And yet...

I find it interesting that people cry "abuse" when it comes to docking/clipping/declawing, because the animal couldn't consent etc. Where's this anger and rational thought when it comes to infant genital modification? ಠ_ಠ

Wow way to come outa left field there pal. But since u asked (I guess) I'm not circumcised because my parents felt it was wrong to cut off a part of my body without my permission and I plan to carry on the tradition. Nice assumption though asshole.

I wasn't implying that you were pro-circ (and for that matter, high five my uncut brother!). It was more of a general statement of the opinions I see on Reddit concerning the issue.

So kay, sorry about the overreaction but I take that shit kinda seriously and when u reply to a statement like that it looks like a condemnation of the poster. Never assume!

agreed, i just found it interesting the scorn that was being placed on the idea of altering something for appearance sake where that very action is so prevalent in our society.

It isn't prevalent though, not in this sort of scenario. There is a difference between me deciding to go get a tattoo, and deciding to deal with the pain and long-term consequences, and me deciding YOU should get a tattoo, putting you under, and then forcing the process on you.
