hey, on the flip side, saw a guy drive a nail through the excess skin on his crank into a 2x4 once. had a hell of a time getting it back out. made my dick hurt just seeing that.

Knew a black dude that caught the bull head clap in Korea, dropped a medicine ball on his crank to break up the infection.

Typical night for you to watch that wv fan. U goof
 
If this were not culturally acceptable and engrained as normal in our society, we’d find it barbaric and detestable.

You all are the first to cry about female genital mutilation, a name contrived in the west to make it seem so much worse than circumcision or breast enhancement.
 
Long before I hired, way back it the steam days, there was an old engineer on the Chesapeake & Ohio Huntington Division named Jocko. For whatever reason -- his decision or a medical condition -- it was deemed late in life that he was to be circumcised.

When they got ready to administer the local anesthetic, he refused. "Just bring me a cup of coffee and the morning paper," he groused.

Well, when the forceps were applied, the excess sheath pulled back and the act performed, he took off bleeding and squealing like a stuck hog! It took about three orderlies and two doctors to tackle him as he ran down an upper hall an of the old C&O Hospital on Sixth Avenue (now a parking lot, across from where Boney's used to be).

To this day, whenever an engineer skins back on the throttle of a CSX locomotive, it is a local tradition to holler, "Peel 'er, Jocko!" True story.

Not being circumcised can cause a man a lot of issues later on in life. I have heard too many horror stories about it. I worked with a guy who was in his late 40's who had to have it done because of medical reasons. He said it was a god awful experience.

Oh, so you’re telling me circumcision is for medical reasons? Is that your best attempt?

Found the guy with dick cheese.

Nope. 9.75 cut. I just find it interesting how so many on here are hypocritical.
 
I really don't understand why guys exaggerate the size of their dicks. 9.75" huh? Hell, at that point I'm not going to argue if you round up to 10" -- twice the size of the average male penis.
 
Is Rifle trying to compare FGM to male circumcision?

Feel free to discuss how it is so drastically different. Let me help:

In many cases, it does not have a lasting impact on the female. It is, once again in my cases, a cultural thing that has no religious ties to it. Just like many parents circumcise for the aesthetic/cultural acceptance of it, many parents do the same with females for the same exact reasons.

So, you've rounded up one number (9.75 to 10) and rounded down another number (5.1 to 5), both of which help in the point you're trying to make. How convenient of you to round up with one and down with the other.

Maybe you should go back to picking-and-choosing which definitions you want to give merit to.
 
In another thread he's arguing that blacks can be racist to other blacks.

They absolutely can. You used one definition of racism that isn't supported by the other definitions of the leading dictionaries. Racism is simply discriminatory actions/behavior/thoughts towards another based on race. It doesn't have to mean that the person doing the action feels he is of a superior race.

I'm just saying you can't measure from your perineum.

My word this is uninformed.

You realize FGM cuts out the clitoris right and causes serious health problems later on?

No, you're the uninformed one. "Serious health problems" is the rarity instead of the norm. Female circumcision is commonly done by trained medical professionals. Those don't lead to "serious health problems later on." Female circumcision isn't always removing the clitoris. Many times, it is simply removing the hood of the clitoris. I brought this same topic up within the last couple of years on here.

Female circumcision, though removing more tissue, is based on the same exact thing for males. They both are mutilations which serve no health purposes and can ethically be compared as being similar.

Yes, when you are damn 70 or 80 years old and you start getting infections and that shit starts growing together and breeding bacteria and you have infections from it, then you will have wished your mom had you cut. And, I am not talking just infections on the head of your Peter, I am taking in your urinary tract and that can get in your blood stream, prostate, etc.
 
A couple of things...up to .4 round down, .5 to .9 round up...just saying.

And this argument comparing FGM to circumcision...it’s been argued here before. I’m still lost as to how anyone can equate the two. I agree that circumcisions have roots in religion and if religion isn’t your thing I have no problem with arguing it’s necessity. But stating the two are comparable is like trying to equate a hang nail with a heart attack. FGM with all the health related issues that can arise, deprives a girl/woman of their natural ability to obtain sexual gratification all for the purpose of subjugation. It’s a sickening and deplorable act practiced by third world cultures that denies basic human function. It inflicts as much mental trauma as it does medical.

Circumcision on the other hand, although you might argue that it’s unnecessary and has its roots in archaic religious rituals, you really can’t point to trauma or diminished pleasure. The two...they ain’t comparable. Can anyone here even remember their circumcision? Is anyone traumatized? Does anyone have a diminished ability to experience pleasure?

You need to learn more about it. A high number of parents who elect to have their daughter get circumcised do it for societal acceptance. A female who doesn't have it done and is intimate faces the same ridicule/hesitation (for lack of better words) that uncircumcised guys face from some partners. Why? Because each non-practice is a little taboo in both cultures.

In that culture, not having it done gives the girl a promiscuous reputation and leads to disapproval from partners. Likewise, being circumcised in our culture is far more about aesthetics and societal acceptance (later in life) than it is about health or religious concerns.

Both practices are mutilating the bodies of non-consenting people for things that trivial at best. Removing more tissue doesn't make one any worse than the other. The ethics, or lack thereof of both, are completely related.

True, except basic numeric rounding principles don't apply when discussing the male crank. It's common knowledge that 99.84% of the male population round up by a minimum of three inches.

You are arguing just to argue. They are in no way comparable.

Now that's funny...and true. Rox hit the nail on the head (see what I did there) with his comment about legitimate size.

You're arguing only one point in this and totally ignoring the others. Here are the issues...

1. FGM (incuding FGC) and male circumcision (MC) are constructs of archaic religious practices that have become engrained in our culture and are unnecessary practices.

2. FGM robs a girl/woman of the ability to ever have sexual gratification. MC does not.

3. FGM had the intent of subjugation. MC does not.

4. FGM has long lasting and traumatic psychological ramifications. MC does not.

You are disregarding 2-4 and trying to win your argument with 1. Most probably agree in part with your argument. But you just can't ignore the other stuff. Just think of the trauma in your life if you suddenly lost the ability to have sexual pleasure. Based on your historical posting it's obviously a large part of your life. Deprived of it you would be a psychological wreck because it's how you define yourself.

No...no comparison between the two. But I'm just going to take a guess that you won't be convinced of it .
