It's a sad but true fact that nearly every white male born in the United States is circumsized at birth. That means that before the child is allowed to leave the hospital most of the time, he must have his foreskin removed by a doctor. This can have several consequences down the road, most notably a reduction in size, loss of sensativity, and other serious side effects.
The question is WHY? Why is it that the United States, a Christian (or mostly Christian) nation, condones this done to every white male born? Most minorities do not get this done (unless by request), and there are many cases where the parents don't discover this fact until after it's been performed. Most have simply accepted it as the status quo, and since it was done to them and their fathers before them, they accept it. I don't know if this is the truth and if anyone has any hard evidence to support or deny this claim please present it.
Infact, when speaking to many women about the issue, they said that to have it uncircumsized is nasty, horrible and disgusting, and they would refuse them based upon that fact. The only group in the entire world that requires this horrific practice done to every male are the Jewish. But why does it happen in the United States? The Jewish community makes up only a small portion of the total population, and the only other nation that regularly does it with the same frequency as the US is Isreal.
There have been numerous studies done about the subject, but most of the time since it has already been practiced for so long, it remains an issue that gets swept under the rug most of the time, and the practice continues unabbated. I know this sounds more of a rant against this practice but I think that it needs to get out there. This is the primary reason why millions are bombarded daily by advertisements offering increased size, performance, and other things, when the issue could be averted at birth and avoided altogether.
So please, tell me your thoughts, and be civil about it. If I've made any mistakes with what I've said above, I appologize, but if not, then I think that it should be put out there for the people to know and to think about, because this happens to your children and can affect them for the rest of their lives. So before you allow them to become another, please look at the facts and think, what is best for my child?
