Until the routine genital mutilation of infants ceases.
Your fanatical disapproval doesn't make it either wrong OR any of your business. There has never been a clear and historically consistent medical consensus in either direction. For cultures and religions it's been practiced for centuries. As far as aesthetics go, some like, some don't. It isn't clearly right, or clearly wrong.Doesn’t make it right. Lol and quite frankly, I have the right to my own body just as everyone has. Whether you want to accept the implication to continue this bullshit, is up to you. I can’t stop you. I have helped a lot of people change their minds though. And guess what? They were doing it for NO GOOD reason. I’ve been told this. - good enough for me.
Oh, there is something broken?Your fanatical disapproval doesn't make it either wrong OR any of your business.

But keep ranting about it in a dick forum. That'll fix it.

Ranting in a dick forum? Really? Lol
Yet another thread about circumcision? How many times can we beat a subject?

What does it tell you? You're the one implying that you aren't ranting.And what does that tell you?
Replying to you in conversation.DildoShwaggins: I looked at your pictures, and while your ring distrorts things quite a bit, I woudl not rule out that you were circumcised. having been semi cut for manu years, I spot some of the signs. The abrupt end of your frenulum line which doesn't seenm to meet the raphe is a tell tale sign. and when erect, to have such smooth skin all around is ratre for uncut.
This is especially true if your parents told you you were cut. It is just that only a small portortion of original foreskin was removed,
With regards to the tipic at hand:
What has changed is that parents now know that circumcision isn't "necessary", isn't required to go into the army, leaving your son uncut wont cause cancer on 5000 women and all the original propaganda to push parents to have sons done.
The cosmetic and "it is much better" arguments are likely the more important ones now, and those are obviously a question of taste/preference. And depending on where in USA you live, "to fit in" may still be an important factor (since circ rates vary), but not as much as before.
Once parents know that circumcision isn't necessary and a man can be healthy with a foreskin, it does raise the issue of "let him choose" and some parents still decide to get it done at birth because it simplifies things a lot and save boy from having to undergo surgery later.
If the anti-circers had really wanted to be honest, they shoudl have piushed only on the issue that adult circ need not be traumatic, or overly expensive and that letting son choose is a big ethical question.
There are parts of the population that are circumcised at birth, some at eight days old. It's called a bris. As a covenant between God and Abraham for the latter. An everlasting covenant.
To call it genital mutilation is just as bad as saying that uncut is gross nasty and disgusting.
After all, those of us that were cut at birth were cut because our parents thought it best for us. Just like feeding us and taking care of us while we were unable to take care of ourselves.
I for one am not angry because I was cut, nor do I put a stigmatism on those that were not cut. I personally have encountered both. Those that don't take care of themselves and those that do, cut and uncut alike.
The same goes for personal hygiene. Some folks don't take a shower often enough while I normally take a couple of showers a day.
I am content being cut. I've never known any other way of looking at it. I never knew I was born with a foreskin until I was grown. It doesn't bother me that mine was removed at birth. I don't understand why so many men put such an emphasis on a body part that nobody sees unless you go around naked all the time.
Neither cut nor uncut guys had a say in how they were left with or without as infants. Just accept it or go through the process of restoring.
As many as it takes.Yet another thread about circumcision? How many times can we beat a subject?

Yes, there absolutely is still a stigma. I don't think its really representative of how people actually feel, but in media there is a lot of shaming of uncircumcised penises and none of circumcised penises. I find this particularly true in stand up comedy. I don't think its overwhelming, but when the subject comes up it always views the foreskin in a negative light. Amy Schumer for one has made jokes about it many times.
I don't really care that much, I'm not sensitive to it, and I know that the people I've been with who had not seen a foreskin before all expressed their interest and preference for it verbally. Maybe they were trying to make me feel good, but that's not a bad thing. But in comedy its usually important to make sure you take some swipes at all sides, otherwise it can't start to sound a little like hate speech.
Look in the mirror.Fetishes are like that.

You are "contributing" as we speak. In fact, you "contribute" to these threads more than I do, decrying their existence. What's up with that?The mirror is all yours Skippy. I’m not starting these threads not contributing to them. They should be banned for redundancy and banality.
We are all meddling in affairs that are not ours. This shouldn’t even be debate. It should be viewed the same way as would you or would you not cut off your child’s finger to prevent hang nails. That’s the issue. It shouldn’t even need to be discussed. It’s a disturbing nonchalantness towards something that isn’t nonchalant, especially to an infant.
... and rights.. and a fanatical devotion to the pope. LOL
