When did eating Graham crackers become castrating?

Well the good preachers original intent was to null the mind with bland food so males in the church wouldn't masturbate. Didn't work obviously, and neither did those abortion inducing corn flakes.

It's subjective because there are also negatives. If you say one outweighs the other, that's your opinion.

I wouldn't consider mutilation a medical decision.

You would be in direct contravention of the American Academy of Pediatricians and the Mayo Clinic, as well as a number of other medical professionals.
Including many who oppose widespread circumcision.

The opinion of the American Academy of Pediatricians on circumcision and its supposed benefit against various STDs is widely panned in most of the western world.

I'm not interested in that, killing Jews is legal sometimes too.

Huh. Looks like I was right about the neonazi meaning of the number 14 in the nickname of the OP.

Four advantages, and two disadvantages, you can void the last one because if you choose a good hospital it won't happen.
Counting the advantages and disadvantages as if they are somehow equal is an over-simplisitic, child-like method of determining risk vs reward.

Wikipedia
So you replace one clickbait source, with a source that has no interest in accuracy?

As for your earlier statement, I think that circumcision benefits everyone.While it may help Africans more, I don't see why it wouldn't work in the US as well.All men have the diseases and organs.
And yet in Europe, where the instances of circumcision are considerably lower, the "diseases" are also considerably lower. Your claim lacks substance.

Those affected by the views, opinions or general demeanour of this poster should review this puppy picture. Those affected by puppy pictures should consider investing in an isolation tank.

Isn't it curious how people will claim they are against tribalism, then pigeonhole themselves into tribes?

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
I use obviously in italics to emphasise the conveying of sarcasm. If I've put excessive obviously's into a post that means I'm being sarcastic

And? Still doesn't explain the meaning of the 14 let alone the fact this thread is deep within the radiactive forests of Post great War Moscow.

How about we just shut it down, then. There was enough false premise, trolling, and disingenuous posting on the parts of at least one that it's likely just a train wreck that needn't keep going.
