Bonobo, this is the video that turned my dad into an intactivist

[Bonobo3D]

Thank you, your comment has made my day.

[Steven Davis]

im glad I was circumcised. if I wasn't, id be interested in having it done as an adult.

this is a no brainer.

[Bonobo3D]

"This is a no brainer."

That's the problem, this abuse keeps on happening because people don't use their brains.

Let me guess Steven, you're born and raised in a cutting culture. Everyone around you has a scarred penis, lacking a foreskin, you think that's normal.

Foreskin in men and women is there for a reason. If you use your brain you can follow what Leonard Glick and others are saying and understand the function of the foreskin and the sexually repressive act of stealing it from children.

[gingowitch]

Circumcision is a major crime and a plot to weaken a man - that's why they do it. There is no good reason to mutilate the penis. It takes away the stimulation, which is great, that the foreskin provides to the head.

Jewish propaganda? That's a laugh. If anything it's ANTI Jewish. You also claim there is plenty of evidence of ritual Jewish killings. Now, there's propaganda for you. Where is this evidence?

I realize your comments are old as the hills, but they are so utterly ludicrous that I couldn't help myself - I had to comment.

[PungiFungi]

I clicked on your name, hoping against hope that you are NOT from the U.S.

But you are, sigh...

Spoken like a true ignorant American.

That's your take as a sentient adult. You should be able to decide what to do with whatever parts of you you may dim extra, but so it should every adult men, not robbed of it as a child. It is a humane rights issue, to body integrity. The reasons to cut whether arguable are too controversial to keep FORCING it on minors. That's the whole entendre of dissention, it is no more ignored but ardently questioned as former abuses done on minors

I admire your courage, brother. You are not alone, even if you are unique among your family. Hating them, however, is probably a waste of time. Your energies are better spent in ending this barbaric practice. Use your intellect and your pain wisely for the benefit of others.

[endofscene]

That's wrong. The Torah commands many things that are now illegal, e.g. stoning children to death.

Infant and child male circumcision is unconstitutional according to the 14the Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, because infant and child female circumcisions of all kinds are illegal. It is also arguable a form of assault and battery, and possibly theft and organ trafficking.

However, I do not believe the USA (or most countries) are anywhere near being ready to ban child circumcision.

[endofscene]

You are not actually providing any reasons for your position.

Circumcision desensitises the penis, by definition. Do some research into the history and nature of circumcision. Consider what the foreskin is and what it does.

Smegma is a natural and non-toxic substance found in all mammals, male and female. Women tend to produce more than men. It is easily removed by washing and even more easily prevented by regular bathing.

Child abuse and genital mutilation are serious issues.

[endofscene]

The Bible is nonsense but the Biblical custom of circumcising male infants is genius. Meat is murder but circumcising children isn't genital mutilation.

Cognitive dissonance much?

Your comment is very strange indeed. I can only agree with Bonobo3D in his response to you. A little more brain training on this subject would go a long way!

Quoth the guy taking the time to write a number comments... How much a person cares about an issue is directly proportionate to the amount of time and effort he puts into trying to convince you he doesn't. Maybe the person who needs a hobby is none other than yourself?
