I never said anything about Jews. In fact, I've never really understood how they've become such a bad scapegoat over the centuries, because they pretty much stick to themselves and don't try to convert anyone else to their religion, unlike Christians and Muslims. They are by and large content with just spreading the faith by virtue of having babies, but even that seems too much for some conspiracy theorists who think they are out to take over the world.
Although I will say that the practice of suckling a male baby's dick after a circumcision and giving them Herpes (like we've been hearing in the news a lot lately) is pretty fucking nasty.
But they certainly aren't the only religion with some pretty whacked rituals, that's for sure.
"That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E
It's not done for kicks, if suction isn't applied the capillaries will constrict too rapidly and infection is likely. Without modern antibiotics the infection will likely become gangrenous and the organ will be lost altogether.
Most Jews have it done using a sterilized glass tube that requires no direct contact. Mostly only the ultra orthodox still use direct suction.
Complications are rare to begin with, and as to the herpes I think it's been something like a dozen cases...out of the hundreds of thousands of Jews circumcised in the last few years.
It's pedophilia, Kadmos. A grown man's lips have no business anywhere near a child's genitals. Even one case of spreading a sexually transmitted disease to an infant is one too many.
Not to mention circumcision (of either gender) is a barbaric practice in and of itself. I don't care how old the tradition is.
I was circumcised (in a hospital) as an infant and I still feel violated. It should be a decision left up to men to decide for themselves when they become adults.

I circumsized myself when I was 10 with a pair of weiss snips.

First, it's not pedophilia. Pedophilia is the sexual attraction to children. This has nothing to do with attraction or sex.
Second, I agree that spreading STD's to infants is really not good. Herpes can and has killed children. Although without further examination of it on a case by case basis, it is far more likely that the baby contracted herpes through the birthing process from the mother.
Thirdly, yes it's a practice that could be considered barbaric by many, however in my religion it is of primary importance, how old the tradition is is irrelevant, it's what it represents.
Lastly, I'm sorry your parents did that to you, I really have no idea why they did. Perhaps they preferred the "look", perhaps they thought it was more hygienic and assumed you wouldn't be very good at personal hygiene. Perhaps they simply wanted to see you scream because deep down they resent your existence
At issue is atheists mix all religion save their own (their religion is man is basically good and man will save man) into one lump. They despise christianity as much as voodoo and hinduism and taoism and islamism and so on and so forth. The reason they love islam is because islam does the dirty work of killing others of similar or different religions to the atheist satisfaction. The enemy of my enemy and so on. Wich is funny because the worst people on earth to muslims are atheists.

Can't imagine why this thread might be bumped now...

I'm not aware of any member here doing such.
I am aware of a few trolls here claiming someone did such, but I know it's bullshit.
BTW, the answer to your original question is "No". No one here can make you understand basic concepts, therefore a concept with any subtlety involved is obviously far beyond your grasp.
As to why I didn't bother to try, well...308 summed it up nicely in post #5. If you can't manage to ask the question in a civil manner then why should I waste the effort even trying to explain it?

We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...
