Absolutely NOT! If a male decides to have millions of nerve endings chopped of his penis, then he should decide when he is an adult.

So, when I was in the Army, I was exposed to people's stinky feet and pits, all the time. Should we cut them off? I mean, these men OBVIOUSLY can't clean their pits and feet, so they SHOULD BE REMOVED!

Of course! How dare they stink up other peoples personal space! While were at it, we should cut off hands because some people can't keep them to themselves!

Seriously? Now that is removing an extremity or a piece of anatomy that will affect other parts of the body. Your comparison is ridiculous.

Why do you care what other do with the foreskin which is not a necessary piece of skin?

I care because my superstitious parents removed part of my body without my consent. My comparison was not ridiculous, you just can't see the truth behind it because you've been indoctrinated by Judeo-Christian theology.

If "God" saw fit to provide us with a foreskin, how is it "not necessary?" What a joke.

How is it necessary? Do you remember that body part being removed? Did it scar you mentally? Could you have consented as a baby? Did your parents do other things you didn't want to do when you were growing up? How dare they!!!!

And how do you know what my religious beliefs are? Mighty presumptuous! And yes, your comparison was completely ridiculous. To compare hands or feet the the foreskin is irresponsible and you know it.

I still see the scar, is that enough for you? "you know it" and then you call me "presumptuous"? LMAO!

Male circumcision is firmly rooted in Americanized Judeo-Christian belief. Please, prove me wrong. You won't be able to. If you ACTUALLY research the practice, that is. It's barbaric.

You know, I find it SO IRONIC that right-wingers scream about freedom and liberty while at the same time whacking part of their non-consenting son's penies off. It's comedy GOLD!

Um. Number of uncircumcised males who eventually have to get one done for medical reasons...1 in 16400. Number of (easily treated) utis in male infants who are not circumcised...1 in 100. You want to cut every single male child (without his consent) to prevent basically a non-problem?

Stop drinking the koolaid.
