In a ritual that would terrify most mothers, Indian villagers have cheered as screaming babies were dropped from a 50-foot temple tower.

For 500 years, worshippers at a Muslim shrine in western India have continued the tradition -- a rite considered to bring good health and good luck to the children.

The infants land and bounce on a bed-sheet held taut by men 50 feet below, and are quickly passed through the crowd to their mothers.

Should a government step in to stop something like this?

No, they should mind their own business.

Maybe he'll send John Hagee over there, and the babies can bounce off of his stomach.....

Unlikely, as babies are quite resilient. But yes, even then. I would not even prosecute.

Can't be any more traumatic than lopping the tips of their penises off, without consent or anesthetic.

See Americans don't have any serious rituals.

I wish I grew up in the African Tribe that required me to have to do someting to become a man first.

Modern Primitivism is something more people should think about practicing because it teaches the child respect and restraint.

Something american children know little about.

I also believe that the goverment should stay out of how I discipline my child but we all know that will never happen, so I have to talk patiently to a child that if it were me my Father would be Beating into the floor. Children raised today will be giving birth to Sociopaths Tomorrow because they will not know respect or fear punishment from thier actions.

You mean a middle-Eastern government? The ones who encourage suicide bombings and take 9-year-olds into their own militias? Yeah, they're pretty well-known for bettering their people.

Drop the afterbirth...after extracting the stem cells of course... and leave the babies alone... no wonder there are so many nuts over there... they all got their brains scrambled.

So, all Muslims are now also deranged, evil abusers of children (as well as terrorists and damned foreigners), because in one place a small number have a weird custom of dropping kids off a roof into a blanket?

Good thing that Muslims dont equate all westerners as imperialistic, hedonistic worshippers of Mammon and supporters of their oppression because a few in the west could be described as such.

Well thats handy Butch, them damned Hindus being involved too?

Always confuses things as to which lot are the evil deranged child abusing terrorist damned foreigners, when they all look the same, eh? Much easier when we dont need to distinguish and can blame the whole lot at once.

Of course, that still leaves Sikhs, but then theyre more or less a mix of Muslim and Hindu, so they must be twice as evil deranged child abusing terrorist damned foreigners.

And way to go by missing the entire message of my previous post too.
