tntgoodwin Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 What motivated you to ask this question? The people that I know IRL that are most opposed to circumcision are also the most pro-choice. I wanted to see if this was true in a larger sample size. Boy did this thread grow fast. You folks do realize that if you aren't willing to discuss things without getting "all stirred up" or whatever, that these threads are completely voluntary to post in... Thank you, those of you who voted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6packofun Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) I don't get what it could be, although I have this image in my head of someone rubbing their hands together with glee over the thought of someone answering, "I approve of mutilating babies before birth OR after birth!" and then watching the fallout. Ick. (And not gonna happen.

Spy Car Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 It can be chicken, goose, or pork fat. They might have chicken schmaltz in a kosher deli (but probably not the pork variety). I've found pork schmalz in a German deli/butcher shop. I wouldn't buy it though because it's not hard to do yourself. You think it's "probable" they wouldn't have "pork schmaltz" at kosher deli? :D Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'm pro choice and anti circumcision which kinda seems odd if I think too hard about it. Then again there are pro life people who are also pro death penalty and that seems odd to me.

clarkacademy Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Rubbery? I've never had beef get rubbery. How do you usually do it? I am so not the cook YET! I have made it once put beef cubes in water with two bullion cubes boil for I don't remember how long now add noodles store bought cause WOW the mess of homemade scares me. Maybe not rubbery exactly but hard I guess just not good in my opinion. I have a wonderful mother who cooks up a storm and is awesome. Sadly as a child I never wanted to listen now she is not in the best of health anymore and on an oxygen tank so cooking lessons are just not in the cards anymore for me. My two grandmas were wonderful too but again I was a difficult teen so I never took the time now they are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hey totally different but since we are hijacking and all, Does anyone have a really good way to make beef and noodles so the beef doesn't get all rubbery I guess? Ironically, you would probably do better with a tougher (and cheaper) cut, a working muscle like "Chuck" that has a lot of collagen that will break down and become tender if you cook it long enough with wet heat. Or you could move the other way and get a filet of tenderloin and keep the cooking time short. An in-between cut can get rubbery. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I did automatically think there could be a correlation due to, as was mentioned, pro-life and anti-circ both being anti-hurting babies. As for me, I consider circumcision the biggest mistake of my life. I don't like to think about abortion because while I'm mostly opposed to it, I'm sure I would have one (and lots of therapy) if carrying the child to term meant I would die - though I would quickly give my life for any child of mine who was already born. That is where my brain starts to smoke from confusion. I like kilts and I love chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked as a cook in an assisted living facility that had a large Jewish population. I had one lady freak if you handed her something that wasn't kosher, but then she freaked if you handed her a hamburger without cheese. I think she just had nothing better to do though.

LauraGB Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 That is technically true, but if my gram's recipe for homemade lard uses beef, pork and chicken fat, I'm going to go with family tradition on this one. Too true. My grandmother had a large coffee can next to her oven into which she would pour ALL left over grease. And then she would scoop some out and use it to cook the next meal. Gag. But, it was always called "lard" and she was a darn fine cook, and no one died. :tongue_smilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3peasinWa Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Yes, both are 2 different hot topics. I'm just not sure where the OP is coming from & how he came to this question... There are all types of pro-life people, pro-choice people, anti-circ people, pro-circ people, etc. One doesnt' correlate with the other. If someone is pro-life, I would not then assume they're pro-circ. If someone is pro-choice, I would not then jump to assume they are anti-circ. If one is a Christian, some assume they're pro-life - but that is NOT always the case. If one is not a Christian, some assume they're pro-choice, but that is NOT always the case. If one practices Attachment Parenting, some assume then, they are anti-circ, but that is NOT always the case. If one practices mainstream western parenting, some assume they circ, but that is NOT always the case. When I was younger & naive, I used to lump people together in my own cookie cutter molds. Thankfully , I've matured (& still maturing) & learn there are all types of beliefs out there on many various topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in Florida Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 No see, if I'm going to be honest, I just do not get the kilt thing at all. I much prefer a pair of cargo shorts on a guy over a skirt-by-another-name :001_smile:. I do love chocolate, though.... I totally agree about the kilt thing. I like seeing my dh in board shorts, he has nice knees, but I am not really interested in seeing him in a kilt. By the way, I have been trying out pesto recipes, my garden has produced 3 (thats all 3) tomatoes, but a bumper load of basil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support a person's right to choose what to do, until and unless it takes another human life; I believe life begins at conception, so I believe that abortion is taking a human life.
