No. Male circumcision was adopted as a health practice in times when religion played a bigger role in life that it does today, encompassing laws, medicine, science etc. and some of the religions that have survived from those times still advocate it. Some of them, for example Islam, do it only as a matter of tradition. No religion as far as I know advocates female circumcision.
circumcision (male or female) is founded within religion?

Who cares. What happened thousands of years ago when medical knowledge was beyond primitive is irrelevant today. And BTW, Abraham is not 'avinu' for most people.

That doesn't make much sense. Or any sense.
Read it all thanks. Several times. In English and both original languages.

No they aren't.
Go and take a pill. It's time for your meds.
Better still, take two.
Well, you country right seems like it wants to be circumcised, and go to Israel to have holy temple sex
That doesn't make much sense. Or any sense.
If you actually read the bible instead of just bad mouthing it,

I don't care.
TEMPLE SEX
What's that? Is it fun?
And what about the fact that EU courts are still based on European Christian Cannon Law
No they aren't.
t Ezekial had to do to all the temple sex worshippers (that is nuke the whole middle east!)

I would like it to be so, because the war dead will never get justice under Teutinic Knights Christian Courts!

You do seem very very confused about the concept of Mittleuropa. I suspect you actually half believe that Poland isn't in Eastern Europe. That or trying to troll.
By the way, your 'use' of wikipedia is somewhat selective.

There's something in that, however the Central Europe that some people wish Poland was part of is the old Mitteleuropa, bits of Germany, bits of The Empire etc - you can still find it in Prague, Vienna, even Berlin, however mostly only ghosts remain.
So you're still pretending you think Polish food isn't firmly within the Eastern European tradition?
I think we are putting more emphasis on the concept 'west/central/east Europe' than we should be.

You seem to assume that not being circumcised creates the problems you suggest. The experience of millions of men suggests otherwise.
It's a useless practice, though of course if someone really wants it they can always pay to have it done. Forcing it on a child is not a good thing.

You won't have any problem with a hotel in Warsaw, and as the capital it's fairly cosmopolitan. There are also bars, at least one of which is women only. I sometimes walk down the street hand-in-hand with my partner and the only rare adverse reaction has been off the same type of chav who would yell anywhere but isn't actually brave enough to do anything.

You were lucky. On my last flight, a Lufthansa Lot code share they flew Frankfurt Warsaw, circled round Warsaw for 2 hours due to fog then went back to Germany to refuel. A shame they couldn't land at Modlin or even Lodz instead.

Ironic, given most of the posters in this thread are male and some here are trotting out a point of view on abortion promulgated by celibate men. But then again, you agree more closely with that point of view, don't you.
If someone is against abortion, the don't have to have one. If someone wants to end a pregnancy, given all medical evidence that foetuses are not sentient individuals, the should be no legal impediment preventing them from doing so.

A foetus is not a baby, terminating a pregnancy is killing nothing but an assembly of unconscious cells. However much god-botherers try to pretend otherwise.

I'm sure you could easily find some pictures of hungry, unwanted children. Or women whose chance of a career has been blown due to falling pregnant. Or maybe a coffin of one of the tens of thousands of women who die every year because they try to do a home abortion because they can't sort it out properly in a clinic.
Perhaps a few photographs of what we are talking about would help us in this "discussion."
