I am all for circumcision an I will make sure all my kids are cut.
Religious guilt trips are only effective on the religious :tongue:
Really baby? Or maybe they work on sons who feel guilty about not ever being there and shunning their forefathers religion? Its much deeper and more complicated than that. And I know you kno that hunny.
I am aware and yes a very complicated subject. However, it is possible to explain without jeopardizing our beliefs and yet not offend the family. In the end, I have no doubt, we will act in the best interest of our child.
Indeed in church it's different for one reason or another, and having sex is also different from the other 99% of the time you spend with your penis.In church, it is different. You need to protect your penis from the catholic priests. Pants may not be enough though, you may need a chastity belt.
I actually agree with that, but I've wearied of trying to defend it. The penis is too much invested with magical power for most people - the same magical power that makes people want to control it by circumcising - for them to imagine treating it like the rest of the body.But out on the streets and in shoppng malls, there should be nothing wrong with males having their penis exposed to breathe some fresh air.
and What basis do you use for your decision? That gives your child no fucking choice about what he may want. That's just plain ole traditional ignorance.
And what if they grow up to be all against it?I am all for circumcision an I will make sure all my kids are cut.
He can change his name (duh).I have his name picked out and he had no choice in that
Not completely.I am the boss till he is 18 after that if he wants it back hi can get it restored.

I love my foreskin & my son(s) will have the chance to love theirs too & if they don't they can always get rid of it...i just want them to have the option & not make the choice for them
Well, actully the negative feelings would have started a little bit later, wouldn't they?I wish I had been circumcised at birth. I had negative feelings toward my parents for not having me circumcised when I was born.
But you don't actually say why. If it was to look like the other guys, why not wish to have been born somewhere they looked like you? Or wish they did look like you?The happiest day of my life was the day I got circumcised. It would have saved me a lot of grief if I had been circumcised at birth. So there, take that!!!
What gives them that "right"?it is their right to do it
Whether they would or not, it is ILLEGAL to cut ANYTHING* off girls in most of the developed world. What kind of a "right" is it that makes victims of only one sex?but would you do it to your girls too?
