Sorry, fellas... that's just way too OCD over the leetle PP.
I did a quick Google to find out more about some of the HIV studies that you've alluded to (and before you have a go at me, I'll do more research later on today and tomorrow).

I'm not going to argue the validity of a particular study but there is a lot of conflicting information about this one issue alone:

Here's the CDC's version- Male Circumcision and Risk for HIV Transmission: Implications for the United States | Factsheets | CDC HIV/AIDS

But here's an example of someone refuting the evidence by questioning the validity of some of the studies-
Circumcised men are at greater risk of HIV infection

And here is something more recent stating that guys getting circ'd in order to decrease HIV risk are at GREATER risk-
HIV Study Raises Caution About Circumcision - washingtonpost.com

So, there is alot of info to assimilate and I'm more than willing to learn something new and change my mind because of intelligent, reasonable argument.

But you won't even get me to the point of listening if you are being bitchy, nor do I think that anyone ELSE would be swayed by a similar approach. I got that kind of shit from some of my professors at college and you'll get the same response that I gave them: "Speak to and treat me with respect if you want me to do the same".
