it's a new record!!!

Well, back in the times of ancient Rome, people only bathed like once a year because they thought that bathing often was unhealthy...

And I'm going on a week without a shower; gonna take one anyhow.

 

Ew. Have you at least washed your hair?!!

 

Yes. The Romans also believed in eating as much as possible, and than making yourself vomit so you could eat some more. Sound like a productive idea? Next time, try using a bit more relavant of an example.

 

I wasn't going for relevance, I was criticizing your idea of what's hygenic. You're a bit too extreme, chill the fuck out.

 

Who says I'm not "chill"? My idea of what's hygenic comes from science, not social norms. I don't see why you are criticising it. If you'd like to argue against science, be my guest.

 

wasn't it not long ago you said you only bathed once a week?

 

How's it unhealthy to not shower?

I did finally take a shower though, lol. Are ya'll happy now?

 

Not everybody shares your views (even if they are "based on science"), don't tell somebody they are wrong just because they chose not to shower; that's just making an ass out of yourself. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't state what science says is best.

 

Ever hear of bacteria? There are some bacteria that are normal skin flora, but if you allow them to grow unchecked, they could increase your risk of getting an infection. Skin flora is fine and dandy, until you get a cut (that's why we wash our wounds). So why not maintain a healthy amount of bacteria by bathing regularly? And, although this has nothing to do with science, it is inconsiderate of others to not maintain your body odor. We're not just talking about normal BO here; when you don't bathe, the smells you encounter in your everyday life (think: food, dirt, smoke, and pollution combined--yummy) will stay with you, in your hair and on your skin. No one wants to smell that. I see no reason for you not to bathe, and lazyness is not an excuse--you could at least wash your body without doing your hair, in which case it shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

 

ohh...
i didn't smell bad though. i seriously didn't. *shrugs* i am just lazy, though. i've had alotta h/w and stuff so i havent had time to shower. when i didnt have anything to do i just didnt feel like showering. haha.

 

**bangs head on desk**

You know, I think the hipforums is the only place on earth I'd get into an argument about bathing .

Don't state what science says is best? Okay guys, you heard the guy-

-Katie, you should no longer go to the gynecologist. I'm sorry I mislead you by reccomending such a horrific idea that was based on science.

-Soulrebel, if you take 1,000 mg of PCP, you will become a god and your dick will be the size of a redwood tree. (not based on science, but, I'm not supposed to metion science anymore).

-Ed, if you cut off your brother's nipples and plant them in your hair, you will grow a muffin tree that will provide you with food everyday for the rest of your life. (and if you do end up doing this, I won't judge you, because I'd have to invoke science in order to judge you)

-Lucifer Sam, instead of gasoline, try urinating in your car's gas tank. That way, your car will still run, and it will emit a clean, earth-friendly deposite.

I'm really sorry for talking about science, guys. I guess I'm a bad Universal Spirit.

 

haha.... ancient rome.. orgies!

 

la dee da dee da!!!

 

hahahhaa!!! i'm so going to do that... i love muffins

 

lmao, you take things way too literally. I was just saying you don't need to tell somebody that they're views of what hygiene is are wrong; some may think the same of yours. It's ridiculous that you are acting like a parental figure.

 

This thread makes me laugh.

I didn't shower for 3 days and my hair smelled like latex. It was weird...so I just took a shower and it smells like flowers again.
