Since circumcision is debated so much here, I thought you guys (and gals) would like to see a video of the procedure. Turn down your volume as the screams of pain are pretty loud.

The worst part about this video is that the procedure is completely unnecessary. That poor infant surely no idea idea what he was in for when he was strapped onto that table.

Circumcision doesn't deserve to be called "circumcision". It's male genital mutilation.

Can we put this as a link on the side? ---->

I've seen the worst of the internet, and seen videos like this before, this is still pretty damn hard to watch. I played a video similar like this when I did a presentation to a class I was in, a few people had to leave the room until the video was over.

I started thinking about this subject, after watching Michael Moore's documentary 'Bowling for Columbine' where he makes the point that gun ownership in Canada, approaches gun ownership in the US, yet gun crime in the states is far higher, why? So I started digging around in nationmaster as regards national statistics and male circumcision rates and this caught my eye. The majority of men are circumcised in the following nations.

http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Circumcision -(male)

Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali ,Mauritania, Nigeria, Niger, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Republic of the Congo, Samoa,Tonga, Saudi Arabia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Korea, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, United States of America, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu and Yemen.

My contention is that it does not change the individual that much, but changes society.

The foreskin contains around 20000 nerve endings which plumb into the brain's limbic system, the limbic system is the conductor of the brain's emotional orchestra. The foreskin is actually an organ of the brain not an organ of the genitalia, which is why you can remove it with seemingly no effect, especially when it is done when a little baby.

The emotional effect is not that noticeable in the individual, but collectively explains why American society is so violent and has overflowing prisons.

My hypothesis is that it might make the male ever so slightly more narrow minded, which would explain the very puzzling fact that the majority of Americans do not agree with evolution. We are mammals, all male mammals have a foreskin. It would be easy to think there was no problem with circumcision if you disagreed with evolution.

The main point being, I have a foreskin and have a degree of narrow mindedness, and there is probably circumcised men out there who are less narrow minded than I am, if I had, had my foreskin removed when a little baby I would probably be even more narrow minded than I already am. And likewise somebody who was circumcised when a baby, if they had not have been circumcised, probably would be slightly less narrow minded.

The only way to check this out, is to find a couple who would normally practice circumcision and are about to have identical twin boys and pay them big dollar to not circumcise one of them.

People go on about how crazy the chess player Bobby Fischer was, without knowing what caused his somewhat strange behaviour, the reason he hated America and the Jews was a classic case of alienation. What is not widely known about Fischer is, he was not circumcised, which is why he said he was not Jewish. One can imagine him in the locker room being teased for not being sic normal.

One of the biggest reasons why this somewhat strange practice continues is, men who have had their foreskins removed when tiny babies, have no subjective notions of what a foreskin actually is.

More and more males are restoring their foreskins and are saying how much better things are with a foreskin.

I wish we could sticky this video.

It's a great response to 'women have it worse.' Worse then this?

Couldn't watch. At the point where the doctor puts a needle in the boy's penis, I was all CTRL-W! CTRL-W! CTRL-W!

But thanks for posting anyway.

university_dude · 2011-07-08T22:25:20+00:00

i've watched a lot of sick shit on the internet but i'm having trouble watching this.

ThePigman · 2011-07-08T22:01:15+00:00

I can't bring myself to watch this, it would make me feel violent.

I got to the part where he moved the anesthetic needle without removing it before I had to turn it off. Not going to do this to my son.

thingsarebad · 2011-07-09T06:36:12+00:00

I didn't know babies undergoing torture could sound worse than a cat being attacked in the middle of the night.

rockidol · 2011-07-08T23:03:03+00:00

Ugh no thanks, I cringed when I watched the 10 seconds clips Penn and Teller showed in their circumcision episode.

ThePigman · 2011-07-08T22:24:11+00:00

Disgusting. After watching it i had to spend a couple of minutes trying not to throw up - and i watch autopsies for fun.

Sensationalist much? Isn't this an argument that anesthetic should be applied and perhaps the procedure should be done at a later age? Yes, it's painful to watch, but a video of a person getting open heart surgery with no painkillers isn't a logical argument against heart surgery, it's sensationalism.

I have yet to be convinced either way on the circumcision debate, but this won't convince any one. We can do better.
