I are open to argument. I are even open to invective. But when someone descends to "imbecile" in a post I just have to draw the line and borrow Slappys purse anvil.
I think the phrase is either "ka-ching" or "kaboom." Not sure.
Your point about the article, on the other hand, is something I clearly missed. The authors have clearly covered themselves on the question I raised (arguments on that are a seperate matter). The poster, on the other hand...
Victim of "Giant Cons" ??? Too bad.
Most women prefer a german helmet over a turtle neck any how... quit cryin about it...
Well then, site some.
Muslims don't cut enough off.
Sorry man but I'm gonna call that one wrong. There are a lot of nerves in the foreskin, take it away and you are going to lose SOMETHING. However all is not lost.
On the bonus side, you are going to last longer, it's going to put more friction to her (more feeling), it's cleaner, it looks neater and finally .... your hand (or her hands) won't slip off the end.
Well, let's put a scalpel next to your foreskin and have that doctor with a glint in his eye and a swish in his wrist. I PROMISE you that your mind would all of a sudden focus on this huge, life threatening issue at hand. :)
GREEN BAY BABY
A Green Bay Packers Fan is drinking in a New York bar when, he gets a call on his cellphone.
He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everybody in the bar announcing his wife has produced a typical Green Bay baby boy weighing 25 pounds.
Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the Packer fan just shrugs, "That's about average back home, folks, like I said, my boy's a typical Green Bay baby boy.
Congratulations showered him from all around, amid many exclamations of "WOW!". One woman actually fainted due to sympathy pains.
Two weeks later, he returns to the bar. The bartender says, "Say, you're the father of that typical Green Bay baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth.
Everybody's been making bets about how big he'd be in two weeks. So how much does he weigh now?"
The proud father answers, "Seventeen pounds."
The bartender is puzzled, concerned, and a little suspicious. "What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born!"
The Green Bay father takes a slow swig from his Leinkugel's beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says,
"Had 'im circumcised!"
Maybe you should be banned worldwide.
I'm glad my parents made the right call. By this standard, piercing your ears is barbaric.
Let's ban people that decide what to ban on everyone else's behalf.
Wasn't it CS Lewis who said he'd take a robber baron over a moralist any day as s fascist autocrat? He reasoned that the robber baron's interest in running everyone's lives might ebb and flow, but the moralist sees no end or rest in doing right.
Oh no, it's another circumsion thread.
Plus, it's just nasty.
I had the job done when over 50 due to accident injury---sex has never been as good since they cut nerves and claim they will grow back in time----baloney---might be ok when a baby with years to 'grow back'?---would never do to any kid if I had the say about it
ROTGLMAO!!!!
It has started, again.
Ummmm I thought it was a uniquely JEWISH RELIGIOUS "enigma".
Be that as it may, I'm not Jewish and they did it to me when I was eight days old.....I couldn't walk for nearly a year!
My father was raised on an Iowa farm with 6 brothers in the 1920s and 1930s to Italian immigrant parents, obviously a-religious.Neither he nor any of his brothers were circumcised. I am eternally grateful to my parents for not having me circumcised, although it was so "different" , that I was self-conscious for years in the locker-room at school---there is no way to cover up your penis and not look like a dork, so I remember I would pull up the skin surreptitiously moments before I thought it would be exposed to the eyes of members of my gym class. HOWEVER, I know what desensitization is, and my thesis is that, however an uncircumcised penis may be the father of premature ejaculation, an uncircumcised penis is an organ that basically is getting desensitized 24 hours a day, and MAY contribute some of the more unfortunate
sexual habits of the American male.
Circumcision may not have been "a way of life" then as it has become today---and maybe a poor farm family of 6 boys had better things to do with its scant money than pay for "extras" like circumsion---there are no doubt LOTS of factors contributing to they way things were then and the way they are now. And I don't soft-pedal the "barbarism" argument---it is just one factor among many, and maybe ANY ONE OF THEM could and should be enough to help get this practice on the path to unpopularity , which is where it belongs.
CORRECTION"---in the above "an uncircumcised penis is an organ that is basically getting desensitized 24 hours a day" , should of course read "a CIRCUMCISED penis is an organ....etc." making the most important distinction between an uncirc'd and a circ'd penis.
" THEY DID IT TO ME WHEN I WAS 8 DAYS OLD AND I COULDN'T WALK FOR A YEAR".---I AM SURE THAT'S AN OLD JOKE, BUT I NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE, AND IT IS A GOOD ONE!
The 'general ugliness' is plenty of reason alone, in my opinion. I'm glad I was "mutilated" and I would choose the same for my son.
