Yeah its substantially more serious because veins and other things grow into it which aren't there when you're a kid...

I'm only going to respond to this because the answer to your question was included in the article that PKC posted.
"The theory behind the benefits of circumcision is that the inner foreskin is an easy entry point for HIV. It is rich in so-called Langerhans cells, tissue that the AIDS virus easily latches on to and penetrates."
I don't really hold an opinion one way or another, I was only making a quick couple of posts to point out that studies have made the claim that circumcision can reduce your chances of contracting STD's. So far, only one poster has actually responded to that information, and he did it without name calling or being a complete tool like you and Lunar, and his information and counter-points (questioning the methods of the study) have been noted.
The main point is there are so many confounding variables in any study making claims like that that the conclusion becomes useless...

Circumcision is not evil, but lets face it 98% (i can invent numbers too...look deeper into those studies to both pkc and spam;) ) of the time it is for cosmetic/theological reasons.
nah, like i said, i don't care either way. and im certainly not suggesting that data as a support for circumcision. just pointing out that there are a few studies that posit links between circumcision and AIDS dodging. im all about the facts, yo.

Excuse ME, sir. I am a philosopher and would never stoop to using base 'facts' in an argument!

I wonder what the mean time between circumcision threads is and how I could divide that up so that I could find the minimum amount of time needed to drastically OT a thread by randomly posting something about circumcision, even if its, like i said drastically off topic. :p
