... the reaction to last week's QOTW....
... after I posted some fact about circumcision.

I got a large amount of PM's preaching that I was stupid, and that all un-circumcised people had stinky unclean cocks.

I quote "You should try not repeat crazy shit you hear from the nutters down the road.

Being circumsised is a good thing, think cleaner penises..."

Horrifying ignorance and the proof to Darwin's statement "Ignorance begets confidence more frequently than does knowledge"

so... to fuel your fear of a society that does things "cos that's the way we've always done it" Have a look here..

looking in the chronology section...

16th century Gabriele Falloppio (1523-62) describes function of the foreskin to provide lubrication and increase pleasure during sex.

17th century William Harvey (1578-1657), the discoverer of the circulation of the blood, states that circumcised men have less pleasure in sex.

1716 Publication of Onania, or the heinous sin of self-pollution, and all its frightful consequences in both sexes in London, giving rise to the irrational phobia about masturbation which persisted throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and which still survives among members of the US Congress. For the next 250 years doctors insist it is a scientifically proven medical fact that masturbation is physically and mentally harmful and must be stopped at any cost

1850s James Copland, in Dictionary of practical medicine, popularises the idea of circumcision as a means of discouraging masturbation among boys.

1870 (USA) In the USA Lewis A. Sayre applies theories of Lallemand and announces that circumcision cures "paralysis" (polio), epilepsy and masturbation, setting off the medical craze for "therapeutic" circumcision. Calls for universal circumcision of male infants.

1877 (USA) John Harvey Kellogg MD (1852-1943) publishes the first edition of Plain facts for old and young, in which he promotes circumcision as a cure for masturbation. He writes that the operation was to be performed "without administering an anaesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment."

1993 Claim that uncircumcised men had significantly higher rate of cancer of the penis exposed as a myth, yet again.

Just a few highlights..

Scary huh? A society that's scared of wanking, so turns it's medical hands to ritually chopping off parts of baby's penises. Sweet. That's more fucked up than shagging goats.

Bottom line... IF foreskins gave rise to infection and disease, evolution would have taken care of them.

Sorry for length, but I've not been mutilated. *guffaw*

Afterthought:
Been cut? pissed about it? .. if you live in America why not SUE!!
2000 (USA) William Stowell, aged 18, feeling pissed off, injured and ashamed of being cut, sues the doctor who circumcised him and the hospital where it was done.
