I'd ask every man here whose had a circumcision: Would you rather have made the choice yourself and faced the procedure tomorrow, or are you glad it's over and done with and you have no memory of it?
I would rather have been able to make the choice and not face circumcision tomorrow.
With this question, you're assuming that men with foreskins would actually choose circumcision. That's highly unlikely, since the vast majority of uncircumcised men flat-out cringe at the very idea of circumcision.
The problem here is, that the circumcised men are offered no choice, while uncircumcised men would almost never make teh choice that is made for circumcized men.
I have tons of family from Ireland, and they think it's barbaric.
But then again, they all have theirs.
The arguments about cleanliness and such are totally moot with them because, unlike the vast majority of those who support circumcision, they actually know exactly what having a foreskin entails and that teh arguments for it are almost all total bull****.
I watched a friend argue this issue with a woman who told him that it was uncleanly and that it cases urinary tract infections and such and his response was "Odd. I've never had to deal with anything remotely close to that stuff!"
