    The blasé attitude about male circumcision really, really irritates me.

    Happen to do it to females? My goodness. Circumcision isn't strong enough of a word. Let's call it mutilation and hold a fundraiser. Little boys? Oh, well. It makes things cleaner, right? He won't notice it.

    Stop chopping up little kids. Period, end of discussion. There's absolutely no reason for males to be fixed. There's nothing wrong down there to begin with.

    And fuck you, CDC.

      Good points. What really irritates me too is the second sentence of the CDC draft recommendations:

      Such decision making is made in the context of not only health considerations, but also other social, cultural, ethical, and religious factors.

      Those are pretty abstract ideas and it is concerning that doctors will be "counseling" parents into making non-therapeutic, irreversible, life-altering decisions based on religion and social norms.

      Couldn't have said it better. Want to avoid disease? Don't sleep with shady fucking people, wear a condom, and don't stick your prick into diseased orifices... its that simple.

        Slow your roll, drunkenninja. We can't have you spouting off all of that personal responsibility crap. It makes no sense and they're not gonna go do it anyway. The only safe, sane thing to do is cut their cocks up. That will keep things all clean and tidy.

        Glad we had this talk.
