I have a new (sometimes) controversial topic.

Circumcision: Barbaric genital mutilation or necessary medical intervention?

I really don't see any reason why we should cut the skin off our child's penis just for ascetics. I know a lot of people argue that it is to avoid infections, but if you ask anyone who has a foreskin they will very likely tell you that they have never had any problems with infections. Many European countries do not practice circumcision (correct me if I am wrong on this), most other countries who do, do it for religious reasons, Americans are the only ones who seem to hold to it so tightly for no explainable reason.
