and every other goddamn thing, at least until they can talk...every parent has a right and an obligation to make those choices....I simply made the choice that I, as my kids parent, thought would be right....unfortunately all the PARENTS that made the same decision I did, wont speak up about it because hearing someone without any experience in being responsible for a child criticize their parenting practices is insulting and ridiculous...I dont blame them for feeling like they shouldnt have to defend how they raise THEIR kids...I love the comments like "i wont have them cut, i dont care what the bitch says.." well the "bitch" you refer to is the mother...and unfortunantely for the "man-bitch" the real "bitch" has alot more to say about what happens to the child then daddy...especially if you knock her up out of wedlock, so i would suggest being nicer to your bitch...
shame on all of the people who speak like prophets on a subject they dont have any real-life experience in... I'll listen to the dude that got the cut at 30....he knows what hes talking about...Ill chat with parents who made the decision to do it or not... I wont, however, listen to the people who come on here "halfcocked" (heehee) just looking for a reason to bitch and flaunt their abilities to research random shit on the net (congratulations, by the way, you can read)....maggz...once again I am not speaking directly to you, i just like the point you made and thought your quote would start my rant off nicely...thank you
when all of you are lucky enough to have babies, you can bet that I wont be on here bitching about the kind of life you have chosen to start your kids with...and anyone who thinks they have the right to talk shit obviously has no idea of what kind of imperfect, double edged, damned if you do damned if you dont, type of decisions pop up in parenting....gain that experience and talk to me again, maybe I can actually respect your opinion
First of all, I've been "researching" circumcision since long before the internet was around. I have also given my time, resources and money to the cause of stopping it. I don't "flaunt" anything that I believe in - but I don't let it die just because some misguided people have a different opinion.

You still fail to get the point. Nobody is blaming YOU, or any other parents, for anything. This barbaric practice has to be shown for what it is, and we have the rights to speech, assembly, petition, etc., until it stops. This procedure is beyond "malpractice" - it's a gigantic, malicious fraud, and the remaining cases of unnecessary foreskin mutilations in the world are diminishing every day. Your yelling and insults won't do any good - uncut is going to be the norm in the U.S. - and that goes for your future grandchild descendants, whether you like it or not.
