Children are so funny with the "things" they discover. My little nephew used to wave bye bye to the poops he did in the toilet as he flushed them away.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1133072 Finland 11/11/2010 12:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Even 1000 years ago it was considered unclean. Check religious books about emissions. Spit was on the list next to semen, pee, poop, and menstrual blood as unclean. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1022652Matthew 15:11 -- it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person. Even 2000 years ago it was disgusting. your exegesis is wrong; this passage is about doing away the Jewish dietary regulation, things coming out of mouth that defile are hurtfull words, evil speech ... the classic study on BIblical concepts of pollution is Mary Douglas: Purity and Danger. There is another interesting book, Norbert Elias:The Civilizing Process (Über den Prozess der Zivilisation): "The first volume traces the historical developments of the European habitus, or "second nature," the particular individual psychic structures molded by social attitudes. Elias traced how post-medieval European standards regarding violence, sexual behaviour, bodily functions, table manners and forms of speech were gradually transformed by increasing thresholds of shame and repugnance, working outward from a nucleus in court etiquette" [link to en.wikipedia.org] 500 years ago, when European kings and noblemen, Popes and Bishop sat down at the Dinner table, there was constant farting, belching and spitting going on, but gradually they learned to control their bodily functions; and in time, the commoners trying to emulate the better people learned the same. Spitting is natural, to not spit has to be learned. For instance it's not that long time ago when in trains and public places, spittoons were ubiquitous. the hockey players and other athletes are always spitting i think it's because they chew tobacco, they don't smoke because it's bad for the lungs, cardio and stamina. --- Green phlegm = bacterial infection; running nose with clear snot = virus infection |

I know. I have a fairly strong stomach, but the green mucousy stuff really makes me feel sick. Especially when it's inches away from me. you mean the stuff with little chunks in it like they just coughed up some tiny alien fish egg covered in slime. |
