[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not "so sad", pp. Who are you crying for? My two beautiful Jewish sons? Please. Take your pity elsewhere.[/quote]

I note that you didn't quote the previous message.  that would be because it said that the mother was shaking the whole time and the father was as white as a ghost.  They were clearly upset about the procedure and had mixed feelings about it.  So yes, it's sad.  I also think it's sad that the baby has his penis cut and scarred in the name of religion, but that's not what I was clearly commenting on.[/quote]

I'm the same poster!  My point is that it's a very tough day for new parents.  It's [b]scary and emotional[/b]- it's overwhelming to realize that you are doing what Jews around the world have been doing for thousands of years.  I [b]never for once had mixed feelings[/b] about it, absolutely never.  We are Jews.  We circumcise.  It's not up for debate!!!

My boys are incredible kids, with access to amazing education, in a happy home with two loving parents.  There are children living in poverty in drug addicted homes.  Be sad for them.

I'm also the same poster who said that if I knew a Jewish friend didn't circ her son, I'd seriously question the friendship.  [/quote]

You realize you are contradicting yourself, don't you?[/quote]
