Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I don't think that's a valid comparison. For people who need wisdom teeth extractions, leaving them in can end up painful and for some even leave them with unable to fully close their mouths to chew.
Nothing bad is going to happen if you leave a babies penis alone.
I had braces growing up and my wisdoms were growing in at an angle. They would have crowded my teeth and cause pain if I didn't remove them.
So you want to rip them out of babies? Gotcha
You can't

Does removal actually prevent teen growing during the time when the rest of your adult teeth grow? I really wasn't sure that they were special in this fashion
