[Opinions] Re: Everything seemed to be ok for a while

Circumcising is supposed to prevent males from getting certian deseases. I'm not sure which ones, but everyone I know has gotten their baby boys circumcized. It's not a religious thing at all as far as I know, just safety.

Actually I did read an article saying that the rates of transmission of the AIDS virus were less in circumcized men then in uncircumcized men. If I can find the link I'll post it.

I actually went through this argument with my momWhen she found out my ex was uncut. She went ahead and went through the research (she's a nurse at a pretty well-known and respected hospital) and discovered that was incorrect.I also went ahead and did research, checking and rechecking. I spoke to several people. All of it proved that it was incorrect

In Europe men have managed quite well without circumcisionAnd the same goes for Asia (apart from Muslim areas). So I really think this is incorrect and more old (bad imo) tradition.After all, female circumcisions is also a bad tradition. We condemn this but without condemning male circumcision, it is a bit hypocritical. Surgery without medical reasons in both cases."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
