<p>Oh my god, a moderator needs to end this thread</p>
<p>I agree… This is getting out of hand…</p>
<p>Hold up… this might be the second greatest argument in CC history.</p>
<p>What is the greatest argument then?</p>
<p>Science vs. Religion, Who wins?</p>
<p>mifune vs. MosbyMarion.</p>
<p>A classic.</p>
<p>Dang I didn’t know it was going to get this rough…I didn’t know a stupid like page from FB could make this happen. 0_0</p>
<p>Women are really angry… You know, thousands of years of subjugation and oppression will do that to you.</p>
<p>@MIT: Idk if this the second best one. Romani was involved in some pretty epic ones.</p>
<p>Yeah… true.</p>
<p>Alright… this is bumped down to at least top 10.</p>

<p>Male circumcision has health benefits and hurts for a few minutes?
Female circumcision is basically a form of torture. Get your facts straight before you start trying to be funny.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What benefits…? Being uncircumcised is virtually the same.</p>
<p>But obviously it’s nothing compared to female circumcision.</p>
<p>This is from yahoo answers but they sources say they are veterens and it doesn’t seem like the type of thing that someone would just make up:
"During my first tour in Iraq, my IBA (Individual Body Armor) weighed in at a little more than 80 pounds. Add to that the weapon, helmet, assault pack with various things, and water and you start getting into a really heavy load.</p>
<p>I trimmed down the weight I carried during my second tour, but it was still heavy.</p>
<p>Even with the physical fitness program that is prevalent in the ground forces, the kind of weight that the troops on the ground carries hinders that ability of those troops to perform. With lighter weight body armor, you give up some protection. However, mobility is protection.</p>
<p>I’m sure that I could go on, but you get my point.

<p>"It depends on the type of mission…
I carried about 90 lbs of stuff in Afghanistan (with the 82nd Airborne) mainly in my rucksack and that was dropped off at a patrol base (unless we flew in) if we were close enough to the objective or were engaged by the enemy. Normally we carried assault packs which weighted about 50 lbs with all the ammo, batteries, water and extras we needed to fight and survive. Oh yeah, plus the body armor, web vest and helmet’s weight was a constant and came in around 40 lbs of extra fun. Add in the weather: extreme cold or heat and altitude to boot and some you have to fight…the is a weight you can’t see.

<p>"A lot of it depends on the mission, the expected duration and if you are expecting heavy fire or just a scouting mission.</p>
<p>We generally have at least 50 pounds of gear in the pack not including the jacket and weapons.</p>
<p>In Iraq it was miserable because we had to carry a lot of water also and all that armor and clothes in the desert heat was miserable. We just wanted to strip it off at the first chance we got.</p>
<p>Generally we bring ammo, some MRE’s, a field first aid kit, water, 2 way radio and any personal good luck items like pictures of family or religious items.</p>
<p>I’d say with all the gear on the difference in bare weight is about 80 pounds carried."</p>
<p>I don’t know what army you’re talking about where you don’t march around every day carrying heavy things.</p>
<p>@quomodo Males don’t have sexual organs to be circumcised. Get your facts gay before you try to be serious.</p>
