To circumcise or not to circumcise?

[Losty]

What is your evidence that there's any true decreased risk? It must be all those millions of dudes in other countries with penis cancer...

I've never read any studies outside of America that agree with most of the things on your list.

What's the point in me finding another study if you're just going to disregard any that I post?

I have a son. I have read every single study I could find on the topic. There's no evidence that any of this crap about health risks due to not circumcising is true.

Anecdotal

Well, isn't that an interesting word.

What makes a study true and what makes a study crap to you?

I suddenly remembered.

How convenient.

I didn't ignore it. I clicked it. I saw it was the AAP and I already know their stance. I posted it just yesterday along with the stances of pediatrics groups around the world.


I know they're skerred to take away muh freedoms to treat my child like shit. It's why spanking isn't illegal as well. It doesn't change the facts. The facts that even they do not recommend it as it has no significant benefits. Do they outweigh the risks? Probably but having a low risk doesn't make something more moral.

All I know is this: not circumcising can lead to numerous health risks over the course of the boy's life, and circumcising will change the way he jerks off. Benefits outweighing risks is the reason anybody ever does anything. There are so many decisions new parents have to make while raising a child. If the upside is the prevention of numerous health risks and a decrease in likelihood of catching certain infections and diseases, and the downside is changing the way he jerks off.... I certainly don't blame anyone for choosing to circumcise.

You don't know that. It sounds like a load of horse crap to me.

I'm just guessing personal bias.

Yes, it is an interesting word. It's passive aggressively asking Aegon to back his shit up, because "numerous problems" sounds a lot more serious than it is, in my own research experience as far as finding statistics on 'problems' uncut guys get.

Studies that are peer reviewed. And done outside of America.

Still, even from your own link to the AAP earlier they say there's not enough benefit to do this routinely.
