13 year old son circumcised and 5 days later he is in a massive amount of pain is this normal?
Of course it is normal. His penis has been grossly mutilated, and you ask if he should be in pain? Please tell me what planet you live on where you do not expect such a thing. What you need to know about circumcision is that is it a terrible mutilation of the human body. No civilised person could ever allow this to happen to someone they claim to love. Circumcision is the removal of the (male) foreskin. Uncut or uncircumcised refer to the natural state of the penis where the whole of the sexual organs are intact. About 90% of the males on Earth are no circumcised, but it is still practiced as a routine in Israel and in the USA. Circumcision of a boy if as painful as circumcision of a girl - that means cutting of the clitoris and labia of a girl! I cannot imagine why anyone would want to inflict significant injury and permanent damage on a child or any other human. It is as good to be circumcised as it is to cut off your eyelid so your eye no longer has the protection and lubrication it was designed to have. A male was born with a foreskin for a reason, and it was not so it could be cut off! Circumcised penises are no cleaner than a natural one - any one who says so obviously has no idea what they are talking about. It is said "World Health Organization and the Center [American spelling] of Disease Control want all males circumcised", but that is not true. The benefits of a foreskin far outweigh the benefits of circumcision. Only a fool would want to inflict such terrible carnage on another human. WHO and CDC do support circumcision, but only because American doctors and pharmaceutical companies make huge dollars out of the cruel process. They are willing to sacrifice human health and wellbeing on the altar of monetary greed. Circumcision of the male is just as barbaric and cruel as circumcision of the female. Most people would not even consider inflicting such damage on a girl, yet some still consider it an acceptable practice to perform on a boy. I honestly cannot believe that you would so such a cruel thing to someone who you claim to love.
How can an Asian man get together with a Caucasian woman? Are Caucasian women into Asian men? If they are, what's the best way to approach one?
As a 24 yo Turkish-Russian mixed girl who had 3 asian boyfriend, i will share my opinions.First : self-confidence.most of the korean and japanese guys are very shy to approach a girl, also they think “this girl would never look at me/i'm not enough for her..etc.” just dont. Approach her and start a normal conversation (not in a creepy way). And dont compliment about her physical features too much.The other nice point is; a good sense of humour. My korean boyfriend was making clever jokes and making people laugh around him all the time without trying hard but he never showed any interests so i took the first step and we had a great time together.Don't act like a friend at first. If you wanna get her, just dont let her think you “just as a friend”. Be honest with your intentions. Once you get friendzoned,it's impossible to get out of it.Don't act extremely cute. Yes. some asian guys do that too much. Maybe it's a cultural thing but it only attracts 12–15 years old girls in my opinion.Don't be obsessed with weight and height. Also dont ask it girls whom you met for a few days. It's common in asia but not very usual for my culture.Be aware of some creepy girls and stay away from them. “Anime/manga/kpop/kdrama..” they all have a big effect on teenagers and they're only looking for your race. So if you want something like ons or fwb it's okay and easy to get one of them. But be careful and go for the +18 girls.Don't play the “hard to get”. It's tiring and annoying. Everyone can be replaced if you're just flirting, so it won't take long to go for another guy and leave the “hard to get” one.Language barrier. Even if you're a total package, it will be useless without using the same language. When i was in japan, i fell for a japanese guy who was kind, caring and had a perfect british accent. He could express himself really well and made me admire him everytime.Last one is caring and romantic side. I think this is something i've barely seen in moscow and istanbul so asian guys hit me hard at that point. They're caring, thoughtful and romantic naturally.All of those are my opinions and experiences. I don't wanna generalize every asian people. Everyone is different so these are my biased thoughts. Thanks for reading.
How did Palestinians manage to be in top 10 global ranking for obesity per a Quora answer to another question that contains a link to an undated quote from a pay-walled news website?
As User-12959592352612064744 has already pointed out in her answer:The data is almost 20 years old, well preceding the 10 year blockade of Gaza.Food insecurity and obesity are not mutually incompatible. In fact low food security can even be positively correlated with obesity.[1]According to "Overweight and Obesity among Palestinian Adults: Analyses of the Anthropometric Data from the First National Health and Nutrition Survey (1999-2000)" (Abdeen et al, Al Quds University, 2012)[2], obesity levels in Palestine are partly linked to:changing food consumption patterns and dietary habits, including a shift from traditional foods to more westernized foods;lack of regular physical exercise, especially among women (partly attributable to limited availability of exercising facilities for girls and women); andlack of awareness of the risks of obesity combined with the lack of cultural taboos against fatness.Despite the high prevalence of obesity, Palestine also suffers from malnutrition. For example, between 2000 and 2010, stunting of children under 5 increased by 40%[3](though the level is still not very high by MENA standards).Footnotes[1] The Food-Insecurity Obesity Paradox: A Resource Scarcity Hypothesis[2] Overweight and Obesity among Palestinian Adults: Analyses of the Anthropometric Data from the First National Health and Nutrition Survey (1999-2000)[3] http://www.pcbs.gov.ps/Downloads...
