		<description>There&#039;s some crazy yanks around, aren&#039;t there?

I can&#039;t comment on teeth, as I&#039;m English, therefore don&#039;t have any, apart from the little squiggly black ones that fell out when I was 12, as happens with all British people.

But I am the proud owner of 2 penises, one circumcised, &amp; the other not: a happy circumstance of birth.

However my mother is a Jewish Muslim, my father a Catholic.

She insisted I be circumcised, as Jahweh/Allah has ordained it so in some books. My Dad insisted I not be mutilated &amp; that easy oil-free wanking was good for a boy, &amp; foreskins are more fun for a girl. He read this in another book, apparently.

Happily, both their wishes were fulfilled. A US doctor was flown in &amp; involved in one circumcision &amp; claimed his $400. A Catholic priest was involved in examining my other one for 30 minutes in private &amp; declared it didn&#039;t need circumcising.

I have never had HIV, as I resort to a practice called &#039;washing&#039; on my uncircumcised penis. The other one must clean itself when I have sex with ladies, all of whom have declared themselves doubly satisfied with my performance.

BTW, who is &#039;Bush&#039;?</description>

		<description>I appreciate seeing people who say &quot;they are dumb and dont think&quot;, when these same people also say it supposedly reduces sexual pleausure to have circumcision.

We have women saying this, we have men who either are or are not circ&#039;d saying this.

My question to you is:

Why do you say this when you dont own two penises, one circ&#039;d and one not, to test it scientifically? Why do you effuse your baseless belief about it as if its fact, when the truth is you have never experienced one way and the other, and that sexual pleasure and sensitivity is going to differ on an individual basis?

Have you ever considered that for some circ&#039;ing increases stimulation, while for others it decreases it, just as something that is highly variable would do?

Have you ever considered that where you get your facts comes from the same place as where people who have opposing belief get their facts? I.e. from pandering experiments that are determined to &quot;prove&quot; this side right and the other side wrong. Anyone&#039;s belief in something on the basis of others subjective and whimsical opinions and not on the basis of personal experience is a load of crap. 

I like the subtle anti-Bush statements and comparing pro circers to Bush voters while Bush voters are considered stupid on some baseless arguments. 

In my opinion, you&#039;re all behaving like Bush voters, if Bush voter is a synonym for brain dead idiots who follow like sheep and don&#039;t make up their own mind but spew dogma without evidence. You are exactly the same.</description>

		<description>http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/dec2006/niaid-13.htm

~50% reduction in getting HIV for circumcized men, although it&#039;s a pretty new discovery.

The root of one of my wisdom teeth was going to get tangled in the nerves for my face potentially rendering me unable to smile, chew, etc.  I thought it was a good enough reason to have them removed, although the initial dentist reported the condition and observed it for about five years before doing anything.</description>

		<description>While I agree that circumcision does seem rather pointless (and a cruel thing to do to an infant.... or well, anyone), wisdom teeth sometimes do need to be removed.

Mine need to be removed because I have a small mouth and they&#039;re going to crowd my other teeth if they&#039;re not out. 

As far as why people voted for Bush... they did it because they are STUPID.</description>

		<description>-=-By the way, did you know that only 39% of Americans believe in evolution?!!-=-

You know why fundamentalist Christians don&#039;t believe in evolution, though, don&#039;t you?

(Don&#039;t answer, you who voted for Bush...)


Because it&#039;s not happening to them!</description>

		<description>I like a penis with a hoodie.  Uncircumcised looks strange and seems so wrong.  I don&#039;t understand why cutting off part one one&#039;s penis is not questioned in America.  I wonder why a lot of things are not questioned in America.  I don&#039;t understand people here (and I am American!)

By the way, did you know that only 39% of Americans believe in evolution?!!
Frightening!</description>

		<description>Lisa, I&#039;m Swedish and no dentist has ever suggested removing my wisdom teeth. I find your experience a bit odd.  But I suspect that maybe it was quite a few years ago that you had yours removed? My older sister had hers removed. At that time is was pretty standard to remove them before you turned 20 (just in case...) since up to that age dental care is covered by the tax payers. I am four years younger than my sister and those four years was enough time for collectively scratch their heads and come to the conclusion that &quot;just in case&quot; wasn&#039;t that &quot;wise&quot;. Thus the national guidelines changed and I think few people these days have them removed. No &quot;just in case&quot;.

My dentist still did a lot of work &quot;just in case&quot; just before I turned 20 though. Did me no favor I&#039;d say. There was a big debate about this sort of thing among dentists around that time and I know that things have changed. My (now private) dentist has found no new cavities needing filling since I turned 20 (14 y.a) but I&#039;ve repaired and changed plenty of old fillings.</description>

		<description>Thanks guys!  Now I&#039;m horrified that I&#039;ve ruined my 15 year old son&#039;s future sex life because I did what the doctor, my husband, and everyone around me considered perfectly normal the day after he was born!

Regarding wisdom teeth:  I still have all four of mine; they came in perfectly straight.  I have noticed a cavalier attitude from my dentist about them though...he always tells me to brush and floss way back there until I&#039;m gagging if I want to hang on to the wise ones.</description>

		<description>I had the same experience with getting wisdom teeth removed, but I was living in Sweden at the time.  Apparently, it&#039;s not just American dentists who are part of the &quot;you don&#039;t need them, so let&#039;s yank them out even though they&#039;re not causing any problems&quot; philosophy.  I can remember the dentist holding up these long, white, perfectly formed and undamaged teeth he&#039;d just yanked out, while all the teeth he left behind in my mouth were a mass of fillings and crowns.  Um, yeah, that makes sense . . .</description>
