    Always weird to be reminded that the World’s eminent superpower is obsessed with cutting bits off babies’ dicks. But then, maybe that’s the secret behind their economic strength?

    After all, the Romans did some pretty wild stuff, like making their horses generals.

      I mean, the Middle East and Africa have even higher circumcision rates and it doesn’t seem to be working out for them

      The Romans used to do the opposite, and tie their foreskin shut just to be extra sure no one would see the head of their penis.

      Perhaps the next natural step is joining that with their love of firearms. Circumcision by mass shootings or something.
