Easy guys... I just wanted to take a centrist position here... move away from the absolutism, no one's right & no one's wrong... I was circ'ed @ birth, as were my 2 sons, I don't feel I was robbed of anything... Irish seems to be the only one who knows what's on both sides of the coin, & he says it's not a big deal, I'll take his word for it! My comparison to tatts & piercing was to point out that there are risks in everything you do (& risks in what you don't do)... show me one example of a boy who was permanently damaged by being cut at birth, I might agree that it's a bad thing; As I also pointed out, it's practiced by 2 of the world's largest religions, if there was a real health risk here Jews & Muslims would have gone the way of the Shakers by now... just the view from here...
