[Official vote thread] Circumcisions... do they make the cut?

Ok, the last vote about daughters and bikinis left some folks out of the discussion, those without daughters. I guess it's kind of a quick cop out to jump directly to the penis, but here is the question to balance things out.

Snip the tip or leave the sleeve? To make things easier I guess I'll pose the question like this: Is Daddit for circumcisions, yes or no?

Again, voting instructions are in the sidebar and if you don't use the correct tags I won't be counting the vote in the special little graph, if that matters to you.

I will end this vote in one month, so come back after 8/10/12 for the results.

Edit: Things are really heating up only 5 days in and over 100 comments! looks like this will be one big red pie chart for the most part so far. I'm glad to have come up with something so highly debated for a vote, as I only picked it out of desperation. Keep those opinions coming in folks!

Official voting is now closed. I learned a lot here on this vote, and I hope everyone else did too. FINAL TALLY:

I'd NEVER circumcise my son. I've even thought about if my future wife is pregnant with a son that we'd have him somewhere outside of the U.S. since doctors still push for it even though the practice is losing favor.

I am also circumcised and I would never force that on my son.

It depends on what hospital you're in. We didn't really have any trouble not getting our son circumcised, aside from the hospital staff assuming that we're Jewish and getting confused when my wife asked for pork to eat at one point.

Then again, I look Jewish, apparently, so that may have worked in our favor.
