Hey I'm Connor.
I'm a huge debater and I REALLY get into politics. Of course I do otherwise why would I be here.
I feel really strongly in ending male infant circumcision. No parent has the right to chose their childs fate when it comes to his genitals. Kids have died and have had their genitals cut off because of this procedure and no parent has the right to risk their childs life and genitals and well being for something THEY want that's not in the best interests of the child.
I want to come on here and vote for the changes I want to see in this country, and debate on the ones I think don't make any sense.
Also I may be on this site but I am not an Obama fan, I can tell you that right now.

Connor commented on the article |I agree with you Vinny, when you run your own frigging buisness you are within your rights to decide what you want and don't want on your website.
I bet if Google took down all links oposing abortion the feminist movement would be writing an article about how wonderful Google is. But if Google dare decide to do the opposite then OMG ITS SEXIST.
I find that horrible, and very immature. Google has every right to decide what is and isn't on their site. Just like I'm sure Jen decides what is or isn't going to be on this blog.
I'm anti-infant circumcision, I know if I were running a site I wouldn't post any link advertising a procedure that harms infants. Just like Google has the right not to support killing of fetuses.

No it's not. It's because some people just have different morals.
I'm pro-life, and that doesn't make me sexist at all.
People can be Pro-life or Pro-choice, either way it in no way reflects sexism. If you think it does then you are incredibly nieve or you just like putting bad labels on people who don't agree with you.

I find it funny that every time someone doesn't support abortion it's automaticly called sexist or has something to do with being against women's rights.
Just because you don't support abortion doesn't mean anything against women.

Connor commented on the article |Finnally, someone with common sense.
Thank you for posting this.
I whole-heartedly agree! -
Connor commented on the article |Lee where in what I said are you getting that?
I said that there are many difference studies, done in different ways and they all have multiple flaws. You asked what the flaws were and I said give me the study and I will tell you. I can't list all of them off the top of my head at the moment because not all the studies were done in the same way. You wanted me to point out the flaws so I asked for an example, any study of your choice. But nowhere out of that should you have gotten that I never have read the studies. Everything I stated in my last comment makes it pretty obvious I have read quite a few of them.
Lets try and pay attention. -

A study done in britain actually showed that circumcised homosexual men were actually more likley to transmit HIV.
I don't know how you can exsplain that.
It's not actually homosexual vs. heterosexual. It's with vaginal intercourse vs. anal intercourse. I mean heterosexuals have anal sex too. -

Show me a study and I will show you the flaws. Also one of the major things I think is disgusting about all these studies that people seem to over look. What about all the men who are now infected with HIV just to prove this point? I mean people actually support these studies that perposfully allow men to get infected with this horrible disease just so they can determine this "theory". I can't believe people don't see what's wrong with that.
What about the other means of acquiring HIV? People get it from more than just having sex: dirty needles, unstaralized medical equipent, mothers breast feeing, pregnancy, and child birth. What about those cases? circumcision doesn't protect against those cases and they make up a large part of the HIV rate in countries like the ones in Africa. Also circumcision provides no protection for women. It also doesn't provide any protection (if any in the first place) if the person who a man is having sexual contact with has a high viral load. Circumcision does not provide that degree of protection 100% of the time. I don't believe that it provides any degree of protection but I'm just saying if these studies turn out to be correct it's still not a good way of preventing HIV. Also I will point out the statment "The review found that when adult men are circumcised, their risk of HIV transmission is reduced by 38 to 66 percent over the next 24 months" What about passed 2 years? Does it provide any protection then?
There are a ton of flaws. Also you need to pay attention to the words they use the words MAY and MIGHT. They never say words that show it definatly does, they just say it MIGHT. When they say MIGHT that means it's not a fact yet. -

If it has the potential to cut HIV infection rates drasticly then why does the US have a very high circumcision rate as long as a very high HIV rate?

I don't believe the studies were done correctly. At least I haven't seen one that has been done correctly, there are always HUGE flaws. So maybe if the studies were done well and acuratly AND they could show me exactly WHY their results were that way (untill we know why circumcision reduces HIV transmissions we actually can't say that it does) , then maybe you would have a point.
I understand they are trying to prove this, however they still haven't yet. That's the point I'm arguing, it's NOT proven. -
Connor commented on the article |Yeah I mean why not spend money on finding a cure for HIV rather than waste money on these studies. Then this whole argument can end.
