babies are altered for aesthetic reasons fairly often, if my understanding is correct from friends who work in delivery rooms. i can understand the genital mutilation argument on this issue, but its nothing to get all high and mighty about. removal of the foreskin doesn't change your dick that much; to compare it the genital removal rituals performed in africa or the like where they cut out the entire fucking clitoris or more is just asinine. as for the baby; have y'all ever been around babies? the ones i've been around have been fucking crying factories. my opinion that the circumcision / non-circumcision decision isn't the most paramount issue our children face isn't going to be swayed by a video of a baby crying; purely emotional play there.

this whole heated argument thing seems rather ridiculous to me; who gives a shit if your johnson is cut or not? let's see...we've got the uncut guys detailing how its a satanic barbaric ritual which clearly alters the course the child's fragile psyche will take thoughout life (he could have been the goddamn president!) and the cut guys saying it either does matter, or in some cases its apparently fucking disgusting. gee...so we're reinforcing our own self-images. whoop de do. and in the process making a lot of, in my opinion, fairly hyperbolic dumbass comments about each other.

how do y'all feel if a parent elects to have something like a hairlip or birthmark removed when an infant is young? i was going to say cleft pallette work, but i think the old cleft pallette is a little more serious than the scope of dick surgery we're talking about. still, i don't know. i had a friends who left ear never fully unfolded when he was an infant, and his parents arranged to have it juked around with using a scapel and such to unfold it...for purely ascethic reasons. the guy was never upset at his parents for altering his natural appearance. i mean, maybe we're all sociologically brainwashed, but the fact that a bunch of guys who are cut...replying in this thread saying that we don't feel mentally and emotionally scarred...should be a reasonable indication that its not the heinous procedure that the uncut chaps are making it out to be.

i've written too much about this and now need more coffee.
