That’s disgusting.

Disgusting, yet funny. It amazes me the folks that claim a behavior is something that they were born with. You are not born with particular behaviors... they are learned.

There are much more natural, God-ordained ways to take care of our physical requirements and none of them consist of putting things where they do not belong (I was a little worried this post would be dangerous).

I don’t think the ‘strongly approve of Obama’ left will continue to strongly approve him after this. :)

I wonder if they might consider promoting the idea that men should not engage in anal sex.


I had a friendy conversation with an intelligent gay man more than a few years ago when I asked him why he thought it was reasonable to spend zillions to cure AIDS, just so he could have anal sex WITHOUT A CONDOM. He simply argued that this was important, and we should invest a fortune so he could continue without condoms.

So I’d change your prescription to a prohibition on anal sex without a condom, instead of the government goons disfiguring (in a profound way) every male baby.

How pathetic, mutilate babies because they might become gay one day. To be specific, it’s not whether there’s a foreskin on the penis that matters, it’s where you stick the penis that counts.

I have no doubt that Obamacare will cover this mutilation.

You mean that God may actually have had an additional reason (or perhaps He added the reason) for requiring circumcision? Whoda thunk it?

Circumcision also makes a transference of germs less resulting in fewer infections for the women of circumcised men.

Disclaimer: that last is something I was told by a doc a few years ago and I do not have any documentation for it.

Hissing... that’s a funny word.

I know. Are there some in the FR? If so, I may have to be careful about using words like queer, fag, homo, dyke and the like. Always the sensitive metro-sexual male, you know.

Circumcision has been known for many, many years now to reduce the chance of AIDS...


“Reduce,” as in CAUSE? Or merely correlate, in that medically advance nations have a much higher circumcision rate (and understandably low AIDS rates), while the African primitives that see infidelity as a team sport (like typical rituals with a new bride and the men of the village) tend not to have this surgical procedure?

The hard, desensitised callus skin formed on the glans because of the protective foreskin being removed might have an influence in preventing minor cuts during intercourse that might lower chances of picking up HIV and other STDs...


“Might.” But then again, since the AIDS infection rate for the “insertive” partner in essentially every scenario is virtually nil, this become an absurd solution that will have no medical benefit

But aside from HIV, there are a lot of benefits to circumcision aside from that. There is only upside to circumcision with regard to health.


There is vigorous debate about that. Chopping off an unconsenting child’s private parts SHOULD be controversial.

Pulling all a child’s teeth prevents cavities, too. Maybe teaching brushing is wiser. Let adults decide whether to disfigure themselves.

Why the hell pussy-foot around with circumcision?
Go for full-bore castration!

If they can circumcise you by force, they can just as easily castrate you!

Damn! Am I the only one who gets it??

I have been begging the surgeons to please remove my appendix. They want to wait until it becomes “acute.”

I have “chronic appendicitis” meaning it does become infected and swollen off-and-on (Margaret Hullahan in M*A*S*H had it in one show) and usually it settles down again with an antibiotic and fasting. But, it could burst and require emergency surgery.

I live in the jungle. Emergencies are not good. Wouldn’t it be better just to have the thing out?

In regards to the foreskin, God commanded the removal and it doesn’t serve any purpose. Why not remove it when there are benefits?

There a couple of articles that I would like encourage you to read to get up to speed on the subject of HIV and AIDS. Begin by reading either the Policy Review or the Reason Magazine article. Then read The Hidden Agenda Behind HIV. And finally, you might also consider watching London's Channel 4 (same people who produced The Great Global Warming Swindle) expose re: the AIDS scandal, entitled The AIDS Catch.

If you make it through these layman's resources, drop me a line and I'll send you a fairly easy to understand scientific paper on the subject that will absolutely blow your mind.

All the best--GGG
