Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]
no i didn't. get your $hit straight people. Africa was used as a point of reference by mondafinil, I responded to it.
glad someone else on here is speaking some voice of reason. i've had enough of people generalizing on here and grouping me into something i simply don't represent.
this forum continually tries to make people out to be monsters and it's unfair. you say one thing negative and suddenly anything negative that's been brought up on an entire thread magically becomes your point of view as well in their eyes. it makes carrying on a conversation pretty futile.
So why choose Africa at all as an example to advocate genital mutilating. After all, you brought the place up.

Hello Natasia, No one is trying to convince you that Poland is backwards just because of this.

there's international, and then there's a continent with the most 3rd world countries in the world where access to clean drinking water is rare and running water.......forget it, that number could be in the single digits. the point being, choosing Africa as a reference for "circumcisions gone bad" is just plain silly.

we are talking about medical operations in Africa, are we not? half the circumcisions there are probably conducted inside a mud hut with a sharp piece of shale rock.
men circumcised in Africa could be subject to a complication rate of 35% for a traditional circumcision or 18% for a clinical circumcision.

I disagree. Whether you agree with what he wrote or not, it's pretty well thought out and I can totally understand a lot of what he's saying.
All this thread is going to generate is the typical Polish defenders who simply cannot take any criticism about their country.....maybe another thing the OP should have mentioned about Poland. Polish people love to complain and $hit on their country.....but only they're allowed to do it. Someone from the "outside" says it and they will fight tooth and nail to deny it.
i give this thread just a few more hours till it turns into a Poland vs. USA thing (even though the OP isn't American).

I would also guess that the USA's higher levels are greatly due to the large homosexual population and african american population, 2 groups that have a much higher STD infection rate than the rest of the USA's population. America has a loooooooooooooot of homosexuals and tens of millions of african americans....and a lot of african american homosexuals for that matter.
Britain's incidence is commonly known to be due to higher levels of promiscuity.

Dude......"No" what? What are you saying "No" to?

No. Even where it isn't practised, you find the odd one, and even where boys and men are routinely mutilated you find people lucky enough not to have bits cut off them. I speak from experience ;-)

Every language that isn't your own sounds "unnatural". That's a nonstatement. And no, that's not all. Polish structure is the least of most people's problems. The case system, the ridiculous numbering system, verb conjugation....just to name a few presents much larger problems.

"but check this out......so the guy says to me....why are you doing that? and you know what, I say to the guy....."
look familiar?
poles tell stories often times the same exact way. in fact it's very convenient because when i am telling a story to my mother in law, i can think in english and use the tenses the same as in my language.
I would presume by "mówi", and not "mówił", that present rather than past is indicated:-)
Then again, idiomatic usage prevails, throwing off ALL preconceived notions of correctness.

i'm not arguing whether circumcision is necessary or not, that's an argument you're having with the others. i'm arguing the statements earlier saying that human nature couldn't possibly give us something unnecessary, inefficient, counterproductive, etc., suggesting we're this perfect design.
i'm not arguing you couldn't and that only bolsters my point.
again, there is a long list of things that nature gets sooooo wrong at a consistent rate, even though it shouldn't be there or isn't really necessary, unless you have some sort of explanation as to why foreskin is much less of a "mistake" compared to say an appendix in today's man.
foreskin only seems more significant to you because it's on the outside hanging off an intimate part of the body. again, not arguing for circumcision, just saying that you can't argue the necessity for it with that angle. it doesn't hold water.
I don't care one way or the other but the line of reasoning you're trying to use is a joke.

You could make the same list for anything in nature though:
i'm not arguing you couldn't and that only bolsters my point.
However, nature doesn't get it soooo wrong at such a consistent level as to endow every male of a species (and not just one species in this case) with something that shouldn't be there for so long.

oh OK, but I guess nature intended us to have:
weak, poorly built knees, spine, hips....some design huh?
women's pelvis/hips/birth canal way too small and weak for birth. before modern medicine, it was common for women to die from childbirth.....some design huh?
wisdom teeth that come in late in the teen years/early 20's that force the adult teeth in the mouth to shift and cause pain, infection, which is why we always have them removed. imagine the pain people were in years ago before modern dentistry. some design, huh?
constant sinus trouble like infection, polyps, snoring due to a restrictive airway....some design huh?
weak eyesight. i've worn corrective lenses since I was 9 and without them, i couldn't carry on a normal life. an estimated 75% of all Americans wear some form of corrective lenses. having normal eyesight is the exception to the rule. some design, huh?
the human espophagus is a terrible design.
flat feet.
acne.
hair loss. may not seem like a big deal now (aside from aesthetics) but if you lived somewhere really cold years ago, it would be a major problem.
the human species is riddledwith physical insufficiencies and most other species in our world make us look like genetic disasters.
