There's only two countries where the majority of the population has been circumcized: the USA and Israel.
Back in the 1980's the ratio was like 80:20 / cut:uncut. nowadays, as more people become more educated about the issue, its more like 60:40 / cut:uncut.
My mom used to be a nurse, and she pretty much described the procedure to me once, its not nice. That was one of the main reasons she didn't have me cut. She also pretty much confirmed that these days its an operation just done for money more than anything else. This excludes religious circumcisions.
for those interested in religious history, I believe there's actually a portion of the New Testament that addresses circumcision. Basically one of the apostles said to the masses that it was okay to go uncut, and that it wasn't necessary to take part in the faith.
