There was a man who used to stand in front of the hospital holding signs protesting cirucmsion.
I told Brendon it was his decision with the boys since it was a guy thing. He thought I was crazy to consider not having them circumcised. I just figured I would give him an opportunity to argue against. It still made me sad when they did it, because, OUCH!

I remember feeling very badly for Ben. I don't remember it with Chris, at all, which is funny, because that's so much more recent.
Tep, heh, I posted my second comment before I saw your edits.
Plus, correlation doesn't mean prediction. If a study says that people who drink tap water are more likely to grow a tail than people who drink bottled water, what does that mean? Without the numbers, it's a useless correlation.
Maybe the tap water drinkers grow tails at a rate of 1 person per 10,000 and the bottled water drinkers grow tails at a rate of .5 person per 10,000.
Looking at the numbers, the tap water drinkers are still very unlikely to grow a tail. So the uncircumcised/cervical cancer correlation could be statistically noteworthy and yet still very very minor in practical terms.
Or, you could just STOP HAVING SEX, hussy!
Go vw!
You gotta wonder how the whole circumcision thing got started. It's a pretty weird practice.

Jewish history. It's in the Bible. (not sure of specifics right now)

Ya know, one of the reasons I got married was that people would stop calling me that!
I can't be a hussy for doing it with my husband!

Oh, honey. I grew up Catholic and spent 5 years in a freak-ass church. I can think of about 100 ways in which you're a hussy for having sex with your husband.
(I would be a truly dangerous person if I still believed any of that shit.)

Not Jewish, but didn't Abraham circumcise himself at age 80 as a sign of his covenant with God?
OK, smegma == bad.
Yes, this factored into my decision for circumcision.
