[quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc]Why is this discussion going on in 3 or 4 different threads?  the end result is always the same - some people choose to do it, others don't.  It's really none of anyone's business, for the most part.  I'm sure the anti-people are as much about all the other issues facing OTHER people's families.

I just don't understand why this happens here time and time again with the same lack-of-respectful resolution.  [/quote]

People feel strongly about it. If you do it and feel fine with it, that's good and I totally understand. On the other hand, you have to understand that there are going to be people out there who really, really think it is wrong and they see your child as a victim of something. They feel it's child abuse. So asking them not to say how they feel is like telling someone it's none of their business how they discipline their child after you see them punching them out.

I understand completely that you don't see it the same way, but that is definitely the perspective of those of us who care about the issue. When we were making the decision, we looked into it and did a ton of research. I can't just look away from the research and what I learned and pretend that I think it's okay to do it. I think it's morally wrong.

II definitely understand why people choose to do it, and it's not like I think they're evil. It's obviously what people just do. Especially if your religious affiliation requires it. But, if you ask me, or as these conversations come up, I will give my opinion that I think it's not the right thing to do. [/quote]
