1. I am not having my pee pee lopped off for ANYTHING
(08.16.06)
2. LISTEN 2 HIM
majd ,   Lebanon   (08.16.06)
This man is the best president the US ever elected, just compare with the current one and you will understand lol ! If he says something he knows what he is talking about. And to no 1 i say your pee pee will not loop off in case u get a circumcision but in case u get an STD it will :P
3. AIDS Prevention and Circumcision
Rachel ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.16.06)
No. 1. No one cares if you whack anything off yourself or not, your partner will care when you give her cervical cancer, though. Maybe a circumcision would mean the dead skin between your legs can meet the dead brain between your ears and have a party.
4. Bill has an affinity with anything involving sex! and # 1...
Talula ,   Israel   (08.16.06)
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! that's too funny!
5. Did he became a Chassid?????
Harissa ,   Argentina   (08.16.06)
6. Oh really bill ?
James ,   New Zealand   (08.16.06)
Hasn't wee willy heard, that if you keep it in your trousers that will also prevent aids. It seems he likes to talk about it, but then talk has always been cheap!
7. Circumcision - the answer to Aids
Jamie Cartwight ,   Birmingham - UK   (08.16.06)
I look forward to reading the scientific research behind the role of circumcision in the reduced transmission of HIV. This type of precautionary step, in my opinion, would not work in more developed countries as our choice as a male not to wear protection predisposes us to the risk of sexually transmitted infection. However, the circumcision of African babies in regions benefiting from vaccine programmes where trained professionals treat them, maybe an easy route to introduce and test this new barrier to infection.
8. Muslims and Jews should be friends !
Ali ,   lebanon   (08.16.06)
At least both of them agree that thier d##ks must be chopped !
9. Healthy
Tsedek ,   Israel   (08.16.06)
and better looking :) Anyway: it has already been proven many times circumcision helps in the prevention of aids. Only there are always opposition groups that like to contradict everything and by that cast doubt. Tse.
10. ?Female circumcision
Laura ,   London   (08.16.06)
I assume Dick Clinton is talking about male circumcision - I wonder what the evidence is for STD transmission with or without the foreskin and how that data is collated. Female circumcision on the other is to say the least a health hazard leading to potentially fatal complications, such as hemorrhage, infection and shock Use of the same instrument on several girls without sterilization can cause the spread of HIV. oops I meant Bill Clinton of course
11. What the heck?
Geo T ,   Hamilton Ontario   (08.16.06)
When did circumcision become a method of preventing aids? What an idiotic suggestion! This is the same as telling people to sew their mouth's shut to prevent obesity! I suggest soap. Yeah, soap! Inexpensive.......send it to Africa.......teach them how to use it if need be. Sheesh! Gotta run...I need to clip my nails before leaving for work. Oh wait!? I'll just amputate my feet!
12. to number 10
majd ,   Lebanon   (08.16.06)
r u crazy or what ? BILL wasnt reffering to female circumcison of course... and yes the male one is cleaner, healthier and better looking while the female one is only practiced is some old cultures and not that spread anymore. Anyhow no matter what bill clinton might have done in his private life that doesnt make him a jerk that doesnt know what he is talking about ! I bet if ur partner gives u an STD that could have prevented u wouldnt mind if he chopped a peace ;)
13. Castration -the answer to Clinton.
Schmuckster ,   Putzville   (08.16.06)
Clinton's deformed dinky-winky made a laughing stock of the American presidency. Castration is the only cure for his obsession.
14. To #1: My pee pee works better lopped off. Try it.
Toolmaster ,   Ashdod   (08.16.06)
Much more sensitive without the extra layer of padding. Why settle for a firecracker when you can have a stick of dynamite? I know a good mohel who will do you cheap.
15. just do it with a virgin
Drake Selah ,   Georgia, USA   (08.16.06)
You be ok, just do it with a virgin like they do in Africa.
16. Foolishness: Arafat Had A Circumcision and Died of AIDS
H ,   Jerualem   (08.16.06)
Circuncision is NOT the answer to AIDS. It's immoral acts between men and men, men and women who is not the wife, and "gays".
17. WHAT DOES MONICA SAY ABOUT THAT ?
fadi ,   lebanon   (08.16.06)
18. Foreskin
Oliver ,   Belgium   (08.16.06)
it seems that some microbs are protected by the foreskin and therefore can proliferate there remove the foreskin and they lose their protected area always heard circumcision was a good thing for protecting against other MSTs
19. #16 And Clinton, What a Tzaddik.....
H ,   Jerusalem   (08.16.06)
20. AIDS - CLINTON
Miri ,   NY, NY   (08.16.06)
Another great contribution to the wrold from Bill.
21. Clinton-AIDS-Circumcison "cure"
Bettie Malofie ,   Springfield, Canada   (08.16.06)
The rate of socalled AIDS is much lower in those Moslem countries where the FEMALES have undergone genital cutting, not just the men. I say let's start a campaign to start cutting all females down there. To prevent "AIDS", anything goes.
22. oh mr. bill
hanina ,   usa   (08.16.06)
Hey bill, stop talking about your penis again.
23. pee pee lopped off
dpb ,   Santa Cruz, Ca, USA   (08.16.06)
if a pee pee is so short that the foreskin represents a signifant additition to length another, more serious, problem exists. In fact the foreskin plays no roll in the length of the penis when in full erection. I believe a case has been made for a lack of sensitivity in the head of the penis occuring after circumcision. that, however might allow a man to preform longer and be a more attractive attribute to most women than the existance of a foreskin, especially if the AIDS connection is supported and publicised. Laidies, i have been circumcised.....
24. more words of wisdom from B. Jefferson Clinton
Monica Lewinsky ,   USA   (08.16.06)
Bill told me that eating wasn't cheating. I think Hillary should bobitize Bill, my experience with him left a bad taste in my mouth!
25. Hillary's got the cure: Stay away from Bill! <eof>
John ,   Raleigh   (08.16.06)
Chop chop
26. Genital mania
Susan ,   WAshingtonDC/USA   (08.16.06)
I had to say something on this: #2 you are full of #2. Clinton was an embarassment not only to the country but to the male population in general. #13 you are right on. If Clinton had kept it in his pants maybe he would have had more time for other things like acting more like a president. 9 out of 10 women agree they'd rather take a vibrator than Bill. Sorry Bill. Truth hurts.
27. Someone is confused... VERY confused
Rickshaw ,   San Diego, CA   (08.16.06)
Wow. There is NO valid scientific link between circumcision and STD's. Google it, do the research for yourself, or see this: http://www.cirp.org/library/disease/STD/ At the VERY LEAST, leave your newborn children intact, coach them during their childhood, and let them decide on their own when they become sexually active.
28. IT PREVENTS THREE MEDICAL CONDITIONS
MOSHE ,   USA   (08.16.06)
THE BRIT PREVENTS : 1 ) PHIMOSIS ( TIGHTENING OF THE FORESKIN WHICH CANNOT BE DRAWN BACK ) 2 ) BALANITIS ( INFLAMMATION ) 3 ) CANCER ( NO CASES REPORTED WHEREAS AS SIGNIFICANT OCCURRENCE EXISTS FOR THE UNCIRCUMSISED ) 4 ) MAKING A LOW INCIDENCE OF CERVICAL CANCER IN JEWISH WOMEN, AND NOW ACCORDING TO " THE JEWISH CONNECTION " BY M. HIRSH GOLDBERG ( A BANTAM BOOK, STEIN & DAY PUBLISHERS, DECEMBER 1977, PAGE 185 ) MOSHE
29. Do or die
(08.16.06)
Oh yes you will!
30. All but one are very confused
Gary (intact) ,   New York, USA   (08.16.06)
Thanks for the reference link. Once again religous tradition seems to be trumping empirical evidence.
