I didn't say it was mutilation. You drew the equivalence between tattooing and circcumcision and then said tattooing was wrong.

You can discuss the health issues but that's not what you have done up until now.

The child cannot consent so it should be left until the age of majority when he/she can.
And now, my friend, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow, if you care.

The connection I made between them was based on none of them being mutilation, which is what the whole thing has been about. That doesn't mean they're all right or all wrong. They're just all not mutilation.

So I should also wait until my kids are at the age of consent to brush their teeth, cut their hair, give them baths, medicine, etc? That's ridiculous.

Surely you're not comparing brushing their teeth to removing parts of their bodies. What health benefits are there that you can't get just as easily by being thorough in cleaning the dick?

Are you trying to make some point?
It's sarcasm, man. Everything after the ear piercing comment is sarcasm. I was laying it on thick so I thought it would be obvious.

You should've mentioned clit-piercing, I think that would have done the trick.

OUCH!

Must admit that's the reaction I have to a Prince Albert too.
