Petition going on in San Francisco to ban male circumcision - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Folgergeist;29502837]Thanks for the tip[/QUOTE] No problem

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29494524]Your dick wasn't in a woman's vag before you were circumsized so you don't know that Except when you have a foreskin there and your dick goes soft again afterward you don't need to worry about it rubbing up against your underwear because it's protected[/QUOTE] That's the joke. Who would be worried about their penis rubbing up against their underwear? I sure never do. I honestly don't disagree with the bill, but it's infringing on people's cultural values. Before the guy who I'm going to quote next says 'omg would you let somebody tattoo a baby,' that's different. Tattooing a baby has NEVER been culturally or socially acceptable in the United States (or any other modern first-world Western society as far as I know). Circumcision has, and people should have the choice because there's really no tangible good or bad to it. [quote]It's no different than your parents slicing your eyelids or little toes off. It serves literally no purpose in the modern world. It's barbaric.[/quote]Yes, because slicing your eyelids out is totally comparable to cutting off foreskin. Once again, cultural values, eyelids are not allowed (and honestly I don't see why they ever would be because your eyes are too exposed), foreskin is. [quote]I don't know if this has been said before, but men who are circumcised are at much lower risk for becoming infected with an STD or HIV. [/quote]Scholarly source, please. This sounds really retarded. I'm 99.9% sure you're going to get HIV either way if you have sex with somebody with it. @all you people saying circumcision reduces the feeling: who cares? I feel sex. It feels fantastic. That's all I care about, honestly.

[QUOTE=Fart Commander;29501518]when you are uncircumcised, your glans penis (the head of the penis) is an internal organ. Your foreskin is there to protect your glans from harm, to aid in sexual intercourse and masturbation, and to keep it moist for sexual intercourse. Even the all-dreaded smegma is actually your body's natural lubricant, and it also helps clean the glans. All of this has a purpose for the penis, and it was all created by either God if you are religious or millions of years of evolution if you are an atheist. When you are circumcised, your body adapts to the loss of the foreskin, just as it would adapt if you lost an eyelid. The glans is now an external organ, and as a result of the loss of foreskin, your glans gets hard, calloused and larger to simulate the protection of the foreskin. Because of this, it gets much harder to achieve orgasm for circumcised males due to the once sensitive glans being calloused over and desensitized from years of rubbing against their pants and underwear. The point of pre-ejaculate is now lost due to having no foreskin to lubricate, and smegma seizes to be made. In many cases there will be discoloration of part of the penis's shaft due to circumcision. In short, it doesn't matter if your holy book wants a blood sacrifice for your god, it doesn't matter if the girls you know think it "looks better", It doesn't matter if men you know think it "looks better", it doesn't matter if you think that a circumcised penis "looks better", it doesn't matter if you think you will have lower chances of a urinary tract infection, HIV/Aids, ect. if you are circumcised, and it doesn't matter if you think that having a circumcised penis is "cleaner". Circumcision is mutilation, and anyone who thinks that they are better off for it is an ignorant motherfucker. Everything on your penis has a purpose, and there is no reason to be circumcised other than if you have phimosis, and even that can in most cases be treated without circumcision. I'd go into details about the legal issues of circumcision, but I think you guys get the idea.[/QUOTE] Yet people like you can't stop telling me how much fun I'm not having when I'm fucking. [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Sanius;29500687]You could try making a shitty post about it.[/QUOTE] you've got all the shit posting covered, you don't need my help

[QUOTE=thisispain;29502564]yeah if you speak proper posh english, which is what they think all british people speak not if you are like me, who puts a fucking swear word in between every half-enunciated word[/QUOTE] It works on most nerd guys too :v: I <3 foreign women's accents.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;29503203]Yet people like you can't stop telling me how much fun I'm not having when I'm fucking. [/QUOTE] that's a lot of words for something i basically just put anywhere that fits [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Swilly;29503223]It works on most nerd guys too :v: I <3 foreign women's accents.[/QUOTE] that... is true as well

[QUOTE=Rammaster;29502635]I'm circumcised and I'm fine with it. I was forced though but it's a cultural thing and I understood that. Didn't really matter much except for the first few weeks your dick looked like it got chewed off by a dog. This petition kind of irks me. Not that it bans circumcision but it bans something that might be culturally important to someone else, something that doesn't harm anyone else.[/QUOTE] It bugs me because it's another reason people are ignorantly going to claim "MY DICKS BETTER THAN YOURS" with no real reasoning.

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;29502734]So, my argument was totally ignored because of my musical tastes? Get over yourself.[/QUOTE] Yes. I fail to see the problem. I can easily extrapolate you're an idiot and don't know what you're talking about from that one fact

I was circumcised and don't really give a fuck. If I wasn't, I don't think I'd really give a fuck either. The differences between them are so miniscule they may as well not exist, because you won't really be able to tell the difference in any case. I don't really think most girls care that much either. I think it's stupid to ban it, because the baby doesn't give a shit either. It's a lot of fuss over some so mundane and silly.

i like my dicks uncircumcised

I actually don't really care either way, but it kind of pisses me off when people say that those with circumcised penises are "mutilated". I suppose it fits the dictionary definition, but really on this level it's basically the same as telling someone they're screwed up. People who have been living like that all their lives and can't see anything wrong with it will argue the contrary, because they don't see anything wrong with their penis. And thus the cycle will start over and over and over again until everyone gets bored and leaves. Do we really want that?

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;29503600]It's really fucking insulting to call it mutilation.[/QUOTE] Basically the point I'm trying to get across.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;29503600]It's really fucking insulting to call it mutilation.[/QUOTE] Why use a euphemism when an adequate and accurate description is already available. It [b]is[/b] mutilation.

If you're gonna argue the 'more hygienic' and 'easier to clean' point about removing foreskin then I submit to you a challenge: get all of your fucking teeth torn out, and get dentures. Hey, it means no more annoying 2 minutes in front of the mirror morning and night, guys!

[QUOTE=lolnubs;29484532]Probably because you're so used to it, and lost the sensitivity, that it feels like nothing. Shave your pubes, wait for the prickly growth, THEN say it's not sensitive...[/QUOTE] Maybe if you tried that more than a few times you would know that it stops being prickly.. Pubic kiiiid

That thread is hilariously awesome.

[QUOTE=Riutet;29503702]Why use a euphemism when an adequate and accurate description is already available. It [b]is[/b] mutilation.[/QUOTE] So you can just tell people that their dicks are mutilated in a thinly veiled attempt to make yourself feel better about your own dick? Yeah, why not call it mutilation. The fact of the matter is everytime you say a dick is mutilated by being cut, then you're telling a large chunk of men that they have fucking mutilated dicks and are worthless by connection of being fucking mutilated. Do none of you see this? Oh, no, it's much easier to just fucking insult people.

My question is: why do people honestly give a shit? Was someone just looking down at their dick in the shower one day and said, "Y'know, this just doesn't [I]feel right[/I]." or something? I'm not going to bother arguing one side or the other because this whole fucking thing is stupid. It's a waste of peoples' valuable time that could be put into other things that DON'T have to do with dick skin.

I see it, but I also see these same jackasses making fun of those uncircumcised because we're few and far between.

[QUOTE=froztshock]I suppose it fits the dictionary definition, but really on this level it's basically the same as telling someone they're screwed up.[/quote] What? How do you manage to misconstrue a factual statement like, "That there penis without it's foreskin is mutilated." as "That there penis without it's foreskin is mutilated and it's YOUR fault." It's not even implying that it's the fault of the person of whom it has happened to in any way as far as I can see. [quote]People who have been living like that all their lives and can't see anything wrong with it will argue the contrary, because they don't see anything wrong with their penis.

They're free to argue, but they're going to be wrong no matter how well they word their arguments.

[QUOTE=Riutet;29503702]Why use a euphemism when an adequate and accurate description is already available. It [b]is[/b] mutilation.[/QUOTE] Because there are better ways to put it, especially around those who are circumcised. I don't call the penises of uncircumcised people ugly, I really don't care what your dick looks like. However to say that those who are circumcised have been mutilated implies, by the very connotation of the word, that they are inferior.

If you have a mutilation it doesn't matter if it's your fault, it's still a mutilation. Why call it a mutilation? Why try and point another finger?

I'm going to quote myself on Steam here. I am dRattman, of course. [img]http://i51.tinypic.com/n1ruoz.png[/img] [QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;29503890]I hate how people say "we could be finding a cure for cancer instead of this", its like telling a mechanic to fix a space ship.[/QUOTE] it was an example of something someone could be doing instead of arguing over dick skin, it doesn't have to be curing cancer, it could be fixing your car or playing a game with your friend, it doesn't even matter, get over it

I mean, a piercing is mutilation, a tattoo, but why do we not call those things a mutilation? I don't get the need to use the word mutilation in refering to a dick, even if it's a technically correct description. If you can't see the pointed nature of the word and the use of it, then you might as well walk up to a gay guy and call him faggot and not see the problem with that.

Also, you're fucked up if you go around asking your friends if they're circumcised and then getting either jealous or angry at them if they say their dick is different than yours. Why would anyone in their right mind do that in a social situation? "Hey, Bob, I got those files for you from the second floor copy roo-" "Hey, Joe, are you, y'know, 'cut'?" "Er, yeah, why?" "Are you religious?" "Um, no? Hey, listen, this is getting a little uncomfortable, I'd rather just stop right there and-" "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW YOU SON OF A BITCH"
