Now this is just plain stupid:

nope. he's right.

4/9/20 9:25am

Or, we could all just wash our hands like we're supposed to. If we have clean..

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 10:26am

Exactly. Agree that it's ridiculous.

UNLVcougar

4/9/20 10:28am

Sure we all could, but I have seen way to many people not washing hands before

4/9/20 10:34am

Great. So shake hands and then later on use your hand sanitizer. Or how about..

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 10:37am

"If you refuse to shake hands, then you're certainly going to be against...."

Don't be stupid. I never said this means no contact sports, etc. You're not...

Title of my post is a quote from you. You then listed things like wiping tears

Over sterilization of our environment is bad

Shaking hands is just plain stupid

WhirleyPop

I urge you to not give in to laziness and foolishness.

BleedCougarBlue2

4/9/20 10:38am

I'd be totally fine with that

LaserCoug

Fine by me. I'm a hugger.

DJROSS

Really? Like what? What form of "physical" interaction is there to greet......

BleedCougarBlue2

sounds good to me

BlueFrog

Im done forever. Its a terrible custom that needs to go away.

Yet people will still have hookup sex

Is that an offer?

Straw man

PharmCoug

4/9/20 9:28am

In what way? It's human touching with people we dont live with.

ABCoug

4/9/20 9:31am

So nobody should have sex again? That’s sounds good for the human race.

Superman21

4/9/20 9:35am

Yes society should prefer fathers. Not sure I suggested no sex.

ABCoug

4/9/20 9:48am

Sex does not equal handshakes.

PharmCoug

4/9/20 9:35am

So why is it a strawman then?

ABCoug

If you interviewed for a job and the interviewers reached out their hand for a

Tell that to Harvey Weinstien....

ABCoug

4/9/20 9:42am

Uhh, he's in jail, that kind of proves the point

califcougar

4/9/20 9:43am

Exactly! Thank you.

ABCoug

4/9/20 9:49am

For the vast majority, the number of people they have sex with is vastly lower

chilango

4/9/20 9:41am

And yet your risk of health issues with sex with a stranger is exponentially

UNLVcougar

4/9/20 10:30am

And yet the reward is much greater, which is why people still do it.

4/9/20 10:35am

If handshake was nearly as fun as sex it wouldn't die either, well maybe in

4/9/20 9:53am

I've been wanting the tradition to die and it had nothing to do with disease.

bluesloth

4/9/20 9:27am

That is a lot of e's.

TerribleOpinionsGuy

4/9/20 9:27am

Why? What is wrong with a handshake?

Cougar TD

4/9/20 9:51am

This video shows some of the reasons.

bluesloth

4/9/20 12:14pm

Then what's your motivation if it is "not" due to disease/illness?

Just think about what people touch with their hands all day, every day. I'm

Just watch people at church. They wipe snot off their kids face, and then go out

bluesloth

4/9/20 9:31am

But how are those without kids supposed to build up their immune system

4/9/20 9:59am

The fecal transmission alone should make anyone think twice about shaking hands

Iman23

I thought we were just trying to keep the curve below the line? Until we could

ABCoug

Fine idea if voluntary. Terrible if done by force of law.

Please let handshaking die... please.... if you want a compromise then I'll yield at a fist-bump.

The shin-kick needs to become more mainstream.

Bowing.

scootsy

4/9/20 9:33am

a short bow is superior. for most in the US it seems weird, but knowing what we know now, bowing is superior.

This problem is easily solved....

Then how will we display our dominance when we meet someone?

Well, if you do the "thumbs up," you could have a thumb war to show dominance
