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

[QUOTE=Sanius;29490569]I'm fairly certain that having the head of your penis and urethral opening constantly exposed can bring about medical complications.[/QUOTE] If it really brought that many medical complications maybe it would actually be noted, but in this case, it's not. Medical complications are sparse and not enough to cause the banning of circumcision.

[QUOTE=Trogdon;29490579]No, because that is not the same thing. Tattooing babies is not a religious practice of any culture. You also have to consider that tattoos are reacted to differently (socially) than a cut foreskin.[/QUOTE] Except it is a religious practice of many African cultures (and I'm many others but sue me, I'm not an anthro-guy). Why would you have to consider that? Apparently that doesn't matter, because it's unconstitutional, and every parent should have the freedom of choice? [editline]29th April 2011[/editline] [quote]This is not a desperate cause, this is trying to limit religious practices that you do not believe in, which violates the constitutional right of freedom of religion.[/quote] Woah buddy, you just legitimized the rape of all the girls in those cult-ish pseudo-christian groups you hear about on the news every few years. I'm sorry, but there is no possible which in which I can argue with you after that. Please, though, take a look at some of your principles, and think 'well, what if I applied this to other cases? Do I believe those are morally right? If not, perhaps I should change, or at the very least, reconceptualize my principles?"

i wanna circumcise my asshole

[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;29490612]Also, no dick cheese.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Nerts;29487375]You only get dick cheese if you don't wash, so anyone with it probably has tons of spots and greasy hair too so it's not like it's an issue.[/QUOTE]

-snip- See what I did there?

Wow.. This is probably one of the dumbest discussions ever on this forum "Girls like it more" "girls I know like it" well in Europe circumcision isn't popular and I don't see girls complaining or asking anyone to get circumcised. Seems like either they're just used to it, or you're making shit up (just guessing since I wouldn't say talking about cut or uncut dicks is a nice subject to talk about) "dick cheese" you get smelly if you don't wash, but it's OK, at least you won't get dick cheese, right? "less place to get cancer" following that logic all women should remove their breast to prevent breast cancer

[QUOTE=Trogdon;29490579]No, because that is not the same thing. Tattooing babies is not a religious practice of any culture. You also have to consider that tattoos are reacted to differently (socially) than a cut foreskin.[/QUOTE] Tattooing is a religious practice of many indigenous cultures and both are permanent physical modifications so you can't argue they're different The only way out of this is to either say you're okay with tattooing a baby (in which case I will attack you relentlessly) or say you're a hypocrite (in which case I will attack you but not very relentlessly)

I'm quite happy being cut

Does anyone even realize the parents choose whether to have it done or not? Its not like they cut every baby.

love how this topics always end up with people fighting over dicks

you know you people are right the foreskin should be cut off, it's just pointless! that's why I also had my child's little toes and toenails removed, what purpose do they serve? nothing but another thing to get an infection on!

...You can grow your foreskin back so why this conversation even needs to happen is beyond me. Dumb me all you want, doctors have done this. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreskin_restoration[/url]

On the other hand the only main use of foreskin is only to protect the glan (head), but, if you are cut it wont hurt. So this is sort of a null argument.

[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;29484406] Plus that flap of skin is one less thing to get cancer on.[/QUOTE] With that logic you might as well cut off your buttocks too to lessen the risk of cancer :v:

I'm cut and I can't imagine it being any more sensitive without it hurting to touch :v:

It should be the person's choice, when they become an adult (or possibly even a teenager) and they decide they want to mutilate their penis, then they can do so. Parents shouldn't force their infants to have it done to them at birth.

What about if it's for medical reasons?

The law passes and then idiots start doing it in their own home with a pair of scissors and their kids dick is permanently fucked up. :v: Rednecks

I would rather be circumsized while I was a baby not a fucking adult, that shit would hut and I don't want to risk losing my dick. Also saying "it shouldn't be the parent's choice", so you would rather make the kid make decisions about everything when he is fucking 3 minutes old? It starts with this, and you know whats next? "Oh hurr durr, I'm a fucking retard and I want my kid to choose a name for himself" or "I think my kid should go off and make all decisions because that's responsible parenting" Fuck off, parents have control over their kids until they are 18.

ITT: Apparently taking off a small piece of skin = Mutilated Get real people.

[QUOTE=xxncxx;29492463]ITT: Apparently taking off a small piece of skin = Mutilated Get real people.[/QUOTE] Now someones gonna come in with the like dictionary definition of it trying to be all smart and shit :v:

[QUOTE=xxncxx;29492463]ITT: Apparently taking off a small piece of skin = Mutilated Get real people.[/QUOTE] Yeah, get real people. There's no problem with cutting skin off of my newborn child without his or her permission. I can cut off their fucking eyelids and it wouldn't be morally wrong at all because I made them.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;29492492]Now someones gonna come in with the like dictionary definition of it trying to be all smart and shit :v:[/QUOTE] Yes unfortunately. Seriously though, people are somewhat exaggerating what it is and isn't. Its cutting off a piece of skin off the penis, not chopping your dick off.

Also, I'm not saying its okay to do either of these things, I'm just saying that people aren't using the word mutilation in its correct sense. (I'm agreeing with your point by the way, don't take it as agreeing with what you said literally.)

Why are you dumb fucks comparing cultures? Reality check: YOU AREN'T BETTER NOR INFERIOR IF YOU HAVE A CUT/UNCUT DICK /c Some cultures it is the norm to have a circumcision. In others, not so prevalent. If some coutries, people wear veils for religious purposes, again this just varies from area to area. Since there are obviously more uncut people here than otherwise why don't we agree to disagree?

I didn't choose to be white or to have black hair. You guys are going to teach your kids that science is better than religion (which I agree with) but you aren't gonna ask them what they want first, are you? I see no problem with it, it's a surgery and has almost no negative effects.

Also, unless you are a homo (no slur intended) why does it matter what another man thinks of your dick?

It's just cause this is the only chance they have to wave their dick around.

[QUOTE=Earthen;29484399]You lose a lot of sensitivity if you get your dick circumcised.[/QUOTE] And the extra skin probably helps to make your dick seem bigger.

What are you stupid? Foreskin has a fuckton of nerves, it will hurt like hell. It's just that while you're a newborn, you won't remember, even if they removed your toenails.
