Angela Harlem said:Irvine said something which made me wonder. It has nothing to do with willies though...Is the practice of having a shower every day, using deodorant, and washing yourself regularly....RARE in the rest of the world????
I'm never travelling, lol..

What puzzles me is why Christians do it, considering much of the New Testament is frankly preoccupied with the subject and St. Paul's rather persistent and strong language against circumcision. So much for Biblical fundamentalism.

He was against the Christians who taught a return to strict adherence to the Mosaic law and who said that circumcision was necessary for being a Christian. Paul said that neither circumcision or non-circumcision were of any consequence whatsoever.
melon said:Either way, my point was that there is absolutely no religious compulsion to practice circumcision. None at all. And Paul is clearly against the practice, while not exactly explicitly condemning those who do it anyway.

Why was it done ? None of your business
Why do I recommend it ? Cleaner , more hygienic, more "endurance", my wife also prefers it.
Im actually thankful that my parents kicked me out of the house to be outside all the time.anitram said:Anti-perspirant is common courtesy, really. Now if we could only get men to shave their armpits, I'm betting the subway smell would be far more favourable.
On that note, North Americans are somewhat obsessed about hygiene. Case in point: Purell and other anti-bacterial hand lotions. People, please do not use these. Not only are they relatively useless (99.9% eliminated only means a 3 log scale elimination which you can calculate what it means when you have 100,000 bacteria, for example), but they are killing your commensal bacterial. I can't believe stuff like this is on the market outside of hospitals, I really can't.
One of the major theories for the incredible spread of allergies in the first world is that we do not have parasites to drive the opposite response. Another is that our children are kept in way too sterile an environment where allergens and various other foreign antigens are kept away from them while kids in the third world are digging and eating dirt at a young age.
It's something to consider, anyway.
