Default wallpaper. Because wallpapers are pointless.

This is a fair response

Now, what do you like/dislike about the world
I don't like anything about the world. I don't like the people who inhabit it, nor what they choose to do with their lives. I don't like diversity and subjectivity. I don't like difference. I don't like myself very much either.

I like music, I guess. I like... intelligent conversation, but that's probably because it's so rare. I'm sure I'd get sick of that, too, if it's all I ever had when I spoke with people.

I don't really think much of you, given the information I was given.

If you've reached the bottom of the barrel with the "why should we let people give birth without consent" in a circumcision debate, you know you're on the wrong side.
Why? Because you... can't argue against the logic?...

I think having kids is wrong, for the same exact reason you seem to think circumcision is wrong.

You just seem to think that circumcision is a lot worse than, you know, life itself. I think that's petty.

Unless a medical procedure is absolutely necessary, parents should not be making the decision (When they just had a newborn) to go through with what amounts to plastic surgery - you are changing a part of the body for nothing more than cosmetic purposes.
So why's it okay to give birth to a kid without it's consent? I mean, you're giving it the capacity to feel pain and suffering and shit. Life kinda sucks when you get down to it, and you're gonna impose it on someone else? Why is that okay, but one little circumcision isn't?

I literally did in my post, which you kindly cut out.
It had very little to do with anything.
Poor comparison.

At this point, in the Western World, male circumcision is pointless. Our medicine, clean water supply, and all that has advanced to a point that the only benefit to being circumcised is you can be lazy in the shower.

Why we continue advocating for pointless medical procedures is beyond me.
I don't know what this has to do with consent. That was the crux of my post. You evaded my point, so I ignored your non-sequitur response.

Arguments should also (attempt to) make sense.
Indeed. And saying "that's preposterous" doesn't make any sense.

"He should be able to choose for himself if he wants to be circumcised!"

Sure. I would have liked the right to choose to be born. Which is impossible. Thus, anti-natalism. Stop having children, because they can't consent to be born, so it's wrong to impose life on them. Just like it's apparently wrong to cut off irritating, ugly, and gross skin off the most disgusting part of the body at birth.

Okay, kids, here's the thing.

You have to actually explain why. That's the whole idea of arguments.
There's a difference between having your parents vaccinate you as a baby for your own protection and your parents circumcision you for little benefit.
Who the fuck is talking about vaccinations? Do you know what anti-natalism is?

Because it's a loss of sexual nerves, basically genital mutilation without consent, and it can make erections painful for circumcised men since the skin can be cut very tight.
"Without consent."

So you're an anti-natalist, then? Excellent.
The consent argument is absolutely bogus. I can make the same exact argument that my parents didn't ask me if I wanted to get born in the first place. If you're gonna make any consent argument and you're not an anti-natalist, you're a hypocrite.

Basically you enjoy sex a lot less having a circumcised penis. Thankfully you don't know what you're missing so I'll leave you to delude yourself into thinking you're better off than I am. ;D
This is how you argue with everyone, isn't it? So obnoxious.

No, you're gonna have to provide hard evidence for your claims. I really don't buy the idea that foreskin makes sex better. That, to me, seems ludicrous. It's fucking... what is it? It's protective skin. Itch skin. It's not sensual skin. It has absolutely nothing to do with good sex. It's to prevent your cock from getting pricked by pricker bushes and shit--you know, the kind of stuff you're not running around in anymore? So we should KEEP artifacts for no reason?

Just because you don't see it as a problem doesn't mean it's not a problem.
No shit. Do not patronize me.

Kindly demonstrate why it's a problem.

I wasn't joking.

I don't think circumcision is a problem, based on the fact that, well, it worked out okay for me.

He is rich, lives in Florida, drives a lambo, and is like seventeen. Now humor him.

Also, "female circumcision" is a really dumb term that you shouldn't use.
I don't really think of circumcision as a problem.

Personally, I enjoy not having a baggy, vermicular dick cheese generator hanging off of my dick.
Last I checked this was Serious
And I am dead serious. I really really like not having extra shit to clean. Sometimes when I'm showering, and I'm washing that area, I say to myself, "Wow, I'm really glad I'm circumcised."

I blame Casper for this.

Like I said: Confirmation bias. "Hey, he's calling out Verbatim! I don't like Verbatim, either!"
I'm not biased towards you, nor do I see you in a negative light.

I would say the exact same thing if anyone else was doing it.
Then you'd be wrong in every single one of those occasions. Don't assume; it makes an ass out of you and me.

Thing is though, you do seem to be fishing for arguments
If that is how you perceive it to be, that's not my fault. That's your fault, for continuing to wear blinders. I get that everything associated with me is negative, but if you honestly think that I, Verbatim, guy who argues primarily about philosophy and meaning and shit like that, is going to waste his time arguing with people about Star Wars, then I'm sorry, you're delusional and heavily biased.

Guys... can we not instigate an argument about how it seems to some people that others are trying to instigate arguments?
As long as challengerX is still here, he's going to be on my ass about literally everything that I say, and it's really fair, because people tend to suffer from confirmation bias. If you didn't already like me, his incessant scrutiny over my posts will prevent them from ever coming to terms with me. He's a child.
