If you want to tattoo or circumcise a baby, I'm opposed to that. If you want to get a tattoo or circumcision when you're an adult, go for it.
Most of the people you would label "anti-circumcision" are only anti-circumcision when it comes to minors. Adults can do whatever the fuck they want to their own bodies.
your reasoning is flawed in that adults are proxies for children who aren't old enough yet to make decisions about their health or well being. if we were to use your logic babies would never be vaccinated because they aren't old enough to give consent.
Tattoos and newborn circumcision aren't necessary for health. You could argue that down the road, a minor might need a circumcision or other surgery, but surgery is done when there's a problem, not as a preventative. We don't remove tonsils at age 5 routinely anymore.
Vaccinations, on the other hand have decades of proven benefit around the world. No one who gets their MMR gets the measles anymore and measles are a lot worse than any shot.
a 5 yr old *may* need his/her tonsil removed and a parent is there to give consent and do what he/she believes is right for the child. you saying that things should be put off until someone is an adult makes no reasonable sense.
You're talking need vs. want. If a 5 year old NEEDS to have his tonsils out for a valid medical reason, that's one thing. If daddy WANTS his newborn to have cosmetic surgery on his genitals, that's different.

so you say this but there is NO medical NEED to remove the foreskin. it does no harm and has a ton of reasons for being there. in actuality, the body has these things because they serve a purpose...

That is not the same. Seriously...
A better analogy is an eye lid...
Every day you wake up with a bunch of an organic material in your eyes. Solution? Blame the eyelids...Just remove them so that you will not have to deal wit the dirt every day. Also, you will look very cool and women will love it...
Your eyes will be nice, shiny, and clean, just like your circumcised dick
:disgust:
I can bet that with an organized propaganda, you could actually make that happen - you could tell the stupid US society that the eyelids are bad and it is medically and esthetically desirable to remove those "dirty" parts of your body that protect a SENSITIVE organ because of some "medical" reasons. And of course the "women" love men with no eyelids....

Maybe if someone would remove you eyelids as a toddler, you would be fine. Your eyes would get used to it after a while and you wouldn't know any better
Your eyes would be less sensitive, but cleaner and more desirable by women. You would also argue that you eyes are just fine - and you can see as well as person with eyelids.

No, yours is a terrible analogy. Both Appendix and Tonsils are internal organs that actually DO serve a purpose and they are NOT removed by default. Furthermore, to remove the appendix they really have to cut your internal organs open. It is a serious operations.
On the other hand, both eye lids and foreskin have one, single job to do: To protect very sensitive organs on your body that are exposed to the outside's damage.
My analogy is very logical, I am curious to learn why do you have a problem with my comparison?

They are both:
1. Very sensitive
2. Exposed to an outside environment
3. They are obviously not the same, although some guys see with their dicks
4. They are both protected by a thin layer of a PROTECTIVE skin
5. Both of them accumulate a SMALL amount of an organic residue every day/night
6. You don't have problems with skin protecting one organ, but remove it from a 2nd organ
7. Both skins have nerve endings. If someone pinches you in your eyelid, you feel it, the same is true for a foreskin...
So here. My arguments are logical. Not sensationalist or extreme. I am not treading in a thin ice as well, as the "nature" has my back. The skin is there for a reason. Don't fuck with it.
Edit: Don't be so upset with my argument. Just accept it and think about it. I know that it is not easy, still if you think about it, as some point of your life you will make a right choice for your little one.

Really the only point you have is the sensitivity (beating dead horse again) which has been proven to not be an issue for babies-->adults. In addition, someone in this thread already mentioned that they wanted to reduce sensitivity so they got rid of the foreskin so they could last longer during secks.
Last, protection? What does your cck need protection from (other than the hordes of women who want to taste it!) that your underwear doesn't already provide? My body temp already runs a degree or two hotter than normal people, the last thing I need is hotness down there.
No thank you. There are other ways of doing it. It seems like a terrible, terrible idea. Reducing pleasure and sensitivity around my dick? Nope. That is just...wrong.In addition, someone in this thread already mentioned that they wanted to reduce sensitivity so they got rid of the foreskin so they could last longer during secks.

Tattoos and newborn circumcision aren't necessary for health. You could argue that down the road, a minor might need a circumcision or other surgery, but surgery is done when there's a problem, not as a preventative. We don't remove tonsils at age 5 routinely anymore.
Vaccinations, on the other hand have decades of proven benefit around the world. No one who gets their MMR gets the measles anymore and measles are a lot worse than any shot.
a 5 yr old *may* need his/her tonsil removed and a parent is there to give consent and do what he/she believes is right for the child. you saying that things should be put off until someone is an adult makes no reasonable sense.
You're talking need vs. want. If a 5 year old NEEDS to have his tonsils out for a valid medical reason, that's one thing. If daddy WANTS his newborn to have cosmetic surgery on his genitals, that's different.
so you say this but there is NO medical NEED to remove the foreskin. it does no harm and has a ton of reasons for being there. in actuality, the body has these things because they serve a purpose...
Just like the appendix and tonsils?

That is not the same. Seriously...
A better analogy is an eye lid...
Every day you wake up with a bunch of an organic material in your eyes. Solution? Blame the eyelids...Just remove them so that you will not have to deal wit the dirt every day. Also, you will look very cool and women will love it...
Your eyes will be nice, shiny, and clean, just like your circumcised dick
:disgust:
I can bet that with an organized propaganda, you could actually make that happen - you could tell the stupid US society that the eyelids are bad and it is medically and esthetically desirable to remove those "dirty" parts of your body that protect a SENSITIVE organ because of some "medical" reasons. And of course the "women" love men with no eyelids....
eyelids ? foreskin
some of your guys are really reaching.
