    I'm sure the local churches have plenty of surplus they could spare. Call it a Mitzvah if you will.

    While they do this on religious ground, it has medical backing as well. Least this become a normal thread, here are a few links:
    http://www.health.com/health/condition-article/0,,20272051,00.html
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christiane-northrup/we-need-to-stop-circumcis_b_470689.html (this one makes it a personal opinion more than a medical opinion)
    http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pmed.1000187 (respected science journal)
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2727852/ (National Institute of Health)

    So, from reading all that, it seems that circumcision has some preventive abilities to both stop the receiving of as well as transmission of diseases.

    i was circumcised as were two of my brothers and many, perhaps a majority, of boys in the US in those days, on the same shaky medical grounds that took everyone's tonsils out around 8 years old.

    jewish life in the california farming town i grew up in was nothing like a serious man, the community was so small that assimilation was a kind of paradoxical cultural imperative; unless i'm mistaken my jewish friends were all circumcised at the hospital and the rites were annex to that. a bloodless bris if you will. and now for a bit of unleavened levity; according to a jewish friend from my college days (probably the first real new yorker i'd ever met, and they don't have webbed feet) these are the leaves of:

    That's a Eucalyptus tree (aka a "gum" tree in AUS), probably a Sydney (or Tasmanian) Blue Gum ... perhaps even a Snow Gum. :ROFLMAO:

    thanks to classic cinema, most guys know better than to attempt a Jonah Falcon impression at the airport.

    Damn shame Nora Ephron is dead. She could've made good use of a vibrator scene with a TSA guard. And women will have been warned.

    Made... shade. Dude doesn't have to be a good listener. He doesn't have to have a job and/or a nice car, be able to remember birthdays, or even move out of his parents' house. Doesn't have to get married or even get seriously involved- there'll always be a girl waiting in the wings (or on the front porch) if the current one acts up. This link is great advertising for him- it'll probably reach more women than whatever book (Guinness?) he's listed in.

    My cousin had to get circumcised at age 10. There was much weeping.

    I don't know. Pedo Pedboy from the link is willing to go to prison to make a statement about my nation's president. I don't think Alonso has that twisted sort of courage...

    Of all the accusations made about Obama, this is probably the least ...
    Oddly enough, the source media report makes no mention of the President.

    I guess the national media thought the story would have more 'legs' by mentioning him. :D

    Although he denied the alleged affairs, when asked if he could provide the names of 4 suspects, he wrote a list of 30 names!
