There are many more cultural problems that are much more important.
Amen! I don't get what it is with people and their "save the foreskin" movement either. CALM DOWN PEOPLE! IT'S NOT YOUR FORESKIN!!!

No, its not my foreskin, but its the American culture of genital mutilation that led my ignorant, conformist mother to submit her newborn son to be cut. Changing the culture will hopefully save many boys that fate.

People that get their panties in a wad over circumcision need to get a life. It's really not that big of a deal.

People that claim it is mutilation or torture etc.. have serious issues.

Male infant circumcision:
No consent on the part of the victim. Check.
Tied down. Check.
No anesthesia. Check.
Cutting of the genitals. Check.

Female gential mutilation:
No consent on the part of the victim. Check.
Tied down. Check.
No anesthesia. Check.
Cutting of the genitals. Check.

One is celebrated with its victims belittled, the other is viewed with sympathy with loathing for the perps. Only in America.

By that line of reasoning a bus is an airplane:

Bus
Carries several passengers long distances at once. Check.
Driven by a professional licensed to do such. Check.
Carries lots of luggage. Check.

Airplane.
Carries several passengers long distances at once. Check.
Driven by a professional licensed to do such. Check.
Carries lots of luggage. Check.

Wow, BUS = AIRPLANE!

How about we talk about the major difference: Male circumcision can prevent lots of problems, such as what the OP references, and also leaves the penis clean. The male sexual organs still function afterwards. Femal circumcision renders the female genitals useless for pleasure. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Male circumcision

Hey, man, if you, as an adult, want to get your dick cut up, that's fine by me, but don't force it on the kids.

All the "diseases" and "problems" of the foreskin are greatly exagerated. Only about 15% of the world's entire population is cut, despite popular American belief. Most men go through their entire lives without a single medical penis problem. My son is 16 months old and has never had an infection or UTI, doesn't have cancer, doesn't have AIDS, and only has phimosis because he's 16 months old.

how predictable. you repeat the same lines in EVERY circumcision thread.

the OP is getting circumsized for viable reasons. don't rag on him.

Of course I repeat the same thing, because what I'm saying is true. I almost always link to back up what I'm saying and I even find mainstream news articles so people like you can't attack the messenger.

I disagreed with the OP's decision, but I didn't rag on him about it. He's an adult and is free to make his own decisions. The people I was ragging on were those who would perpetuate unnecessary surgery on newborns.

riiiiiiiiiight. show me a "mainstream news article" that says circumcision is bad and i'll counter it just the same. :roll:

you were ragging on the OP. i mean how else do you read, if "want to get your dick cut up"? it's obvious you were dissing him.

 
Can't you guys dig up the 1000 other threads where you pointlessly fight about this topic? This has nothing to do with the OP's problem so stop cvnting up this thread with pointless fighting.

Hey, man, don't tell me how to raise my kids.

If/when I do have a son, he won't have phimosis at 16 months old. I think it is terrible that you LET your son suffer from phimosis and risk problems when there are safe medical techniques that will stop it. You are the abuser, not I.


 
I am 100% against cirumcision of baby's. From what research i did having it done to a baby causes a LOT of pain and is not needed.



but to the OP be brave man! i feel for you! have a beer on me heh.

CNN: Pain is bad
CBC: Losing the penis and being turned into a girl is bad.
CMAJ: Death is bad.
CMAJ: Stop doing routine infant circumcisions.
Fredericksburg.com: No need to circumcise.

I hope Canadian Medical Journals are legitimate enough for you.

you were ragging on the OP. i mean how else do you read, if "want to get your dick cut up"? it's obvious you were dissing him.

That was in reply to "pinion9", not the OP. The OP is "TitanDiddly."

i don't have time to play your game today. we have played dueling banjo articles with this before.

there is growing evidence that uncircumcized penises harbor the AIDS virus.
you wanna dispute that one?

"A South African controlled clinical trial published in 2005 found that circumcision reduces the transmission of HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) by 61%."

There are MANY folks who are uncut and don't have those diseases either. And I think it's terrible that YOU think the only way for your son to have a "safe" way of growing up is to get his penis cut. I'm going to fight tooth and nail to keep my son's penis completely intact (ie, avoid any sort of multilation).
 
these arguments are a waste of time. you can shoot down every argument in favor of ric and people will still insist it's a medically justified procedure. :disgust:
