And thank you for your civil tone in response.First, thank you for maintaining a civil tone in your reply.
My analogy to vaccinations was not to debate the safety of thimerosal. I really don't know how safe it is. Regardless of medical knowledge (or beliefs) some parents may still feel that they are not safe. I still maintain that those types of decisions should be up to the individual parents in the end.
You mention that circumcision does inflict undeniable problems. True enough if it's done incorrectly. But I could make the same case for not circumcising. And I'm not just talking about urinary tract infections. From the age of 13 to 35, I had to deal with chronic fungal infections every summer. Please don't tell me it was from lack of hygene. Showering twice a day didn't help. Using Tinactin cream (for athelets foot fungus) helped, but would you want to smear that stuff on your penis every day for two weeks at a time? (Just try getting someone to go down on you with that stuff on.) Finally I had a circ done at the age of 35 and it was liberating. Maybe I was lucky, but I have not experienced a single negative effect from loosing that foreskin. Even so, I'm not advocating mandatory infant circumcision. It's not an easy decision. I'm just saying let the parents decide.
Boy is this ever an example of circed reasoning.true, but you don't remember it. circumcision gets done every day and if a baby wasn't strong enough to handle it, they wouldn't have been doing it for all these years.
Sorry to hear about that Dane. What is it with some doctors anyway? Why are they messing with twelve year olds' dicks?Lol, it removes the foreskin
As I have said before. I got cut when I was 12 because my doctor thought it would be fun, now I have a numb dick and I can't have orgasms anymore.
Unfortunately, there's nothing to advocate because there's no reason to cut normal healthy parts from newborn babies.And I have advocating showing BOTH sides of the story. Haven't I?

Wow that's going to be pretty hard - World Population ClockBecause some people just cannot find peace until every last foreskin has been removed.
if i wasn't already circumcised, unless it was medically necssary i probably wouldn't have it done. seems and sounds painful.
i can only think a sick mind would want to mutilate a baby's genitals
