  • There's no real purpose for it but it doesn't cause any harm. I'm not a fan of it either, but it's really not worth getting worked up over; there are bigger problems. I think it's becoming less common in the US, I wouldn't be surprised if it died out naturally eventually. Also, you have to be careful with fighting against religious customs, this can and has been used as anti-semitic rhetoric.

      • They always use anesthesia so it doesn't really hurt at all. Again, I'm not a fan of it myself. I just don't think it's a big deal.

    • So now if I don't want my own body to be mutilated against my will, I need jewish approval or else I am anti-semitic? I am sick of those bastards and their idiotic rhetoric, really.

      • Did you read what I wrote? Because that's not what I wrote.

        "I am sick of those bastards." Really great way of convincing me you're not antisemitic, something I never even accused you of.

        • You said that if you fight against religious customs you might be accused of antisemitism and this is in the context of circumcision. Jews having this as a religion doesn't mean anything to me. If I say I don't want circumcision for any of my children and I fight against this idea since it makes no sense unless there is a medical reason for it are you going to tell me I might be accused of something from the antisemitic rhetoric? If you decide that your daughter should not wear a hijab this means you can be accused of anti-islamism? I don't understand your antisemitic point. Just because they invented it or they use it as a tradition doesn't mean anything. They are not the masters of it and I don't need their approval for it or for not doing it. And I don't really care about convincing you I am antisemitic. I don't care about jews either. I don't understand why people need to explain everything they think and feel like nowadays. I don't need to convince anyone that I am not racist. I might be and I don't care what others think about it.
