Is 12 too old to trick or treat?

11-13

• We get carloads of kids. Lots of them. They hit the ground like a swarm running from house to house, get as much as they can, and load up to go to the next subdivision. It isn't one parent bringing their own brood in from the country (not that there really is any 'country' around Houston), it's lite …

Are Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang too mean for today's kids? Good grief!

No

Circumcision benefits outweigh risks, but parents should choose, pediatricians say

No. It amounts to mutilation and any health gains aren't enough.

• Lunky, psychics are all about belief.

• If you think the aids epidemic happened because men weren't circumcised, you are delusional. Circumcised men contract the virus, and spread it just fine.

• It's all about you, isn't it?

• 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Should all breasts be removed at birth to avoid this? That rate, btw, is higher than the rate of men who will require their foreskin be removed later in life.

• Huh. My 70 year old husband is in the same situation, camps regularly, and never has a problem keeping clean. If your friend is complaining about cleanliness, the fault lies squarely on your friend.

• Shanaldo definitely needs to find a classier group of men if that is the case. Don't worry, shanaldo, the uncircumcised men don't want to sleep with you either. Some men actually prefer women who want them for themselves, not based on the physical characteristics of their junk. You know, kind of lik …

• Right, for the cut. Not a problem for the uncut.

• @lawful, it's least painful to not have it done at all. And most likely there will never be a need to have it done later. There seems to be a faction of people that think that because some people have medical issues later in life that require circumcision to alleviate them that is justification to c …

• They will get over it (as it actually has nothing to do with them) and their sons will reap the benefits.

• No trina, you are missing the point. An adult woman choosing to give birth and have an episiotomy (not all women have them, by the way, some just tear, others stretch sufficiently) isn't the same as removing part of the body of an infant. Not all women give birth (I never did). Lots of adults are cu …

• I don't care what it is (and where did I say anything about 'cutting off a body part'?). Nobody has any right to remove part of someone else's body without their permission. An earlobe is excess hanging skin too. As well as a significant portion of a woman's external genitalia, is it ok to cut that  …

• sziker, you are using porn as an indicator of "women's preferences"? Let's use porn as an indicator of men's preferences shall we? All women should get breast implants as infants (because it's easier then) because (based on what is in porn) men prefer that. Are you for real? Because you happen to kn …

• Star-bellied sneeches.

• So you would be one of the skanky men who can't keep himself clean Tim? Guess it's good for everyone (especially your wife) you weren't given the option then. Good that you know your limitations. My man is 70 years old, uncircumcised, and has never once been 'nasty'. No diseases, no infections, no p …

• I'll be sure to tell my 70 year old lover no more oral sex, that it's just nasty. Some guy that has a moniker referencing a dead porn star said so, that means it must be true.

• How do you know if you have no basis for comparison? BTW, I've had long hair, short hair, and even no hair. There isn't any difference in the ease of caring for it.

• Not willing to make a blanket statement, as to me the man himself is the important factor. But all things being equal? Uncut is better.

• T2q Mom, I've never heard of healthy appendix and tonsils being removed (I still have my appendix, my tonsils were removed because I had frequent throat problems as a child (and I still think that it was a mistake)). And Gforce, if you don't see the difference in removing something diseased and some …

• @unDrSekst, in my observation, that extra skin stretches out when the penis is erect and adds significant length. That's purpose enough for me.

• You keep telling yourself that, hon.

• Add to it that not only do they get paid for the procedure, they also sell the foreskins after the procedure. Win Win.

• That's a pretty shallow reason to mutilate your kid. Just because some a-holes in school might make fun of them someday. They'll make fun of them if they wear glasses too, going to poke their eyes out?

One mom's challenge: Buy only "Made in USA" for one week

I try to buy American-made when I can, but not always

Military mom 'proud' of breast-feeding in uniform, despite criticism

Yes! It's awesome.

Family removed from plane due to unruly toddler wanted a 'little bit of humanity'

No -- the carrier should have more compassion for the stress and difficulty of flying with young children.

Sweet photo of dad feeding baby turns controversial

Ridiculous!

Olympics' baby-seat policy prompts wails of protest

No. That's what big-screen TVs are for.

What are we really talking about when we talk about the Duggars?

Whatever.

• She can Delia. But the OP was just saying that if it kills her, what then for the other children? Maybe she has a sister that will step in and take over the family and husband for them.

Americans prefer sons over daughters, poll finds
