Why not? It's something people don't agree on that affects the lives of millions, including participants in this discussion. You can discuss it on several levels, for example on religion, ethics, medical consequences or culture.
As for how trivial it is, that depends. Perhaps most think it's trivial, but there is the occasional complication and clearly there are people who feel that circumcision has drastically reduced their sexual function.
Norwegians generally don't circumcise, but I still feel it's a very interesting subject and something that people should discuss, think and read about before they decide whether or not to have the procedure done on their own children.
