Honestly, Palestrina, your comment struck me as incredibley rude. I didn't come on here to argue, just to share a perspective of someone doing it for reasons other than what some deem 'cosmetic.' Obviously, you didn't bother to actually read the wording of my comment. It was in no way inappropriate for me to mention God because my exact statement was "For people who do it for cultural reasons, circumcision is performed simply because God has commanded it and because it is tradition." My culture, Judaism, performs it for that reason. That is a fact. It's not a snide post at others that "God wants you to do it." I think you are the only one who took that offensively. It is clearly not even meant as a religious statement--- That was to explain the cultural view on it, since you are sharing the 'medical' view on it. Blutea even said she didn't fully understand the choice. I am just explaining why MY culture practices this. So please, don't immediately come in here trying to pick on my religion. Thanks.
In regards to the above videos, I understand that you are horrified, but you can find a video for just about anything on the internet. I could find one of a horrible experience, and one of a procedure that went well. The same could be done for anything-- going to the dentist, the gynocologist... there are all types of conflicting things on the web.
It is really rude for you to make a comment about the procedure-- saying that you are 'horrified,' and I'm 'altering his sex life.' Honestly, my DF is circ'ed-- and his sex life is just fine. It is a personal decision. Nothing that you post is going to change our religion, so you don't have to be so rude & make personal attacks. This friendly conversation, not an arguement about what you deem barbaric.
About your comment "I think that for 40some pages of this thread everyone has been very mature without having someone comment on our maturity level."
Oh my goodness! Quit being so witchy. Your comments are the EXACT immature comments I was referring to. I was simply saying that while I've been on BnB I have seen MANY threads about something so controversial. I've seen almost ALL of them turn nasty really fast. It was a compliment to the ladies of this forum. You are the only one who decided to, again, attack something I was saying nicely and make it sound mean. At the end I even said "That's great ladies " Obviously, I wasn't attacking anyone's maturity. I was complimenting all the lovely ladies who read the thread, commented, and respected everyone else.
Please, if you comment again, show a little more respect for my views. I feel like I was more than accepting of Bluetea's posts. There is no reason for you to act that way.
