Yeah, mutilating babies is great politics.

Oh good, this topic again. I'll definitely check back later to read all of the interesting new opinions that I've never seen posted on Fark before.

Don't eat the free onion rings.

lordaction: Yeah, mutilating babies is great politics.

Mutilation?

Is any kind of body mod a mutilation?

Would you consider a parent getting a child's ears pierced before they could consent mutilation?

Circumcision is a euphemism for genital mutilation.

Those kids look farking thrilled.

Congratulations, you have found a grey area. Its not going to help you escape the fact that removing a healthy part of someones body when they are a helpless baby is a horrible thing to do.

Never eating Spaghetti-O's again. Thanks, subby.

Then again, I'm not sure I've ever bought them in the first place.

Christ, Subby.

Technically, YES. Mutilation is Mutilation. The only thing that actually sets the two apart are the standards of the communities in which they are viewed. Same exact theory applies to domestic violence and the legality and/or social acceptance of it within the community where it takes place. Some cultures say it's OK, but their justification doesn't change the fact that Domestic Violence is an Act of Violence. Just as our justifications on specific or all "Body Modifications" doesn't change the fact that they are Acts of Mutilation.

Any other questions there, Skippy?

BillSmith70: Do you know what they do with the small piece of skin that was circumcised?

Dogfood.

grossest headline ever.

Ohhh Lordy, with that post we could take this discussion in a whole new, even more shiatstormy direction. I'll abstain.

Grey area? So punching a hole in it is cool, but removing is not?

right, because a pierce through an ear is the same as cutting off a portion of a sex organ

I don't know. That's why I asked. Is a question that bothers people hard to answer without being a cock?

No, Dooshy. That was perfect. Though I wonder which side of the standards of the community get to make it right or wrong?

Wait patiently, and I'm sure that soon, someone very opinionated (and always wrong) will make this thread all about him.

Yes. Unequivocally, and without the sugar coating some other posters are putting on it.

Muslim circumcisions generally occur around seven, so if you're gonna split hairs to make your point, these are not babies being mutilated - the Jews mutilate babies; the Muslims mutilate second-graders

I'm circumcised and I am happy about it. Who the fark wants to run around with a dick that looks like a banana. You going to tease a monkey with your dick?

Thanks for the information, though I would have appreciated it more without the asinine implication that i am splitting hairs.

And then have old dudes suck on their penises (new window)

Probably the ones who hold the most control over the community itself and through their power are able to implement/push/enforce their values onto everyone else, and thus define the "standards" of said community. Glad I could help there, Fruity Ass.

1) Do you enjoy the tactile feedback that your finger tips provide? A super nerve dense area of skin that allows your hands to actually feel things? Imagine if as a baby someone came along and shaved off all of your finger tips so that you'd look like your dad. Do you think you'd get the same tactile feedback as someone with 'unshaved' fingers?

You wouldn't know any different. As far as you know that's how fingers are supposed to work.

2) On "Ribbed for her Pleasure" condoms where the heck do you think 'rib' was supposed to come from? You get yours from a box, mine's built in.

I believe that's referred to as a Lemon Party.

Well I, for one, am totally happy my genitals were mutilated as an infant to appease an angry, jealous god that I have no desire to worship.

But what about the monkey teasing?

I'm circumcised and I couldn't care any less, even after all the armchair human rights advocates here whined about it.

Lovelight: grossest headline ever.

I'll second that. Barf.

fark off and whine about something else.

99% of cut men don't really give a damn. The remaining 1% are whiny biatches. 1% of those, might have a legitimate concern.
Get over it, and put your energy towards word hunger or global warming.

oh and my original reason coming here was to comment on the nastiness of the headline. Yeesh. Well done, Subby.

BillSmith70: Do you know what they do with the small piece of skin that was circumcised?

Make wallets that turn into suitcases when you rub on them.

shouldn't that be spelled "spaghetti-oes"?

I'll pass on the sensitivity thing. Last thing i need is to go from the 10 minute wonder to the 5 minute wonder.

Also, I don't want to go through the motions of peeling a fruit roll-up every time I take a leak.

You know how I know you haven't used an uncircumcised penis.

If thats the case, I'd hate to know how long I'd last if i was uncircumsised. I dont last long enough as it is.

Fark is the one place I consistently encounter sexual self-deprecation. It is so hilarious to hear guys openly mocking their own incompetence, impotence, and insufficience. It makes me laugh every single time. Thanks for making this a less crappy day. (Fridays got less special when I started working from home. Boo hoo, right?)

I was actually bragging...

Why do women love men who've been cut?

They can't resist something that is 10% off

Actually IMHO calamari would have been more gross. Now that I've thought of that I will never look at calamari the same again.

This. And that's before we discuss issues of cleanliness. Who wants to run around with a jock strap smell generator

Commenting that you are happy without your foreskin or bringing up trivial hygiene issues is completely missing the point. If you want to mutilate your body for aesthetic reasons or because you cant be bothered to apply soap to it regularly that is your right as an adult.

It is still horrible to impose it on a child.
