    As a general rule, I don’t presume to tell people living under wildly different and much harsher circumstances that I know better survival methods than they do.

    Well, I might recommend they use some of their scarce water supplies and soap instead of spit for this particular example, but other than that.

      What a dumb thing to say. I am more than comfortable telling people living under wildly different and much harsher circumstances that cutting their babies dicks is not conducive to a thriving society. It turns out people with foreskins drink and eat just as much as those without, and they have the added benefit of never dying from their penis getting infected because someone really wanted to cut part of it off.
