We were advised for my son to have braces. His teeth were not "perfect" but looked okay to me. My wife arranged to him to go to the orthodontist. He got those anchor things on his molars. He was so miserable just getting that done. I took him to the second visit and had a frank talk with the orthodontist who told me that basically the procedure was cosmetic. We took the anchors out and that was that. That was a great day.



Well aren't braces just oral mutilation? Sure in some cases it stops people from being able to chew with the correct teeth, but often it's really just for aesthetics because people can still go on to live a normal life without correction.

I was circumcised as a child. No rabbi sucked my dick and I don't remember any pain. I do however remember the prolonged discomfort every few days after having my braces adjusted.

If your argument is parents taking kids to get something physically changed and the child being in discomfort, is it really that different?[/quote]

Um just to clarify circumcision performed but a doctor has health benefits.

So getting your dick sucked as an infant by a "holy man" has a legitimate health reason? I had the procedure done in infancy as a routine medical procedure, but its now questionable if it has any legitimate benefit..[/quote]
See above.

Please explain? I'm no worse off having been circumcised and remember nothing. My braces though, I recall that pain vividly.

aaaand the moral equivalency SJWs come out like clock work.


this is a horrific practice. even the usual LR asshats agree. Let the condemnation stand as it is. If you're against circumcision that's all fine and good--but let condemnation of this horrible practice stand on its own horrible merits.

Good God!

So you're ok with a rabbi sucking an infant's dick after circumcizing it, and some of those infants dying from herpes caught from said rabbi?

Well, of course that's not at all what he said. But in true LR fashion, why should that stop you from tossing out accusations.

Because he was doing the same thing.

No, he really wasn't. He just asked that we acknowledge the horror of this particular practice without trying to mitigate or create equivalencies with other practices.

And if he read my original post he would have read me beginning with, off topic...

Carry on.

Well then, so long as you said off topic, I guess anything goes,...

I am sorry I make you sad.

I'd be sad too if I 'd have to miss out great sensations.
