  Do you wash your hands after using the restroom?

  by John Doe in

  i've noticed a disturbing trend where 90% of guys don't wash their hands after using the restroom, and probably 25% don't even after number two'ing.

  encouragingly, about 80% of the guys in law school do wash their hands.

  (i know it's weird, but i count) .

  Um, because sitting down takes more effort than just standing there holding it to aim into the toilet. And of course urinals are meant to be stood at. Toilet seats can be contaminated... etc etc.. life tends towards the easier.

  Why would we need to use toilet paper after peeing? It's not a vagina, the urine doesn't get all over your penis or any part of you. A couple shakes at most and the last couple drops fall into the toilet....

  Remember there is a difference between being clean and being sterile.

  There is far too much emphasis on sterilisation in homes (kitchens and bathrooms), etc, with the use of chemicals that I can assure you are much worse for you than any bacteria growing on your "sweaty balls."

  I often will eat something if it has fallen on the ground (soil or dirt) and just lightly dust it off, there's nothing wrong with keeping your immune system in ... action.

  I'm guessing this recent trend of sterilisation rather than just cleaning with soap and water is a major trend why children are getting allergies to certain natural things. Their enviornments are so freakin sterile they don't build natural immunity to anything until it's too late.

  As for washing after using the bathroom, of course, but I would much rather prefer a REAL soap (do they still sell that? I usually get special soaps from dermatologists) than that liquid crap they are putting in there...

  The past few years, I just buzzed it short and then let it grow out for about half a year or so, then buzz it again, half a year was long enough for it to be considered too long at meetings, but no one said anything to me, except the one time I added 19th century sideburns to the equation, then an elderly brother said if I allowed those sideburns to get any thicker or lower, he would come and shave them off at night while I was sleeping...

  Now I'm liking a shorter style, I usually comb it up at the front and keep it pretty short everywhere else. This helps in Canadian winters because you are always wearing a toque outside and then if you have a longer style its not going to stay, plus I have oily skin and scalp and this leads to my hair looking greasy 2 hours after I shower when I'm wearing a hat, so yeah shorter style is better for this

  so, why is it that we (xy chromosomes) feel obligated to grow beards once we leave the org?

  i've had a little 'chin' beard for about the last 8 years, but every year in november i try to grow the whole thing out... but inevitably i fail miserably.

  maybe my facial follicles are still jws.

  buffalosrfree, great strory!

  I love facial hair styles, I've tried so many.

  Hey check out this picture I made of the names of the various styles!

  I personally perfer the short boxed beard and the viking beard! I'm growing mine out, I'm only 21, so it takes a couple months to come in decently, and I don't have full converage, but young men should be proud of their young man beards! A privelege of youth. (Notice the "boy" style, lol)

  Oil Nears $100/Barrel--What Do You Make of It?

  looks like we here in the good ole us of a may be paying $3.50/ gallon when spring hits next year, if this trend continues.

  china's predominantly state-owned oil company surpassed exxon today in market value, and they are currently drilling not far off the coast of florida(by way of cuba).

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil

  Peak Oil as already happened people, last year. We haven't past the 85 million barrels per day.

  There was only 2 Trillion barrels on this planet, formed at two geological periods 90 and 150 million years ago.

  I've read about 10 books on this subject. Inform yourselves.

  We are on the plateau phase right now and the increase in production of non-conventional oil (eg. Alberta Tar Sands (Butemin)) is barely offsetting decline in conventional oil extraction rates (eg. Light sweet crude in Saudi Arabia for instance)

  Saudi Arabia's massive Ghawar field (the largest in the world) is declinging at 7% a year. Great Britain's North Sea Oil peaked in 1999, it's declining around 17% a year. Mexico's Canterall superfield peaked last year and is declining at 20% a year. The US peaked in 1970 (which correlates to so much geo-politics if you'd care to research)

  The lack of Corporate Media coverage of this topic is astounding, this will the defining event of this century.

  Do Ladies Prefer Gentlemen?

  dear lady friends,.

  i'm massively naif when it comes to the ways of the world.

  and 40 years a wta has not given me a great sense of what's real: crazy rules and regs on "appropriate behavior.".

  All the girls that have approached me (And which up until this year I had to reject ) told me I was such a nice guy. Even random girls on the street I offer a couple bowls of weed to (not on that anymore) cannot believe that I would just share 10-20 dollars of weed with them with no strings attached, simply because I wanted some company and some laughs with some people, they too could not stop saying that they'd never seen a nicer happier person.

  I'm slowly coming to realise that going downtown to a club or some s**t like that is not going to find me a female that will be compatible with me (most looking for...certain parts of a relationship only). I will need to find such a female randomly or purposely once I figure out where such like-minded people such as I but of the other gender frequent.

  My first real relationship of any deep significance with the opposite sex happened this last month. She was completely unreceptive to my extreme passion and sensuality. I get the impression she's only been with "bad guys" and had no idea how to be treated with complete admiration and respect. She did admit to me of being molested by a 50something year old guy when she was 11. So it's obvious she has many issues to work out. I guess most of the guys she's been with just want to bang her hard and just do juvenile BS, smoke up, etc.

  Aries! I am so going through weed withdrawal right now! Anyone else go though this?

  Nvr, are you trying to imitate Stephen Colbert?

  You must be joking right? Please tell me you are joking. You possible cannot see any genius in those quotes. All I see are sheer stupidity and the lack of saying anything new or anything at all.
