what's the indian way? enlighten me

By the way, I remember learning in high school about some Indian religious sect that insisted on bathing five times a day. Whatever happened to them?

I'd rather have shit on my ass than shit on my hand. I'd also rather you have shit on your ass than shit on your hand if I have to be around you. That shit smell doesn't just rub out because you casually wash your hands right after smearing them with feces. It is long-lasting.

You really should stop posting in this thread.

Whoops, I'm getting hit by the double duty (pun intended). Obviously Indian guy who's pissed off that I'm insulting his people and banal philosophizing wannabe Indian guy who wants to score kudos. While you two froth at the mouth the planets still orbit, the sun still shines, Indians have shit on their hands, life goes on.

Okay, I'm not going to say that all Indian people smell bad... but most of them do. I mean, there's this guy at my school, for example, from some Indian place somewhere in India where they speak Indian. He has these long fingernails with grime from the deepest, darkest depths of Hell giving each of his fingertips a black aura of funk. When you walk within 20 ft. of him you are immediately blasted with his stink-field, some sort of combination of spices and body odor magnified to monstrous proportions and radiating from his core like heat waves from the heart of the sun. Really you'd think he could just take a fucking shower and that would be that. The scary thing, though... is what if he does take showers? Ugh... god damn.

wtf. nice to use one person to make a generalization that most indian people smell bad. in all honesty, i could name 10 different white people that smell like absolute shit (and look like it too) but not a single indian person.

Lots of Indians from India have a musky smell to them. It's pretty common.

The use of deodorant seems relatively new there.

Yeah, shit adds a new flavor. It really brings out the e coli.

Thanks for the insult, but I don't support xenophobia no matter what the culture. I've traveled enough to realize to know that just about every culture will have something that insults your petty sensibilities; that's largely the point of traveling in the first place.

It smells in a lot of places in India. What do you expect? It's a 3rd world country, and hygiene isn't exactly the top priority on peoples minds (surviving is). The "funky" smell you get from going to Indian people's houses here in America s from the many spices used in cooking, which are very pungent and tend to spread around the house by convection. Indians that don't cook/eat Indian food that often don't have that smell in their house or on their clothing. I'm fairly Americanized, and don't eat that much spicy Indian food (not that I don't like it, but I prefer a varied/balanced diet and I'm prone to heartburn) and I don't have that smell.

i've been to 3rd world countries that don't smell.

You're just acting like the typical 16 year old and saying the opposite of what everyone else in this thread is saying. It's not working.

I don't think it's unrealistic to expect people to bathe and not stink like an animal. India is one of the last places on Earth where the bubonic plague still exists outside of a laboratory. They do not seem to employ the basic, "common sense" hygiene methods that other countries discovered hundreds of years ago.

Yes, India smells differently. I was there in winter 2004/2005 and of course there was a pungent smokey smell from the fires in Delhi, but even south smelled different. I don't know if the people smell bad or if its just all the trash laying around everywhere, but it smells really badly. Not to mention I got bronchitis during the last week I was there!

Now don't get me wrong, its an amazing place to visit, and would like to see more of the country, but other places are currently higher on my list.

The reasoning for plague has a lot more to do with the fundamental culture surrounding Ahimsa than it does hygiene. I agree with you on that though.

How many Indians have you actually been around? I work with dozens of Indians, many are close friends and none of them smell. True enough, some do, but I've met plenty of rank Americans as well.

Americans are obsessed with hygiene, and while being American I certainly appreciate it and prefer it, it's not my place to use it as a standard to judge others.

imo.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I had no idea body odor and race were related. Some of you seriously think showers are an American-only thing?

Who's judging who about what? The only judgment I see is the judgment of hygiene choices, and it certainly is my place to judge hygiene. Morals don't really come into it, you either smell bad or don't. It's not really that subjective.

I'm thinking Russel Peters is spot on.


Every American I've known has come back from a trip to India with the same comments. "That place is disgusting". I'm sure the rural areas are much nicer than the big-cities.

fyi those people are f-ing morons. they expect shit to be exactly the same as america? i'd bet most of these people are close minded fools.

you may wipe your butt with your hands but you fucking wash them afterwards. plus you use water to clean your ass so it's actually cleaner than smearing shit in your ass crack.

ignorant fools. russell peters was probably trying to be funny but if this is the kind of response you get he should change his act.

I don't think we're on the same page, so this will be my last post. I don't think morals come into it. That wasn't my point.

Carry on

The plague exists in the US as well. Theres a few cases every year, rats in the Sierras carry them.

Indian friends of mine have said india smells bad. Luckily, my friends don't smell but, they have no problem with the 'stereotype' (most stereotypes come about for a reason).

Uh-huh. What would be the point of argument if everybody was on the same page? An extended back-patting session? But I'm sure that's what people like you are used to, sitting in the company of friends who are exactly like you ranting about your group's favorite pet issues and high-fiving each other about how right you are.

You appear to have difficulty sticking to the topic of argument and maintaing static positions across posts. I judge it's not worth arguing with you. Maybe you'll improve in posting quality as time goes on.

Good luck with that.

Yes.

yea, not really. if you use water to clear away MOST of the shit BEFORE you wipe, it's not really a problem.

but, good for you to have some shit smeared in your ass for the rest of the day after you take a crap.

i'd also like to know how you figure it's "long-lasting"? does the shit permeate your hands? are you hands just soaking in shit?

Why would you have any shit still smeared on your ass after wiping? Wipe until the paper comes back clean.
That's what moist wipes are for. When I get up from dropping anchor, my butt is just as clean as if I just took a shower.
Can't vouch for anyone else's bathroom habits, but I'd much rather take my chances with toilet paper and wipes than my hands.
