They Use Their Hand To Wipe?

 
Toilet

I have recently been educated on how people in Iraq wipe their butts!  I know what your thinking.  What are you talking about DJL and how did you even get into this conversation!  Recently a Soldier came back home from a long stay in Iraq and we got to talking.  Yes the conversation took a downward spin.  I believe someone was drinking out a water bottle and he said the people from Iraq would love that bottle.  So of course I say “why”?  Well I was told that they hate toilet paper.  They say it is smearing!  That is unclean!  So instead they “USE THEIR LEFT HAND TO WIPE THE WASTE AWAY and use the water bottle to sprinkle the water on the just wiped area.

  So let’s talk about this for a second.  I had to look this crap (no pun intended) up on the Internet.  There is actually people who live in a Western society that say they do what the locals do when visiting their country!  We need to analyze this.   “What the hell is wrong with you people”!  I can see you need to squat down over a hole they call a toilet since your in a foreign country but you don’t need use your left hand to scrap the crap off your butt! You can’t use your right hand because you can’t!  That is right you shake hands and eat with your right hand.  I have so much to say about this I am rambling!!!!   Think of the process in which your done doing your duty and you stick your left hand down there and scoop up any remaining KLINGONS. What do you do next you say?  You grab a water bottle or a hose or even a jug and spray water on your butt.  OK, I am cool with that.  But then what do you do with that left hand?  THEY HAVE NO SOAP!  What do you do with your wet butt?  THEY HAVE NO PAPER! 

 OK you have just spilled water on your nasty left hand and you go to eat.  Of course they use no utensils so you need to use your right hand to eat.  THEY STILL HAVE NO SOAP, REMEMBER!  What if you have only one hand?  THEY HAVE NO SOAP!   The thoughts going through my head just made me throw up into the back of my throat!  How do they shower?  Think of the bacteria and disease on everyone’s left hand.  No wonder the life expectancy in Afghanistan is only 44 years old!  Think about all the other hygiene issues I can get into!  They need a serious dose of science.  I have to go to the bathroom now…

I would say it is better than toilet paper if they use Soap and other stuffs for cleaning it properly. It can wipe out all the Bacteria and all others. But, think about your butt without washing, just a wipe using toilet paper and left just like that for a long day.

What to say about the Bacterias living there? It may cause more harm, right ?

I have also heard that women are for procreation, men are for recreation! I wonder what their right hands are doing during recreation.

And of course they think Pork is unclean! Hypocritical and archaic!

6 Lolwut { 07.29.08 at 12:32 pm }

Its pretty normal in some countries, is this such a revelation?

7 ImUrOBGYN { 07.29.08 at 2:22 pm }

If you’re smearing your ass with shit when you wipe, then you need to learn to properly wipe your ass w/toilet paper. And if you still feel a bit dirty, do like I do and wet a little bit paper at the end of your major wipes, wipe with that, and again with some dry paper.

Omg, I can’t believe I’ve actually entered myself into this topic and actually commented. lol

Yea, its only shit. Oh, your not doing this right? So who cares if someone else is, its really not your concern. Sorry to break it to you like that. ttyl

A French Canadian intern was confused as to why Indians used water rather than toilet paper to cleanse their cheeks and the chasm between. An intern of Punjabi descent recounted his father’s explanation for this cultural phenomenon. When someone drops some food on a table, wiping it with a paper towel is a quick fix. But to really clean the mess, washing it with water is a much more effective solution.

Be an adult and get over your immature self. There are many cultures, if you are so concerned don’t shake hands.

11 Chimneys { 11.24.08 at 8:53 pm }

I can be liberal too. But disgusting is disgusting. I cringe if my hand accidentaly slips through the paper. Some of you people are nasty.

12 John { 12.24.08 at 12:41 am }

I never clean myself with just toiler paper. I don’t think it’s really clean. I always first wipe with toilet paper, then have a shower and clean my ass with soap + hand.

16 Jameel { 06.05.09 at 2:09 pm }

Actually they wipe while pouring water down their crack. Indians and Pakistanis (my dad is Pakistani) do the same thing.

Of course, one washes one’s hands with soap and water afterwards, and it’s way cleaner than leaving “Klingons” in your crack like toilet paper does.

So get over yourself Hypocrite John.

17 Betty { 07.03.09 at 5:40 pm }

Come on, is soap really used or not?

18 Betty { 07.03.09 at 5:48 pm }

It kinda makes you cringe when you go to a restaurant and you know that it is a possibility that the same hand holding your plate and beverage glass has been washing his butt since childhood and the smell residue has to be there from so many washings! Personally, I always dry wipe with tissue a few times to eliminate the smear factor, wet wipe until it is clear and then dry wipe last. No Klingons here!

19 OMG { 08.19.09 at 4:42 pm }

Lord. OK, shit is disgusting. Why would ANYONE want to touch it willingly. And as far as the Pakistanis using soap, if you have spent a life time thinking a little shit on your hand is no biggie, I bet they just do a quick swish and get on with their day. What if you have long nails? That shit stays under the nails. Ugh. And the smell factor. If you touch shit every day of your life, your hand is bound to smell like shit. I went to Morocco, another land of no TP and I starved for five days. Everyones left hand was unusually dark in the crevices. SHIT. I’m tellin’ ya, it was shit! There was no way I was eating any goat and couscous made by shit hands. It’s vile and filthy. And TP does not smear shit. OK, maybe if you are 5 and just learning to wipe, but lets talk about what the bathroom door is for: to hide the fact THAT WE ALL WET THE TP and wipe our asses with it. Admit it or not. And bidets, some of us use bidets. The bottom line is that the countries who wipe without TP are poor countries whose practices are often rooted in archaic thinking and lack of resources. I guarantee, hand a Paki a roll of Charmin, he’ll be smuggling that shit into his household by the end of the day. LONG LIVE CHARMIN, AND OUT WITH THE LEFT HAND!!!

20 Laith { 01.10.10 at 2:36 pm }

Okay WTF is this idiot talking abut? We do have soaps and we use them, and most of us use BIDETS instead of hoses.

As we all know, Bidets are much more hygienic and even hoses are cleaner than toilet papers. And we do use soaps after using hoses AND bidets. So stop being total retards and don’t believe everything you read on the internet. For more information on this contact me at Terrorrulestheworld@yahoo.com

Have a bad day.

21 miss ann { 02.22.10 at 6:48 am }

Dribbling water down your ass crack does not get the poop off! You would need a high pressure spout like a shower head to effectively clean the area. Then what? There’s no paper in these rest rooms so they walk around with a wet squishy ass all day? That creates a musty genital area that stinks worse than the shit itself. And for women that can’t be good. The butt juice will just work its way into the vagina causing infections. If you are smearing shit when you wipe you are doing it wrong. You are supposed to wipe until the paper is completely clean, no matter how many balls of paper you have to make. If there is still streaks on the paper you are not done wiping. Water on shit will just make it slimy-not clean it completely off. And to walk around with one hand covered in feces is just fucking disgusting. I don’t care if they eat with it or not, they are still touching everything around you therefore defeating the purpose of not eating with it.

22 jaydee { 02.27.10 at 1:44 pm }

When ever I have a crap I always wash my bottom thoroughly afterwards with hot water and hand gel, usually anti-bacterial wash gel. I am always nice and clean in that area and feel fresh all day

23 Travelled { 03.01.10 at 1:43 pm }

24 Karthik { 03.16.10 at 10:36 am }

Ok, I was having this argument with my Canadian flat mate this morning, and I can’t help but comment on this forum. Whatever I post here is not intended to hurt any of you who support using tissue.
First of all, if you say that tissue is more hygienic than water, get a life. If you think tissue is better, why not wipe your body with tissue instead of water and soap, why not clean all your utensils with tissue instead of water and soap, why wash your cars with water instead of tissue? My flat mate argued that is different. How is it different? Any normal person with common sense knows that water is better at removing bacteria and germs than tissue. Washing with water removes germs more effectively than tissue. Secondly, as one of the persons above said, tissue is a quick fix whereas water is better for long term hygiene. Thirdly, we Indians or generally South Asians (I don’t know about other cultures) believe that ‘body is the temple’, and as any doctor would say, a healthy mind in a healthy body (prove them wrong). Why be partial towards all other external body parts while washing and against your butts? If you want to have your entire body clean, why not wash your body and arse with water? I understand that many of you will argue that you still take a shower (that’s what my flat mate argued). Tell me frankly, how often do you take a shower immediately after your crap? And are you taking a shower every time you take a crap?
Now someone above told that it is disgusting to eat from a hand which has touched crap. My question: How many times have you eaten any food cooked by an Asian? When you ordered something the last time online, did you know who cooked it? And how do you know whether the hand is clean or unclean? Did you go ask him/her or smelled it (if you smelled it, you definitely are a psycho)? And how many times have you seen any dirt/crap on any utensils? I personally have equal number of Indian and western friends. I have cooked many times for my house mates (guess what? all of them are westerners, no joke). None of them ever complained anything about my cleanliness.
And for others who feel it’s disgusting, imagine you have germs multiplying on your ass and your stinking ass. Which is better? A second of crap on your hands, or a long term smell and germs on your ass?
Lastly, I understand that in many places, people after washing their asses with water don’t wash their hands properly. I definitely agree that it is bad for health and hygiene. But I assume people are more educated nowadays, and they know that they should use soap and water to clean their hands. I also agree it is a cultural difference. You westerners use tissue, we use water. If we can’t learn and understand the cultural difference and just argue for the sake of argument, I am sorry but I don’t respect that. If we can understand, think logically, if need be then research and then apply what is best for health or anything, I think that would be something which can be appreciated.

25 brian { 04.25.10 at 4:42 pm }

Friends keep in mind that besides only enforcing points back and forth, be able to educate yourself too. Out of all statements made in this blog, none made sense as to exactly why tissue is better than water. I have had the opportunity to try both the options. And honestly I felt much cleaner with water. Wiping left a disgusting smell plus shit along the skin!

I understand the typical cliché is feces coming in contact with your hand when you wipe. Please think beyond that, don’t you think there is still more that you just smeared against your bum cheeks? Over that imagine wearing boxers or panties that run in between “the wiped area”. All that remains are now on your underwear. I am sure that a lot of people sometimes take their underwear off and just throw them in their closets. Now they have bacteria in their closet floor or clothing or what ever there is around

In comparison after cleaning yourself with water all you have to do is use an antibacterial soap to simply clean your hand, be sure to keep the soap for at least 15 seconds. Then just dry yourself dry with tissues.

There are 6.8 billion people in world out of which 4 billion people prefer water. Water by far is the universal way of cleansing anything. I guess the technique seems a little “outdated” but it sure makes me feel cleaner than a feces wipe.

I am living and working in Iraq as a government contractor. I’m going to throw a little of my perspective in and take this off on a bit of tangent. Using water and one of your hands is not just about cultural or religious differences and preferences. We learn and form habits and behaviors based upon economic factors, social class, religious influences, cultural background, and so on. Of course there are also aspects of our individual personalities that influence choices and options for behaviors and habits. After reading some of this blog and other comments on the net, and after all the conversations I have shared about this topic, I want to talk about what seems to b the main concern. Using water versus toilet is not the main issue; for many it’s not really an issue at all. Everyone I talk with is concerned about touching feces with a bare hand and, more importantly, what is done to properly clean that hand after coming in contact with feces.

Let me start by talking about the Iraqi men that I work every single day. I watch the Iraqi men come out of the portable toilets and I can tell you that the rural men RARELY wash their hands with the soap and water that is available and is located just a few steps away from the portable toilet. They usually just pour water on their hands. Some do use the hand sanitizer that hangs off the portable toilet. If the hand sanitizer is empty, many just use water and do NOT wash their hands. However, from what I have seen, it is rare that an urban Iraqi man not wash their hands with soap and water immediately after defecating. The few that do not have migrated from rural areas to the big city.

…I also noticed that other hygiene practices were drastically different between urban and rural people. In the smaller cities, many people are still farmers and live rural lives. The rural people simply don’t tend to personal hygiene the way that urban people do. The rural people do not bathe regularly or even just wash important areas, because the bad body odor is ghastly at times. Now here is something to consider that seems to contrast this overall lack of concern with cleanliness. The Iraqi men groom each other of facial hair. They use string to trim beard/mustache hair and eyebrows. I find it curious that the very same person with offensive body odor has eyebrows more shapely than many western women. We all value different things, obviously.

Still off on a tangent…I’ll share some other observations about rural versus urban Iraqi men. The rural men think nothing of scratching, pulling, and adjusting their groin area in front of each other or anyone else for that matter. I recently spoke with one of them about this. He is from a small rural town, but there is something different about him. He said he tells the other guys not to adjust themselves like that out in the open, because as he puts it “the Americans don’t like that.” Interesting that he thinks that is an American thing. In Baghdad, the Iraqi men almost never did such a thing in the open. The few that did were not from the big city. …The rural men will also not just pick their noses, but dig around inside their noses (left or right hand, by the way) while speaking with you as if it was the most normal thing in the world. I have never seen one person wash his hands after sticking one of more fingers inside his nose.

Ok, back from my tangent to the main topic. Using water and your hand to wipe/clean after defecating is about as basic as it gets. As people become more educated and have greater resources, aspects of behaviors and habits tend to change. This is not always true, because the men I work with have the resource of washing with soap and water, but MANY do not. They seem genuinely confused about concerns that are raised.

I guess in the end either you get yourself clean or you don’t. Surely not everyone that uses water does a good job. Some people are just sloppy, lazy, in a hurry, etc.

After what I have personally witnessed for nearly two years, in cities all over Iraq, I share in the concerns of hygiene. Sometimes people are on better behavior when someone sees some aspects of their behavior. I find myself wondering if they do less when no one is around to see any part of their behavior. If so, the whole scene just sinks further away from decent hygiene.

27 Blood_Smoke { 06.07.10 at 2:35 pm }

Bathrooms in the US are sometimes without soap and alot of people don’t wash neway, u expect me to believe that in a land where an ass is wiped with the left hand and TP doesn’t exist except in fairy tales that these people have soap available and wash? GTFO Some of these places don’t have properly running water and shit in a hole….Even before Americans had running water they had corn cobs and the sears catalogue…….

28 ludmira { 06.17.10 at 5:47 pm }

what’s wrong with you DJL? I’m a journalist .you silly man , must know that all people in the region you’re concocting your story about are bound to wipe their asses if they are to practice their religion.

29 ludmira { 06.17.10 at 5:50 pm }

The only thing is that you’ve never ever live among these people! there are literally so many poor district in each city where people do not practice hygiene at all. That’s not a good excuse for you to brain wash people of the world by the B.S you’ve provided in your web article

30 Wadh { 08.16.10 at 4:41 am }

peole from india and sub contentinal wash their asses properly..
and then wash their hands.. i dont know about iraq.. can you people lick ur girl friends ass? i dont hink so.. :) we can always lick and do ######## anytime without any hesitate becaue we know down there is clean and fresh :D … can someone explain me how to wipe the ass when you are in a loose motion situation? LOL disgusting..

31 Wadh { 08.16.10 at 6:57 am }

what about swiming pools???? yaaaaaaak.. it is sooooo unhygenic to jump in to swimming pool without washing wiped ass :( im happy to jump on to an indian swimming pool rather than a western countries swimminh pool.. yaaaaa shit water.. :(

32 Mike { 09.26.10 at 2:24 am }

This explains why taxis driven by Indians smell like shit. And I’m not even saying this to be racist. So many times Ive been in Taxis driven by Indians I have to plug my nose. And no its not spices they use in food that makes the scent. Thats so fucking nasty, evolve people. And for people (Indians) that say its cleaner to do it this way I disagree Its like picking up a dogs shit or another persons shit with your hand and saying its okay… eewwww no wonder there is hepatitis

33 JB { 10.10.10 at 6:51 am }

Ignorance is bliss…

34 Lol { 11.30.10 at 5:30 pm }

This topic sounds like it’s written by a 10-year-old uneducated American raised in the suburbs by parents who never met foreigners in their lives. Cultures differ. Iraqis probably think we are dirty too for whipping ourselves with toilet paper without washing

35 Lol { 11.30.10 at 5:35 pm }

And practicing Muslim Iraqis are generally clean, they wash their hands, arms and face 5 times before each prayer everyday. Probably more than we ever wash our ass after taking a dump right? Nope, we never do, we just whip away.

Considering how many times we wash our faces everyday, it also makes their feet cleaner than all of our faces. Sad to say

yeah but how much shit has been wiped on that soap i wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot barge pole i wipe with paper and it dont leave shit if done correctly some very important man that i cant remember the name of but is referenced on call of duty ;) once said if your not proud of the colours you stand by choose different colours what that means is if you move to a different country you conform to there ways ie; you learn there languege you abide by there laws you dont demand mosks to be put up and bibles removed from hospitals and most importantly and i mean MOST importantly you dont lift the seat on the only toilet at my workplace and leave your gruby little feet prints on the pan and snap the bottom bolts so i have to hover over the bog everytime i need a shit im not racist in the slightest but if ya think i am GOOD fuck ya

40 Bend { 01.09.11 at 3:04 pm }

Well, it all fairness, just using toilet paper to wipe your ass doesn’t do a very good job of cleaning. If you were walking and fell down in some dog shit, would you just take some paper towels and wipe it off? Hell, no, you’d wash it with soap and water. I don’t know why we don’t use bidets in America. I want to build a house, and I’m going to put a bidet in every bathroom.

41 G-bob { 01.14.11 at 6:49 am }

but your ass is your ass its supposed to have shit in it i’d rather there be a slight non visable amount of shit on the inside on my sphincter than on my fingers. Dogs lick there rusty sheriff badge clean but i cant imagine you doing that if you had the talent

42 Ahmet { 02.09.11 at 11:56 pm }

This is an interesting issue. In many east societies people use water and hands because it is the cleanest way. This is done for centuries when the westerners were using nearly nothing- doing it inside the house in comidines and throw it out the window. This was the reason umbrellaand high heel shoes invented.
other problem is that modern people are align to their bodies. Something coming from you is something you have to deal with. IT,s a part of you. The problem is that when people are poor they can’t find soap or that kind of thing. And it’s not that common to be dirty.

43 iqbal { 02.10.11 at 4:38 pm }

all these people who are SICKENED by the idea of a hand touching the butthole area are mostly western (american and may be some european), I don’t understand what is crying over here for? most of their females would take that male thing in their mouths, and most of these people will lick that female thing at night, and they will do anal intercourse too, and would use fingers in the process, and around vagina too, don’t tell me those are sacred parts, most of you jerked off too while you were growing up, and most of you have to have a contact with your semen when you are having sex (which you guys do on a regular basis), so, don’t be biased, now in eastern countries we have high pressure showers which cover a narrower target area to clean the shit off the butt-holes, but those who don;t have these showers installed yet still use water and their hand to clean it and guys, WE HAVE SOAP, that too anti-bacterial, to wash our hands with

44 ranfernan { 03.24.11 at 1:39 pm }

haha. I like how Colin is asking us to pardon his retarded “English” and then he hammers down on other people with no-holds barred.
From Colin: ” from what i see ppl that call rasist must feal thretond in some way from what ppl say which leads me to believe that they don’t believe in what they do themselves an are not happy with themselves either! I am happy with my clean self, so call me what u like! (parden the line) I couldnt give 2 shits! xD ”

So, Colin, according to you, anyone who calls you, or as you like to say “english ppl” a racist is actually scared that they are at fault and have no defence except to call you racist. Assuming a case in which this is true shouldn’t you be as kind to them as you are asking us to be kind to your absolute lack of spelling, grammar, any ability to be coherent in your writing and I am going to take a while stab at the dark and say your speech?

And to add to the topic of hygiene there is no defence for any of you “righteous” westerners to say that wiping with dry pieces of toilet paper is in any way as clean as using water. In addition, all of you shower and clean your bottom with water and soap and, duh, your hand. If you use a shit rag then your spreading all that shit on to the rest of the clothes you wash it with. If you wash it by it self then all that shit is going all over your sink. And using a rag multiple times is sick. Also where do you keep it in the mean time between using it and “cleaning” it? Just in the bath tub? That means you got sick ass towel just sitting somewhere in your bathroom or in your bedroom somewhere. If it is in a hamper then it is going all over your clothes! Disgusting.

At home my steps are 1) toilet paper in case to take the easy stuff off.
2)water+ toilet paper to get harder stuff off
3)water+toilet paper+soap for final wipe.
4)wash hands with soap.

Finally, this entire article has nothing to do with cleanliness, it’s another example of the absolute godliness felt by western supremacists. You are just barging down on an aspect of another culture other than yourselves to justify your being and ways of living. Like HECK can you tell me you do not have flaws omg you bunch of hypocrites. Not to mention the prime example of denial in your many, many, many, many failures. And I know what you are thinking: “what? name one thing that we have done wrong?” well as an appetizer : your damn economy, credit hungry fat ass spenders, central banks, making possession of gold illegal, inventing income tax to pay off money that can not be paid off to fat European and American central bankers which were all examples of amending and going against the founding fathers’ constitution, starving and taking away jobs from your people, and organizing the greatest economy bubble in history by taking away the gold standard and putting the world into a U.S. dollar backed currency.

Some of the dumbest moves on Earth so get off your high horse you, yes, racist hill-billies.

And deny your racism all you want, spin the disk all you want, you are just hypocrites.

WAKE UP! The problem is, the daily DIRECT CONTACT with FECAL MATTER! Spreading around DEADLY BACTERIA through improper washing (you know they don’t wash properly). SURE, use water, but use a buffer (like tissue). Why is it insulting to use the left hand, then?BECAUSE, you touch feces DIRECTLY… DAILY! It’s under your fingernails, EVERY DAY! It permeates your skin, everyday! Wake up!! Use both, WATER and TISSUE if you want (or some buffer material of your choice)!! THEN, wash your FU@#ING hands!! With SOAP!!! I could go on, but I want to keep it simple. Got it?… India.

46 AC { 05.15.11 at 6:33 pm }

This topic is so funny I actually read through all of the hilarious comments from both sides! I originally was researching a different culture’s wiping practices and stumbled upon this one. I have come to the conclusion that I can supplement my current wiping situation with some soap and water (on a folded piece of toilet paper) along with your proper hand washing while singing the “happy birthday” song twice in order to obtain the cleanest rear end and the cleanest hands! A win win! We start today! LOL. As for other interesting comments, I’d have to say Liz made some interest comments about her experience with the hygiene of rural and urban Iraqui men she worked with. Very interesting. Also, ranfernan started sounding more like a patriotic American than someone from another country, but I guess you are better educated than the average American! Your comments at the end were right on and this is why I say you sound more like an American patriot. Those topics you touched on are far more pressing than how we should be wiping our behinds!

In what seems to be her finale, she/he wrote: “your damn economy, credit hungry fat ass spenders, central banks, making possession of gold illegal, inventing income tax to pay off money that can not be paid off to fat European and American central bankers which were all examples of amending and going against the founding fathers’ constitution, starving and taking away jobs from your people, and organizing the greatest economy bubble in history by taking away the gold standard and putting the world into a U.S. dollar backed currency. ”

Not sure about the illegal gold part, but everything else is spot on. You should educate my people or maybe just give that guy Colin a lesson in grammar. Colin your writing is atrocious! Please write normally. That is the cool thing to do—not all that shortened text writing. That’s just confusing. But I digress.

Thank you all for the entertaining responses and for the few people who put some real insight into this discussion.

Wow this topic is still alive?

I actually use paper, then a wipe to clean things up, then more paper to dry things up. SO clean you can eat on it. Lol. Just kidding there.

true that about eating with only ur right hand. BUT WHAT ABOUT PREPARING FOOD!

It is true that water cleans better than the TP, but my main concern is that how clean is ur left hand afterwards? even if u do use soap, its always hard to remove the dirt under ur nails.

I’d rather have half clean ass than a half clean hand, after all, i do take atleast 2 baths a day, so no cling ons will remain there for a lot of hours

For all you people out there the standard indian way of doing it is quite clean. we use water and left ands but usually the flat part of the hand and not the finger tips. and we indians also keep trimmed finger nails. and after doing it the firsst thing we do is use soap/anti bacterial. it leaves u feeling clean like a baby.

While using tissue paper, one thing is forgotten. All men and most women have hairs around their anus. While using tissue paper i m definitely sure there will be fecal matter in between the hairs, so cleaning it water is definitely hygienic.

53 Annie { 11.24.11 at 12:47 am }

Both sides have valid points, but given a choice I opt for good ol tp. If anyone has a dog or a baby, at some time or another you have touched poop by accident. You know, it takes forever to get rid of the smell off your hand. So I can’t imagine doing this on a daily basis on purpose.

Thank goodness someone had the bright idea to invent adult wet wipes (ie ‘Always’) which are similar to the ones we use on babies. This totally solves the problems of only using tp and it’s the best of both worlds (east meets west).

54 Sabrina { 12.02.11 at 4:50 pm }

It may also be a good idea to place a fingernail file next to the bar of soap. Just in case.

Oh Come on!! You are such a class A idiot. why dont you dust your clothes with telcum powder and wipe yourself with tissue paper for a shower. You use water for all that so why not when cleaning shit off your ass hole. Why is it Taboo there. The western cleaning practices have imerged from medevel Britain which had little clean water untill the last 100 years or so. The concept of bathing and washing everyday was unheard of. They just doused themselves in perfume and powder. So to this day this outdated concept is used in the western world. To pour water down your butt while wiping cleans every nook and cranny and fold. Than u get up and wash your hands with soap and water. So why yuck? Everybody knows what happens when u do a huge dump and try to wipe that mess of your butt. It smears on your butt and sticks to your hands so what do u do? You wash u’re fucking hands. But amazingly in a study 90 percent of fecal mater ends up on doorknobs n handles, phones, elevator buttons and inadvertantly in our mouths. Why when wiping is such a fool proof clean method and soap is ever abundant and no shit supposedly gets on your hand. Google the stats if u don’t believe me biatch! So stop being a fucking racist and an Asshole. Ya fucking moron!

American stupidity just never ceases to amaze me.

Ancient Romans used to wash their butts with water after defecating, as did the Greeks. It was only after the barbarian albinos from the north sacked Rome that this civilized habit was lost to the Europeans.

I cannot think of anything more disgusting in this world than the Albinomal code of personal hygiene. They do not wash for days on end (I have personally encountered natives of several European countries such as Belgium and Britain who told me they took great pride in not shaving, washing, or keeping themselves for weeks, apparently a very fashionable ting to do among the albinos) and cover themselves up in perfume to keep away the smell (perfumes were invented by a man from ancient India and was later brought to Europe by the Arabs -look it up albinos and albino apologists). Customs officers in India have recounted to me that of all the people from different nationalities they meet, it is the albinos that are the filthiest. Their teeth tend to become more yellow and their gums smelly because of their animal-like diet, their skin becomes saggy and wrinkled much earlier than that of the other races, while they are among the ugliest specimens of humanity during puberty (warts, boils, oily skin, freckles, red hair…ugh) and are ‘good looking’ and youthful only in a very narrow window post-teenage and before their 30s. These albinos were borne as a result of a mutation among early human populations and were kicked out of these tribes as outcastes, following which they migrated to Europe and mated with the neanderthals (hence the red hair, white skin, freckles, and other sub-human characteristics), giving rise to the white race.

The obsession of the albino race with shit and toilets is quite evident from their obsession with toilets in India or some other 3rd world country. Here’s the bottomline: these cultures were civilized long, LONG before your albino ancestors learnt how to wash their butts with water from the Romans and the Greeks; all superior human races, whether Indians or Chinese, Semites or Egyptians, Arabs or Japanese, Africans (Nubians, Ethiopians, etc) or Native Americans -are all inherently superior to the Albino race. These civilizations have endured for 7000 years or more, while the rise of the Albinomals was a mere 500 years ago….and the west is already collapsing. Ask yourself why, animals.

Well maybe if they had enough money for toilet paper they would, you Americans ruined their whole country as well as Afghanistan and many others!

58 Yuletide { 01.20.12 at 11:08 pm }

Ew,actualy they need to wipe with toilet paper.Sometimes,if there is no toilet paper,I will wipe with my hand (but plus soap!).This is disgusting…

59 LongDuckDong303 { 02.07.12 at 7:03 pm }

Do you think the chefs only cook with one hand…

60 James { 03.04.12 at 11:14 am }

After reading this I am not so keen on Indian restaurants :(

61 NoEcoli { 04.07.12 at 7:38 pm }

It’s not about whether water gets your ass cleaner or not! It’s the fact that toilet paper is a barrier between your fingers and your stanky poop hole. If you pour water on your ass when you stand up the filthy water will run down your legs wetting your underwear, socks etc. I would drag my ass across the ground like a dog before I would dip into it with my hand. Those of you who act like wiping poop with your bare hand is fine you need to get civilized. Most animals don’t play with poop, it’s unclean.

CLARIFICATION :

The method a muslim uses after passing poop is as follows

1-open the hose of water and direct the water stream at your bum area.
2-with flowing water wipe away the shit off your bum with scrubbing with water till you are certain no shit is present there any more (now ass is clean)
3-Now wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.

same procedure is done when urinating. so pretty nuch our genital area is kept clean.

In addition it is obligatory for each muslim to pray five times a day before which includes washing :mouth+nostrils+hands till elbows+face+feets and wiping hairs+ with water (five times) . Also a bath on friday is also requisite

Also if you spill any filth on your body like poop/urine/ sperms like after intercourse, etc it becomes obligatory on muslim to take a shower. He cannot pray in this

Also during intercourse we are not the ones who take genitals in our mouths, or touch it with toungue (yuck on that)

Also cleanliness has been called half of religion for us

Now evaluate our cleanliness calmly
