[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand you people.  It is ok to cut off foreskin (for non religious reasons)  and forcibly puncture infant's ears, but a little lemon juice in their hair means you are not happy with how they look?  [/quote]

I think there is a big difference with doing thing for cultural and religious reasons vs. doing it because you think your child is not pretty enough with her brown hair.[/quote]

PP said for non-religious reasons. Plenty of people circumcise so DS can look like daddy.[/quote]

So does the American Academy of Pediatricans also recommend that you put lemon juice in a child's hair to make them look more Aryan?  [/quote]

Please read precisely. AAP does not recommend routine circumcision for all newborn boys. They only say the health benefits, in their view, are great enough to warrant insurance coverage. (NB that the health benefits of circumcision are questionable enough for European countries to advocate against its routine performance.)

Obviously, highlighting hair does not have any health benefits. However, in circumcision debates (not looking to start one here), proponents often say they did it because daddy was circumcised, too. Those people's actions then are comparable to OP's.[/quote]

You anti-circ people are like a dog with a damn bone, aren't you?  LET. IT. GO.  Not every thread has to turn into a debate on this topic.[/quote]

No. As long as children are needlessly mutilated, I will speak up about it when the topic arises (I was not the PP who first brought it up). No matter how much you yell.[/quote]

I circumcised my child and would do it again if I had a boy.  Yell away. . .you won't change my mind.  It's a personal choice, and one that is perfectly medically acceptable.  I think I'll take the advice of my doctor over some sanctimonious random person on the internet offering me asinine unsolicited advice.  [/quote]

Sure, well in that case ask your doctor again next time.  Ask explicitly if they recommend you do it.  It's unlikely that he or she will say yes unequivocally and that's because there is no medical justification for it.  No medical body in the entire WORLD recommends it.  Sure there might be some old fashioned idiot doctors but ask them so show you the research that says that this is a good idea and you might start to realize that you have in fact cut off a healthy and useful part of your son's penis and that one day both you and he will regret it.  Unfortunately he'll never have any say in this.[/quote]

Feel better now?   :evil:  Loser.[/quote]

Just FYI, you are arguing with (at least) two different posters here. The last PP is not the one you (the angry circer) previously responded to.[/quote]
