Off Topic Circumcision

Why would I hate that?
I am racking my brain trying to think if I know anyone whom I know to be circumcised.
I am assuming every Muslim I have ever known is.
Only person I can think of whom I know 100% is an Irish Catholic friend of mine I went to school with.
Maybe his parents did it for hygiene reasons then.
If anything thats dumber. If you believe your child will go to hell if he has a foreskin, whilst I find that bizarre, if thats your core belief, I can atleast understand why you would choose to do it.
But because it gets dirty? Just crazy.

 

the egyptians did it

it goes back all the way to ancient times

 

Jews and Muslims are brothers (half brothers)
Abraham was their father wonder why they are fighting.

 

Years ago it was done to baby boys as a matter of course, parents probably didn't even know why they did it. The father was circumcised so he did the same for his sons. It wasn't a long, thought out process. Like I said earlier, in some countries baby girls have their ears pierced before their 2nd birthday [or something like that an Italian friend told me ages ago can't remember the details]. Why before that birthday and not after, I don't know, it's part of the culture and like a lot of things we don't understand, we judge them by our standards. We had a thread a while ago about arranged marriage and again we don't understand it so judge it by our cultural acceptance.

 

Then having kids ears pierced should also be illegal

Is it a religious, medical or vanity?

Wither way putting holes in body parts should be banned until an agree age of consent of circumcision should be banned.

There, that's put the discussion to bed

 

How do you circumcise a whale?

Usually when the season ends we get some ridiculous threads on this site. I would just like to say that I think this thread is a cut above the usual bollocks we get here, literally.

 

Meant to ask you has your grandchild arrived yet?

 

Yes she has. Now 12 weeks old and getting a great personality.

 

Congratulations. Our little fella is just starting to talk - so cute.

 

Yes.. yes it is mutilation and it is a ****ing horrendous practice. I thank god (the one I don't believe in) for being a whole man. Circumcision should be punishable by law, a parent should NOT have the right to make such a disgusting call, even on their own child.

If adults want to get circumcised that's a whole different matter. Their body, their choice. Babies do not have the choice, once it's done, it's done.

 

You will have to watch what you say around him as they pick up words really quickly once they start. Best not watch LFC for a few seasons...don't want him picking up to many swear words!

 

So true. They live in the north east so don't get to see them as much as we'd like either. Thank goodness for Skype
