<p>I recently heard that there is a man who hovers outside the University bookstore protesting against circumcision. I’m intrigued. Does he actually exist? Has anyone run into him before?</p>

<p>i wonder if that’s an urban legend they tell to prospies…</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>Yes he does! He has a great rant about it (although, as I recall, it didn’t make a great deal of sense). I am not sure if he’s there anymore, but was in 2005 when we attended Family Weekend.</p>

<p>Yeah, he’s still there. He just came back out for Spring a couple days ago. I’ve never talked to him, but he’s supposed to be a reasonably nice guy. He’s not a crazy homeless person or anything. He skips winter and days with bad weather, but you can usually see him out there.</p>

<p>I agree with him. Circumcision? I don’t see the point.</p>

6

<p>It’s actually a pretty cutting-edge issue.</p>

<p>my friend has talked to him at length. he’s a nice guy.</p>

<p>well on the point of circumcision, you can’t get cancer of the forskin (actually a fact). also, its kinda required to be a jew… and it feel better for the ladies</p>

11

<p>Yes, do it for the ladies.</p>

</p>

<p>sorry for my ignorance, but what’s the argument against it?</p>

<p>[edit] nevermind. I read the little news atricle about the guy and his spiel.</p>
