In this post you said
" This is a routine proceedure and PROPERLY carried out will have no problems."
I have to disagree. This proceedure has problems 100% of the time. Long term there will always be a growth of callus over the glans resulting in less sensitivity. That is a known fact and there is little room for debate on that point.
Besides that there are many other problems that are common when circumcision is preformed by what is called a qualified doctor.

"Give me a break. Please. 40-50 years ago no one would even bring the subject up, most 90% or better were circumcised and evrything was fine
I reply
Was everything fine or were any problems just not talked about? Nobody talking about complications or very few people knowing about complications and problems does not make them fine. The problems were still there but they just were not talked about.
Also you say to look back 40- 50 years. Lets look back a bit further.
80 - 100 years ago almost 100% of the population was uncircumcised and everything was fine. Also lets have a look at europe. Their standard of health care is considered to be much better than here in the US and the rate of circumcision there is VERY low and again everything is fine.
Also you said in yet another post
It sounds like to me a bunch of feministic propaganda. Your grandmother was not running around promotion this, why should you.
I reply
Your great great grandmother or great great grandfather was not running around premoting circumcision, why should you?
You also said in another post
"Just circumcise them all and quit whining about it."
Therefore you think at very least that we should drive up health care costs and insurance costs by preforming unneeded surgery rutinely. I cannot understand that.
Is there any other unneeded surgery that you think should be preformed rutinely or is circumcision in some special catagory and if so for what reason?
Although you said that "This is a routine proceedure and PROPERLY carried out will have no problems." The fact is still there that complacations and problems after circumcision are common. That tends to imply that very often this proceedure is not done properly and once again I have to ask why do it at all? Evan if it was always done properly and there were no problems or complications there still seems to be few or no benifits so again why do it at all?
