It depends entirely on why it is being carried out.
If it is due to clinical necessity, it is good.
If it is to fulfill cultural or religious tradition, it is bad when performed without consent. If it is carried out with full and informed consent, then it is neither good nor bad. It just is.

Makes it easier to properly clean. But then again if you have proper showers I doubt you'd have problems if you were uncircumcised.

It reduces pleasure though due to lack of skin friction... Also I think a circumcised penis looks a lot better than an uncircumcised one lol.
the only people who wouldn't see it as bad are those that were circumcised without their consent as a baby, so they have never known anything else and this is the only way they can rationalise it to themselves.

It's great. My foreskin no longer gets caught in the zipper of my jeans.


Did it before?

Srsly have you ever worn pants, it's a less permanent solution to getting caught in the zipper

Having all your teeth removed makes your mouth easier to clean.

Good point. So circumcision is really for lazy, unhygienic people.

It's similar to cutting nails - for better hygiene and preventing bacterial growth.
It's absolutely disgusting when done needlessly
it cuts both ways ? :dontknow:
Up to the parents

For those people who don't wash their hands, I guess.

And I think that nails grow back don't they?

It's such a shame that they grow back...

Do you think that giving an infant a tattoo should be up to the parents?

this one
With consent or for a medical reason, good. Otherwise, can't see why it should be done.

Never said it should be up to the parents, but ultimately it is and that's just the way the cookie crumbles. And a tattoo isn't nearly in the same category as circumcision
