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? 

Oh come on!  Removing a piece of skin is not the same as having a finger cut off and you, as an intellectual, know that.  

dodged like a boss!
