seem like a money-making racket for hospitals. On the other hand, there’s good medical research being done with them. Once the circumcision has occurred, it’s cool that the skin is useful.
[/FONT]
[FONT=GeorgiaProW01-Regular]I’m fascinated by how little-known this is. I mentioned it to my husband over the weekend, and he was shocked to hear that baby foreskins are used in medical research. Then he realized that he works with them every day in his own research lab. He’d just never made the mental leap to connect the “human foreskin†tissue samples they get with newborn human babies.

I have looked into UPB, and it is useless. If you don't agree with that then explain your position.
Its not that I dont agree with it or do agree with it. Its that I want you to explain your position as to why UPB is bullshit before explaining my position even though I already did that in my previous post in this thread. Bring something to the table other than namecalling because it shows how little you actually know about anything you are trying to talk about. Honestly its quite sad to see someone have a philisophical discussion and ignore what others are saying while refusing to state reasons for your position. Do you know what that is called? Ignorance.
If you want us "open our minds" you must open yours. From your username it implies that you think you know everything about everything and if we just listen to you our minds will miraculously open and we will be illuminated by you. This definitly isnt going to happen when 1. you dont know what you are talking about 2. you cant back up your position when contronted with someone elses position 3. upon being called out on it you resort to the behavior of a 14 year old by calling the opposition gay. 4. On top of it all you still actually believe your philosophical conviction is so far above us all that you need not provide proof nor support for any of your arguments.
How is adolescence treating you? -

you could pull some shit off like this but my advice is be careful and if you are serious about it leave your cell phone at home as they will call the secret service to investigate (even for minor skimming they will)
if you cant figure out why to leave the phone at home this game aint for youyou could pull some shit off like this but my advice is be careful and if you are serious about it leave your cell phone at home as they will call the secret service to investigate (even for minor skimming they will)
Don't you have some cookies or magazine subscriptions you should be selling?

I am the most charismatic, intelligent, and attractive person to ever grace this web community since Totse's inception. You should all feel privileged to communicate with the legend.
It's a real shame your parents never gave you the praise you so deeply needed in your formative years. -
2015-09-25 at 7:43 PM UTC in Have any of you accomplished anything of significance?I feel like the majority of you degenerates are predestined to wander through your lives. You wake up in the morning feeling dread for the sad state in which you live. If I was ever to find myself in the state of someone like dark rodent or spectral i would stab myself in the chest. you people are more toxic and unappealing than a neck tattoo and I sincerely hope that all of you never have children. You self-indulgent losers are a disgusting example of humanity and this world would be a better place without you.
I suggest you kill yourselves immediately.

2015-09-25 at 6:02 PM UTC in Morality and LawNo faggot. Burden of proof is on you. Soph gave his reasons and posted more worthwhile philosophy in this thread than I have ever seen come from you. So how about you stop being such a little bitch and stop your bullshit about how "you have no obligation to make an actual argument against UPB" because you dont even know what UPB is. You refuse to look into the matter and because of that you have no idea what the theory actually consists of. So if you want to have a serious conversation its time for you to Open Your Mind and have an actual conversation that doesnt consist of "lol I belif dertermined. Lol moral relativism. Lol I have no obligation to study what I consider bullshit even though I dont understand it. Lol criminals dont make the decision to commit crime because there are factors out of their control in life".
People like you are what is destroying the cultivation of philosophical conversation because you dont know how to actually think philosophically. You only know how to support your current viewpoint. -

2015-09-25 at 5:57 PM UTC in leaked GUIDES sold on the deep web for sale CHEAP
believe it or not people buy these guides for $100s on betabay market and other sites…I am just offering some solid schemes written and spoon fed to you….for a little coin of course.
and im not a fucking robot bitch
So your selling stolen shitty guides that are so great they're worth $100 each. If they're so fucking great why don't you use them yourself instead of trying to sell them for ten cents on the dollar. I mean if they're so foolproof what you're making selling them for ten bucks a pop is chicken feed compared to the thousands you could make using them.
tl:dr Fuck off scammer.
