In some African tribes, it is a rite of passage for boys to be circumcised when they reach puberty. They do these procedures with NO anesthetics or drugs. It's barbaric.

I completely agree: circumcision at any age is barbaric.

(Yes, I know you probably didn't mean that although I do.)

We learned all about that from "Roots." "Perhaps you have noticed, the phalumbwebwe of a man is much different than that of a boy."

I remember the Biblical story (it's been a while since I read it), where one of the Patriarch's daughter's was raped by a neighboring tribe. The Jews threatened war, then as part of the peace treaty, demanded that all the men of the other tribe be circumcised. After the Jews circumsized them, they killed them all while they were too sore to get up and walk.
