We could have her give circumcision news updates which coincidently if she did we'd learn how the US now is recommending circumcisions as a way to prevent aids based on that african study you pooh poohed.That would restore the 90\10 sports talk\circumcision talk thats the norm here which is nice.

I'll alter her to post about Canadian immigration politics instead.
Why do I keep this cesspool alive?

Let's not stretch the truth to make your point.
The CDC has not made any final recommendations at this time.

Also, you should pay some attention to this:
Quote:And whether circumcision can make a significant dent in the H.I.V./AIDS crisis in this country is still being debated, because the epidemic in the United States is so different from the one in Africa. The African trials found heterosexual men were less likely to acquire the H.I.V. virus after circumcision, but largely ignored the question of whether women were safer â or possibly put at even greater risk of infection, as one small study suggested â if the man was circumcised; they also focused exclusively on heterosexual transmission, though in the United States, men who have sex with men are at higher risk.
Even Dr. Gray, who led the trials, is not sure the United States should promote circumcision. âIf you were to ask me, should the U.S. be promoting circumcision, my answer would be, âno,â â he said. âWhat I do think ought to be the policy is that parents should be informed about the potential protective effects.â
And finally, I'll repeat what has become my mantra in debating this topic with you: An infant has no chance of acquiring HIV. Should he decide to protect himself from AIDS when he can consent to the procedure himself, that's his choice. I am only against routine infant circumcision - not circumcision itself. Prudent use of condoms is far safer than infant circumcision. If he choses not to use condoms, I can`t control that any more than I could control him sticking a needle in his arm.

I'm not for it being mandatory but if studies show the good that comes with it out weighs the bad it should be promoted.Countries in Africa where condoms are scarce it should be mandatory.

I think it's a slippery slope to use one reason as support for routine infant circumcision. You assume your child would rather lose his foreskin than use a condom. You might be right, but if youre wrong, there no going back. Based on that study, I would support it in Africa. I still don't feel the results are good enough (or generalize enough) to support the practice in north america.

Being uncircumsized is the new black.
