Oh No! It's Another Thread About Circumcision.

Re: The story of a man who was forcible circumcised at a tabletop at the age of 8. In the US.

^Yep , it is silly , but it happens all the time . As for demonizing someone , nope , the medical profession no longer "advocates" this procedure on the grounds of aesthetics alone , well not here anyway .
You can have reconstructive surgery , though in a lot of cases this can make things worse . Also i think "hate" and "angry" are different,
that is why i said " not happy "

^At the same time, if the medical profession was advocating it and it was recommended to parents who took their trusted doctor's advice, I don't think we should demonise them for it.

Men who hate their parents because their parents thought they were acting in the boy's best interests are simply ridiculous.

-d-

Though, to be fair, lots of parents were oblivious to any medical advice, and they made the decision based on "we want him to look like dad" or "jesus told me to" or something like that. It wasn't all trusted doctor's advice. Lots weren't even trying for a rational decision.

Some years ago, an obnoxious JUB idiot posted that he and his wife had their boys cut because his wife said she'd never suck an uncut dick.

As I recall, this was before our Elroy was on the scene, but still, I wouldn't be surprised to find this woman's name listed on the Auto's family [STRIKE]tree[/STRIKE] stick.

I've heard the "mom's sexual preference" defense a few times since. Creepy as fuck.

As you well know, even doctors have their own prejudices, so it is not unusual for them to recommend circumcision to patients when that is their personal preference. It's not necessarily based on any science.

Agreed. However, in the Olden Days (pre-internet), not trusting your own doctor was unheard of.

Even when it comes to medications, patients should not blindly accept their trusted physician if they have doubts and need time to do their own research. A good doctor would even encourage it and work with the patient.

Agreed again; much easier in the modern age than previously, of course. However, I'm sure you'll find many a little old lady who would find it unthinkable to second-guess her primary care physician.

Fair enough.

One wonders, though, how many paediatricians and the like were advocating against when the parents suggested/requested it.

^All good points , i would like to think that Doctors now are more "sensitive" to their patients . There are still Drs around who fit your description to a tee .
There always will be . Great point about "money" .

It makes a big difference when the title of the thread is used to state something terrible happened in a country that it didn't happen in and the majority of members here happen to live in said country. What makes it worse is the fact the"error" cough cough could easily be corrected but hasn't been. Instead we're told it was an oversight. Never mind the long title with and shock face that was used for emphasis and help sensationalize a story that is suspect It speaks volumes but we're just members. What do we know.

I think parents, traditions, customs are the biggest reason for it, not doctors. It's like being Jewish or muslim, you don't eat pork and you circumcise your sons, even if you are totally not religious in every other way.

We know that it's all about the eyeball count. Uber alles. And as long as that's kept in mind, everything else falls into place.

Out of the first 10 replies, 7 were made for no other reason than to address the address . . . and on it went. . . .

Many threads get going with two or more separate issues in one thread, so that's not a big deal, really, except when, like here, the sidetrack is nothing more than an attempt to avoid/cover up the threads real topic.

At any time, Corny could/can change the title, and remove any posts not applicable to savage child abuse. But, that would probably be more of an "abuse of power", though, than to let the thread stay as is.

And, as it sits, we get to see who is on a mission, or has an agenda, just by opening up the "who posted" box to see who the top contributors are, and then reading the main theme of their increasingly ugly posts.

Re: The story of a man who was forcible circumcised at a tabletop at the age of 8. In the US.

Actually, the thread does serve a positive cause: it demonstrates without question the bias of a senior admin of the site. The most generous allowance would be that it was an oversight, but the subsequent intransigence proves that is unlikely.

The abuse of power, even in moderating an online forum, is a transgression that should be noted and bear its own stigma.

Thankfully, it is the exception for the mods in Hot Topics.

Oh dear someone, being a bit bitter, eh? But it completes the picture of the real you that is slowly surfacing since your previous ragequit.

Thank you. The problem is: as you do it, you do it wrong. It was an embarassing mistake (completely different from what people have been suspecting :rol..) that I could have easily swept under the rug. But the very same people would be crying foul play then, too.

So why specify it in the title, just to bash and shit in the U.S.?

I don't think that was Corny's intent in starting the thread. And it's not muckraking...I just take it at face value as a shocking story. But it could have happened in Zimbabwe or anyplace...even Germany.

Nope...nothing to see here ...

Wow JUB really is back on track,

A cut/uncut thread, touchy Canadians and Mod bashing.

All we need now are some Glee gifs.

Re: The story of a man who was forcible circumcised at a tabletop at the age of 8. In the US.

Something doesn't sound right here.
It supposedly happened in Montreal, which any North American school child knows, is located in the Province of Quebec, which is in the nation of Canada.
The story says that he received a grant from the government of British Columbia, which is a province in the western part of Canada.
Why would one province pay for the injustice caused in another province? And if it happened in a Catholic church-run facility, shouldn't the Archdiocese of Montreal be the responsible party?
The facts just are not fitting for me right now...

They rarely do in these kinds of stories.

That's like trading a stealth bomber for a Ford Pinto.

Lex

That is just disrespectful to Ford Pintos. Your analogy would be better if the horse car was replaced with a second-hand Schwinn.

As we all known, it's not rare that an US city got it's name from a different city. There are towns named Montreal in Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri and Wisconsin .. I assumed that the article is talking about an US city since an US court granted him his reconstruction surgery.

Anyway, the location is not that important to the story ...

On the contrary, when the location is in question it puts the whole story in question. A story that spans two countries and two different provinces in the same country (and not even neighboring provinces at that) in a story such as this puts the lie to the whole story. Just thinking about the US..... One state has no real say in the goings on in another state, I would expect it to be the same for Canadian provinces... The provincial court of one would have no say in the ruling on a suit brought up on actions taken in another. If British Columbia were to attempt to take action on events in Quebec, Ontario would have something to say. That province would not want to be caught in the middle (where it literally is). The same goes for activities occurring in the jurisdiction of one sovereign nation being adjudicated in another nation. US courts would have no authority to award any monies in a suit brought up in BC, Canada...... whether it happened in BC or Quebec.

We'll be expecting photos of moose and Cubans.

One can only find Cuban Mooses (Meese, Meeses? ) in Madagascar this time of year - its Summer and they're on Holiday from the Vatican, USSR.
