That is a small part of a very large and diverse nation.
Look at our cults in this nation recently with kids endangered.

No! I hear ya! And not over reacting! Just good old poking fun at lunacy!

But I think there should be some common sense police somewhere to deal with it. LOL!

Or have them hold an egg as a science project, so as not to break it when thrown from a rooftop!

That's the answer to the eighth grade science class riddle.

Perhaps there is a benefit to tossing kids off the building too. Enhanced brain activity and growth because of adrenalin rush.
You can find benefits to a lot of things if you look hard enough.

They are both whacky things to do in my opinion.

(from WebMD)

-A decreased risk of urinary tract infections.
-A reduced risk of sexually transmitted diseases in men.
-Protection against penile cancer and a reduced risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners.
-Prevention of balanitis (inflammation of the glans) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin).
-Prevention of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location).


Yep, no benefits there that I can see. Just a crazy ritual. Time to cut your losses on this one I think rather than digging yourself any deeper.

you forgot to mention loss of sensitivity during sex

Great point! Let's outlaw condoms while we're at it...those things suck and decrease sensitivity, too.

I never said there were no drawbacks, but if that is more important than potentially getting Cancer, be my guest...

And how would you notice if you were snipped as a toddler?

The babies probably don't feel all that lucky as their going down

I guess a baby boy out of the womb is broken and we need to fix him.

sure, removing womens breasts will cut breast cancer to zero as well.

How about simply regular hygiene? You'll find that solves some of those problems nicely too.

does the odds of those things justify removing body parts? what else should we remove pre-emptively?

Maybe in Africa where aids is rampant and few listen to preventative advice it makes sense.


The origins of circumcision are far from based on modern medical science.
It came from pure ritual. Can statistics make a case? sure. But statistics can cut the other way too. No pun intended.


An actual Doctors take....

And yeah, I bet if millions of kids had been tossed off buildings and we had massive databases on their health we could find some benefit there somewhere.
Maybe they would grow up more athletic minded, or who knows what. Data can produce all kinds of patterns sometimes. Conflicting often.


The best reason was given on Southpark. Makes it look bigger. LOL
