quicko: circumcision

So I have it on good authority from an anonymous source that, while in earlier generations male babies were circumcised as a matter of course, that is no longer the case today and the majority of males gen Y and following would not be circumcised.

Leave you to do your own research if you don't believe me.

This is a bit of a departure from your normal comments about culture clashes - unless there's a difference in the relative percentages of Aussie men vs USA men who've had this procedure.

Nevertheless, I'm told that the proportion of Aussies men born during or soon after WWII who've had it is significantly higher than other generations. It was seen as a 'solidarity' thing with Jewish men as that was one way the Nazi's identified Jewish men.
