I find this website to be incredibly funny. It's a movement to ban circumcision of babies because it's immoral. Wow, it's nice to know how important morality is today. I honestly did not know that this practice was so barbaric... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I have heard that supposedly circumcision really offers no significant health benefit at all; and that the idea that it was "clean" or "healthy" was just a commonly believed old wive's tale. Furthermore it supposedly reduces pleasure for a man. Still I have to say in my opinion circumcision is still a good idea because uncirumcized wangs are freakin weird lookin.

What does the scientific method have to do with opinions?

It provides no real benefits, and a small amount of babies die or are mutilated by botched circumsions. Why bother?

Circumcised men last longer during sex. since countless nerve endings are destroyed during circumcision, sexual pleasure is not as acute but the person doesn't ejaculate as quickly and can have a longer experience.

I've never heard of that, not saying it doesn't happen, but very very rare. Its not that hard to 'slice and dice'

so here's the summary of the website.


We have a right to invade every hospital we want and claim that circumcision is wrong, immoral, and unjust.

But we won't stand to see any of that smut on TV.

I am all for smut on TV as long as it doesn't include any wierd uncircumcized Euro-cock.

I'd post a link which would illustrate my point, but then I'd be forum banned for life.

If we outlaw circumcision, then only outlaws will have beautiful shlongs.

I think the idea is to outlaw permanent body modification without someone's consent.

It's like being able to cut a kid's ear lobes off.

so? minor have no rights anyway. Why not remove something that is basically useless?
Cave-hermits
11-04-2005, 07:39
uh, maybe because its harmless. and surgery, no matter how minor, _always_ poses a risk.

way i see it, if its not causing problems, dont cut it(whatever) out/off.

How normal is circumsision in the US?

In NZ it's not usual at all unless your religion tells you to. Keep those scalpels away from me!

Actually, circumsicion has a very sound medical purpose. The foreskin, when the penis is flacid, creates a dark, close,damp, breeding ground for several forms of bacteria and fungus. :(

Especially now that there's a nifty new bloodless method that doesn't even involve an open wound!

Maybe it's this funny habit I've gotten into of taking showers and being clean. Hmmm...

it's good to know that so many people have so much free time on their hands, though. we must be living in a very prosperous world indeed, if removal of superfluous skin from an infant's penis is worthy of a whole International Coalition.

If that's true, then I'm glad I'm circumcised! ;)
