I was kidding, dude. But the joke was supposed to be the irony of me accepting coinflip odds with catching AIDS, not my math. :P

i got your joke, i was just being stupid :P pointing out a non-significant error avoiding the actual point sometimes amuses me. i don't know why it just does.

sometimes ppl take me to serious :S

[cundor]

Ofcourse it reduces the chances of getting HIV! In most of the cases the penis itself is reduced up to 50% of its original size!

Pure logic to me!

i kinda feel like male jewish babies are having their human rights violated.

i think it should be a choice to be circumcised

since when babies have any saying? they are on parents responsibility till they grow up...
its like saying that making abortion is againts the fetus rights :fear:

far i'm not saying the baby should be like
"wah wahaaah yea cut it whaah"

what i'm saying is this is an operation that is needless but if required could be carried out later, if your doing it as part of a religion isn't it more meaningful to make that decision yourself than have it forced upon you?

like just say i decide ear lobes are ugly and want my babies ear lobes cut off. Would that make it ok ? if it was part of my religion would that be ok?

what if i was circumcised as a baby for faith reason and grew up to not believe in said faith and wanted foreskin?

as for abortions , there are many groups that think that human fetous's do have rights and indeed that abortion should be illegal

Dr Kevin De Cock, director of the HIV/Aids department of the World Health Organization told the BBC the results were a "significant scientific advance" but were not a magic bullet and would never replace existing prevention strategies.

well PD... its complex.

i heard from some doctor that removing that little skin is nothing useful at all... but every here and there some new studies come out and says different opinions.

you ask question if its ok to do things like cutting parts you dont feel are nice or because of religous acts are justiful/
the answer is maybe not, but when its a normal act in the area, its not bad either.

and as someone who isnt beliving in god or everything related to this act, and yet passed it when i was little baby, i honestly dont care...
its just normal to live without it. you dont even remember you ever had this skin :greedy:.

as you said, there are groups who oppose it, and groups who support it. i think parents have the responsibility to decide what good for their kids.
cutting that skin doesnt really affect anything in life... i heard tho that because it contain alot of nerves, we feel less pleasure, but who knows?!

[Pressure Drop]

cutting that skin doesnt really affect anything in life...

then why do it

[FarScape]

then why do it

Because its a tradition...
and tradition, espaciely in the jewish culture, has a lot of power. it somehow helped the jews survive in the history.

i dont think about it like that tho, i honestly not sure at all if ill do it to my own boys. i wish ill have only girls :grin:

Wow. This forum is fucking terrible.
