Hm, you have a point there.

Debateable. The author (and I'm sure others like her) cites it as advantageous.

Really? Wow, that's new to me...I assumed everyone was "snipped" these days (except of course for Jews)

Why except jews? This seems like a completely backwards statement; especially since more and more parents are opting not to have their children circumsized, as it costs 50 bucks and there are not really any clear cut (c wut i did thar??) health benefits.

Well perhaps my original thoughts regarding males being circumcised were wrong but...damn...I'm surrounded by "un-snipped" men ... get back you unclean heathens!

I could split if if you want Jeff. ~Snip it in two.

Bah it's fine. Might as well let it run its course. There's no need to cut out this discussion.

That's a harsh way to put it, but I would guess than an uncircumcised person would be less likely to become impotent becuase the organ is better protected. The only reason why jews do it is for the same reason jews dont eat pork. It is based of being clean, and healthy. Back in ancient times I bet it was incredibly easy to get your penis infected, so they thought that circumcision was good. Jews dont eat pork because pork can be hard to cook properly and can make you very sick, imagine trying to cook pork over a campfire and being super hungry.. It all ties in with being 'kosher'.
