I'm also rather wary of making irreversible and unnecessary choices on behalf of children.

But those happen all the time. Sure they don't involved a minor surgical procedure, but they are still made.

Give me an example that would be equivalent of removing a part of the body.

I would think that raising a child in religion, which language you speak to them, where you send them to school, whether you read to them or not, what kind of food you feed them - all are far more important than the presence of absence of a foreskin.

Ok so you are comparing a chop job to decisions related to withholding food and education.  I think my work here is done.

Try again.

Are you seriously telling me that a decision about whether to buy a bananna or an apple is equivalent to choping off a body part.  No wonder you were able to do it with that kind of justification in mind.  ;)

From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate circumcision, the male body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

That certainly flies in the face of what my doctors have been telling me <_<

It is clearly common enough to be mentioned when one is performed for whatever reason.

I am seriously telling you that consistently feeding your child bananas and apples, rather than candy bars and ice cream, is far more important to a child than the presence or absence of a foreskin.   :)

Okay, CC-troll. Time to get back in your cage. Scoot now. :)

I listened to my body and it told me that you are wrong.

Seedy clearly just wanted to reference Akin for an unknown reason.

I only wish I was able to chop off a few fingers and toes.  The fewer body parts the little guy has to worry about the better.

I could go all Burkean and tell you why tradition is an excellent reason to do something...
Max believes exactly the opposite.

We often disagree on this.  :ph34r:
Do you feel that his background in traditionalist cults might have some effect on him in this regard?

Ah crap I missed that.  Good one Seedy.

Yes, as I said, I'm wary of, not necessarily opposed to.
