    For non Jews it's become a thing of the past for the most part.
    It was sold as a hygiene thing to non Jews in the middle part of the 20th century in the US, so many young couples ran out and had their new sons chopped. Ouch!

    I'm pretty sure it's still common for Muslims.

    I don't know if you all saw, but a statue was removed of Frederick Douglass in NY last night. He was a former slave, abolitionist, author and orator. No one has claimed responsibility for it. Trump says it was "anarchists". Locals think it was white supremacists.

    Trump is right no matter which group did it. It was anarchists.

    I did see that BTW.

    There has got to be a joke in there somewhere, Terry.

    The doctors recommending children being 'cut' back in the day would probably be considered a totally unnecessary operation today (and taking right liberties) and for non-existent ailments in particular, I most certainly wouldn't want to go through all the rigmarole of kipping in a hospital ward full of strangers (and at the mercy of irate staff members), having a general anaesthetic, having the surgery, vomiting when I come round, which happened to me back in 1981, but might not happen as much nowadays, due to likely improvements in the anaesthetic agents in use today, that probably have less undesirable side effects.
    It was the same here as N mentioned: recommended as a health thing. I was a victim of this 'upselling' when I went in for a hernia as a young boy.

    But my dad tells me my journey is only half way as a man, I'm not married so I'm yet to have my balls chopped off

    Yes, it does sound like one. But I've got another in the same male area.

    A man goes into a hospital to have a hernia op. He wakes post operation to find his surgeon has some bad news for him.

    Doctor: "Mr Terry, I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you. It appears your medical chart got mixed up and you ended up having another patient's operation. I'm afraid you've had the full sex change."

    Patient: "So you're telling me I'll never get another erection?"

    Doctor: "Of course you will, it just won't be yours"
