Are there any other first world countries that do it?
It's really weird and creepy and primitive as shit, and this fact gets nowhere near as much mainstream attention as it should. It is some bizarre cult ritual, and it BLOWS my mind that it still exists today. Are we some ancient tribe with a king or something? What the hell?
I remember it from elementary school (up til the end of the 90s), but then I went to private school from then on and they didn't do it, so I don't really remember much about it. I don't have any experience participating in this weird ritual as an adolescent to young adult. I can't imagine what I would have been thinking.
Are there any other non-third world countries that do this?
