Sometimes there *are* laws

I'd like you to please give me evidence that your claims about human skin are indeed accurate. Until then, expect much chagrin from people who don't like people making shit up.

 

This should be good, other than the fact this person only wants to piss people off.

 

Up in Vermont my children's old pediatrician's office required people to remove their shoes during the winter and mud season.

 

LMAO

You really should read threads before you post in them...

If you have read the thread... then you should go take some remedial reading and geography courses...

 

For a while it did have to do (however briefly) with insurance and then are there places where taking shoes off was a norm. And even if I am wrong, what is your problem? You just like to insult and fight? Are you sure you're Canadian and not a New Yorker?

 

Why is this such an ordeal, if you must go barefoot strut it.
If you have a problem with it hold your tongue and deal with it, hopefully in a mature non hate filled manner.
These are just people expressing themselves, it should not involve others unless a law has been broken.

 

Also if a law has been broken, how does it pertain to you, does it make your life harder, if not why care?

 

Perhaps you had better take a remedial reading course as well, seems that was in no way directed at you.

 

I know it wasn't directed at me. I was pointing out that you are a total attack dick. Can you read that a$$hole?

 

Burnt, thank you for your comment. I'm sure you'll be attacked, but thanks anyhow.

 

Well then, I would suggest that if you don't like what I post, don't read it...

If you have problems with the fact that I like to laugh at people who post shit without having any concept of what they are replying to, that is your problem, not mine.

 

it is just a matter of laws and mentality. in Italy a shop owner is expected to grant access and service to everyone, for a double row of reasons, on the ground of prohibition of discrimination and the fact that showing goods for sale is regarded as a contract proposal , hence refusing a customer is infringement of a deal (you showed it to me, you've got to sell it to me at that price) and there are no signs like NSNSNS or warnings that the owner reserves the right to deny service to anyone. also there are no known laws against them,only in a few places like elevators or escalators and other toe-hazardous facilities sometimes there is some sort of prohibition. on the other hand private clubs can filter their audience, and in fact the only place where i was tossed out (not literally, but for some obscure reason this fate was reserved to my friends, two girls, who were grabbed and dragged to the exit, as i discovered when out of the club) was a disco club.

i do agree with those hoping that finally the world starts regarding barefooting as an irrelevant detail like wearing or not gloves, a hat etc. if someone does not love seeing me barefoot i desert him forever, friend or shop, don't make a lot of fuss about that. screaming and hollering aren't the perfect way to gain tolerance respect or love. if there is someone more stupid and obnoxious than a store shop or club owner discriminating barefoot patrons that is a barefooter going mad and becoming a noisy drag for that. :chillpill::chillpill::chillpill: . there is absolutely no need for that. fuck the owner and truck to the next one, that's called voting with your (bare) feet. ok, i already told that.

 

Sorry you didn't take 10th grade science. Do you understand the concept of refrigerators? It's why we put food in them, cold slows down bacterial multiplication.

Here want some science though

*edit*
Like of anything in my posts you could argue against, you pick the one thing that's long established scientific fact.

imagine that...

 

Would it be any better on someone's bare foot though. At least it's staying off your skin, and you don't have to worry about cutting your foot then thinking "ahhhh shit I was just in that nasty bathroom 15min ago."

 

a barefoot is not a warm moist environment, and if you read the article, you will see that having washable shoes and washing them ONCE kills 99% of the bacteria...

Therefore, if someone is washing their feet at least once a day, their feet are going to be much cleaner then shoes.

 

Indeed. This is why you will almost never see a case of athlete's foot on a barefooter. The microbe stays on the surface of the skin and dies quickly if not put into a breeding ground of the hot, moist inside of a shoe.

 

Chronic, you are exactly right. The bacteria and smelly barefeet belief is like some urban myth. Like it's illegal to drive barefooted in the US.

 

What you're missing here is that the skin on the sole of the foot is not body temperature. I'm feeling mine right now, and I know from experience that it's not as hot as the inside of my mouth. There's not going to be any marked distinction between the growth rate on the sole of a shoe and the growth rate on a foot, unless it's a North Dakota winter, in which case your main concern would be frostbite, not germs.

Also, you completely left out, as ChronicTom mentioned, the higher-than-body-temperature conditions of the insides of shoes.

I know my science damn well; it's you that needs to substantiate how it is specifically the sole of a foot, not higher temperature that will cause accelerated bacterial growth. Temperature is not going to be a big enough factor to make any significant difference, and neither is sweat, as most of it evaporates before it can be consumed by bacteria if one is barefoot.

 

Madcap is just playing games and probably was banned here under a diff name. We all need to ignore the troll.
