Good God.

Halx has it totally correct when he says that people will always gravitate to justifying and choosing again, their 'choices' of the past.

circumcision could be justified completely on health grounds maybe,100 years ago? it was debatable 50 years ago.

Today, with the standards of cleanliness the general populations of first world countries have adopted, there's NO health reason to be cut.

FACT.

The only reasons you're mutilating - for that is what it is, a socially accepted mutilation - the flesh of your infant son, is either that you had it done, so it's good enough for your son or for your own religious beliefs.

The first reason is, of course, stupid. The second reason, of course, is debatable.

I think it's incredibly sad that you violate the intactness(?) of your baby child, as well as removing a rather fabulous source of sexual pleasure from your son, WITHOUT HIS INFORMED CONSENT, forever.

Home correction, drink driving, arbitrary execution and imprisonment, women's disenfranchisement, slavery, racism and indeed female circumcision.

All, to a greater or lesser degree, are barbaric practices that are being, or have been, wiped out. Things can and should change.

Circumcision is outdated and outmoded, inflicted on babies for nonsensical, social reasons.

It's barbaric.

It's abuse.
