Too much gratuity?

Hey guys, just a quick question. Me and my lady are thinking about having kids so we have been discussing all sorts of decisions that we will have to be making. We agree on most things but the one thing that we can't seem to agree on is if we had a boy, whether or not we would circumcise him.

What are your views on this?

Listen MCQUADE! I am circumcised. When I found out that this had been done to me, I was not upset. I have no memory of when my banana was peeled. I feel no pain in that area. I have no trouble getting a rise. I am able to reproduce. These are the main concerns with circumcision, but obviously they are not really issues at all.

So the real question is whether dicing his carrot is even necessary at all. With or without, dudes seem to get along just fine. So it really is just personal preference. By slicing his pepperoni, you are neither benefitting him, nor hindering him.

In the words of the Digital Underground: Doowutchyalike.

Look McQuade, I hope you're anti-circumcision cause a man's johnson is most sacred and should be treated as such. Carving it all up and tossing the nib in the garbage would be an insult to your son and every other man who holds his genitals close to his heart (figuratively, of course). I have a friend who was recently shocked to discover (through a series of sketches and an examination by his wife) that he is in fact, circumcised. Imagine this guy's reaction to finding out that he's literally half the man he used to be. Now... imagine if that was your son. God, that would be awful.

It is surely a sensitive area. When I got circumcised, I couldn't walk for almost a year.
