    what?, that is bullshit. the porcentage that circumcision prevents STDs is so fucking small, that mention it is ridiculous, and it's only "efective" (if we can say that) when we talk about HIV. perhaps in some countries of Africa MIGHT be a little be efective, but in America?, Really? are you kidding me? No way!!, I'm glad that americans are stopping that brutality and they do not circumcises to newborns, I'm from EU and we have no more issues than americans about STDs for NOT being circumcised.

    I think some of thier practices are a bit strange, yet the way that thier communities bond together and are always happy with how little they have facinates me.

    You have a point, I should't expect everyone on the internet speak in proper English, but for the love of whatever you worship in your religion, please, PLEASE, at least use proper grammar. Do they not teach you how to capitalize or use proper punctuation in your country?
