It is generally accepted that infants feel pain as much or more than do older children and adults. It took a public outcry to end open-heart surgery on infants without anesthetic. Yet circumcisions continue without pain relief.

Open heart surgery without anesthetics? The thought of that just made me cringe.

Bullshit. If you're going to bitch about something that has no effect on you at least get your facts straight. They use a local anesthetic.

The dishonesty of this is disgusting. Comparing male circumcisions to female ones is another dishonesty - for female circumcisions they remove the clitoris entirely which is not the same thing unless you ignore biology entirely. Another outright lie is the claim that being clipped somehow makes you less or more sensitive, depending on what whinefest the person is trying to get you to swallow.

Do your own research in to it. Don't believe anyone else's conclusions but your own, dismiss the conclusions of others outright. Think for your fucking self.

edit: And before some non-thinking moron says it, I am the proud owner of a penis myself and have been all my life.
