Intactivists in Florida snip away at opponents

Zahc,
Whatever the validity of your position, you argue it very poorly. You come across as a wild eyed zealot rather than someone with a rational, considered opinion.

Just thought you might not realize it.

From my personal observations they are FAR more upset about being strapped to the board and not allowed to nurse on momma's boob than they are with anything happening to their weiner.  The hardly notice the operation, mostly thanks to the novocain, but also because it just doesn't bother them all that much.

If he doesn't realize that by now (given that this is probably the 4th time we've been down this path in the last few years) he's willfully ignorant.

Risk of yeast infectionis not so  much to the male as it is to the females.  Given then way sex works, the risks of a UTI are much greater in females then males.  Hence, my comment on Leviticus, etc.

However, much like Religion, schooling, and other early life choices; those decisions are left to the parents of the children and not the state.   Zahc is free to not circumcise his sons as he sees fit, while I have chosen to have my son circumcised.  He will (and does) have plenty of reasons to be angry with the decisions I have made for him while growing up, yet I know I will not be the perfect parent, but just good enough.

This is a very simplistic understanding of risk.

False. Increased risk is increased risk.

Observation:
Very long thread about a issue that has been cut short.

We charge $ 240 for a circumcision.  We don't see very many complications at all.  We offer it because our patients ask for it.

Given the origin of the practice and who introduced it to the USA, you'd think you'd get 10% off.

I thought everyone who got one got about 10% off?

Eh? I don't see the connection.

The heel stick blood draw they do to newborns in the hospital (is that the jaundice test? I always forget) is very very very upsetting to the youngsters. I guess that means we tortured our kids by letting those money grubbing bastards at the hospital do it.

"Come across as a" or "is a" would be a good question.

http://www.babysfirsttest.org/newborn-screening/states  Depending on the state, it is a whole host of genetic and other conditions that are screened for at birth with the heel stick.  The Feds have a core list of 31 conditions recommended for screening, but the states are free to come up with their own list.
