just a bit. I mean this is what happened after a few pages:

To be honest the thread was pretty useless to start off with (just some opinion video with no analysis going on about how bad wimmen are).  An actual discussion is an improvement.

We came to an agreement on circumcision. Thus....

I don't think anyone is particularly attacking you based on your decision, or saying that the punishment should extend back into the past retroactively.  I don't think anyone's even been calling it a "crime against humanity" either since a crime against humanity implies genocide.  They're just saying that with the current evidence (showing potential problems and few health benefits) it should be gotten rid of in the future.

just because it's an improvement doesn't mean it's not a derial

should we just call this thread 'circumcision related thread' and get it over with?

And yeah, I'm not speaking here as a defender of circumcision as a grand cultural practice or anything. If it phases out and becomes a rarity, I'm fine with that. Just like lambchops as a style of facial hair.
Where I have a problem is people equating it with a crime against humanity (like lambchops as a style of facial hair) 

Dude, lambchops are awesome and they'll come back soon.

You, sir, are worse than Hitler.

Spoiler: Behold the hate! (click to show/hide)

You see that right there? That's what seething hatred looks like when concentrated in hair form.

Unless you're Lemmy, because...well, Lemmy *is* made of seething hatred. And at least his ties in with an awesome 70's metal mustache.

No, this is now the facial hair thread. So say we all.

[greatorder]

facial hair= dwarves, so it is now a dwarven facial hair thread.

Facial hair is like the formal hat.  A thing many of us nerds think can simply be affixed to the head to afford instant coolness, but in reality is a deadly minefield that few can successfully traverse.

This man speaks the truth.

Apparently I pull off Fedora's rather well. And suits too. Perhaps because I regularly wear both, and feel (and look) comfortable in them? (Also, they fit which is important)

RedKing, I want to know something.

Let's say that, hypothetically, your son grows up and discovers that you ordered him circumcised, and his opinion on the matter ends up falling on the anti-circumcision side of the argument. How will you feel then? You can't uncircumcise him. You made a one-way choice.

If you hadn't circumcised him and he wanted to be circumcised, that could be taken care of fairly easily.

He already answered that MetalSlimeHunt.

He basically said that being a parent is soo fully of "Ohh I'll mess up my kid" for you to really start isolating individual pieces.

Yeah, and mutton chops are the same.

'sexy, not sexy and looks snazzy on old dudes' sounds like a really shitty sequel to 'the good, the bad and the ugly'

[kaijyuu]

Shitty? You mean incredible.
