I felt like stirring the pot a little bit. lol

How long will it take papi to post, I wonder?


Pediatricians' group shifts in favor of circumcision
In its first new policy statement since 1999 on the contentious issue, the American Academy of Pediatrics says the procedure's medical benefits outweigh the risks.

Interesting post, thanks Vash. I occasionally wonder if we made the right choice on this.

I still contend that the guys who try to grow back their foreskin are emotionally unstable wankers. haha

Another 100 years and America will be a jewish/islamic hotpot. State sanctioned assaults on children under the guise of protection from hiv. ****ing laughable. Its sad that people will read that and believe that propaganda. I would have thought the best way to not catch hiv, is not pump mens asses, but hey, im old fashioned like that.

I know, let's all mutilate children without their consent for no ****ing good reason at all. There are millions of uncircumcised guys out there who have no health problems at all. ****ing idiots.

Aww, don't be mad, guys! I can help fix your penises, if you'd like.

No, petite pappilon. Doppel is too annoying to bait.

This thread makes me think of that scene in Meet the Fockers. When the nub of his nunu ends up in the fondue. Hilarious.

Speaking of movies, saw this the other night. Think you'd like it (if you haven't already seen it).

to circumcise or not...

Jewish and Muslim organisations stage a joint protest in Berlin over a regional court's ruling that the circumcision of young boys constituted bodily harm.

It's a matter of "harm" vs. benefit. American pediatricians are now publicly in favor.

I find this really interesting, considering I was reading on another forum that they have been using foreskins to grow larger patches of skin from to test cosmetics on. Yes they also use foreskins for skin grafting for burns victims, so it's not just purely cosmetic. A human foreskin can go for as much as $600, as long as it's 'harvested' before 3 months of age.

So, personally I don't think this issue has as much to do with the health of our boys as we would like it to.

It's not a matter of harm vs benefit at all - it's a matter of not doing unnecessary, irreversible surgery on the gentles of people without their consent. If boys want to cut off bits of their penis let them do it when they're old enough to make that decision themselves, give them the chance to do their own harm vs benefit analysis. I've no idea why Americans still insist on doing this to their children. For some reason calling something a cultural or religious practice gives it a social licence, disgusting.
