Nope! Circumcisions, escargot, cans of all types, plastic bags, Happy Meals, etc.

There are animals that are cannibals.. What does that have to do with anything.

If you are so concerned with infant PAIN then you should remove all NICU facilities because they cause GREAT pain to newborns while saving their lives.

You think my last child wanted a LARGE TUBE shoved down his throat into his lungs and stomach to suction him for 3 days right after birth?

Yeah I bet it hurt, but I felt the benefit outweighed his pain.

Just like I felt the Circumcision benefits of possible reducing his chance to get AIDS in the future was worth the little pain he felt.

What does the bible have to do with anything? It's not like it would talk about infected penises. Not everybody takes a daily shower believe it or not. Also not everybody cleans themselves like they should, if a person does not pull the skin all the way back to clean it, it will start to smell, talk to some women who have been in that situation.

You are just absolutely delusional about this topic. IT is true in California, as I live there in a BIG coastal city, that many of us like em without the excess skin. I don't care what people like anywhere else, I know what I prefer, having been with both, there is no SEXUAL FEELING difference, just a preference for something that looks NICE.

I have dated Black guys, Filipino guys, Mexican guys, Japanese guys, Scottish guys, and even the MUTT guys, that were cut, and they were all happy about it, as was I. I was sorta grossed out by the 3 dudes I dated who were uncirc'd but I never told them that. Why would I want to hurt their ego's and feelings. I will say they sure didnt get as many Bjs as my other boyfriends. There is something to be said for aesthetics.

That would be just cruel. I just know that I would gravitate away from it. Love conquers all, but when you are looking for short term, it may be a buzzkill.

Most countries never adapted routine circumcision for non-religious reasons in the first place, so there's nothing to ban. The US, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and New Zealand are the only countries which ever did (there was an attempt to do so in Britain but it never caught on to the same extent as in other English-speaking countries)
Why do you care what other countries do? This is America, you will find all kinds of crazy stuff here.

Okay you win for making the most irrelevant comparisons possible. Sounds like the tube was "shoved' down your child's throat to save his life. The doctors thought it was necessary to do this. If they had a less invasive choice they would have done it.

Why is circumcision necessary? (hint: ITS NOT!)

Don't let the one or two billion men walking around with foreskins be any testament to you. They are all dirty and sick.

Sales of soda and juice on city property
Smoking at the beach and in parks
Sippy cups

I probably missed a few.
Living in San Diego, you sure know a lot about San Francisco. Go watch some more football, meathead.

Football Freak is a self admitted racist troll. He's here along with his jobless trolling friends and alter ego's to troll the board with garbage & bay area hate.

LOL

Let me guess...

You think Rand Paul is great, you're a "birther", and you believe in death panels?

If a certain practice was adapted in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand for the same reasons and pretty much nowhere else on the planet for those reasons (Islamic countries have circumcision for different reasons), that suggests the exact same influence was at work.

Now, if something was done in the USA that was only otherwise done in some country that had nothing in common with the USA or wasn't done anywhere outside of the US it would be a different story.

Aesthetically, why mess with something that's formed perfectly to begin with?

I'd think the Tea Party would love a circumcision ban, as they could justify it as being able to distinguish who's Muslim from who's not.

In fact, isn't it hypocritical that the same people who don't have a problem with Sharia law being banned in Oklahoma have a problem with banning circumcision?
