[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so bizarre to me that literally the rest of the world seems to manage removing shoes just fine. Like asian grandmas are without shoes and sitting on floors until they are 100, but everyone in the US has such ailments that going without shoes for 5 minutes is detrimental to their health. Honestly, maybe more americans should not wear shoes indoors to relieve some of these extreme issues. [/quote] Ding ding ding . Americans are fat pigs with chronic health issues and live like slobs with multiple pets [/quote] And yet you want to walk around in their houses with no shoes on?![/quote] Do you envision shoes protecting you from Something socks (or indoor shoes) cannot protect you from. Americans, while super crude in many respects, are freakily obsessed with “hygiene”, while fighting so many things like public health and safety. It’s actually very interesting. Things not a judgment, just an observation from a non American. I guess for me, I wonder how much of the shoe thing, like guns or whatever, are really based on the freedom of the individual? Although, I feel like I just heard something about shoes lately that explained it. Maybe Flightless Bird? It didn't impact deeply as most of my American friends are from other cultures that take shoes off. [/quote] Well, I am an immigrant and I agree with you. Americans are freakily obsessed with hygiene in some ways while completely indifferent in other ways. I won't take my shoes off in your house because your floor might be dirty and I care about hygiene. However, I will wear shoes in my own house which means tracking in all kinds of germs including fecal matter. I will let my toddler crawl around on said floor. I will put my shodden feet on the couch or coffee table. I will shake hands with a stranger at the drop of a hat. [/quote]
