Originally posted by Moongoose Oh goodie, time for another circumcision debate! As far as being worse than rape, does the mutilation of the female sex organs practiced in some parts of thw world count as being worse than rape? If yes, then why the double standard when it comes to cutting of bits of boys? If no, then i see no reason why it shoudnt be implemented and/or accepted for both sexes. Just a harmless religious practice after all right?

oh ffs like i'm the one that fucking brings up circumcision all the time. i get that people think it's awful.. really i do. but how many boys have been circumsised later in life because of a medical reason, and how many girls have had their labia cut off or vagina sewn tight for medical reasons? If it was REALLY that fucking barbaric it wouldn't be offered in medical clinics and doctors wouldn't perform it. they are done for two VERY DIFFERENT reasons. and we didn't have it done for religious reasons, either.

Circumcision stole my bike.

There are many things that you don't understand. Typically when somebody doesn't understand something, they don't vehemently argue over it.

Originally posted by srussell0018 Do you ever have anything to say other than bashing religion? Circumcision, for a great many people, has absolutely nothing to do with religion whatsoever.

And for a great many it does, and those people are fucking idiots. And for a great many like you said it has absolutely nothing to do with religion...so they are even bigger fucking idiots for jumping in on a religious practice despite not believing in that rubbish.


And as a matter of fact i do have other things to say apart from mean things about religion. Why, not even an hour ago i wrote a whole post here in the COR of all places without mentioning or even alluding to religion at all!

That's like calling anybody who drinks wine an idiot because they're jumping in on a religious practice despite not believing in that rubbish.

I keep it on the front spokes because it makes a rad noise since it's all crispy these days.

a lot of disillusioned people on this site on both sides of the circumcision fence here.

Not that Penn & Teller can be considered bastions of science, but watch this.

The Std HIV thing is a myth. Male foreskin is there to actually protect the gland of the penis...

That being said...my foreskin, it gets results. As for the doctors claiming that all of these "studies" they have done say circumcision is recommended have less to do with science than with the fact that circumcision is a 400 million dollar industry per year in the US alone.
