I would just like to take this moment to state, for the record, that I am aware of the many forms of punctuation available to me. Furthermore, with a few exceptions (en-dash v. em-dash) I generally feel rather comfortable using punctuation. In fact, I have a favorite form of punctuation: the semi-colon. ; ; ; Isn't it beautiful? Like a comma and a colon, all rolled up into one.

I shall now depart to practice using punctuation in furtherance of my quest to utterly disrail threads everywhere.

It's funny the circumcision thing came up. I'm not sure whether I'd have my male children circumsized or not. I keep thinking about it, but there seem to be good arguments on both sides.

I'm guessing my bf will probably have pretty black and white ideas on the topic (as he does on most topics) so I guess we'd do whatever he wanted. Hey, he's the guy, he's in a better position to decide a "guy" thing like that anyway. Better HE decides it's okay to cut than me, I have no "attachment" to the topic

General advice for der womenfolk: Let the father of the child decide what's to be done with your boy's dick.

Also, LB, as I have studied the Bible on this issue - - it was always removal of the foreskin that was the jewish covenant with God. A small prick of bloodletting upon the prick was, to my knowledge, never sufficient for the purpose.

Let's face it folks, those of us who are cut have this special deal with God. We get 40% off in exchange for that 1% off. If you don't want in on the deal, that's your choice.

But, trust me, let the father choose.

And I did! I didn't think it involved "removal" but yeah, since I don't have one (a lovely little shrimp), I deferred to an owner on this issue. In spite of enormous pressure my ex just *couldn't* do it to his little offspring guy. And he was pretty sure, before said little guy was born, that he wanted "similarity." I know he wonders if he made the right choice, as do I from time to time, but it's [not] done, now. Maybe that "pricking" I read about is for adults who decide to embrace Judaism?

if the father gives a rat ass- sure....if they are gone and don't care and don't even see the kid because he's a useless jackass- I don't think I would bother-

Scrooge McSam · 09-30-2005, 05:36 PM

*stay calm, sam you can do this*

Barring medical necessity, why not let the child decide when he's of the age to?

Medical authorities, the AMA no less, say there is no medical reason for this procedure on a newborn.

Why is it right and proper to operate on a boy's genitals with the parent's consent, but not a girl child? How many of you are ready to argue for female genital modification on a newborn?

*hold on, sam*

You do realize the surgery is done without anesthetic? Many mothers report how "quiet" their sons are after the procedure without realizing their son is in shock. Without getting too graphic, these body parts infolved are fused together much like the fingernail joins the flesh underneath. They can't be cut apart, they must be pulled apart, or ripped if you prefer. And without anesthetic, remember.

*easy... back off a little bit*

I don't understand how thinking people will allow their newborn sons to be treated in this manner. I don't know what to say. I guess I'm thankful I've seen most of your pictures and I know for a fact most of you don't have bones in your noses.

*FOUL! alright, that was outta line apologize now*

I'm sorry. That was a cheap shot. But I don't get it. Somebody please explain to me why this is right. Please?

The whole circumcision thing surprised me when it happened. I delivered a boy (after I was told I was having a girl) and I didn't even think of it till my mom mentioned "are you getting him circumcised?" I sat back in shock and thought holy crap, I didn't even *think* about that. So we talked it over and after a rather awful story told to me by my boyfriend and some other things we decided yes, we would get it done. I did not do it for religious reasons though. I just understand why Prudence said what she said because people will make awful comments to you about it. (I just wanted to tell her hey I support you even if other peole don't.)

I did not want to offend anyone else either by buying drinks for Prudence in hell. (hey I am going there anyway for the chicken comments right?) but then it occured to me.... Maybe the circumcision is what has now caused my son to love all things Jewish. (no I am not kiddingnor am I trying to make fun of anything or anybody...) He totally loves menorahs,the prayers,wants to celebrate all the holidays, he tries to repeat all the Hebrew phrases on his baby einstein dvd. I mean I come into the den and he says "Shalom mommy. Can I learn Hebrew so you will get me a Menorah?"

And hey does anyone watch Pen and Teller Bulls**t? They showed a guy who MADE his foreskin come back. (after a LOT of tugging of course.) Just thought I would throw that out there. It was pretty weird.

Nephythys · 09-30-2005, 06:13 PM

some men consider, as Scrooge does, that it is mutilation. Some men HAVE had surgery done to "repair" the damage- yes

I totally feel that my sons can make the decision when and if they want to- there has never been a medical problem, concern, or anything else that would convince me I was wrong to do it this way. In fact, just like my brother, my oldest seems to appreciate it.

Tito's Kitten · 09-30-2005, 06:23 PM

No, the guy didn't have surgery.... he FORCED the skin to move forward. That is why it was weird. He showed how he did it too.
