Wow, Kimstu, coming from you that’s high honors indeed. 
Maybe we can collaborate on a G&S haiku next?
Right, back to your regular programming. Up next, “Who Wants to Marry an Uncut Millionaire?”.
But it feels so good when I quit!!
Esprix I’m quitting as well. Not because of his total inability to think linearly, nor his breathtaking conspiracy-theory, by which circumcision is blamed for everything from the Arab-Israeli conflict to the too-loud sexual responses of women, nor his periodically insulting replies (which the mods are graciously tolerating), nor even his “debating” style, which is the written equivalent of sticking his fingers in his ears and singing the Star-Spangled Banner whenever anyone says anything he disagrees with, but for something even worse. It’s the worse condemnation I can give in the context of a message board:
I’m bored with it. JACK used to be entertaining – sometimes hilariously so, and I honestly thank you for that, Jack – but now he’s boring. He’s still posting the same tripe he posted on page one – almost verbatim – but the novelty has worn off and his particular brand of lunacy isn’t even very amusing any more. So adieu to THIS thread and, I assume, to Jack, since I’ve seen no evidence he even thinks, much less talks, about any other subject.

Super! How about:
No circumcision content, though.

Let’s see what the results show, shall we?
Opal, excellent idea! I’ll be interested to see what your survey shows.
Of course, if it shows anything contrary to JDT’s point of view, it will, of course, not be “research” like he’s engaged in (LAOMD - see Pit for this).
Who were the 9 people who thought foreskins were gross?
Or was that just to get Jackie in a tirade?
[I had to look up the wet spot reference because I couldn’t believe it was what I thought it was and then saw that Jack had said there is no wet spot with an intact man… OMG! Jackie boy, a wet spot comes from orgasms. Plus, some men/women are much more … to put it gently, fluid-producing than others. If you’ve never heard the slosh slosh of happiness, you haven’t lived, well you haven’t properly screwed anyway]
You dopers keep saying you are leaving… liars.
wonders how many times Jack has cum while jerking off to the material of this thread :o
(Hey, what happened to my post lauding Hamadryad’s G&S circ parody? There are so many threads on this silly issue that I can’t keep track of them. Look it up though, it was funny.)
JDT replied to me: *then how do you explain the hundreds or thousands of men who chose to be circumcised as adults and prefer being circumcised?
Where are these men <laugh>? *
They are quoted and discussed at the very Web sites that I linked to on this thread just a few posts back! Sure, the fact that there are web sites about them doesn’t prove they’re real, but on the other hand the fact that the CIRP web site exists doesn’t prove that there really are people who oppose circumcision either. You can’t go on simply expecting everyone to accept the truth of your own assertions while at the same time denying or disparaging all assertions that disagree with you.
*Or those who have always been circumcised and are very happy with their sex lives, as are their sexual partners?
(Every man comes into the world intact) This is a result of denial, ignorance, or antisocial personality disorder.
If your only response to these opposing viewpoints is to allege a vast medical conspiracy and the brainwashing of the masses, you are no longer having the sort of conversation that a reasonable person can participate in. *
Which is exactly what you just did. And even I, as naive and optimistic as BunnyGirl called me, now have to admit that this is hopeless. You are no longer having a conversation that a reasonable person can participate in.
One last haiku for Cantrip:
Forward we go, we
go, forward to meet the foe—
yes, but you don’t go!
But this time I really do. Last one out turn off the lights, please…
…to read this whole thread. But my eyes started crossing and blurring. I read a whole lot, though, so lambast me for being ignorant and uninformed…it doesn’t hurt…much. I’m new here and I’m not accustomed to everything yet.
Someone eons ago someone asked Jack if he was circumcised. Was there answer to that? I remember a lot of hemming and hawing about posters not using their real identities, and therefor could not be considered trustworthy, but in a case such as this, I would think this would be critical information. I’d rather know the cut/un-cut status than a “real” name.
(To be honest, I really DON"T want to know this information in general, but it would helpful in understanding Jack’s stance.)
So, do any of you know (I guess you would know best, Jack)?
If you are ,Jack, have you tried to extend your foreskin with the various methods discussed here?
For the record:
- Yes, I have no bannanna’s (I like to use the word “bannanna” instead of “foreskin”).
- I am not, nor ever have been, a serial rapist.
- If I had more than 500 posts I would put “Hi, Opal!” here.
- I like my little footle (I prefer to use the word “footle” instead of “penis”. I know I’m not alone in this.)
- If making love were any more enjoyable I would die, ascend to heaven, and take my place as the right hand of God.
- My SO concurs this would also be true for her, except she would be the left hand of God, and together we would cleave the heavens.
- Everything above is true except for the “cleaving of heaven” part.
So, there it is. Please help me with this question.
You people are so good, I’d like to slap you on a plate, and sop you up with a biscuit. (I’m also for the south. I like to use the word “biscuit” for “biscuit”).
thanks,
blast
No, he refuses to say.
His reason for this refusal is that he is “a researcher,” so he does not have to reveal the status of his foreskin or lack thereof. This, of course, is a bullshit excuse, because real researchers readily admit to the factors that might cause them to be biased, thereby snipping potential criticism in the bud.
Well, I think we can safely call and end to this “debate.”
Jack has finally conceded in this reply by stating…
I’d say our work here is finished. 
O fer cryin out loud.
Guys (as if you need this advice) :
Please.
If your doctor diagnoses your abdominal pain as appendicitis, you probably shouldn’t wait for even a second opinion. Get your appendix out – it can be done through a small incision through a laparoscope usually.
I will describe this scientificalably.
Appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix, about the size of your pinky normally) occurs when a piece of poo gets lodged in the opening of the appendix. This cuts off blood supply. In the now oxygen-deprived environment, colonic flora go nuts and form a nice big abcess. No antibiotics in the world will stop this. The only possible consequence of waiting is that your appendix will rupture, you will be peritonitis, and you will have to have an open laparotomy which takes a month to heal. If it is bad enough, they won’t be able to close your abdominal cavity, and you will be left with a bag covering your guts until it scars over.
While it is true that the appendix does contain lymph nodes and some T cell patches (it is a common site for lymphoma of the gut), there is no good reason not to take it out. And very, very good reasons not to leave it in. And, no, not every cell type, receptor, and function of the appendix is characterized. What is well characterized is peritonitis leading to septic shock, multi organ failure, and death.
Don’t take Jack’s advice about surgery. Please.
Bull. Cite or retract. Two choices, pick one.
Sorry to be snippy (no pun), but I’m getting tired of medical anecdotes thrown around without any cite or facts to back them up.
I wouldn’t take JDT’s advice on how to butter my toast.
[Spicoli] Make up your mind, dude! [/Spicoli] 
I have been trying to ignore this thread, but my inclination to rubber-neck finally drew me in.
After all the election threads, I have to say I enjoyed reading the last two pages of this thread. I don’t know if I could have taken much more, but the dose I did take was funny.
Jack–you are a lunatic.
If I had been trying to participate in a debate in here, I think I would be facing a meltdow like many of you seem to be. For the rest of us, this thread is a riot.
After I posted, I had this nightmare image of Jack posting on all the other threads with a sig line that says:
Evidently I rock:
Penile Lengthening Column, **The circumcision thread: restored **, Whatever the Next Thread is Called
[JDT]You know, of course, that the only correct way to do this is to slowly melt the butter with your foreskin. The foreskin will then magically suck up the butter. You may then deposit the butter on the toast by rubbing the dorsal side on the toast. Applying the butter with a circumcised penis or your tongue pales in comparison. And of course, you don’t want to get a knife anywhere near the toast because you might accidentally circumcise yourself without even knowing it. Women who say that it’s ok to use a knife (serrated or not) simply don’t know any better.[/JDT]
