not think this 10% rate is from that at all. I do believe you are combining
more than one source. And again, these are only theories, not established
scientific facts. I had a plastic surgeon from Brazil (Dr. Wuoter Euiarte)
tell me that the most common surgery there was "virginity restoration" as a
result of the AIDS epidemic. It is a very warped and twisted world in which
we live.

spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
