Circumcision

[sasguru]

I go away for a few weeks and I come back to a load of childish petty squabbling and name calling.
Thank God for that, nearly had to find somewhere else to go to feel wanted!!

Welcome back, SB. As you can see nothing's changed

Whatever.
I'm not the one who insults people I don't know by saying they're unfit to have children.
Pop your head out of your arse and sniff the fresh air now and then.

I did not say he wasnt fit, I said he didnt deserve to have kids.
So I need to "know" somebody before I can have an opinion on them? You seem to freely pontificate on me, do you know me?

Now tell me why you believe circumcision is acceptable.

And into LR we go....

Took longer than expected though.

If you are able to form an opinion that someone doesn't deserve to have kids because they choose to have their son circumcised please step forward and accept your chief village idiot award. All imho of course.

Now tell me why you believe circumcision is acceptable.

Seeing as its a very common procedure (from the poll about a third of us are)perhaps you should tell us why you think it's unacceptable and why you feel so strongly about it.
I can't see any circumcised man on here complaining.

Not if you wish to have that opinion rightly bracketed along with your opinions on most other topics. Ill-informed.
However you might want to research things a little more diligently in future if you are ever to lose that conical hat with the "D" on it LG.

I dont believe they should. unless medical grounds. If people choose to do so as an adult then fine.

I dont mind the dunces hat in this forum Shaun, most of you could never aspire to such dizzy heights.

So let me get this straight. You guys all think that cutting lumps off your kids for no reason is an acceptable practice?
If so, what practices do you find unacceptable? Piercing, tatoos what? Labial circumcision OK?

Most of the benefits of this practice are only valid when the child reaches puberty and then they may ba able to make an informed choice of their own.
Just because it was done to you does not make it right. Just because it has done you no harm doesnt make it right.

Sorry if you dont like it, but in my (ill informed) opinion anyone who is willing to inflict harm on their own children for anything other than medical reasons doesnt deserve to have children.

Now, once again, give me a valid reason for continuing this practice.

Mine was peformed on medical grounds whereas my two elder brothers had theirs done at birth. Not sure how I slipped through the net but quite frankly wish I'd had it done when I couldn't remember it!

Fair enough. but is that a reason to circumcize all boys in case they need it done on medical grounds later?

Can I ask if, without medical grounds, you would have have it done? Put another way - pleased you slip through the net?
