BF2S Forums What do you think of circumscission?

I'm circumsized, its not mutiltion, it actually looks better plus it is easier to keep clean so chances of infection is lower. It's not my religion but my son will be cirscumsized. All my girlfriends have always said it looks better so I don't see why you shouldn't.

Same

If god created us, why would he do such an error that we have to fix? The rest of our body is so perfect (given you don't have any physical disorders)

This poll is completely biased.. dont vote on it..

cutting off a part of someone elses body without a medical need IS mutilation.

what would you say, if someone would cut off his sons ears, because he thinks, it looks better and his head will be easier to clean?

It is funny how you refer to circumcision (yes, that's the correct spelling) as "mutilation" as if somehow this is the only modification that people make to their bodies.

• Are tattoos also to be considered mutilation
• Is piercing ears/nipples/bellybuttons, etc mutilation
• Is having teeth pulled for braces considered mutilation
• Is cutting hair or fingernails mutilation ... I mean, as the above poster so wisely observed, "If god created us, why would he do such an error that we have to fix?"

This whole "circumcision is mutilation" can be classed as nothing other than an anti-Semite position (and I'm not Jewish), for if you lobby against this then you must also lobby against all the other things I list above ... yet, these opponents do not.

I've witnessed two circumcisions, and it is an incredibly minor "mutilation" ... one kid didn't even seem to notice ... my kids cry WAY MORE when they are getting their hair cut.

All of the above is something that you actually have something to say about.

AFAIK hair and fingernail's growth acceleration increases when you cut them, so maybe if you never did it in the first place you might not need to do it?

As I child, I didn't have anything to say about teeth getting pulled or my hair getting cut.  My parents must have mutilated me ... I specifically recall screaming in massive pain because a dentist did not anesthetize me before pulling out one of my teeth.

Are tattoos also to be considered mutilation? - Yes

Is piercing ears/nipples/bellybuttons, etc mutilation? - Yes

Is having teeth pulled for braces considered mutilation? - Technically, yes I suppose it is.

Is cutting hair or fingernails mutilation? - No, it's maintenance. Foreskins don't grow back.

lol - Anti-Semitic?

My issues with circumcision have nothing to do with religion, although could be loosely connected. I disagree with circumcision because it is done to a child who has no say in the matter, it is similar to the disapproval I feel for those who indoctrinate their children with religious dogma from an early age.

I don't think anything should be forced upon children until they are old enough to make proper decisions of their own.

QFT

I have always found that this is a very difficult argument to be able to decide my opinion on.  I have often found that when I drift more toward the idea that, from a religious stand point it is seen as necessary, there is nothing wrong with it, but then I am also in conflict then with the idea that it should be that person's decision whether or not they would want the procedure carried out.  Medically there have been studies showing that, yes it does lower the risk of infection, but then again, I am sure that this could be remedied with the appropriate level of sexual awareness when it comes to being able to clean yourself.  Not enough is really done I feel in terms of sexual education about this matter, but then again, I do now feel that it ought to be carried out with only that person's permission, and understanding of the matter, rather than it being done without their consent.

The 'easier to clean' argument is bullshit. Any retard should be able to clean his penis, circumsized or not. I'm not letting anyone cut off a piece of my penis, and I'm sure as hell not going to do it to my son.

Well I know a family with 3 boys, the first two were circumsised - no problems, the third wasn't... he's been to the doctor several times due to infections (poor little fella).

EDIT: And yes, they clean it.
