There are quite a few cut guys in my gym. NOT THE MAJORITY obviously. Maybe its because im cut that i notice it more!! Who knows:biggrin1: Its not the norm in the UK, I totally accept that. But its no soo rare as some people seem to think. As I said its in major urban centres where you get a big mixture of people.

Isn't it 'nobs'?
Noble. Nobility.

Nope! A common insult in the UK is 'knobhead' :tongue: and it's definitely with a K!

I've never met someone who's circumcised and most of them think it's sick 'cutting your dick off' or just a Jewish thing!

Definitely not on the rise. No doctors will do it unless it's absolutely nessecary.

Ah yes, the typical anti-circ brigade position of my people being barbaric. And it's so nice to know that the anti-circ brigade has a name for those of us who are circumcised and it begins with a "k". (Are you folks members of another group that uses three "Ks"?)

Such reasoned arguments are what I expect from the anti-circ brigade. Insults, rumors, and myths are all you guys have to offer? That's sad.

If you live in the Scottish highlands, Cornwall or West Wales I think the % is obviously lower - but in the big cities you get lots of cut guys.
Perhaps better access to big city urologists? :eek:!

You can't necessarily tell on casual inspection if guys are cut. Maybe they are warmed up and the glans is hanging out. Maybe you see what you expect to see.

Ah, yes, just another example of the "clear rational reasoning" that one expects to read from the anti-circ brigade. Insulting a people's religion is such a brilliant way to win points for your side. Please continue on.

A truthful statement is only tangentially related to your adopted religion. Pick it apart if you will. MGC is a bronze age blood ritual.

And again, you unsult me personally because you know I was born Jewish. Since you know my story I feel no need to repeat it here.

And the link you provide is to a very fringe group who is an extreme minority within Judaism.

In Judaism, unlike in other religions I could name, we have the freedom to disagree and write dissenting opinions. We even have a tradition in keeping dissenting opinions because we believe there is wisdom to be had even when we believe someone is wrong.

It's that kind of respect that I don't expect someone like you to understand. Your words speak for themselves.

So, insulting our religious practice and me is all you can offer for your side? [sarcasm] I can see why so many people are convinced to join the anti-circ brigade from reading your intelligent banter in these topics on LPSG. [/sarcasm]

What are you on about mate? Knobhead isn't for people who are circumcised (they'd had a problem finding someone who is for a start) it's a general insult, like wanker or dickhead. I was just reassuring him that it had a K in it :rolleyes:

Check out the urban dictionary if you don't believe me.

If a kid has died as a result of an infection then I'd strongly recommend the parents sueing the doctor who did it - surely it would be the fault of equipment being used that is not sterile or as a result of a botched circumcision. Of course I do not support badly done circumcisions.

I've also heard of someone dying in a dentist's chair having a tooth removed. This would not stop me having the same procedure done myself. The risks are so small.

It is of course the responsibilities of doctors to ensure procedures are carried out correctly and by using clean and sterile equipment. It is also the responsibility of people to choose clinics / doctors etc who do circumcisions who are reliable and have a track record of doing a good job.

I hear stories of boys in Africa being circumcised with unclean equipment. In no way do I support that.

I am in favour of circumcision, but only when it is done correctly.

anyone entering a british hospitail increases their risk of catching any infection by 100%.......most hospitals are breeding grounds for everything as they never get cleaned properly

and forgot to add that in my experience....nurses are the most unhygenic people on the planet........visitors get blame but if you see what ive seen in hospitals then you know its the nurses couldnt care attitude regards basic hygiene or cleaning behind them,etc

I thought you said you were a convert. My bad.

Yeah, they are probably dangerous extremists.
So, insulting our religious practice and me is all you can offer for your side?
Persist in calling it a religious practice and I'll persist in calling it stupid. Does Judaism depend on circ? Weak.

I'll persist in calling it what it is for us Jews, a religious practice. And apparently you will continue to insult Jews and the religious practice. [sarc] I'm sure that will make you look good to potential "converts." [/sarc]

And you seem to have a very short memory. We've already discussed the centrality of Brit Milah for Jewish men and its significance.

And you apparently will continue to insult Jews who observe their traditions and the traditions themselves. See my first paragraph, last sentence...

A religion that actually depends on the cutting of infant penises is inconceivable. If I didn't know it existed I wouldn't believe it. Why not wear a red dot on your forehead like the Hindus do or some other outward show of devotion? Something you can be proud of. Cutting infants in their privates is simply shameful.

A central feature of fundamentalism is wanting to make the clock turn backward. So many of your old "covenants" are no longer practiced. Times change. Religions change.

Jews represent around two percent of the U.S. population. Assuming half are male, that is one percent male genital cutting. How did so many of the rest of us end up with your "religious" symbol carved in our genitals?
