A quote from the above article.
This is not a secret. HBO has even had a documentary about it WITH PICTURES of adults that had complications from circumcisions.
I’ve even seen stories about it on local news.
When there is a knife, there are botches. It’s human nature. Mistakes happen. Ever get a bad haircut? … yeah, bad example. but some of these Docs treat the procedure with the same amount of casualness as a haircut.
It is NOT A LAW or a requirement in America. It is optional.
The intentions on creating a thread like this on a dream forum created from Europe is unclear to me, and the responses to it sicken me more than the content of the intial post.
holy reality, I understand your rage and concern, but wouldn’t your efforts towards bettering the situation have more effect if you worked locally. The topic created here has more of a theme “another reason to hate America.” If you really want to help America, this situation, and help American baby boys, then shouldn’t you reach out to those on a local level. Not a European/International dream forum.
Geeze, some will have nightmares now!
odd2k, in 200 years the country and it’s people has revolutionized the world, and has brought a new standard of living to all of humanity. An evolutionary leap faster than any time in history. Years of the Bush agenda has ruined the unity we once had with the world. I can understand if the world takes Bush as an example of Americans we look pretty stupid, but don’t forget about the luxuries you use right now brought to you by Americans. Does this sound arrogant, maybe, but it’s true. Change happens quickly here, and we address and correct our weaknesses. Weaknesses should not be compared with stupidity.
Kimius, I feel I would be wasting time spending my effort replying to you. “Mindless morons barely worthy of being called humans”
Someone that makes a comment like that doesn’t deserve my time for a debate.
Just a little over 200 years ago the world wasn’t experiencing the freedoms we have now. America has set an example and the World has followed. We are all lemmings. . … and therefore (I’m rubber, you’re glue. whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you! )
Most of the reasons for circumcisions are for cosmetic reasons. Our American society thinks of “uncircumcised” as “unattractive” and “gross.” When discussed in everyday conversation I find that most American Woman in my area are unattracted to a uncircumcised penis. It is NOT in everyday coversation that we talk about our numb butchered peni, nor do we have some castrated he/she cousin named “Pat.”
It’s a THOUSANDs of years practice and sure hasn’t slowed down our reproduction. It started as a religious practice the world over. It is not “an American” thing. If this is someone’s excuse to “beat on America” then you should be ashamed. It’s not always “Americas fault” or “the government’s fault” or “somebody else fault”
boo hoo!
take responsiblity
try a little harder for yourself
speak your own mind
Just please stop beating up on the what you suspect is the cause!
START DOING WHAT YOU KNOW HELPS!
don’t sit, moan and bitch and act like the world is falling apart.
in America, change happens when enough voices are heard.
and, if you don’t want a circumcision, you say “doc, I don’t want to circumcise my son”
SIMPLE AS THAT
It’s almost humorous to hear that people think of American males as half castrated numb-penis guys running around pleasureless. It really is comical in a grotesque and ludicrous way. Circumcision, as old as history itself … are the American’s fault.
Where is this God guy. … I heard somebody say it was HIS fault!
