Another Circumcision thread

[The Grand Nudger]

I agree that circumcision is yucky and not something I would want to inflict on any child I was responsible for.  Even though the aftermath is not so awful, the process itself is not something I could even tolerate to watch.  No way would I choose to wait comfortably in the next room while it was performed.

How would you know whether the aftermath is awful, lol?  As an uncut man I'm telling you it would be awful not to have my bits intact.  You can either believe me, or not, lol. You can look at the studies and say "meh, still don't care". We don't disagree that the procedure is awful, and that's consequences..however used to them you may be as a man who had thois done decades and decades ago...are awful.

I get that your a dude, just like me.  This was done to you, you came out aight.  We all came out aight, though.  Distrubingly, ven addressing the issue in this way is to ignore it from the outset.  It's terrible, but meh, it happens...we're all a bunch of dudes that came out aight.  Who -cares- if we all came out alright. Victims of many crimes come out aight. Why is it even about that?

Nonetheless I'm on the side of individual freedom where male circumcision is concerned even though I'm against if for females.  That is because, from what I understand, it is much worse long term for girls.

................?  Rape me a little, rape me alot?  I don't even care to disagree with whether or not it's worse.  Why it would matter......murder is worse than assault, both are crimes.

Where and when the state should intercede is tricky and best tread lightly.  To pick a much less sensitive subject, if it were up to me, I would definitely seize every gun in the united states which wasn't issued to highly trained and monitored individuals.  In this case I think most of us would agree the harm to the individual is far out weighed by the benefits to the society as a whole.  

I think it's easier to make the case to seize guns than it is to make the case to allow male genital mutilation while dissallowing female genital mutilation.
