Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Dude! Just because you're Jewish doesn't mean you have to follow blindly. Fucking people and their tribalism. Look a Bernie, Jon Stewart etc they have eyes. Fuck Jerry Seinfeld.
He does. It's an ethnocult. They even brand their children as members of the cult through genital mutilation. 100% child abuse and very hard for the abused child to escape from. He's a victim of his horrible parents and their sick cult.
I'm 100000% against this genocide and anyone who is for it.
But this is straight racism / antisemitism.
I personally think it's fair to call circumcision child abuse. I've seen children aged between 4 and 8 freshly traumatized by the event -although the boys in question were muslim, I believe the practice is roughly the same -for no practical benefit at all.
More details as to why I think it's a shitty thing to force onto young boys : Imagine this, being brought somewhere -by adults you know and trust!- under the guise of showing you something cool, or some other excuse -then suddenly being forcibly held down by these same people while another nips the foreskin. Of course you're battling throughout, which makes an accident all the more likely. How do you think you feel afterwards ? that's terrifying. Traumatizing. And a sacred trust was broken. You might forget, but this has scarred you for life. All kinds of trust issues can emerge from this experience. I can't say yet to what extent, it's too early. But to me it's complete madness. It's the thoughtless perpetuation of an absurd, harmful ritual.
That's absolutely not the part I was focused on.
Ok
Huh ive honestly never heard of circumcision as either an infancy thing, where they dont remember it, or as a conscious choice made by an adult (usually as partof conversion.)
Not trying to discount your experience, just saying I dont think its common at all.
In that first paragraph did you write the opposite of what you meant?
Yeah, i totally did. Meant to say as anything other than infancy ....
Probably, that's how I understood at least
You're saying that during infancy or adulthood is LEAST common...?
If it's deliberate, I have nothing to say against it. It's your own body.
But forcing it onto boys, I can't agree with. I don't think the age at which it's done is very relevant tbh. Once in a while it's botched and the boy needs reattachment surgery. In some cases they're crippled for life, can't lead a normal sex life. These happen around me (although rarely), it's real
