[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to admit, as a Canadian, American’s [b]requirement [/b]to wear shoes inside is completely bizarre to me. It’s another difference that, like circumcision and guns, I feel the complete polarities in our culture. I live minutes from the border so it’s not like the disparity should be so great, but it is.

This is part of why I love DCUM. [/quote]

Requirement? [/quote]

Sorry, worded it incorrectly. Requirements that people be allowed to wear the shoes. So many people here saying they would refuse to go, and piping in how disgusting wearing socks in a house is. I mean, isn’t that the point of socks?

People have said they have medical reasons for needing shoes, and shoe covers, even the ones with supposedly grippy soles, are too slippery. Some people use mobility aids that they also use outside. If people said, "Can I ask people to use a sanitizing wipe on their shoes or wheelchairs?" that would be a different question. So would, "Should I let people know that everyone needs to be in socks if they want to come?" But what people are saying instead is "You are filthy and you must come and be uncomfortable because my standards are higher than yours."

I am reminded that Canada does not accept immigrants with disabilities. [/quote]

People don’t need to make their homes ADA compliant. People with these issues should just start bringing indoor shoes with them as a courtesy and because it’s sanitary. This is a no brainer.[/quote]
