ORIGINAL: meatcleaver their parents made it for them for religious reason, socialization or grounds of pure ignorance. and you have heard personally from every single parent in America who has had their son circumsized which is why you have the right to speak for them You tell me why parents have their male children circumcized? You just proved my point. You do not have a clue why our choices are made...yet you feel you have the right to assume you do. I'll put it to you, RELIGIOUS IGNORANCE. The origin of circumcision in western society was the importation of middle east religions. The US being more religious than the largely secular Europe is the reason why so many parents in the US circumcise their male children and Europeans don't. It was religious nuts that introduced the idea of it being a health based issue because they were being shown up as ignorant. (Sort of like creationist introducing intelligent design into the argument against evolution). If it wasn't for religion, there wouldn't even be a discussion about circumcision. All the arguments about health and preference are rationalizations of a point of view and have nothing of substance to do with the issue. The issue is one of child abuse and mutilation through religious ignorance. Yes, child abuse. Fucking your daughter would be acceptable if enough people did it and it was sanctified by the church, synagogue or mosque.
