- That's completely irrelevant. Your original post, which is somehow
- creatively ommitted, suggested that it was a fact that circumcision
- was absolutely and without fail mutiliation without cause or
- issue. That's the facts I'm asking for. I doun't necessarily doubt
- that somebody's kid cried, and I won't even bother to dispute the
- reason, despite my own experiences with infants.
-
- It doesn't matter. The issue of necessity is still undetermined,
- and you can't run around accusing everyone who opts for circumcision
- for their male kid of child mutilation.
-
- In my original posting, which YOU seem to have creatively omitted, I question
- the sense of a religion that demands that you mutilate your child. I will
- extend that to question the sense of circumcision in ANY case where there is
- not an urgent medical need. I think the question of fellatio is so absurd that
- it doesn't need any further comment, except to observe that people must really
- be scraping the bottom of the barrel if that's the sort of reason they
- are dreaming up!
