Cactoblasta, very smart. The key word is absolute, maybe there is not an absolute advantage, but there is an advantage. Something I found on the Academy's page, Sabrina please do better research I am becoming tired with your half efforts:
As noted above, research studies suggest that there may be some medical benefits to circumcision. These include the following:
A lower risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). A circumcised infant boy has about a 1 in 1,000 chance of developing a UTI in the first year of life; an uncircumcised infant boy has about a 1 in 100 chance of developing a UTI in the first year of life.
A lower risk of getting cancer of the penis. However, this type of cancer is very rare in both circumcised and uncircumcised males.
A slightly lower risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV, the AIDS virus.
Prevention of foreskin infections.
Prevention of phimosis, a condition in uncircumcised males that makes foreskin retraction impossible.
Easier genital hygiene.
Just as there are reasons parents may choose circumcision, they are reasons why parents may choose NOT to have their son circumcised:
Possible risks. As with any surgery, circumcision has some risks. Complications from circumcision are rare and usually minor. They may include bleeding, infection, cutting the foreskin too short or too long, and improper healing.
The belief that the foreskin is necessary to protect the tip of the penis. When removed, the tip of the penis may become irritated and cause the opening of the penis to become too small. Rarely, this can cause urination problems that may need to be surgically corrected.
Some people believe that circumcision makes the tip of the penis less sensitive, causing a decrease in sexual pleasure later in life. This has not been proven by any medical or psychological study.
Sabrina, do you notice how it swings from the scientific for the Pros to circumcision, to "some people believe, the belief...." for the Cons? Please acknowledge that you can see that. Or deny, which you probably will, and then send me on another goose chase.
And for the little boy comment, if you knew anything about me you would not say that, but I will forgive your ignorance.
I stand corrected, you do not complain about holding a job, you complain about getting one. For the official record, I am not so aware about the consulting world, but I do know how it runs in the engineering world. Foresight is the key to holding a continuous job Sabrina, and planning is such a wonderful thing. But, what does the "little boi" know. I get paid by the year, not the hour.
Also, who said anything about hiding? I am not hiding. Please tell me how I can fix this for you. I use the same name every time, it should be fairly clear I am the same person. Also, the reference to KFC, please expand on that for me. I think you are confused, again, let me help you with that.
Bakerstreet, who are you? And you understand names deserve a capital letter, or do you? I guess that deserves the all intelligent *snort* back, does it not? Thanks for coming out.
