That's none of my business.
However, piercings (other than ears) are banned for minors by state law in the state I reside in. I suspect that most states do the same.
Edit: Just went and looked. It seems most states allow body piercing of minors with the parents consent.

No, it is not the norm pretty much anywhere in the world except the USA, and even in the USA it is falling out of popularity quickly.
No, you don't get dick cheese . I am uncut and I have literally never encountered such a thing. You would have to not clean yourself for literally WEEKS.

30% of the men in the world are estimated to be circumcised. In the U.S., a little over half are.
In other words, it is normal to circumcise your child. It is also normal not to circumcise you child. Pretending that it's some kind of crazy, rare practice is bullshit.

what you call dick cheese is smegma both females and males have it . it serves as lubricant . yeah if you don't clean underneath your foreskin everyday then smegma will accumulate and it will smell . foreskin requires little maintenance , simple washing in the shower each day will suffice and perhaps another washing before oral sex is nice

And to add, according to actual data, circumcision rtes have increased (albeit slightly) since 2007. Overall though, rates have declined since 1979.
I didn't realize that only about half of American men are circumcised, I honestly thought it was way higher. There is also a pretty huge regional variability.
I also took a peek at the literature, and there seems to be a lot more data favoring circumcision as a means to decrease HIV and other STD's. Whoulda thunk it.

I think you should tell your friend your point of view on the matter, but don't tell him what he decides is the wrong decision. I and circumcised and happy about it.

Who gives a shit. I fully agree with Enlil, it is still the norm to circumcise or to just leave it.
Seems mostly that people who aren't circumcised are the ones who get in an uproar about whether or not to snip the foreskin.

Not your business or place to ask him not to, it's the parent's choice.
Have yet to see a circumcised person complain about being circumcised. It's always the uncircumcised ones that seem to have some problem with it.
It makes no sense to wait until the baby is old enough to decide for himself. As a baby you don't remember the pain of it, but you damn sure will if you have it done when you're old enough to decide for yourself. There's also the "you can't miss what you don't have" aspect. From what I've heard, people who have been able to compare sex before and after having it done report that after it doesn't feel anywhere near as good. From my perspective it feels fine, I can't imagine anymore 'good feeling' to it, so I'm not missing anything as far as I'm concerned.
Also because I've seen this topic come up a few times on forums, I'm adding my input and leaving it at that. I have no desire to sit here and debate this shit all day and go back and fourth needlessly.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

30% is not "standard". Neither is being gay. Is it "normal"? Well that's a different question.

Cherry pick your definition all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that 30% can certainly be a norm.
"Full Definition of NORM
1: an authoritative standard : model
2: a principle of right action binding upon the members of a group and serving to guide, control, or regulate proper and acceptable behavior
3: average: as
a : a set standard of development or achievement usually derived from the average or median achievement of a large group
b : a pattern or trait taken to be typical in the behavior of a social group
c : a widespread or usual practice, procedure, or custom <standing ovations became the norm>
4 a : a real-valued nonnegative function defined on a vector space with value analogous to length and satisfying the conditions that the function is zero if and only if the vector is zero, the function of the product of a scalar and a vector is equal to the product of the absolute value of the scalar and the function of the vector, and the function of the sum of two vectors is less than or equal to the sum of the functions of the two vectors; specifically : the square root of the sum of the squares of the absolute values of the elements of a matrix or of the components of a vector"
See how easy that game is to play?

At this point you have taken my entire original point out of context. If you're going to cherry pick my argument then I will cherry pick the definition. Two can play at that game.
The poster was saying that he thought circumcision is something everyone does without even thinking twice, which is clearly not even close to true. That along with his other clear misinformation about the uncircumcised penis shows an extreme lack of knowledge about the procedure. In other words, ignorance.
