Well, demonizing them doesn't help. Most people are willing to talk solutions, not a lot of people like being insulted. For example, I've had lots of discussions with climate skeptics about nuclear power and I can usually get them

I can still change my mind with a strong belief, strongly held, it's just much more difficult. For example, one strongly held strong belief that I have is that the speed of light is the maximum speed of matter. So when CERN publishes a

This is one of those topics where people have extremely strong opinions, yet the vast majority of people affected by this practice (circumcised males) have no opinion or even a favorable opinion of their circumcision.

Should we also ban the piercing of infant ears?
