Alright, you might have to bear with me here, I'll play the 'it's late card' if anything is especially incoherent |

Washing your hands after using the bathroom is pretty key in my opinion. If you are going to put your hand that close to your ass, well, it's pretty gross not to wash your hands. Before eating or preparing food too. Plus, I have a feeling you don't know what something "contagious" means. I mean damnit, if you have a cold, don't touch my food. This has nothing to do with our "immune systems" here... our immune systems will not get better by getting a cold. |

Why don't you take a trip to the dark ages dude? Ever heard of Cholera? Or the black plague? |

Interesting post MrBeelzy. I don't get sick very often either, and I'm not the most hyginic person in the world. I can't really say one way or the other though. I'm not educated enough on the subject. |
|
Like I said, I'm not against hygiene. It's hardly fair to compare not washing your hands often to an age where sewage and water systems were open. There are systems and structures in place that make something of the magnitude of the black plague unlikely. |

Was the point to your story that people who have no hygeine will have more bacteria on their hands? I don't really see how you're supporting your argument. |
|
It's funny to me that you see more paranoia about hygiene in these bottom-rung chain restaurants, whereas in an upscale place, you just know at least one or two people have had their hands all over your food. I suppose that's partly a matter of trust, but I think also your more educated, more worldly and adventurous clientèle are less worried about this stuff. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
Yeah, I fixed the story so now it makes sense, don't know how I managed to type it out how I did. The thing was that the people who washed their hands actually had the most bacteria. I'm not saying that is bad thing, but I find it funny either way. |

Double post, but I totally agree with your observation. If anyone knows who Anthony Bourdain is (rad, rad guy), he talks about all the terrible practices that go on in kitchens, that he observed and experienced in his years as a cook and chef. We're talking drug use, sex, health code violations, the works. Does it make him think twice about going to restaurants, or enjoying the plate set in front of him? No, because he knows even if the food is a day old, rehashed, or that an employee might have done something unsavory during the preparation of his food, he will still enjoy it, and chances are he will be fine. |

Have you ever considered the reason WHY these diseases don't spread as much and not as many people die from them is because of good hygeine? |
|
Before really getting into this, I'd like to know what you think good hygiene is. This is probably something I should have put in the OP, but I'll ask it now anyway. |
|
I sorta agree with the original post, but I think people who don't wash their hands after handling money, privates below, doorknobs or your nose are disgusting and should be punched. |

I would rather die on my feet then to live on my knees.
Not all that bad really. I wash my hands when I get shit on them, but luckily I've learned to wipe my ass without doing so. I wouldn't be worried about the crabs in the least, and his pubes isn't going to be full of disease, at least not originating there. Sweat and some stank sure, but those aren't really something I choose to worry about. Either way, it isn't much worse than someone touching their face or mouth (which people do all the time without thinking it). People pick and choose the activities that are disgusting, but they ignore ones that are just as bad, and are done with greater frequency. |

I completely agree with you. |

Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience.
It isn't more complicated that that.
It is opening to or recieving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is,
without either clinging to it or rejecting it.

When I wipe my ass, I use enough toilet paper so no shit will get through. I also manage not to make contact with anything but said paper. I might be harming some trees, but I am effectively avoiding contact with feces. |

Germs get passed much more easily than you think and hand-shakes is the number one speading cause of the common cold. |
|
Seriously man, how much would it put you out to wash your hands after you wipe your ass? |

Keep in mind the varying butt-wiping techniques used around the world. Many places use water, basically washing the shit out with their hands. |

I am so glad Afghanistan has gotten started in the Westernization process. That disgusting stuff alone was good enough reason to turn them into a capitalist democracy. If anybody wants to argue with me about the liberation of Afghanistan in the future, I have another trump card. |

You are dreaming right now.
You are sadly mistaken if you think Afghanistan or Iraq is going to become a western country. |
