[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's all regional, y'all: http://forward.com/articles/161642/circumcision-rates-vary-widely-in-us/?p=all

In the US as a whole, it's roughly 54% : http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6034a4.htm?s_cid=mm6034a4_w

My son is not circ'ed and neither is my DH.  DH said he preferred not to have it done when our son was born, and I couldn't find any reason to push for the circ, so we didn't do it.  I think everyone will be okay.

This is such a huge issue to so many people, but really, anti-circ people need to calm down and speak rationally without attacking (and the same for pro-circ).  Really, though, you make other parents who don't circ look like they're as crazy as you are.[/quote]

There have been a few crazy sounding posts on the anti-circ side here, but most have actually been pretty well reasoned and calm, although passionate about the issue, which concerns the welfare of children. On the other hand, few good arguments have been made in favor of it, except for references to the questionable health benefits, but mostly it was along the lines of "what I do with my child's penis is none of your business and I don't want to hear anything you have to say". Finally, there were a fair number of posts on the pro-circ side who relied on attempts at derision and insult, but mostly sounded like they were drunk.

So, I guess there are crazies on either side, but the most vocal anti-circ posters came across as well-informed and reasonable.[/quote]

If you think the anti-circ posts here have come across as "well-informed and reasonable" I shudder to think of the people you encounter on a day-to-day basis. You sound like a bunch of crazy people to me. [/quote]

And here goes another attempt at a peer-pressure style insult... Seriously, have you people no arguments? I mean, based on peer-reviewed research?[/quote]
