[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Circumcision is not illegal. Its not child abuse or mutilation or child protective services would take little boys away from their parents for doing it. If you think or feel otherwise, I suggest you just get over it. What goes on in other people's homes, families, or with their genitalia is none of your business. Move on with your own life and find something else to occupy your time.

There is evidence for both sides of the argument. Who cares if you don't think or feel the evidence justifies the act? Last I checked, we don't have juries sitting in on deliveries deciding the fate of newborn male genitalia. Its none of you business. Move on. Get over it.

If you're unable to move on, then yes, you have an abnormal obsession with little boy's genitalia. Please seek therapy.
No mother has to justify her decisions to you. Life is not about you. But judge away, I'm sure you're guilty of some interesting parenting decisions too that you're being judged for by your friends as we speak. Can't wait to see how your snowflake turns out.

Good luck to you. Happy parenting ya'll.[/quote]

You have a fundamental misunderstanding about this matter. Just because it's not currently considered child abuse and illegal doesn't mean that people can't think so and voice their opinions. It doesn't mean they have an obsession, no matter how often you repeat that accusation. It means that they see a common practice as problematic and say so. An anonymous board is a perfect medium to discuss this issue because it's obviously too private a matter to debate in person with anyone but close friends and family.

This is how cultural change happens, and it is already happening with regard to circumcision, as the declining rates over the last years have shown. You can keep raging against it, but nobody who looks at this discussion objectively is going to believe that the people arguing against circumcision are a bunch of crazies and perverts.[/quote]

No fundamental misuderstanding here. You are welcome to think or feel whatever you want on the matter. I just don't have to care. Arguing with someone that they should care about your opinions is a touch crazy. Move on. Get over it. And if you can't, seek therapy. A good therapist will be able to tell you if its more than your actions that are crazy here.[/quote]

Thing is, if you don't care so much, please stop posting on threads taht are purporting to ask anti-circ people why they care about this issue.  Several anti-circ posters have responded as to why they care.  You apparently don't care about their reasons. This suggests to me perhaps you should find a different thread to read that isn't expressly asking for those reasons.[/quote]

+1. It's also quite significant that the two threads about circumcision that are going on here right now were started by circers who solicited the opinions of non-circers. I haven't seen such a thread started by someone opposing circumcision.[/quote]
