H,

With all due respect you did some research, overshot the mark and got your Rs kicked.

This is a non issue, the pros and cons are so weak that it should be left to choice, and I don't care who does or does not.

What I resent is a bunch of old biddies trying to organise to tell me what I can and cannot do, especially when their only motivation is what they feel. I don't care what anyone else does, (I aso have no intention to decide for my grandchildren (much later)), but if anyone wants to control what I do, they better have a bloody good reason.

I have nothing per se against older women, as only a very small proportion have the hubris to feel that they have the moral authority to tell everyone else what to do, but where ever there is a movement to ban, restrict or otherwise get the nanny state to interfere in our lives, there are sure to be either religious fruitcakes or interfering old bats.

Having read your posts in other threads, I would have thought that you were sufficiently pro freedom of choice not to take up cudgels for the "thy shalt not" brigade.

'you did some research, overshot the mark and got your Rs kicked.'

Well, it's an original definition of research googling 're-grow foreskin' and posting a link to the first article I could find. Note, I didn't even read the article.

But you have your 'win'. As Yoda said once, 'Victory, what victory. Begun... the dick wars.... have.

Got my Rs kicked? Ha. Seriously man, you might be able to replace that special place in my heart I have for Col Rouge if you keep up that style but add some chutzpah and wit to your posts. I love it when a posters sees things as a war. Go you! We need more like you. Just save it up for someone who isn't gonna be more impressed than upset with that kind of gear.

Oh, but I'm flexible. Nearly as flexible as Foxy, just in a different way. Don't you love it how I change teams. Now you see me now you don't... is it a guy, is it a girl, I'm not sure I mind?

You sound like you could do with some more excitement in your life. Maybe even a little lovin'.

Houellebecq,

"Not me. I just don't care enough."

Fair comment. Although I had a reasonable knowledge even earlier my main research was done for my own children not for this forum.

"I actually think it's kinda sad how much stake you guys have in proving that circumcision is the way to go."

I find misinformation with regard to preventative health issues extremely annoying. In particular the sensitivity thing in this arena and the autism thing with immunisation are sore spots for me. Both are wielded forcefully but neither are consistent with the research.

"Each person will make their own mind up. Why are you so threatened by other people not wanting to circumcise their kids?"

Not threatened at all but that doesn't mean misinformation should be spread unchallenged. Parents should be able to make an informed choice based on accurate information not be told nonsense about merely removing a flap of skin making men sexual cripples.

"Haven't you heard that anything that is 'natural' is better these days. Get with the program."

Don't call a kettle black. What about Ruddie's call for more preventative medicine.

H,

I put that stinger in to catch you at your own game. You got your knicker in a twist so fast that you needed to fire off 2 posts to tell me how little you cared.

"methinks she does protest too much"

"Oh, but I'm flexible. Nearly as flexible as Foxy, just in a different way. Don't you love it how I change teams. Now you see me now you don't... is it a guy, is it a girl, I'm not sure I mind?"

But at least now we have you pegged as OLO's village idiot and won't make the mistake of taking you seriously again.

S&M,

Woo hoo. A worthy adversary. Respect! I may yet come to like you as much as Col. Do you know him? I wonder how you two would get on.

Don't get all flattered about extra posts. Actually only one was about not caring. The other was because I like Noel Fielding.

Graham in his wisdom has allowed me to fire off quick posts and I can use the scatter-gun more. I used to craft all my responses to draw out enemy fire and save ammunition. Like you, I like wars too, but it's no longer necessary.

That was silly of me explaining my magic tricks to you. Too bad, once you know the secret the true magic is lost. You're the one missing out though, believe me!

You can probably guess I haven't much to do this afternoon.
Don't lie, you're riveted. Should I go on?
