Are you circumcised?

[Siege]

Ok, since I am asuming you mean american by birth, I voted as rest of the world.

And since you are an Euro, you probably don't see me as a "real" american, anyway.

I'm guessing it'll be a North American - European divide.

Anyway like most Euros, I'm not circumcised.

Define american.

Not you.

Don't worry, the rest of us don't, either.  Only your Chinese overlords do.

Here's an interesting map of where people are circumcised.  South Korea sticks out like an uncircumcised penis.

I wonder why?

Fuck you, bitch.

I have carried these colors on my shoulder into hell and back.

I might speak with an accent, but this is my country!

[Barrister]

Don't worry - you're all American to me Seigey.

Damn traitors, the whole damn country.

I wonder why?

I'd guess US influence from missionaries and during the war.

Well, whatever the reason, at least I'll be viewed as normal there.

Also, why is Kashmir marked on that map. 

[Monoriu]

I wonder why?

From what I've heard, it is a relatively recent thing, only started after the Korean war.  Some people believed that it had medical and sexual benefits.  Very soon the whole nation believed it.  Koreans are very, very social animals.  If it is accepted social norm, it will be done.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the high circumcision rate in South Korea and its rapid increase in the short period since its introduction.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS: From January to December 2000, 5434 South Korean males (or their parents) aged 0-92 years were interviewed in detail about their circumcision status, their age at circumcision, and the possible effect of circumcision on their sexuality. In addition, 267 practicing medical doctors were surveyed.

RESULTS: Currently the circumcision rate for high-school boys is > 90% and for those over 70 years old is < 10%. The circumcision rate in 1945 was < 0.1%. When averaged over the whole population, the present South Korean circumcision rate is approximately 60%; the rate has increased dramatically with time and particularly in the past 20 years, when the estimated number of male circumcisions has exceeded the number of male births. Although circumcision in South Korea has been strongly influenced by American culture, it has never been predominantly neonatal. The age at circumcision has continued to decrease and boys are now circumcised at approximately 12 years old.
