I was snipped as a child - who knows if is the cause of any of my problems? I don't have an alternative universe where I can see myself uncircumcised.
We decided to leave my son intact because there is no reason to do it.
For people who say it is "aesthetically" better - what a crock of shit - that is just more of the same ingrained thought - "everybody has it, so it looks better if I do too". If
yours looks like that, of course you think it looks better.
I reject aesthetics as a reason to do this - it's basis os flawed.

I don' think it is the same at all. One is removing something you can't put back and the other is adding pretty shiny things that can be removed later, usually without any lasting problems.
Plus people rarely pierce their children in the first week of life.
What actually pisses me off most about this is people don't seem to really think about it too much - "I'm done, so we should do him too...".
