Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]
Witam, Peter and Jon !
That's mot my quote.
Canada, USA, Israel, South Korea and Philippines?
One for religious reasons, one a developing country, the US isn't as advanced or civilised as outsiders assume it to be and in Canada it is by no means universal.
First of all, multiple case studies involving different countries and tens of thousands of men -- gay and straight, uncircumcised and those circumcised as adults and those circumcised before puberty. The ones in all the countries, who were circumcised as children, had significantly lower rates of AIDs and HIV.
Nonsense. There was a study that showed it was (in the short term) 1.3% more effective at preventing HIV infection. No study was done about long term events and there were 3% complications from the procedure. The full study is cited elsewhere in this thread.
One of the main reasons it is not practiced in Poland is due to the long history of anti-semitism perpetuated by Catholics.
Nonsense. It just isn't done in Europe because it is a pointless and destructive mutilation.

No (the fourth constitution) and no, nothing like the second oldest University. Not even the second oldest in Europe.
in their minds, it's still connected with Jews.
NO. It isn't done much in Ireland either, where historically there have only ever been a handful of Jewish people.
Interesting that the only men defending it are those who've had the misfortune to have it done and have nothing to compare it with and no argument except stuff they've seen on the interwebs.
