I'm not sorry about my penis.  The ladies love it.  

Like badgenome said, it's better than it looking like an aardvark.

And that's your opinion, you're more than entitled to it.  Not everyone shares that opinion, and plenty of people certainly do not want to have the skin removed.  I, for one, am glad I still have mine and every girl I've been with agrees that foreskin is better.  

Circumcising a kid and taking that choice away from them is wrong.  

Exactly.  It is an opinion and I don't tell everyone that everybody should be circumcised and you shouldn't say that it being done is a barbaric act.  It is an opinion...  

To clarify, I refer to infantile circumcision.  Nobody should ever force it on someone else, especially not on a kid that barely knows how to move.  If they grow up and chose to do it, that's their right, but forcing it on your kid just becuase it worked for you or becuase your religion tells you to is horrible. 

What if you lived life without your left thumb, or your religion had a tradition that involved cutting off the pinky?  would you force those mutilations on a kid just becuase of your religion or perceived benefits?
