I apologise to you all if I came across as rude, it is just something I feel strongly about and I did not mean to hurt feelings, so I apologise for that. i realise now people have taken offence, and I know no one wants to harm their children I wasn`t implying that at all. I simply wanted to warn those who haven`t had their sons yet or who are thinking about having it done -- I just wanted to warn them off it. That`s all. So again i apologise if I offended those of you who have done it. But i will stand by my beliefs, just as you will stand by yours.

right because we all know the bible is the only world religion??

california-mom (882.6 days ago)
And no where in the bible does it talk about circumsizing females as a covenent between males and God. So backing the religious aspect, theres that.

My dad is Jewish...My brothers and cousins are all circumcized as is my son and will all my sons after him. HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT FOR SOME PEOPLE ITS A RELIGIUS ISSUE???? Thanks, lets keep that in mind before calling it mutilation. Also...Its not SHOCK, especially if they sleep through it. My husband was there for the entire 5 minute start to finish procedure and he literally slept through it.

i agree with kadesmom completly....and for moms who didnt get it done...who are you to tell us who did get it done that we are mutilating our sons and we are in the wrong...dont judge us you dont know the reason y we got it done...my dh ended up needing to get it done when he was 14, and being someone whos had it both ways, he 100 % believes being circumsized is better

It is a choice that we make and should not be put down for it either way you choose. Rude comments and putting others down is just childish and many should do there research on it a little closer.

pooka (882.6 days ago)
kades that`s totally untrue. Its removing 1/2 to 2/3s of very sensitive and highly specialized skin full of nerves and sensation. Effectively what they are removing if it were flatted out is a piece of skin the size of an index card for an adult male. Not only that it also bares the glands and under flesh to irritation and rubbing which in change toughens it and makes it less like mucus membrane (as it should be) and more like normal skin. In countries with low rates of circumcision they have LESS issues with male dysfunction in older adults. As for the idea that the less sensation means more time until orgasm they also find that uncircumcised men have a better sensation and understanding on when they will orgasm so they actually have better control over it then circumcised men do. People seriously need to research this stuff. I have read literally hundreds of pages and studies and reports and they discount ALL of the popular arguments.

Thank you, I am quite calm, I am calmly saying, `It is unnecessary mutilation`, and I will calmly stand by that.

pooka (882.7 days ago)
its no less mutilation then female circumcision is which has also been practiced for thousands of years for religious reasons. why is it not acceptable to us? Because society tells us its not, that is the ONLY reason.

http://www.circumcision.org/studies.htm http://www.canadiancrc.com/Circumcision_Genital_Mutilation_Male-Female_Children.aspx Anyone who has a boy or might have one has a responsibility to be informed NOT just follow the advice of ONE doctor. Considering doctors are governed by certain BODIES of medical professionals all of which DO NOT endorse circumcision as being medically necessary. Why do people think doctors are above OPINIONS?? Your doctor does not always give accurate and unbiased advice! Read and learn the facts. Don`t do it because everyone else does. The US is now the only country in the world with a greater majority of boys circumcised. Don`t you think its time people actually paid attention to good science and not society`s norms?

Lou-Li-Ro (882.7 days ago)
Here in Ireland, it is a very sad issue if someone has to be circumcised for some medical reason. It is traumatising and awful for someone if they have to have it done. And over in the US millions do it for no reason?!?!?!? WHAT?!?! Come on people I just don`t get it. I could not stand by and watch while someone mutilates my perfect newborn son. I have no idea why so many people are brainwashed into doing this

Lou-Li-Ro (882.7 days ago)
Also, why the hell would they be born with it if they didn`t need it?!?!? Our bodies don`t make parts of us for no reason, it is their for PROTECTION. DON`T mutilate your baby boys. I think circumcision for non-medical reasons is sick.

Lou-Li-Ro (882.7 days ago)
NO WAY. It is entirely unnecessary MUTILATION. It SHOCKS me that so many people do this to their perfect little newborn sons in America and so many other places. Here in Ireland nobody does it. I think it is weird and cruel.

JerBear (882.7 days ago)
I would say circumsize as well, i heard they are not as prone to infection as if they were not circumsized because bacteria and what not can get under the foreskin. Usually the dad wants the son to be like him. u should get his input. but it is not abnormal if u dont get it done! good luck on your decision. !

pc (882.7 days ago)
I say circumsize

t555rm (882.7 days ago)
I think circumcision is good altho we didn`t for my son (dh didn`t want to). It keeps the penis cleaner and less prone to infections. Since we didn`t circumsize our son, I have to clean his penis by pulling back the skin. Ped recommended.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
