Circumcision ban getting people snippy.

@DélioPT:

You can`t treat the "if" like it`s real.

For the sake of this discussion, you should.

You didn`t understand my words. Saying that i respect one`s practices, be it religious or not, is one thing. Not taking into consideration why i respect it is jumping ahead of yourself. And that makes you not understand what respect means.

So you admit that you would "respect" virgin sacrifices if they were a religious practice, right?

What i try to say is that parents have a big influence on their kids, physically and emotionally. Talking about this medical procedure as mutilation is taking it out of proportions, way out of proportions. People do it for medical reasons and others for religious reasons aswell. I respect that, you don`t.

There's a difference between downright mutilation, and forcing somthing on someone. Also, I know people do it for medical reasons. I'm circumcised myself, because I had phimosis. In my case it was a MEDICAL NECESSITY, which is the only valid reason to circumcise an infant. An adult can get a circumcision for whatever reason he wants, however this practice should not be forced on an infant, unless it's a medical emergency. It's a violation of a child's body otherwise.

BTW, female circumcision is a religious practice in some places. Do you respect that practice?
