Hot post, Demi.

Circumcision has "benefits", right? Well, if you twist it around enough, so does the placement of silver/mercury amalgam fillings. We can all see that some - actually many - people have no side effects from mercury in their mouths. None. No neurological, psychological, or physical problems. I have family members (older) who are just tough as nails, and old as stones, and just keep on goin'! And they have mercury in their mouths day after day, decade after decade. If they should suddenly be diagnosed with cancer or something equally bad, can it be proved it was caused by the mercury fillings?

Circumcision? Well, millions of little jews have had it done on Day 8, and they went on to live long, healthy, productive lives. And because of these many successful lives, let's just ignore the ones (their number is carefully kept hidden, of course) who have to resort to the most degrading, foul forms of porno to be able to complete the sex act, because of circumcision damage. Also, because of the many happy and successful jews in our midst, let's ignore the ones who can't have sex at all, because a chunk of the glans came off with that filthy foreskin. I actually know of a couple of jewish babies who died from the trauma of that holy symbolic and health-giving act - but since this is such a teensy minority, let's ignore that, too. The greater good was served by the circumcision of all.

And a greater good was also served by all those millions of teeth stuffed with mercury amalgam - because prior to the development of composite filling, countless children and adults, too, would have had to have all or most of their teeth extracted. Is that a great fate, or what? Gumming your oatmeal because you can't afford false teeth, and mercury is "dangerous". Dentistry should have permitted all those teeth to rot right down to the gums because a FEW might develop severe neurological, physical, and personality difficulties from the mercury amalgam? Gotta look at BOTH sides of the issue!

I am right, aren't I, Russ?

Well, aren't I?
