I'm waiting for a TL member to come back from visiting his friend. I'm also talking on skype about how we are going to advertise our StarCraft II uni. club at tomorrow's orientation while watching shitty Star Wars episode 3.
Is there an issue?

Thank god there's another sane person in this thread.
I have no idea where people are getting this ridiculous idea that circumcision is this most heinous terrible thing. Seriously. No one is agreeing on whether it's better or worse to have it. People are throwing around "mutilation" because it's sensationalist. This thread is ridiculous.
This is not like taking out the appendix (an invasive surgery ffs!). This is not like female genital mutilation. This is not fucking breast implants. Jesus.

No, WELL I GUESS IT DOESN'T MATTER THEN A HURR HURR Yeah, show me how widespread everyone making it. Give me numbers, I'm genuinely interested because I have no idea how widespread or important this crucial issue is. Yes, you do. Because I doubt you recall at all. The intentions are different. Rape is not circumcision. Do you not think circumcision is not widespread? Okay then; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_circumcision Just because I wouldn't remember getting my dick hacked up doesn't mean it didn't hurt or it's okay. Yes it's not rape, it's cutting the babies dick. Something that is also a terrible thing to do.

What's the other one besides Judaism?
If we enacted a similar regulation, I'd probably comply with it if it was reasonable. I'm willing to consider it :3

People don't really walk around naked all the time, and foreskin isn't exactly a chainmail lol.

FGM is comparable to MGM because there are varying extremes for both. Extremes of male circumcision involve cutting of the entire dick and testicles. Extremes of FGM involve removing the clitoris and sewing the vagina shut. Lesser extremes involve pricking the clitoris/foreskin with a needle so that only a drop of blood falls.

If it was law of course you'd comply with it, otherwise it'd be illegal not to! The debate here is whether it should be.

Ok, there are painful scars after a circumcision. It's here by evolution. The jewish circumcision is a bloodletting ritual. All you need to do by jewish laws is prick the penis and let blood flow. Then you still fulfill the requirements. The glans is supposed to be sensitive for a reason. Having a sensitive dick during sex is at least twice as good as having a tough skinned dick as testified by people I've talked to who have had sex in both ways.

Painful, how so?
My child won't get to compare, why would he be bothered? Keep this around the idea of the child and his point of view. Will he truly be bothered of a decision made about his penis that he can't recall, is used to seeing, cannot compare the sexual pleasures and the difference in protection is irrelevant if nothing happens to it.
The only issue I could see is that he rejects entirely the Jewish heritage of my father's side. But even then, if he disassociates the circumcision with the Jewish tangents, the sight of it being circumcised has an unlikely painful memory of any horrors from the religion I intend to raise him with to teach him good morals and values (to which he can establish his own values as he matures).
All what ifs.

But even then, if he disassociates the circumcision with the Jewish tangents, the sight of it being circumcised has an unlikely painful memory of any horrors from the religion I intend to raise him with to teach him good morals and values (to which he can establish his own values as he matures). All what ifs. A big shame you lose all respect of me ): I still respect you ~<3
You forget that he will hear/read about some people who have experienced both and prefer the norm. He might not get to compare it himself but he'll still be upset because he'll never get to CHOOSE for himself.
Just don't do it, let him decide so he can't blame you. Like it or not he might do just that.

Thanks for making this thread. I'm circumcised and the more I learn about it the more appalled I am. People hate to hear about it though and threads like this usually get shut down. People need to speak out because this is still being done to infants who can't speak for themselves. If an adult wants to have surgery on their healthy, fully formed penis then I have no problem... but it's a violation of human rights to cut a healthy body part from an individual without their knowledge and consent. Mods please don't shut down this thread; people need to be informed even if the truth hurts to hear.

Personally, I am all for the government taking a more active role in legislating on the minutiae of parenting. What I would prefer is a big, fat, thoroughly researched handbook on how to raise, feed, clothe, and educate a child from conception to legal majority, a handbook from which it would be illegal to deviate. A nation's children ought to be more thoroughly protected from the ignorance and backwards practices of their mothers and fathers.
