Lets ban circumcision (male too)

[Heresson]

It's barbaric. Cutting an intimate and well-nerved part of a little child's body, probably without any pills for it too calm down the pain it's going throigh.
You may argue that it has some hygienical plusses, but the same cutting one boob of Amazons had practical plusses too.
Without the skin it's like a warrior without a helmet.

Children baptisement... it's a problem too. You force poor little child into cold and stinky water

[chequita guevara]

Nah, it looks better.

[Asher]

Circumcision should only be used as punishment for being religious.

What, do you want the kids to go to hell?

As for circumcision, I don't think it should be encouraged.

[Heresson]

I think I've heard that they want to ban it in Sweden

[Gangerolf]

Baptism?

[Heresson]

no, circumcision

Oh, btw. We should ban ritual killings of animals in Jewish and Muslim religions too

[Whaleboy]

No way! I'm so glad I was circumsized

If you actually talk to people who were circumsized, most are happy with it and I haven't met anyone who's had it done in later life that regrets it.

So I ask, why outlaw it?

Why? Looks better, better hygiene, less risk of STI. The foreskin serves no purpose... its only evolutionary role was to protect the glans when mammals did not walk upright.

I have, which isn't surprising, since circumcision done later in life has a much higher chance of infection, urinary problems, tenderness and looking weirddue to slight botching.

Personally I would ban it until the child decides for themself. It is mutilation, and I don't think that's right unless the person chooses it, like with ear piercing or cosmetic surgery.

yeah, lets keep Europe pure.

The jews can move to Israel, and the US will take the muslims and make them into good Americans.

USA! USA! USA!

Why not just ban it for people under the age of consent and allow adults to get it done if they think it's important to have parts of their genitals sliced off?

[Gangerolf]

"Looks better",

Says who?

"better hygiene."

Not if you're not a total slob about it.

", less risk of STI"

Says who? Not if you're not a total slob about it.

And doesn't circumsizees (I doubt that's a word) lose a lot of sensitivity and so on?

This is all good, but I hope that if you were a parent you wouldn't automatically assume your child would grow up to share your view on this matter. Let everybody decide for themselves what they think of this weird practice and stop forcing it on unconsenting kids.

[Thorn]

Yes lets stop making kids eat healthy and brush their teeth, they can grow up a decide for themselves if this is what they want... stop forcing it on kids....
