Not going to read the whole thread at this time, and it appears to have gone off-topic, but I'll comment on the AIDS thing. That study was done in Africa. In Africa, HIV testing methods are much less rigorous than they are in most of the developed world. There are false positives up the wazoo, and apparently it's easy for heterosexuals to get HIV from heterosexual sex in Africa, but not the rest of the world. The risk of AIDS for heterosexual men in the United States is nil.

As for male circumcision in general, do we really know that putting them through that much pain (many babies literally go into shock when it happens) doesn't have any harmful long-term effects just because they have no conscious memory?

And if it is okay to do that to male babies because they don't remember anyway...would it also be okay for a pedophile who likes young babies up to six months old to touch the baby inappropriately since he's not going to remember anyway? Would it be okay for the guy to ejaculate all over the baby's face and rub it around?

Sound brutal and disgusting? Yea, so is cutting a big piece of skin from his penis that contains nerve endings and functionality that greatly enhances sexual pleasure for both partners, you [censored] stupid animals. Go [censored] yourself if you circumcise in this day and age. Seriously.
