Wow, I'm amazed at the vehement reactions some of you have regarding this topic. The way I see it is as follows.
First, there are a variety of cultural, religious and medical reasons to do a lot of things. In many eastern bloc countries, children had their appendix' removed at or near birth because they were unnessecary and could cause problems later. In the US we don't practice this, and many consider it cruel, but it never hurt the kids.
Personally, I'm circumsized. I don't care. It doesn't feel weird having my body altered without my say. What if I were born with a defect that my parents had to decide whether or not to fix? Say... and extra finger. This is "socially unaccepted", but it was my "natural state". Does the same apply? Should they have let me decide later in life? Really think about it... it's no different. I'm not saying that foreskin is a defect, I'm only saying it in the concept of ones personal natural state and not having the ability to make a decision about a change.

I mean, that would be like me saying that people would look better if their fingernails were surgically cut off, because it would be more neat that way. (and cleaner!)

That makes no sense at all... it doesn't HAVE to indicate "brainwashing". You know what? Despite the popular media trying to make all American men think humongous, giant breasts are attractive, I'm partial to smaller ones. Why? Because it's my own personal liking. If someone likes cut penises why does it reflect on society? There are tons of American women who prefer them uncut. Your argument makes no sense.
Overall, as for feeling and sensitivty... I'm cut, but I'm still vocal about sex. If you had uncut guys who were ALWAYS more vocal than the uncut guys you were with, could it maybe have also just been the guys? I'm not trying to sound like a prick (err, no pun intended) but there seems to be a lot of assumptions and speculation being made without any forethough.
My son is cut. If I have sons in the future I have no idea if they will be or not. Frankly, I doubt it makes a tremendous amount of difference in the long run.
