I'm not sure if circumcision was advocated in the Brit Commonwealth before Kellogg or if it just permeated other Anglo countries from the US, but I'm pretty sure older Canadians and Brits were routinely circumcised as well

Australia is still a European colony and do whatever Europeans do.

We do it because it's medically proven to prevent diseases and improves hygiene.

>>61859165
I dunno man, I remembered your country having high rates of circumcision and googled some maps about that and fluoridation before posting.

My brother had his first son circumsized 3 years ago. I don't get it. I feel pretty guilty for not discussing the issue with him beforehand, but I'm much younger and don't have a close relationship with him. Can't believe (relatively) educated societies are still doing this.

Citation needed, I have a very neutral stance on circumcision because there are various conflicting opinions and """"studies"""" about it
>>
>>61859290
Australia has higher than most. It's also the only western country where the total % population who're circumcision has remained pretty much the same and sometime increased, which is rare.
>>
>>61859301
It's recommended for third world countries with massive STD issues like the AIDs epidemic in Botswana, incidentally the US falls under that category so I guess they think it applies to them
>>
>>61859286
It has nothing to do with morality. You're some dirty uncut Mediterranean greaser.

If you didn't have water to regularly clean your dick 100 years ago, your foreskin would be more likely to get infected and circumcision made that less likely to happen. It's not necessary nowadays because we have basic sanitation.

That's not why we do it though

It increased around the time of the World Wars because the military thought that circumcised soldiers were less likely to contract venereal diseases. The soldiers circumcised their sons because they thought it was normal or something

John Harvey Kellogg(I think he's related to the cereal guy, not sure) popularized circumcision as a cure for chronic masturbaters so that made circumcised men more likely to be accepted by women

this claim is based on extremely questionable studies with extremely questionable methodology, they had to do these studies in africa because in the west their methods would be considered unethical and completely unscientific. Also who cares if being cut gives you a 10% less chance to catch AIDS (and its not that high), you shouldnt be fucking unprotected if there's a chance to get AIDS.
>and improves hygiene.
this is only relevant if you shower less than like 3 times a month. You get dirt under your fingernails too but you dont surgically remove them at birth.

There are no good reasons for circumcision except medical ones. That's why most of the world no longer does it.
>>
>>61859230
>Kellogs cereal is sold everywhere tho so idk
Lol I was talking about a doctor named Kellogg, not the cereal

He was one of the main advocates for circumcision in the US, I don't know how much influence he had on circumcision abroad

Thing is, it actually does, but only slightly because you have filthy retards who don't clean their nasty-ass foreskin and are thus more likely to spread shit to women that can induce it.

The actual change is negligible.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harvey_Kellogg
>Kellogg was a skilled surgeon, who often donated his services to indigent patients at his clinic.[10] Although generally against unnecessary surgery to treat diseases,[11][12] he did advocate circumcision, allegedly to prevent masturbation.[8]
>Kellogg worked on the rehabilitation of masturbators, often employing extreme measures, even mutilation, on both sexes. He was an advocate of circumcising young boys to curb masturbation and applying phenol to a young woman's clitoris. In his Plain Facts for Old and Young,[8] he wrote:

“ A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases.

This is true though. Corn flakes were also designed to be bland and he thought that would reduce sexual desire as well. Kellogg was a fucking nutter.

Bullshit. Poor Americans have the most disposable income, have the best purchasing power, and the vast majority even have lower prices for actual decent housing unless they live in Manhattan. They miss out on government subsidisation though, especially in regards to unemployment and disability assistance, plus healthcare would be an absolute nightmare.

>Does the gubment subsidise you getting insurance or what?
It does. He's either an idiot who doesn't know medicaid exists, or lives in a Southern state that actively makes it difficult to be on Medicaid because "muh Obamacare".

That said, the system still has a long way to go.

It's America, it's full of fucking retards running the place.

I have to live with my dad and sister who work as janitors making 20,000$ a year.

Combined they technically make 40,000$ which means in the eyes of the government, I'm a rich slick douchebag who needs to pay the full amount, even though myself was almost homeless and have no job.
