Circumcision declared "An act of violence"

The last thing you would want to hear during a circumcision operation is:

I only met one man, somewhere around 1992, for whom this was a problem. He would expound greatly on the unfair, barbaric, humiliating practice. He referred to it by a book title, The Unkindest Cut Of All.

A few years ago this guy committed suicide, drug overdose.

I guess this was an unsolved life long anger issue. Or, he had other problems and he was trying desperately to find a cause.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

worldwide, one in four men is cirumsised; relative to that statistic, every 3rd out of 4 men should have excruciating pain and other problems. i dont think that's the case.

Um, no.

That works out to 6% of the total male population, given your 25/75 ratio.

uhm, no. if ever 4th guy is circumsised, shouldnt the other three of the same four men have the problems i mentioned!?

was a bit unclear maybe, i'll give you some slack, since u're obviously missing parts..

as i said, showers help with hygiene.. and those "complications" that you speak off are very rare. there's simply NO need for it!

Phimosis is the result of repeated foreskin infections such as balanitis. It is linked to neglected hygiene

this article states that it's happening with 1% of un-circumsised males..

so you could save 99 penises out of a 100 from getting mutilated, unwillingly..

there are so many bible-thumpers around here, god here, bla-bla there, if your god is so wise, why wasnt he smart enough that your cock would appear "perfect" as it is and you didnt have the feeling you'd have to fuck around with his creation!?

guess what, he got it right the first time around, you're just a bunch of bigots..

12% of women will get breast cancer and 3% will die of it. Following the "health" logic, all girls should have their breasts removed before puberty - they are redundant; formula will work for feeding infants.

You are susceptible to testicular cancer. Why don't you volunteer to be castrated?

scientists say it may come from tight clothing and especially wearing bras; i think it should be mandatory to run around nekkid on hot summer days for them.

for every penis saved, there could be ten sets of boobies saved!

Did anyone ask for your approval before disfiguring your penis?

Given the health concerns and the disgusting appearance of the natural male form, I'm glad my parents elected to make the decision to remove the excess skin left over from penial dieting.

I'm also glad they were responsible enough to make other decision concerning my health and hygene like going to the dentist, getting my shots, and cutting my hair.

Did the dentist pull all your teeth out? After all, you may get cavities if you keep them.

Have you made your appointment for castration yet? You wouldn't want to get testicular cancer, would you?

By the way, how come your God made such a mistake in designing the "disgusting" male form? Why did he give us an appendix, come that?

God had the welfare of doctors and dentists in mind when he gave us all that stuff.

Why did he give us brains when most of us don't use them anyway?

Talk about silly arguments.

You're probably right, it would've been much better to neglect hygene, neglect my teeth,neglect haircuts, and never have my finger and toe nails clipped so I can walk around like an ugly saggind beast because it's natural.

God and I don't agree on everything, I'm sure you can relate.

it's there to protect your gland; oh wait, that probably only works with penises bigger than the size of a lipstick!

well, if there's 1% of uncircumsised men actually experiencing problems.. your friend must be the fraction that does it because aesthetical reasons.

can any of the people who think that every baby should be circumsised give me one compelling hygene argument instead of just saying its unhygenic?

[Reply]well, i've never heard a kid asking "mommy, can we get myself circumsised

[Abedy 0]

No.
BTW: I would not call it "disfiguring"

No more than Gosnell asked approval from any of the infants he aborted.

Oh come on, that's going too far. Slaughtering babies in late gestational ages cannot be compared to removing a piece of skin...

AFAIK circumcision is practised very often for hygienic reasons or to prevent complications such as [ur "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phimosis"l]phimosis[/url] (ouch!) And, at least regarding to Muslims, it's not necessarily religiously required. There's no reference to it in the Quran , it's "only" a sunna.
Most Jews - so I suspect - do it mainly for hygienic reasons. (Most Jews in Germany aren't that much religious, often called "3-day Jews" since they go to their synagogue only for the three highest holidays) and I suspect it isn't much different in the States...

as i said, showers help with hygiene.. and those "complications" that you speak off are very rare. there's simply NO need for it!

and for all i know, it's with most muslims and jews, even if they're only "3-day"-jews as you call them..

Sorry for quoting in full, but it's necessary.
Under formal aspects, you are right. I tried to emphasis that it seems that most circumcisions around the world are mainly done for hygienic reasons. There may also be aspects of religion and/or tradition, though.

If you refer to D/A/CH you're absolutely right since most circumcision there are performed on boys with Muslim belief.
When it comes to Germany, there a many liberal Jews and the "3-Tage-Juden" (Michel Friedman referred to himself with this word, and so did Hendryk M. Broder regarding his father) and I think most of them don't have their sons circumcised for religious reasons in the first place. That's wild guessing, I know...

P.S.: Yes, I am circumcised. So I do not know whether it's true I lost 60% or so of my penile functionality etc. I haven't missed anything yet and think my pecker works fine for both

How could you possibly know what you may be missing?

Maybe he had the procedure done only a few months ago.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama
