Are you circumcised

[psychocat]

i dont get why the people that r against circumcision are getting so defesive and pissy about this. Why does the state of others penises angery ou so much. jesus

The reason people get annoyed is because if you chose to "mutilate" a child in any other way you would rightfuly be locked up for a very long time yet this barbaric practice is practiced every day and as long as nobody speaks out they will continue to do it.

It's the same humanity that makes me step in if I see someone being bullied.

Yes I am circumcised, and I'm fucking pissed off about it.

You are entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine. Your hatred of foreskins is going the way of the horse and buggy. It's OLD - and your grandchildren, if you have any, will likely not be cut.

I don't care what you did, it's important that this barbaric practice be stopped. Your opinion is in the very small minority, and becoming less and less prevalent every day.

BTW, "Damn you!" is not a very nice way to start a conversation, Fatso. :dance:

i like the little dance, i can almost imagine someone saying that and doing a little jig lmfao im uncut and happy with it the way it is, if i ever feel the need to change that i am perfectly able to but once its gone its gone. I must say, i do rock the turtleneck though

When I had my son, this was so hard. In the end I couldn't do it to him. Don't jewish boys have it done at 13? I thought maybe when he's that age he could decide for himself. I don't want him to be seen as diff. by his peers, growing up is hard enough as it is. But, it never really made sense to me, I'm all for anything natural (hippiegirl)

Breukelen advocaat, you are my hero on this issue.

To everybody who is giving him a hard time about his supposed "obsession" with the foreskin, realize that this isn't just about a penis. This is about religious dogma infiltrating every expect of our society, and when not following religious dogma makes a person an outcast (i.e. having a foreskin).

There is absolutely no medical reason for the circumcision in any case, and it is especially appalling when it is done to a child with no voice in the decision who often feels regrets for their entire life.

There are of course studies out there that say that a circumcised penis is cleaner. There are studies out there that say marijuana causes impotency and amotivational syndrome. What I mean to say is that there are studies to justify every piece of Christian Right bullshit.

Circumcision is a part of something bigger than itself. It is about the free choice of an individual and about standing up for facts, logic, and the way we were meant to be in the face of an avalanche of dogma and fear.

Just because it is your opinion it is okay, just because it is our societal standard does not make it right to mutilate a child.

And Muncheemama, you're self-righteous indignation and heated claims of "experience" over ours don't help. Being passionate about something wrong doesn't make it right. Your ridiculous claims of making parental decisions might not play out so well when your children realize that they have lost a part of themselves that they will never get back.

I think you're thinking of the bar mitzvah that Jewish boys have at 13. That's when they "come of age" and are thought to be grown-up enough to be responsible for obeying all their faith's commandments from then on.

Jewish male baby boys are supposed to be circumcised on their 8th day of life, and their circumcision is thought of as an outward sign of a male's participation in Israel's covenant with God.

Although I'm an agnostic Presbyterian, religious beliefs of all kinds just fascinate me. I've just been reading the Jewish Book of Why about this very subject, prompted by this thread a couple of weeks ago when it began. If I were Jewish, I'd have had a hard time circumcising my son, but apparently it's a very commonly practiced ritual in their religion. From what I've read, even the majority of unobservant or lapsed Jews still do the circumcision even when they don't adhere to any other aspect of their faith.

People who think being circumsized is "right" needs to take the yard stick that seems to be oh so lodged up their rectal cavity, OUT.






IMMEDIATELY.

That post is idiocy at the hight of its meaning. Please, if you have nothing normal to post, then dont. This isnt a schoo kid web site, its for ADULTS, and we dont like children posting in ADULT threads.

[Empire]

You're right LIP that there are a lot of stupid people posting a lot of stupid things on this thread.

Overall though, it is an important topic that some people feel strongly about and argue articulately about.

Do as I do and ignore the stupid people

I'm still intact and I couldn't be happier. I feel sorry for you gentleman that got cut.
