"teacherDeb" wrote in message om... (Pointed Elbow) wrote in message . com... Collected from the web: That horror happened 23 years ago last month. I will always feel I had been guided by the hand of the Great Mother, to see the reality of that horror. I will always be grateful for that moment. Thanks for listening...Joyce in the mts. I am so tired of these circumcision posts. Are all NGs so obsessed with the penis? I know it was cross-posted, but - enough already. Cut it or don't, I don't give a ^$%^ either way. Just shut up about it. Come on Deb, the penis is the center of the universe, don't you know? What topic could be more worthy of debate? :-) These misc.kids newsgroups seem to take a regular polls on whether people are "pro" or "anti" circumcision, but maybe we should take a poll on who really doesn't care if other people circumcise their kids or not. To me it's kind of like having your baby's ears pierced - I'm not into it but don't really see it as that big a deal if other people are. I think the thing that really gets my goat are the *reasons* people give for doing it. Mostly they are pretty mundane cultural reasons, which frankly, I have no problem with. After all, I didn't choose to not circumcise my DS for any deeply considered reason - I just come from a non-circumcising culture and it was the automatic thing for me to do. Some people, however, seem to have put a lot of thought into it and come up with some pretty creepy sexual preference reasons for having it done, or some weirdo pseudo scientific rationale, and it is those reasons that make me question the act, IYKWIM? I agree that it is tedious to open yet another circ thread on a day when you are not really interested, but I do think the topic is valid for the misc.kids groups. I just wish they were all marked something like "CIRC: one mothers experience", so they were easier to skip over when not interested. eggs. |
