Just cause we're not posting doesn't mean we're not lurking. I've taken names and statements and intend to forward them to the Board Of Education.

true, camle has been conspicuously absent today, which may mean he has secreted himself somewhere with the camera....

From a strictly professional standpoint, circumcision offers protection from transmitting and contracting certain diseases such as Human Papilloma Virus (a major contributor to cervical cancer) and HIV. Carcinoma of the penis seldom, if ever, occurs in circumcised men.

And what is it that we are doing we no boys about?
To: CholeraJoe
You make my point very well. Though a bit dryly.

Here's a quote from a recent journal article. SCC stands for Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Penile SCC is rare in some populations, such as Jewish and Muslim, who practice circumcision during the neonatal period and between the ages of 4 and 9 years, respectively. [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] Its occurrence is also rare among the Ibos of Nigeria, who also ritually circumcise males on the eighth day after birth. [23] Another study of two Indian populations, Hindu and Muslim, has shown striking differences. Of a total of 1193 penile SCC cases analyzed, only 0.02% were in Muslims [24] who, in contrast to Hindus, perform circumcision on children. [24] A similar picture has been found in Bali, a Hindu island in Indonesia that has a predominant Muslim population. [25] In Australia a statistically significant increase in penile SCC has been noted during the last decade. This appears to be related to a reduction of neonatal circumcisions during the past 40 years. [26]Among patients with penile SCC, the ratio between uncircumcised and circumcised was approximately 5000:1. [20] Newborn circumcision is estimated to be 99.9% effective in eliminating cancer of the penis, [20] whereas late circumcision probably does not provide the same level of protection.

well i didn't think twice about circumcising xsboy, for just those kinds of reasons. xshub was in total agreement. those that would equate this with female circumcisions in the middle east are full of crap.
