		<description>good ranting about not being circumsised and i agree that infants shudnt even be cut at birth. When they get older they can make that choice when they know what they want to do.  I mean come on its not fair to people who parents choose to get cut. Luckily i wasnt those who got cut at birth.n In my teenage years i went through low self esteem about my penis being uncut. I was the only one in my family that wasnt cut. Why ? i would never know. But when i turned around 15 i decided i wanted to get ct ut. I had sex without being cut and then when i got cut. the sex is no diffrent. Main thing was it was my choice to get circumsised . Doctors should persuade parents to wait till they children are old enough  to decide what they want to do</description>

		<description>You are aware that uncut penises build up filth that cut penises don&#039;t?

You know, cause there&#039;s no where for it to build up. Look just cause your parents didn&#039;t get you circumcised when you were a kid doesn&#039;t mean you need to write this dumbass rant to justify your obscene and most likely filthy dick.

Also how the hell does religion not justify getting circumcision done? If someone wants their kid cleaned up what the fuck is it to you?

Obvious uncut fag is obvious, get out of here with your stupid argument. You clearly don&#039;t know anything about pleasuring a woman so why even try arguing over it.</description>

		<description>I really like your rant! I&#039;m glad that you clarified that it was, and I agree, those are really horrible reasons, and that the &#039;religion&#039; one is the best! At least it isn&#039;t supposed to be &#039;rational&#039;!

I&#039;m planning to do a dry, logical, and witty and tasteful and rational and scientific argument on my website, as well as expand on it with my own experiences in this culture, which are quite... baffling. You would find them amusing, I&#039;m sure. Here&#039;s a sampling:

First off, when I was a teenager I didn&#039;t know that penises had foreskins, because they were missing from my anatomy books and stuff.

My first realization that anything was missing was when I was about 20 and this guy told me he was circumcised and I wondered what that meant, and then he told me all this stuff that I later found wasn&#039;t true, thanks to the library. That&#039;s how I got into this whole thing.

Later on, I interviewed this guy who was talking about being circumcised as a teenager and how badly it had affected his sex life (it was a rather extensive one) and how he was depressed for two years.

I used all this in discussing this with other people who have just brought it up out of the blue. I was prepared, but my arguments never reached them.

I&#039;ve had an &quot;It&#039;s okay, we&#039;re all different&quot; religious woman getting her son circumcised in my backyard, practically, because of her conversion (not his!) I&#039;ve had a crazy pregnant girl scream at me for saying anything &quot;It&#039;s MY CHILD!&quot; and stormed out of the room, I&#039;ve also had these two girls who had never met one another start talking about it and tell me that it&#039;s a good idea to circumcise infants because then they don&#039;t know what they&#039;re missing when they&#039;re older, and that it would be okay if their clitorises had been chopped off at birth for the same reasons. You know, because they wouldn&#039;t know to be upset about it -- and they both thought that despite never having met before!

Judging from the responses I get from people on issues on this and a myriad other things, I have come to the conclusion that most people are lazy idiots. That&#039;s why I&#039;m building a website to help make people&#039;s brains better, so that I won&#039;t be quite as lonely, as long as I can persuade people to get into it.

Oh, and I came across your rant because I&#039;m actually going to write an ENGLISH PAPER on this subject. Can I pull it off? Only time will tell....  Hoo hooo hoooooooo!</description>

		<description>Great rant but you left out &quot;A boy should look like his father&quot;. My answer, http://www.circumstitions.com/Images/looklike.gif

If a father still thinks that, let him restore his own foreskin - and how about hair removal and penile reduction surgery to make the resemblance complete? That argument is all about the father&#039;s anxieties, not the son&#039;s. A son&#039;s reaction when he learns why they&#039;re different  is more likely to be &quot;Poor daddy!&quot;

There&#039;s another answer on &quot;It looks better/Women prefer it&quot;: times change and tastes change, and nobody knows what people will think looks better or women (or men) will prefer 20 years from now. With circumcision now down to about 55% in the US, whole willies (if you&#039;re British, dicks if you&#039;re not) are going to be a lot less unfamiliar 20 years down the track. Not only that, but he might move somewhere circumcision is not the norm, or simply grow up to wish he had all he was born with. How DARE anyone try to second-guess him on anything so intimate, based on THEIR preference?</description>

		<description>I can definitely hop on the anti-circumcision band wagon having had it done to me at birth. I think the vast majority of circumcisions are for cultural reasons -- the other reasons are definitely used by those in denial though after its done to them.</description>

		<description>I wasn&#039;t trying to change anyone&#039;s mind with this, really, though that would be nice. I just felt like ranting, and I thought it was entertaining enough to post.</description>

		<description>I enjoyed this article a bunch - but I&#039;m already a member of the Intactivist camp.  I wonder how many of the &quot;undecided&quot; people will read this without stopping halfway through, labeling you a radical zealot and dismissing your opinions completely.

Preaching to the choir is easy, mate.  Changing minds requires etiquette, moderation and tact.  Which are you trying to do here?</description>

		<description>Great rant. There are no valid reasons to cut off the sex organs of a baby boy. I really wish I had not been circumcised at birth. I spent too many years having sex with only part of dick. Fortunately, I found out about foreskin restoration and it is making things a lot better. If men only knew how much better sex is with a full sex organ, infant circumcision would stop immediately.</description>
