circumcision without both parents consent

[NotAllThere]

Whoosh.........

I am questioning whether rituals should be allowed.

God you are thick.

Missing sassy already?

No. All rituals should be banned. Including secular ones. You can't be too careful.

How about the ritual dance the mods do before banning someone?

And what about Morris dancing?

That is where life gets very difficult. Suppose you have 2 parents who are getting divorced(unlikely I know but bear with me).

The child will be used(by the mother) to blackmail the father. Well, the man she is married to who is possibly not the father - 1 in 7 DNA tests find the man is not.

If the child was born within wedlock the man she was married to at the time is legally the child's father.

In regards to male and FGM they aren't compatible - you seem to have a problem getting this into your head may be you need to see photos -, plus there are countries in Asia e.g. Malaysia, Singapore, that take part in the sick practice of FGM.

Morris dancing should be banned. A few Eastern European countries do a similar dance with similar costumes but miles better.

Americans are routinely circumcised, with no ritualistic or religious undertones.

Yes, I don't think this is widely known - I only picked up on it through references in TV shows taking it for granted.

Although is it really completely without religious influence, or due to the large Jewish population and influence in American society?

Sheep mentality - I watched some Youtube video on it and apparently because a guy is circumcised and doesn't think it is a problem, he gets his son done.
