Circumcision at birth is wrong, the medical benefits can easily be prevented with modern hygiene.

It's an awful tradition and yet we already banned female circumcision long ago. Male circumcision should only be reserved for medical problems such as phimosis.

I put this in serious because I want an actual serious discussion about this.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

God damn it... most of my rebuttals against it are comical in nature. Like, they look better and don't make cheese. You don't have to put them in your mouth, so why do you care?

Everything else just comes across as poorly as trying to defend New Earth Creationism via appeal to tradition.

I was almost expecting this to be a taboo here on Sep7 because of the inevitable shitstorm it causes. >.>

Context is very important in the debate, but Western nations mostly have the hygiene and quality of health care such that circumcision is rendered unnecessary. That's the most important thing to *get* about the debate. There's overwhelming evidence that the medical benefits do exist, and no one is denying their existence, but instead correctly arguing that the benefits have been blown way out of proportion. The arguments that circumcision is necessary in the Western world simply do not stand up to scrutiny.

Despite the overwhelming evidence that the medical benefits do exist, no one is denying their existence, but instead arguing that the benefits have been blown way out of proportion.
Problem is that these medical benefits are virtually non-existant in a first world country with decent medical institutions, and that they do not always compare to the benefits that come with not circumcising a child.

Besides, cutting off a body part to avoid unlikely problems that are usually easily treatable isn't very solid reasoning.
Yes with the same logic we should start cutting off all women's breasts to reduce the chance of breast cancer.

That's basically what I'm saying, yeah. I just realized I worded that poorly. >.>

I reworded the sentence slightly, should hopefully clear up any confusion.

I too think this is strange. Looks like we must've really gotten most of the intelligent B.net people over here, because this used to be an insanely controversial topic back there.
Or it says something about the people in the Flood compared to Serious

Now I'm curious what the people over there would think of this.

We may need to screencap this. It probably won't happen ever again.

I honestly don't give a shit. I'm circumcised and it makes no difference to me. I hold no ill will toward my parents for doing it.

I don't see why people get so angry about it. If this were female circumcision, I would understand.

My stupidity is self evident.
It's a pretty dumb tradition I hold no ill will to my parents for it but it's not a thing I would do to my kids.

How can you say it makes no difference if you've never experienced being uncircumcised?

Because I just don't care if it's circumcised or not. Would I do it to myself? Probably not, especially not as an adult.

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.

I fully agree. It's a barbaric and moronic practice that has no place in the developed world.

Also, "female circumcision" is a really dumb term that you shouldn't use.

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."

It is, but his post is perfectly fine.

Well it's haram, but it's not against the rules >.>
Joking is allowed in here, but it just has to be in moderation.

I wasn't joking.

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

Just because you don't see it as a problem doesn't mean it's not a problem.
