There are medical benefits to circumcision. 

Having it done at the newborn phase is the safest period to do it. 

I did mention that in my post.

Hygiene is an excellent reason for male circumcision. 

Cleaning the genitals is made much easier when circumcised. 

The $300 it cost is worth not having to teach my son a skill I never learned, because I was also circumcised. 

There's almost zero drawback to the procedure done at the newborn stage. 

I see one good reason for circumcision. My protestant mother who lost her first husband in WWII - he died in France.

"When they ask to pull down your pants, you'll be like the others."

She never said that - but that's what she thought.

Would you have to inform his parents?

This is mutilation.

Why are some adults obsessed with this

It feels better when one is uncircumcised when having sexual intercourse. The head of the penis is very sensitive, and sticking it in a warm naturally lubricated hole feels good. The unfortunate thing, is it is easier to catch diseases like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and even HIV.

the research suggests that circumcised is actually more pleasurable for the male and the female, although there are instances where it actually reduces sensitivity.

Of course - it's probably hard to be sure.  It's not like you can take it on and take it off and see the difference   

There's little doubt that back in the day it made it more likely to catch illness if you were uncircumcised but today with decent hygiene i understand it's not really a significant difference any more.

I don't know - kinda sounds like a bit of a coin toss if you ask me.

It is mutilation.

For some bizarre reason, some parents want to mutilate their children.

Some parents cut the penis, other parents pierce the ears.

Whatever it is - it's  not mutilation.

Mutilation refers to destroying, severely damaging or removing a body part.  The body part in question remains quite functional and undamaged. As noted much research suggests if anything it's better.

So - not mutilation. Just as piercing an ear isn't mutilation.

It is thought to help keep the penis more clean and prevent illness. Certainly in days gone by that would have been very true.

I oppose people cutting male genitalia?

I guess that I'm an anti-semite.

You can't.  That's LITERALLY the definition.  That's what the word means. Sorry, but whatever you want to call it mutilation is inaccurate. You might as well call it construction - it's not that either.

Sorry kiddo but you do have to give SOME heed to actual definitions. The body part is functional and unimpaired when the process is done correctly and therefore it is not mutilation.

So then don't cut your genitalia.  (is there something you want to tell us or something?)

No, just an !diot.  But it's definitely your right to be an 1diot if that's what you wish.   Lots and lots of people and cultures practice circumcision,  if you're ONLY suggesting jews are bad for it THEN you're definitely Anti semite.

You're putting a LOT more thought into this than most people do -  were you dumped by a girl for someone who'd been circumcised or something? They do say girls prefer it for the most part.

How about a 1/2 circumcision. Then one can have the best (or worst) of both scenarios.

How about piercing? Catholics cutting the ears of their young daughters?

Power gives you control, but only until the batteries die.

Whenever you hear the word power, it means control.

As Margaret Atwood wisely said, "At most, a woman can laugh at a man.. A man can kill a woman."

Margaret Atwood is a m0r0n of epic proportions and women have been killing men since before boudica decided she'd had enough of the romans.

If you honestly believe women can't kill men then i'm afraid you'll have to wait till you graduate preschool to continue this conversation.
