    I didn't vote, because I would've chosen "it's a cultural norm". None of those really fit me.

    Avast, ye salty dags!!
    Circumcision be not an easy task, ba goad! Very few men 'ave circumcised tha globe, an' even Magellan was killed when 'e tried. Ye need ta bring plenty o' food, an' plenty o crosswurd puzzles.
    Tha Captain dosen't like ta brag, but Oi be circumcised twice, wunce through tha Straight 'o Magellan, an' wunce wi' thar aid o' a secret map. Oi bought it in Jeroosalem off o' some jooish chap whot asked me if Oi be circumcised ur not. I said "only wunce, through thar Magellan Straights", an' then 'e smiled an' sold me tha map.
    Arrrggghhh!!!!

    Circumcision should only be done with the informed consent of the foreskin's owner.

    I would like to say i agree with circumcision but the yes statement is only if my religion says yes. I say yes for reasons such as hygiene... culture norm(maybe)... Though I was circumcised in the name of religion, I do not think that is the only reason that it should be considered.

    It is a barbaric act.
    I got cut over a year ago for health reasons, so I had no option.
    If a person's religion says he must be cut then so be it however the person in question should make that choice and not the parents.

    Unless there is a medical reason, there is absolutely no reason for it.

    Agree with Cassy, unless it is medically required there is no reason to do it.

    Well, its more hygienic, but that still isn't a good enough reason for it at all. To me, it seems pointless doing it, unless its medically required.

    Interestingly it has been suggested that circumsicion may decrease the chances of getting AIDS; so if its done medically soundly (sterilised instruments and so on), then it appears to be a medically beneficial procedure. Certainly there are no negative effects, really.

    I've read that too. Very interesting. Also a bit of a downer for those of us who wish to keep our genitalia intact and unsliced.

    Some people are so upset about the fact that they were circumcised without their consent that they take bizarre measures to try to repair their member. Seriously.

    If you want to be circumcised then go ahead, its none of my business.

    If I may loose my accent momentarily, I wish to object to the 'hygiene' reason. As a man possessing the same, unscathed equipment I was born with, I've never had an issue with rashes, odor, or uncleanliness in general.

    But as tha Captain, 'owever!! Maybe that thar explains why moi babymaker be aw mottled wi' blue an' black spots! Oi wunders if Oi should gets thar ship's surgeon ta bleeds it wi' leeches??:hmmm:

    Yeah, quite right, the hygine thing is rubbish. No girl is going to be with you if you don't shower at least daily, whether you're circumcised or not.

    I have proven this to be untrue.
    The common culture of a tribe is a sign of its inner cohesion. But tribes are vanishing from the modern world, as are all forms of traditional society. Customs, practices, festivals, rituals and beliefs have acquired a flut and half-hearted quality which reflects our nomadic and rootless existence, predicated as we are on the global air-waves.
