1. I'm Jewish, so

We brought in a specialist for this one. A little off the top and that was that.

An uncircumsized penis looks like something that should be growing out of the ground.

[Guaranteed]

3. Hey now...

I've gotten quite a few compliments on mine!

It may look kinda funny when it's, uh....bored....but, when he gets going he's a sharp looking guy.

On edit: Amputee!!

9. 'nother Jew in the hizouse!!

Jews in the house represent!
As I said in another post, the brit milah ceremony is beautiful.
It made me cry. My son, shead not one tear.
Proud, proud, proud of my circumcised men.

[Padraig18]

16. I beg your pardon?

"An uncircumsized penis looks like something that should be growing out of the ground."

Indeed?

[GOPisEvil]

28. What?

Uh, it's in its NATURAL state, thank you! Growing out of the ground indeed!

I was born in Europe, and not of a religion that mandates circumcision, so draw your own conclusions.

[TexasMexican]

2. no.

My penis is whole.

[patdem]

4. I am very angry that circumcision was 'required' when my son was born

I would much rather leave it up to him....he had no choice...and I feel horrible about it.

[kalashnikov]

11. I remember when mine got chopped

I thouroughly enjoyed it.

[7th_Sephiroth]

27. i had no choice

and the doctor fucked up, i still function, and i'm above average, he just took too much off and its painfull when i'm fully aroused

[xchrom]

5. viva la difference

i'm cut and love to play with ones that aren't -- it seems to make all concerned happy.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. Thankfully, I'm not...

But if the fundies had their way, they'd probably start requiring it.

[elfwitch]

8. excuse me??

You really need to clarify that statement.
Otherwise, I'm thinking the Jew crew here on DU will get a little upset with you.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Why? They don't require

female circumcision, do they?

[elfwitch]

13. your implication...

Was that only fundies circumcise their male children (read: mutilate). So... you are impying that Jews are either fundies or barbarians.

THAT is what you need to clarify. I can only hope that you weren't impying that and were making some other point about fundies and circumcision. If you were making the implication it SOUNDED like you were making, then you might want to rethink that a bit.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. I'm a woman...

Thought it was obvious by my nickname...sorry.

Further clarification: The question was, "Are YOU circumcised?" and my answer was, "Thankfully, not." There ARE places where female circumcision is required, and it IS barbaric.

[elfwitch]

22. fair enough...

NOW, I get the fundie reference...
Okay, I am totally with you on that one.
Anti-sex, anti-orgasm, female circumcision....
GOT IT!

I feel better now.
Thanks for the clarification.

[KG]

7. yes, and loving it.

[Darth_Kitten]

23. OH?????????

Trying to make the kitten jealous or something?

"yes and loving it"

indeed....

[KG]

25. the kitten, jealous?

thought she was above all that!

you would love it, too.

[No Passaran]

12. <----Muslim

Gotta be. It's just healty. My son is 3 1/2. He was circumcized when he was 1 day old

[Padraig18]

14. No, I'm not.

Most Irish-born men are not circumcised. Circumcision is quite uncommon in Europe.

[Jonte_1979]

17. No

Jonte Junior likes his turtleneck sweater.

[KFC]

18. I'm thinking about getting mine reattached

Better sensitivity and all.

[JanMichael]

21. WhAT?! Talk about unnecessary cosmetic sugery.

You're kidding, yes?

[NightTrain]

19. Isn't that the title of a Jimi Hendrix album?

[VOX]

20. "The Helmets" vs. "The Anteaters"

And I play for The Helmets...

[hussar]

24. Gimme some skin

wouldn't part with it for the World

[rbnyc]

26. I voted for my husband.

...and if we ever have a boy, he will not be circumsised either.

[KCDem]

29. Scott is, but if we had a boy, we wouldn't.

It isn't required by our faith and I don't buy that it's healthier.

I get mad about moms and dads who send their newborns off to be cut without observing it. If you CHOOSE to have the end of your kid's dick cut off and don't watch it yourself, I lose respect for your decision.

[No Passaran]

30. I agree about that last part

however, I was there when my newborn was circumcised. This in my house and the house of my ancestors is a very, very big step for a young kid towards Islam. We celebrate it in the fashion any Bosnian-American Liberal Muslim would: We drank the night away

[tjdee]

31. Cillian Murphy is not. But Adrien Brody probably is.

Both of them are

Hi, I'm a female, I just had to say *something*.

[Sting]

32. yes i am...

but i'm not jewish.

33. bonafide gentile, here
