Yeah you keep thinking that, meanwhile every medical professional in any field directly or indirectly related to the consequences of such barbaric practices will vehemently disagree with you. Outside of the Jeudeo-Christian community of course. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |

the vast majority of studies find that circumcision is either a minor benefit or has no significant impact either way. the WHO even recommends it for large portions of africa because it significantly lowers the rate of HIV transmission
it's only "barbaric" because you're a bigot, not because there's anything inherently brutal or uncivilized about a minor surgical procedure that produces minor health benefits and significantly preferred aesthetics in many societies
again, go bitch about body piercings. there are fewer benefits, more pain, and greater risk of complication. i have a feeling you don't consider a little girl getting her ears pierced barbaric though
