That's the nub isn't it, is doesn't degrade the appearance or function of the object in question. I think that's been debated to death.

Or do you think it does degrade the appearance? In which case, please refer to a previous theory of mine, that it's your problem with circumcised dicks that cause your hatred.

For crying out loud.

Yes, you're right, I hate circumcised penises so much that I want to stamp out the practice now so that when today's babies are adults (and I'm 30 years older than them) I can sleep with any of them without having to confront my no-foreskin-phobia. You've got me figured out.

The foreskin evolved to serve a purpose, yes you can get along fine without it, but the same can be said of the appendix, the tonsils, the earlobes and the coccyx, why not chop those off newborns too?

Or ........ and I know this is new to you. You could answer the points I made about the appearance and function.

Appearance, well you can't argue that circumcision does change the appearance of the penis, some people might prefer it but that's irrelevant, its changed.

Function, the foreskin evolved to cover the sensitive skin on the glans, if its not there it can't do that so function is also undeniably affected:

The World Health Organization state that there is "debate about the role of the foreskin, with possible functions including keeping the glans moist, protecting the developing penis in utero, or enhancing sexual pleasure due to the presence of nerve receptors".

Why are you so adamant about retaining the right to chop certain bits off babies?

Women might look neater down there without their inner labia, they'd still have their clitoris so why not chop those off at birth too?

Children also need to be baptised if you want them to attend a Church school.

Mine were not when they started at a Church school (although they are now).

The local RC school will not accept unless they have been "done"

I think you'll find I've not said that I just wondered (yet again, still waiting for a reply) why you don't care about the opinion of the men who actually are cut. And I just wanted to pick to pieces your other arguments and get to the bottom of your anger. Which I think I've done.
Anyway, this has gone on too long and we're just boring everyone else.
