Gates to fund mass mutilation programme

I don't care......

It's no skin off my nose.

The reverse was found in some reports I read. Incidence of Aids was higher in circumcised men, possibly because they thought they were safe.

Link please, if you want me to believe that.

It has always been accepted as far as I am aware that circumcised men are less susceptible because of the difficulties of cleaning under the foreskin and also because tearing of the foreskin during vigorous sexual acts allows mixing of infected blood and thus the potential dangerous consequences of contracting AIDS.

I'm not fussed enough to go find it again. You'd think circumcised men would have less sex, though they would probably be at it longer when they do get it up, so that may negate the abstinence.

I don't think there's much point arguing with a Tory about that. Specialist subject areas, and all that.

Well, I'm thus pretty sure that your link never existed except in the minds of the uncircumcised.

... and if you're going to argue at least have a link to back your argument.

There is a lot of bad research done in connection with circumcision. It's been a cure for all sorts of things in the past. It's like a religion.

Well, mine was nothing to do with religion, but purely for health reasons as a baby.

I don't think Doctors in the UK circumcise for health reasons?

Of course they do if you cannot pass water as a baby.
