I said it is a painful procedure but if preformed while an infant. they won't remember it.

Probably no more painful than slapping him in the face to get the baby to breath. The problem nowadays is this urge to avoid pain at all costs, even if the pain involved is very low level. What do you want to do? Ban spanking? That is painful too... And probably a lot more painful than circumcision.

The ironic thing is that by avoiding circumcision soon after birth a lot of people are condemning their sons to suffer a hell of a lot of pain later in life when they do decide to get circumcised.

I said nothing about banning it because it is painful. I said it is painful but not remembered if done at a very young age. My husband and I made an informed decision to have our son circumcised 23 years ago. If we were to have another son now, I think we would make the same decision.

Umm, what do you spank your children with that you can assert this? I think once again, this is not a reasonable argument on your part.

Trying to put a guilt trip on people is not going to work my friend. In general I've found MOST of the people who choose to keep thier sons intact in the US are better read on the subject and as someone who scrutinized the evidence, I could not find compelling evidence to have it done to my son, nor could I find a compelling number of intact men knocking thier urologists(?) door down to perform the procedure for them in adulthood.
