<p>A lot of the luggage we (Brits and colonials) carry is a hang up from Victorian morality.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Industrial Revolution was an amazing achievement but what a massive bunch of fluffybunnys that lot turned out to be.</p>

<p>Veering off topic, but it's a "meh" topic anyway</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One thing in I spotted in Asia that I can't reconcile (and therefore I attribute to Victorian hang ups) is picking your nose in public.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What's more natural and practical than clearing an airway when the need arises? Yet ask any "westerner" and they'll tell you it's disgusting, probably while scratching their head, balls or arse.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I revelled in PDE's - public displays of excavation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spitting, sure it spreads disease, but nose picking fulfils a purpose to aid breathing. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A bit like the nonsense that is elbows on the table :idiot2: Bastard Victorians ! :)</p> -
<p>Elbows on the table AND picking your nose? A sharp slap to the back of the head will cure anyone of that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To be honest I don't see the problem with, ahem, clearing the airways. I do dislike though any form of public inspection or consuming of the contents. I do not see the merit in either.</p> -
<p>The Victorian era was seriously fucked up when it came to sex, almost two extremes, one exploring all the kinky shit and the other totally puritan, like passing laws such as the Contagious Diseases Act where women could be accused of prostitution just walking down the street, 'examined' and sent to a mental hospital until they were 'cured'.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's not really a wonder that the Victorian mentality embedded itself in NZ culture, that was the time a huge amount of migrants came over.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just weird that a mindset from 150+ years ago is still so damned prevalent.</p> -
<p>Sort of, tell a lie for long enough and it becomes the accepted truth.</p>

<p>Taiwanese don't really suppress their burps or farts (at least the men don't) - natural bodily function.</p>
<p>When you get your food, at the house at least, no need to wait for everyone, just start eating. </p>
<p>Also being forced to sit at the table and chat - chat if you want to, otherwise, do your own thing.</p> -
I immediately covered my kids' ears whilst watching TV in January when a man claimed that an offensive tackle had slipped into a tight end. But then I realised I was watching the NFL playoffs.<br><br>

<p>One thing I could never get my head around living in Taiwan - women who wore perfume or deodorant during the day, were considered whorish. OMG. I was fortunate in the subways being taller than most everyone, so at least I could breathe some fresher air.</p> -

<p>This question is hilarious, mainly cos I just googled it, and the three book contract I signed back in February is about an exclusive pleasure club attended by the highest ranking and richest aristocrats in England. EERIE. Perhaps in a past life?</p> -

<p>Do you know the song the gif came from? Nobody was grossed out, please by all means carry on.</p> -
<p>I kind of wish I was gay. I've gotten much more attention from gay men than I've ever had from heterosexual women. Which just goes to show that gays do have better taste :yes:</p>

Okay dont get me wrong here but, why is it in western countries its okay for girls to experiment in their youth and do a bit of beaver hunting in their early twenties, just to be sure? I have honestly never heard a guy say he tried batting it with the back hand and didnt like it, or is it just that its not ok for guys to say it out loud? <br><br>
I think Siam might have more insight in this but couple of my mates spent 6 months in Thailand as exchange students and what they learned there that it was pretty common guys experienced and then went back to girls when they realised it wasnt their thing. And they could actually say it out loud. <br><br>
I have never had a serious thought about being gay as i dont find guys attractive, but have to admit that there have been times I was so fed up with females and their shit that I actually played with the thought of changing teams, but fuck in western countries as a man, there is no bi, its either way.
