"It was the poster that you were replying to. I didn't see the quotes."
No problem.
Barbarism? Gee, tell that to all they guys in Viet Nam that went berserk with itching and infections until they went out to a hospital ship for circumcision. Their relief after getting cleaned up was immense. But I suppose having a skin cancer removed is barbarism to someone, somewhere.
No similarities implied excpet these are choices. I am against abortion but for circumcision.
What happened during the third decade, Dain? Just curious. LOL!
Keep in mind they also see nothing wrong with homosexuality and abortion.
So you are in favor of the United Nations making laws for all countries, and enforcing those laws? If not the United Nations, then who?
I don't believe in relativism when it's about people getting hurt or killed.
I'm a father.
I've seen both circumcisions and ear piercings.
The baby never remembers it. And when its healed, its done.
Ears are pierced on woman who remember it. And its always open for infection.
Does a foreskin serve any IMPORTANT biological function?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>YES!
You ain't lived until you've experienced a Spanish collar (paraphimosis).
You can't ever miss what you never had.
Since 80% of U.S. men have been circumcised, I expect that 8 out of ten replies here will be for it.
What gives you the right to remove this choice from me to my sons or from my mother to me?
Seems to me like you are attempting to remove everyones choice in the matter and install your own choice.
If you are against it, I have zero problem with that. Do not have one done yourself and do not have it done on your boys. You have ZERO right to inflict your position on me or my rights as a father. Forcing others to be against it also is what I call stepping over the line.
Women and minorities, they always have it worse.
"So" she said coyly, "Yor're not American Are You?"
Please explain to me what are the advantages of a foreskin..oh and include the appendix as well.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The appendix has absolutely nothing to do with it, file it under the straw man category, non-sequitor, whatever. As for the foreskin, any male who is un-circumcised is well aware that there is no health problem associated with it unless someone is too slovenly to clean himself, I could as easily claim that the toes should be cut off because some people don't properly clean between them.
Also, any uncircumcised male is well aware that his glans is far too sensitive to be allowed to rub against cloth, ergo circumcised males must have a loss of sensitivity or they could not bear walking around with the unprotected tip rubbing against clothing, if you are circumcised at birth you simply have no way of knowing about what you have lost, the purpose of the foreskin is to protect the tip of the penis for the 99 plus percent of the time when there is no sexual activity going on. Circumcision is a practice based in WILLFUL ignorance. It makes every bit as much sense as draining a person's blood to cure illness, I don't see that being done much lately.
I ask once again, how can people claim to believe in a perfect creator and at the same time claim that all his little boys are born with a defect that he commands should be corrected by PAINFUL surgery on an infant or at any other age? This truly is barbaric!
