    Sorry, that web site is hopelessly outdated. The only reason I kept it up is because it won me an internship when the company looked at the source code :-D Those sections are empty because I was planning on filling them out but never got around to it. My summer project is to redo the website, with an ASP.NET XML/XSLT content management system that outputs XHTML Strict, and a real domain name on a real host server -- instead of using CSS tricks to hide the banner ads on 50megs.com. However, I'm still open to critiques, etc. Nice to see that someone actually goes there ;) -Domenic Denicola- [CPUA 0x1337] MadHamster Creations "I was born human.

    Well, to the best of my knowlege, Marvinski is not that common a name. But, this isn't exactly my area of expertise either, so for all i know half the people on the west coast might be named Marvinski. And i *do* know far more thoughtless parents... - Shog9 - Aaah...

    Oooh, an anonymous post in the Soapbox. You've just quoted something that someone else said. If you've got something to say, then say it, if you don't then don't.

Look of FGM on google and you will see what I mean. My point is that we cannot say that circumcising boy is OK, and then saying female circumcision is horrible. They are both equally horrible, but what's worse is that male circumcision occurs in "civilized" countries.
