The Straight Dope On Why We Circumcise Boys

I don’t have anything to add to this thread, other than to say that this is the Og-damned funniest discussion I have seen on these boards, especially in how at least half the posters still seem to take the subject seriously. I’m surprised someone hasn’t tried to slip in an “Every Sperm Is Sacred” reference.

I nominate this for Threadspotting.

I also nominate the phrase “I am sorry you have guilt and anger but I hope you get over it in the future so you can be happy with yourself,” as the new snarky catchphrase for hip Dopers, overtaking the threadbare “Once for 20 minutes…”, the obsolescent “I, for one, welcome our new ________ overlords”, and the appallingly antediluvian “1920’s Style Death Rays”. (Sorry, Ray.) I still think “penis ensues” has some milage left in it, though.

Now returning you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Thanks for adding some light to this thread: It’s about time. I even find commedy in the phrase “I am sorry you have guilt and anger but I hope you get over it in the future so you can be happy with yourself” I wrote that and your right it does get a good laugh when you read it… At least from those of us with a sense of humour.

You are right… people do take this thread too seriously and they shouldn’t.
I know that I created this thread and I am also well aware at how popular it has become.that is why I keep it up. People just can’t get enough of my circumcision thread and the web masters must not be complaining because it is making there site very popular and usefull…

I am the master of my domain :stuck_out_tongue:

Heck I even got to the moderator and he threatened me for absolutely no reason other than his own guilt. He accused me of personaly insulting a poster, yet the funny thing is that the moderator completely ignores the 15 or 20 other posts that directly insult me.

So yes I thank you all for your support and I am glad that I got your emotions up and running. That was not my intention,but it was the result!

I will now bid you all farewell, the moderator can do as he likes with my popular little thread as I think it is not going anywhere but in circles. Besides i only have a 30 day guest membership and would not seriously consider actually paying money to be able to read the posts on this site! :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyhow I conqured once again on the internet and I Beat you all at your game as I am the best and there is nobody that can beat me when it comes to intellectualism. I clearly proved that to you.

I would like to thank "Mr2001, Stage Manager, Guinastatsia, Pravnick, DocCathode, Cervaise, Gaudere, Khiadra, Little Nemo, Bear_Neno, Strinka, Polycarp, Futile Gesture, Snickers, Lochdale, 1920’s Style Death Ray, Liberal, and many many others for there humorous contributions to the thread…I enjoyed them all and got a good laugh at them. It’s kinds like your my students and I am teaching you the proper values LOL. And I was very effective because I got through to all of you and you all proved to me to be People living in denial and guilt and full of self hate and anguish.
“I am sorry you have guilt and anger but I hope you get over it in the future so you can be happy with yourself”
Ta-Ta

This is the best argument I have ever heard. There is absolutely no way to refute it. Why haven’t other people thought of debating like this? If you just make a claim and say everyone who disagrees is angry, in denial, blind and that you can see their soul you would never lose!

What posts directly insult you? Or, I guess that I’m in denial and blind aren’t I?

I hope you can get over it so that you can be happy with yourself. :smiley:

Gaudere is a she.

The brainless smugness of that post angers me almost as much as the fact that I posted how aesthetically pleasing my circumcision scar is, and none of the hundreds of poeple to view this thread chimed in with

‘Cite?’

or

‘Doc, if you have pics my e-mail’s in my profile’

or

‘Doc, how you doin?’

I hope you can get over the guilt and anger you feel at having your penis mutilated by a so called ‘doctor’.

DocCathode-what does Cthuthlu have to say about circumcision?

Oh, and not only is Gaudere a she, but she’s also an admin, not a mod.

She is a mod, but is in denial about it.

You can draw your own conclusions about the he/she issue. I’m not touching that one. :slight_smile:

Jiminy crickets! We’re all educated stupid!

[sub]I’d just like to take this opportunity to mention that my foreskin is exactly phi inches long.[/sub]

Yes you are right…You are in denial.

Anyhow I have said that enough times now.

This is my last post and you will not here from me agian. You people have grown tiresome and I have become bored with you.

As far as the administrator he/she thing goes…I really dont care what gender it is. All I know is that whoever it is , they have a pretty dull life to be hanging around an internet thread posting site day after day, night after night, week after week, year after year…I think you get the jist of what I am saying.

She has the profile of a person who has zero authority in her life and uses this “title” of hers to make herself feel powerful over others. It is all she has and it is pretty sad if I do say so myself.

I mean I think it’s pretty sad that you guy’s actually pay to be part of this site so that you can sit around complaining and bickering at other people about there lives. When in reality you are just expressing all that anger about yourself and not the one that you are attacking. All the bad things you say to other people is just you saying those things about yourself. Hence the whole denial thing that You have been talking about. I really do mean it when I say that I am sorry you are angry and in denial and I hope you get over it in the future so that you can be happy with yourself. That was a genuine nice thing for me to say, and you it upset you.

As I said…All of you know that I am right and because you live in denial you feel the on-going urge to keep positing over and over again challenging me on an issue that you already understand because I explained it to you.

I won! and you lost. Your defeat was already known by me before I even typed the first word of the letter. I just hoped that I would get through to a few of you…and you know what, I did. Not every post was negative, there were a couple that were supportive of me. And you can just think of all the people that read my letter and never responded to it because there was too miuch negative response from others making it hard for them to respond themselves. Those people were in agreeance with me, and that makes you mad because they also gained victory over you.

You lost…We won, and we is all the thousands that read my letter and said “right On Man”

Now I will leave you misserable lost people to gloat in yourself pitty and shame…as you have your whole entire lives. And I will leave knowing that I made a difference in your lives forever. You will never forget me or my letter as long as you live. It will haunt you for the rest of your lives. Any time circucmsion is ever said around you agian you will remember me or at least my sign in name “jack123”

I will not be returning to this site to check in on your responses as I am completley satisfied with my work here as I have touched many a people in the last few days with my testimony of truth and honesty that will help all those people that were in dielema with the circumcision question. I served my fellow mankind well and I did a good job of it.

I will not return here again and you will hear no more from me.

Some of you will celebrate and some will be sad :frowning: because you will no more “jack123” to insult or argue with.

There will be responses to this from you that will gloat about my departure and how wonderful it is…but most likely this will never make it to your eyes because the aministrator will surely delete it as soon as she reads it. But unless she is quick …most of you will see it before she has a chance to get rid of it. :wally

And a message to the administrator:

Grow up and get a sense of maturity in you…you will go a lot farther.

And to the rest of you:

“I hope you get over your anger and denial in the future so that you can be happy with yourselves”

Good Bye…and support male circumcision, you know its the right choice :dubious:

I’m not in denial. OK? However, I am very friggin’ angry! I am so glad that you’re leaving you [pit worty noun].

“I win at teh internet!”

It has to be a joke. If not, we’ll be seeing this guy next when he starts a cult of eunuchs. I can already see the TV ads…

Are you missing something from your life? Are you angry and in denial? I already knew you were! Forget spirituality, just got the thing off and all will be well. I win!

Hey Broomstick, how you doin’!

I haven’t read every word of this trainwreck, nor do I intend to because I couldn’t care less about the subject. However, I am curious as to whether anyone has commented on the inherent irony in the OP’er name. Just wondering.

Now this is funny.
