I've been gaming online since broadband first became available in the my area of the US (I was about 18, I'm 32 now) and I've been part of multiple online gaming groups/clans/guilds, in everything from early TFC and CS to WoW and then more FPS games again recently, and I've never seen people hate on girls for playing.…

I really can't understand why anyone think's it's ok to sleep on the MTA, there are gross things going on all around you and closing your eyes is probably not the best idea.

Yeah and other developed nations have their own fucked up issues, and I don't think we necessarily need to be looking to them for the 'right way to do things' when we have many, many intelligent, talented, ethical medical professionals right here in our own country.

I don't think a baby has a right to bodily autonomy, at least as far as choices like this go. I think this is a decision that is up to the parents, and the kid has no say in it.

Well, how about because a circumcised penis is neither injured, disfigured, or imperfect.

"All those Middle Eastern countries that want to blow each other up?" is basically an attack on Islam. He may not have said it outright but it's most definitely what he is implying.

I'd say she has heaps better grasp on it than you do. Do you cry every night over your lost foreskin? I hope so.

Because old people in retirement homes who are pissing all over themselves are always mentally competent enough to make their own medical decisions.

Because it's all a huge conspiracy to rob people of their hard-earned money!11!!!!

What an idiot comment. You can poke a baby or even just look at it and it will scream bloody murder.

This comment thread is still going!? I'll settle for the stalemate, I've lost interest in this topic until another article gets posted about it and I can watch people get all enraged and upset again.

Danke! A 3 year old? I swear people should have to be licensed to have kids.

If you have lost any skin, obviously you are losing nerves and therefore some feeling. What really matters there if it's anything actually noticeable, and for the most part I call shenanigans on that. I just don't think sex is going to be X times greater for someone with a foreskin as opposed to someone who does not…

Oh whatever, it's not mutilation and it's certainly not molestation. I was making ridiculous comparisons, because the whole premise that it's wrong and abuse of an infant is ridiculous. Make crazy claims, expect crazy counter-arguments.

I was just pointing out that so many people are all "They just need to be taught proper hygiene" isn't actually going to help in many cases. If snipping a bit of useless skin off can help keep the population as a whole more healthy, then I'm all for it.

Well, as I noted, at least not in teenagers, but perhaps younger children. I know of many 14-17 year olds who have let their kids get tattooed without repercussions. Not that I approve, I got my first 2 tattoos when I was 17 (illegally) and regret not that I got tattooed, but that I should have held out for better…

Haha I forgot about VD as well, that was before my time (meaning we were never taught to use it) even though I've heard the term used many times of course. Did they have to switch off "venereal" because it's not as easy to understand as "sexually transmitted"? Have to cater to the lowest common denominator of course.

It makes total sense really, I just hadn't realized it had changed and I was thrown off when people were using it throughout the comments. Up until then I don't think I've ever heard of it being used, as my peers always refer to it as an STD as well.

Are you somehow under the impression that because we live in a country with readily accessible running water that people are clean and hygienic? How naive....

Because taking a little piece of skin is the same as taking a life, right?
