Circumcision finally may become a criminal act in the UK

[BobRocket]

Jesus. Circumcision is the only reason many women will have anything to do with men. They don't want that alien worm looking thing waving around them. With the hygiene of many men, the rest who haven't already gone full lesbian would switch over. Lol.

Spot the American

If circumcision interfered with sexual functioning, the Jews would have died out long ago.

Spot the American

Um, yep. Do European women have to deal with that? Poor things. Come to America ladies.

 

[Wilson23]

The Jewish custom of circumcision, BTW, is pretty conclusive disproof of the heritability of acquired characteristics -- after all these centuries, they're still not BORN circumcized.

Don't know if that ever occurred to Darwin or Lamarck.

Spot the American

he's not entirely wrong, though... I'm a born and bred brit who has now been living in the US for almost 9 years, and it's largely a matter of what people are used to. They fail to recognise the fact that the foreskin is easily retractable and so, with a simple touch, looks pretty similar. The first time I saw a circumcised cock was a bit weird, like it was missing something, so I suppose most americans think non-circumcised looks odd. Culture shock

3000 years is not evolutionary scale. Dark skinned people have been living in the upper latitudes for about the same time and still retain dark pigment genes.

I believe Muslims also practice circumcision -- and that's a can of worms no British government wants to open! They have enough trouble suppressing female genital mutiliation!

 

[butters]

lol, you tell yourself whatever you need to, sweetie Men understand hygiene in other countries and I never once had 'to deal' with a gross dick.

It's just a matter of what people see as 'normal' in their countries, and a get-out-of-guilt-free card to parents who inflicted this on their kids.

Yes they do. It’s in the article

You think physical mutilation of body parts is a hereditary trait passed down through evolution?

If someone loses an arm in an accident, you think any children they have after that point are more likely to be born with the same missing arm?

Please tell me you're joking and not actually that stupid.

Come to American. Where chopping off foreskins has become a capitalist endeavour

if it's to be banned, then it will apply to all religions, not just judaism or christians who have 'adopted' the practice as a religious matter

Well I'm just glad it was done to me. Hot American girls don't want Dune sandworms coming out of your boxers. Lol.

No, it isn't. That's the point. Heredity is all in the DNA. But Lamarck thought otherwise.

 

[Lazaran]

Comparing male circumcision to the horrific genital mutilation done to some women (girls) is adding insult and injury to those women (girls).

Stop it.

Non consensual body alteration is horrific no matter what the sex

I've seen baby girls with pierced ears -- stupid, but not so horrific.

 

[TastySuckToy]

No, it isn't. That's the point. Heredity is all in the DNA.

Then why did you say:

When circumcision is not a modifier of DNA?

 

[Lazaran]

Yeah, no.

Not even close.

 

[BobRocket]

The didn’t cut off a part of their body. But I agree, fucking stupid

 

[Wilson23]

I said "disproof," not "proof."

 

[TastySuckToy]

I said "disproof," not "proof."

So...you're submitting a disproof to a claim that evolution doesn't make? Evolution has never claimed that superficial physical modifications to an orgamism's body are traits that get passed down. Traits that get passed down are in the DNA, and that is the hereditary traits evolution talks about.

 

[Wilson23]

So...you're submitting a disproof to a claim that evolution doesn't make?

No, a claim that acquired characteristics are involved in the process, which WAS part of pre-Darwinian evolutionary theory.

Black market circumcisions.
