Circumcision Gains Ground as Anti-AIDS Measure

[CaptainZoidberg]

What the hell are you babbling about? I can't make heads or tails out of what the fuck you're trying to criticize with this nonsense.

What I'm saying is that nations with higher circumcision rates sometimes have lower HIV transmission rates - but that's because of a common cause and not because of circumcision rates causing HIV transmission rates.

Its a statistics thing, even if there's a correlation, does not mean there's a causation.

Let me just ask this.....
People would prefer to get part of their penis chopped off and lose pleasure permanently than wear a rubber ducky?

Yes, because "God" says so

If so called representatives of God on Earth claim that condoms are 'evil' and circumcision is despite the immense pain 'good', and more to the point you believe these representatives...

"Off with it's head!"

It's like in America where a doctor asks the parents of a newborn son for permission to slice and dice, claiming that it has hygienic benefits, even though actual research shows that the "benefits" scalping 'little big horn' are negligible.

Since he is a doctor and the parents likely haven't done the research...

"Off with it's head!"

Okay, but that's kind of a "no duh" thing, which is what the whole point of my chart was.
