My guess is cut is all they know...they have most likely never seen an intact penis...they just know all the BS that is passed around the mutilating community. They don't prefer cut penises..they are just scared of intact ones...you always fear what you don't understand.

My response to people who say they cut their baby because they prefer it that way is too give them a look of shock and ask when they intend to start using their son's penis.

I like this! It's similar to my response to guys who say they "much prefer" that their parents had them circumcised as an infant. Huh?!? I deadpan and say, "That's great! What didn't you like about your penis before you were cut?"

"it is up to me what kind of child raising method I use."

Said to me in regard to circ. It sounded like "I choose punishment when I feel right about it."

:Puke

Yes and everyone's idea of punishment can be different and many times even scary. Like spanking a six month old or close fist smacking. Children are not possessions.

Hernia's have absolutely nothing to do with genitals at all, and my grandmother once had one, I guess because we didn't circumcise her!
I was born with double hernias. Guess they just didn't know that all they had to do was a *simple* circ.
What a stupid thing to say.


I also hate the nursing home excuse. So much better to hack off a babies genitals than to teach a nurses aid to gently retract and rinse.

KIDDING...I promise....don't bonk people for saying poorly thought out arguments.
That's fabulous! Are you sure we can't just bonk a few people? Just a couple? Please?

So why did I bother? Why didn't I leave them crying in their swings and take a long hot bath? They wouldn't remember anyway.
Unfortunately mainstream society wouldn't have the least bit of trouble with leaving a baby screaming and taking a hot bath. Case in point, CIO.
